Father's Day Special: 13 Kitchen Must-Haves For Daddy Cool

My father loves adding a bit of pizzazz to everything he does, especially when it comes to cooking. So of course, when I spotted this Terracotta Baking Dish, it was love at first sight. It’s definitely something he might not buy, (because who wants to give up on good ‘ol Borosil baking dishes) so you can get it for him instead! It’s fancy, stylish, and handmade, and makes for a great serving dish too. 

Nothing beats a good morning when it starts off with an excellent cuppa. Also, know that every morning cuppa they brew will be in thought of you (yuss!). We like the Philips 760-Watt Coffee Maker in black because it looks super sleek, has a drip coffee machine pattern (so you can interrupt brewing whenever you like), is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Most importantly, it's a budget-friendly buy.

LBB Tip: They can also brew their tea with this.

A good chopping board is a must-have. And a fancy-ish heavy duty one is even better. We spotted this Acacia Wood Chopping Board on Ellementry, and love how sleek and minimal it is. It can also be doubled up as a serving platter which is a definite bonus. 

A Food Processor makes for the best gift ever, (and even if you'll might already have one at home, why not upgrade?) simply because it is a must-have and on most occasions is the cook's best friend. This Philips Processor is quite a swanky looking one that comes with three jars for several processes, which means one can shred, grind, cut, chop, make dough, mayo or even whip cream. Your chef dad is going to have a ball with this, as they can make anything from scratch with a processor, save time and clean easy. Win, win, win.

Dads love snacking, and we cannot think of a better snack than sandwiches! Plus, you know he's going to keep making you some. (So it's a definite win-win) We like the Wonderchef Sandwich maker by chef Sanjeev Kapoor. It's super-sized, functional, and also doubles as a grill (multipurpose ftw.) 

If there's one thing I know, is that dads love to take their own sweet time when they're cooking, they love experimenting with delicious stews, soups, casseroles and even rice. That's when a slow cooker comes in handy and conveniently, you can throw anything into it (one-pot cooking at its best) and end up with a hearty meal. I also know that they love multitasking, that's why we like this Bergner Supreme Slow Cooker that comes with not one, but three compartments. It comes with decent reviews, and an almost 4 start rating perfect for your dad to slow cook, brown and steam all with one appliance. Though on the pricier side, it is still an investment when it comes to kitchen appliances, so why not?

Dads seem to feel super important when they use a colander. This is perhaps why they will use it every single time they step into the kitchen. Be it to drain veggies, pasta, rice or even potatoes for fries. It is hands down one of the fastest and most efficient kitchen tools. No more silly burns and shortcuts. We like this set of 3 because the more the merrier! 

For those days when your food buddy needs to make some mash of a fruit compote, this tool is going to come in handy. It mashes super fine and with minimum effort plus it's stainless steel and cleaning it is a breeze.

This kitchen tool is a timesaver and lifesaver in the kitchen and if you get your dad this set in three sizes, your gifting worries will be over. Firstly because, food won't be wasted (a rubber spatula can get that last drop of batter into the tin), it helps spread anything and everything so well and lastly it won't ruin the non-stick of your pots and pans. The smallest size can also be used to spread butter on sandwiches with ease! They are super flexible making them easier tools to work with and are definitely stronger than steel and flimsy plastic.

Never underestimate the need of a measuring cup in the kitchen. This set of eight stainless steel cups and spoons is also better than plastic counterparts.They are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. No more second guessing and more perfect meals!

A super handy product to have! An Amazon find this Flyngo Manual Knife Sharpener is definitely something that will be used time and again. Plus, we all know there’s something about dads and tools! It’s got a four-star rating, and decent reviews, plus it is quite affordable. 

We know it’s not BBQ season yet, but come on, do Dads need a season for BBQ? Get him this pretty handy BBQ flipper that can be used for multiple things too - be it to flip burger patties on a grill, make a poori, or even easily make a fried egg. It’s handy, functional, and definitely something he’d love.
