  • Top Holiday Gift Ideas for the Foodie in Your Life

Holiday season is approaching … so it’s never too soon to start thinking about unique gifts for the foodie in your life who has everything. Whether you're shopping for your barbeque-loving father, wine-obsessed aunt, vegan-infatuated sister or the hostess with the mostest, you can’t go wrong with these great kitchen-themed gifts that last all-season long. Here are our top holiday gift suggestions for the foodie in your life:

Ribalizer Rib Cooker — With the new Ribalizer rib cooker, you can skip the messy hassle of boiling, baking or all-day smoking, and still get those tender smoky ribs you crave. Cook up to six racks of ribs for a big group or just one or two racks for the family. Easy clean-up: high-quality metal Ribalizer rack and meat separator are durable and dishwasher safe. Pans are disposable. After cooking, just toss out the bottom pan with drippings and liquid. Rinse and reuse the top pan if you like. Four pans are included. It retails for $29.95; www.ribalizer.com

BBQ Dragon — The BBQ Dragon is a fire-starting tool that starts charcoal faster than a chimney without using lighter fluid. It controls the heat of grills and smokers, revives smoldering fires, and heats ceramic cookers to pizza-cooking temps in just minutes. It works by blowing large amounts of low-velocity, cool air at fires, providing them with more oxygen so they burn hotter and faster. It’s cordless, hands-free, and portable so you can use it tailgating and camping or at the beach. It works for grills, smokers, fire pits, fireplaces, wood stoves and more. $59.95; www.BBQDragon.com

 

GrillGrates — Looking for a new way to cook fish and vegetables? Think GrillGrate. Great grilling has nothing to do with the heat source and everything to do with the grate — where the meat meets the heat and the actual cooking takes place. GrillGrates are interlocking panels that work on any grill to form a new grill surface. Quite simply, GrillGrate cooks food better: meats are juicier, more evenly cooked and perfectly seared. It works on steak, chicken, pork, fish, vegetables ... even pizza. Professional chefs, grillers and competition BBQ teams have embraced GrillGrate and its advanced science for amazing cooking results. Starts at $39.99; www.grillgrate.com

 

A-MAZE-N Tube BBQ Smoker  — Add a savory smoked flavor to your food with A-MAZE-N Products' Tube Pellet Smoker. Cold- or hot-smoke meats, cheeses, fish, nuts or salts for virtually endless flavors. Stainless steel construction is corrosion-resistant for long life. Light the pellets through the starter hole at the end of the tube. Transport easily from your grill at home to the campsite. Will produce smoke during cold smoking and hot smoking, for dour hours up to 225°. Sold in 6-inch, 12-inch or 18-inch size at Cabelas or Amazon for $19.99-$34.99; www.amazenproducts.com

Bamboo Magnetic KNIFEDock — The Magnetic KnifeDock by ebase4 provides a contemporary and efficient way to store your knives. Eliminates the typical knife block slots that dull knife blades and provide a safe haven for bacteria. Perfect for mixing and matching various sets of knives since there are no pre-sized slots. Showcases the blade for easy identification, grab the correct blade for the specific task the first time. Available at Amazon.com and Bed Bath & Beyond. The KNIFEDock retails for $29.99; www.ebase4.com

 

Food Huggers — Food Huggers are the reusable silicone cover that wraps (hugs) your leftover fruits and veggies to keep them fresh until you need them the next time. Less wasted food is more fresh and healthy food. Food Huggers reduce the need for plastic film, tin foil or baggies which end up in landfills. Food Huggers are $19 (set of 4); Avocado Huggers are $14 (set of 2). www.FoodHuggers.com
