Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Instant Biodegradable Grill

This eco-friendly instant grill does the same job as its aluminum counterpart, but in a completely natural and biodegradable design. The cardboard frame, bamboo grill grates, and lava stone lining (to help retain heat) quickly assemble, and bamboo charcoal briquettes heat up in about five minutes and stay hot for around an hour. When you’re done cooking, you can toss the grill into a campfire or in a trash bin knowing it will naturally decompose.
2) French Butter Crock

Butter Bell: French Butter Crock - Maraschino Red
3) Everything Bagel & Cream Cheese Making Kit

FarmSteady: Everything Bagel & Cream Cheese Making Kit
4) Biodegradable Plastic Mixing Bowls

Bamboozle Home: Biodegradable Plastic Mixing Bowls - Black
5) Light Weight Fabric Salad Spinner

Ditch the bulky salad spinner for a slimmed-down and lighted-up way to dry greens. Gather rinsed lettuce, herbs and more greens in the super-absorbent microfiber towel and give it a (literal) whirl for a few seconds. The towel soaks up moisture while a waterproof barrier prevents splashy messes.
