In this day and age of Internet-based meal-kit companies like Plated and Blue Apron, it has become apparent that preparing gourmet food is not as complicated as it once was. Or at least that it has become easier to educate the everyday person on how to make a gourmet meal by way of breaking everything down into smaller steps. Furthermore, a lot of cookware and utensils once exclusive to restaurants are now available trough everyday stores and e-commerce sites. In turn, if you have the time and space to do so, there is no excuse not to have some nice goods in your home kitchen.
Below are 5 new recommended items to purchase for your kitchen. As a result of acquiring all of these products, you will be able to cook, serve, mix drinks, store leftover drinks, and actually see in case of a sudden loss of power.
Savino Connoisseur Wine Saving Carafe
Designed to maintain fresh wine for up to a week, at 10.5 inches tall, the Savino Connoisseur Wine Saving Carafe is made to fit in most refrigerators. It holds a standard 750-mL bottle of wine and is available in both plastic — which is BPA free — and glass offerings. Savino is a very simple product to use as its float rests on top of the wine, thus preventing oxidation. Furthermore, its lid has a rubber seal to prevent spills. In turn, there is less pressure to finish that whole bottle of wine.
Nicknamed “the best cocktail shaker since Prohibition,” when you think about it, the cocktail shaker has not changed much over the last 100 years.

Available in both frosted and black editions, Shaker 33 has a top that locks, a nesting top, and 2 strainer hole sizes. It is BPA-free and made from shatterproof materials that also keep condensation low. In turn, Shaker 33 makes your cocktails the way you envisioned them tasting with far less clean-up to do after the fact.
Sized at 7 inches by 4 inches, these Kenyan Salad Scoops are hand-crafted and made from olivewood.

Another great item from the World Vision catalog is the Tree Of Life Candle Holder. Artisans in India make these beautiful pieces to raise themselves out of poverty and help light the way for their children’s education. They are approximately 6-inches in height and each one of these items is unique as a result of them being hand-crafted.
