Frequently Asked Questions

What do chefs like as gifts?

Chefs appreciate high-quality equipment, so avoid gimmicky novelty items and stick with trusted brands. It’s better to give one top-of-the-line pot or pan than a complete set of low-quality cookware.

What to get a cook who has everything?

If you’re confident that the cook already has everything they need, consider giving them a better version of something they already own.

For example, an HPC stock pot with our patented Tunnel Tube Technology is still new and exciting due to its superior heat conductivity and overall quality.

What is a great gift for a foodie?

The best gifts for cooking lovers allow them to explore new flavors and expand their horizons. Focus on specialized tools that can be used to provide a unique culinary experience they may not have tried.

For example, a crawfish boil setup, turkey fryer, or low country boil pot lets them explore new cuisines and cultures and host food-centric events.

What Are the Best Cooking Christmas Gifts?

Here are 10 chef-approved presents that won’t collect dust after the holidays.

1. Stock Pot

The chef or foodie in your life probably already owns an ordinary stock pot, but they may not own a High Performance Cookers (HPC) stock pot! And even if they do, it’s one of the most versatile and useful gifts for cooking lovers.

HPC pots are twice as thick as other pots out there for better durability, and they feature our patented Tunnel Tube Technology that helps heat up 3x faster, retain the heat better, and use less fuel to save you time and money.

Owning multiple stock pots is essential for all sorts of recipes, and these can be used for frying, boiling, slow cooking, or steaming.

2. Fish Fryer

Fish fryers are some of the best gifts for cooking lovers who like making seafood. And like our other cookers, these brazier pots are versatile cooking Christmas gifts that can be used for countless other dishes.

3. Crawfish Boil Setup

If you’re shopping for someone who enjoys hosting cookouts and entertaining guests in general, consider giving them one of our crawfish cookers. These gifts for cooking lovers come with the tools required to host an authentic Louisiana crawfish boil. They can also be used for boiling crab, lobster, shrimp, and other seafood, as well as for frying, slow cooking, and steaming.

To complete this cooking Christmas gift, we recommend including Boil Boss seafood boil tools, like the Boil Boss cooling ring, for rapidly cooling the pot. This handy tool prevents overcooking for perfectly cooked seafood and stress-free events.

Their seafood boil paddle is a temperature-sensing paddle for stirring and monitoring the heat level. The Triple Jet Propane Burner is the ultimate portable heat source that allows for convenient outdoor cooking.

Be sure to toss in a few seafood seasoning bags for authentic Louisiana flavor!

4. Gas Grill

A high-performance gas grill is the ultimate gift for cooking lovers who love hosting backyard cookouts. Even if they already own a grill, our Predator BBQ Grill is a revolutionary upgrade. It’s packed with advanced features, like rust-resistance and no flare ups, that provide superior temperature control, reliability, and safety.

5. Ice Chest

Shopping for someone who loves tailgating, camping, or just keeping ice-cold beverages handy? Our ice chests are sure to please.

These gifts for foodies and cooks are durable yet lightweight, and they keep ice for a full week! Give them the last cooler they’ll ever need.

6. Turkey Frying Kit

Turkey fryer kits are some of the coolest gifts for cooking lovers who enjoy following the latest culinary trends and experimenting with new ways to expand their recipe repertoire. With that said, deep-fried turkey is far from a passing fad. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it’s always a hit at Thanksgiving and mouthwatering all year round.

Like our other cookers, these turkey fryers can also be used for boiling, frying, slow cooking, and steaming. From fish fries to chili cookoffs, their turkey fryer will get plenty of use.

7. Pasta Cooker

If you’re shopping for someone who loves Italian food, you can’t go wrong with a pasta cooker! We make a fantastic 4-way cooker so they can make different shapes at once.

These multi-purpose cookers can also be perfect gifts for foodies and cooks who enjoy frying chicken wings.

8. Seasonings

Looking for stocking stuffers? A chef’s pantry can never have too many seasonings! Give them zesty Creole seasonings that add authentic Southern flavor to all sorts of recipes.

9. Coffee Cup

Our products are famous for their superior temperature retention, and our cups and bottles are no exception. They’re perfect gifts for foodies and cooks who can’t start their day without a cup of coffee. Whether they prefer their coffee cold or hot, these travel cups will do the trick!
