CHOW’s 2006 Holiday Gift Guide

Americans spent $31.7 billion buying stuff last December. How much of that went for smoothie makers, shrimp butlers, and joke barware unloaded at summer rummage sales is unknown.

To keep you from trafficking in this black market of holiday detritus, CHOW has assembled over 80 gifts that we certainly wouldn’t kick out from under the tree. We think we’ve got the best kitchen gadgets, coolest cookbooks, tastiest tidbits, most stunning tableware, and a few wild cards that we just like. And if any of them end up at a tag sale, let us know. We want to snag ‘em.

Why do you pick Staub over LeCreuset?

I think Silpats are great, but they are hard to give as a gift since you must know the exact size pans the recipient cooks with to make the gift helpful.

Where in the heck do I purchase subscriptions to your magazine??? I have looked all over your website and the internet and cant find anything! I want to purchase gift subscriptions for several of my friends and am done pulling my hair out...can you help??

Fly, there isn't a print magazine anymore. I hope you're not bald yet. :-) The magazine is just online.

my head is going to inpload...thanks

Have to vouch for the rice cooker. I spent a embarrassing amount of time debating whether or not I really needed a fuzzy logic--at 50-70 bucks extra--but I don't regret the splurge at all. It's also a steamer and a small slow-cooker, so there you go.

Plus, it will keep your rice hot and in perfect condition for over 24 hours. It's probably not *officially* advisable, but we do it all the time and never had anything bad result. Haven't pushed past the 36-hour mark (but plenty do).

When your next gift giving opportunity comes around remember to check out www.fuziongifts.com. Fuzion Gifts creates food and wine themed gift packages for anyone with an interest in food and wine, from the kitchen novice to the culinary guru in your life. These gift packages are definately keepers!
