Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Talk about a solid essential for the home cook! Le Creuset is all about functionality and durability, and boy do they deliver. We’ve had our cast iron dutch ovens for 12 years and they’re still in great shape. The dutch oven is a versatile tool for roasting, slow-cooking, baking and frying that can go straight from stove to oven. The enameled surface has fantastic heat distribution that minimizes sticking and staining- making it easy to clean! It’s ideal for simmering soups and stews, boiling pasta, frying chicken and slow-cooking your favorite dishes. Being such a work horse in the kitchen, this dutch oven deserves the top spot for the best Amazon gifts for dads who love to cook.

Jacobsen Salt Co. Specialty Sea Salt

This hand-harvested salt, from the waters of Netarts Bay on the Oregon coast, has been quite the hit in our kitchen! My husband’s co-worker gifted us a box set of various Jacobsen Salt Co items for the holidays, and I swear it helped us survive winter in Chicago. I can’t tell you how many times one of us said ”I love this salt!”, and it went on just about everything: lemon zest salt on pancakes and crepes, ghost chili salt on tacos and chicken tortilla soup, cherrywood smoked salt on burgers, and garlic salt and black garlic salt on just about everything- mushroom soup, fresh baked breads, and roasted potatoes. Yum! (Quickly ditching this blog post to stock up on more). Here is a great salt gift set that has a set of 6 unique salts in vials on a wooden stand. If dad loves to cook (or just eat), these salts are a great, simple gift idea.

Berard Olive Wood Handcrafted Salt Keeper

If you want to spruce up your gourmet sea salt storage- this handcrafted olive wood salt keeper is a great option. This olive wood comes from sustainably managed forests and the salt keeper features a swiveling magnetic lid that swings open easily with one hand- perfect for when you’re in the middle of cooking dinner. The best part- it looks GREAT as a natural accent piece in the kitchen. A win-win!

Nutri Ninja Personal Blender

Is dad a health nut? Or at least pretends to be? This blender is perfect for single-sized smoothies, without having to bring out an intensely large blender that’s difficult to clean. We’ve had ours for years and it’s a really powerful machine that doesn’t quit- despite the ”max fill” line, my husband has (on numerous occasions), packed it to the brim leaving me thinking “he’s going to kill this machine” and sure enough, it has survived and continues to blend frozen fruits and vegetables perfectly. The 18oz and 24oz Nutri Ninja cups come with a spout lid, allowing you to take a nutritious smoothie on the go. This blender is great for blending different sauces and purées. All parts are BPA free and dishwasher safe too!

Everdure CUBE Portable Charcoal Grill

How cool is this?? This Everdure CUBE portable charcoal grill has to be one of the best Amazon gifts for dads who love to cook. This portable charcoal grill, designed by a British Chef, includes a food grade storage tray, preparation board and porcelain enamel firebox- making it easy to store, set up, cook and clean. Perfect for the beach, camping, tailgating, road trips, or for anyone who doesn’t have the space for a large grill. The company also makes this stylish carrying case to make the grill even easier to lug around. Get ready for some BBQ!

Everdure BBQ Tool Kit

To accompany the portable grill, this Everdure BBQ tool kit includes a brushed stainless steel fork, spatula and tongs. The premium tool set is made from brushed stainless steel, is highly corrosion resistant, and has soft grip handles for comfort.

Automatic Pasta and Noodle Maker

This Emeril Lagasse automatic pasta and noodle maker surely makes the cut for one of the best Amazon gifts for dads who love to cook! This compact machine comes with 8 pasta shaping discs to make spaghetti, penne, linguine, tagliatelle, udon, angel hair, fettuccine, or lasagna (plus a built-in storage drawer to hold discs). It makes up to 1 lb. of fresh, homemade pasta and noodles in minutes, and the dishwasher-safe pieces are easy to clean. This pasta maker machine does the mixing, kneading, and extruding- all in one! And the best part? It includes a slow juicer / frozen dessert maker attachment. (Cue the high-five!)

Ooni Karu 12 Wood & Charcoal-Fired Portable Pizza Oven

Want to really spoil dad? The Ooni Karu 12 Wood and Charcoal-Fired Portable Pizza Oven is probably the BEST Amazon gift for dads who love to cook. This portable oven (weighing only 26lbs), can give you a stone-baked, Neopolitan-style pizza in any outdoor space in just 60 seconds. If you’re the strategic one in the family, buy this pizza oven for dad so you too can reap the benefits and have wood-fired pizza served to you for dinner. Um yes, please.

Ooni 12” Perforated Pizza Peel

To accompany the Ooni pizza oven is the Ooni 12” Perforated Pizza Peel– a long handle perforated aluminium pizza paddle- an essential tool for bringing out those wood-fired pizzas straight out of the oven.

Cookbooks

Lastly, for the minimalist dad who thinks he doesn’t need any fancy machines, cookbooks are best. For dads who love to cook, or for dads that want to learn to cook a bit better (or need to), a cookbook is always a great gift. To add to his cookbook collection, I’ve rounded up a list of solid recommendations:
