The Best Cookware for Everyone on Your Gift List
If you love cooking and want to share your passion with others in your life, consider giving the best cookware to your friends and family for the holidays or on other occasions. However, one size cannot fit all so here are some suggestions on the best cookware to get for different people.
College Bound Nephew
If you want to help your nephew spruce up his dorm room and get in the habit of some healthy cooking as opposed to always eating junky fast food, get him the best cookware for his needs by not spending a lot of money on the cookware but spending a little time on the gift instead. What this means is that buy him a basic cookware set from Target or IKEA for under $50 which has a frying pan, a medium sized sauce pan, a skillet and a larger pan if he has company. Then add the time factor by packaging the best cookware you find in your budget with some easy recipes which he can follow so that cooking doesn't seem like a bore. Look for healthful ingredients that guys will love and that are a snap to make. This way you'll be giving him a gift of healthy eating which is very rare to find in college life.
Empty Nester In-Laws
Your mother in law may have been the best cook in her day but now that they are empty nesters, they are downsizing and it is due time that she say goodbye to her ancient cookware. You can get them the best cookware by looking for medium sized pieces from reputable companies like Farberware or Philippe Richard which are good quality but not very expensive either. This is because while good quality is important; the elderly do not entertain all that much and they wouldn't want very heavy cast iron cookware that can be burdensome to move around.
Moreover, the handles on the cookware you choose should have safety cooling vents so that hands are not accidentally burnt. Plus, the best cookware for seniors is definitely one that is dishwasher safe as they do not have the strength to stand and hand wash pots and pans.
Cooking Pro Sister
If your sister loves spending time in the kitchen and is always having guests oohing and aahing over her wonderful concoctions, the best cookware for her would be something new. This could be a pink handled frying pan which will not only turn heads at a breakfast party when she is whipping up her famous omelets but help support breast cancer research as well.
