I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

    Kitchen scale. Baking is much better with weight measurements instead of volume. Also useful for calculating calories.

    Headlamp. Having light where you don’t need to hold a phone or a flashlight is great.

    Digital meat thermometer. No more guessing.

    USB charging hub. Charge many devices at once.

      I bought a scale to start measuring my coffee a couple years ago and only recently realized I could be using it for cooking. Was definitely a game changer

      I’ll second the meat thermometer. I bought one a little while ago and find that it prevents me from overcooking things out of an overabundance of caution.

        No more dried pork chops or chicken! I probe everything I eat. I also used a “Meater” to cook our Thanksgiving turkey, came out ridiculously juicy.

        Yep, got one. They’re lovely and read in one second and are extremely accurate, but a simple 4 or 5 second reader will do the job just fine for most applications. Those can be had for around 25 USD.
