Stocking Stuffing Ideas for Oven Gloves
- Some young children just becoming interested in cooking may enjoy kitchen utensils shaped like animals. Spatulas, safety kitchen shears and small animal-shaped baking pans may keep them motivated. A child who bakes a giraffe shaped cake for a family dessert may burst with pride and become eager to continue learning to cook.
- Fill an oven mitt for mom or any woman who spends lots of time in the kitchen with gifts such as small spice jars for limited amounts of expensive seasonings, such as saffron or cardamom pods, and specialized tools like a corn kerneller that removes the fresh sweet kernels from uncooked corn for use in salads, burritos and cornbread. Items such as a lime squeezer, apple corer or inversion blender useful tools that make some cooking more efficient.
- Stuff the oven gloves with a turkey baster that also injects seasonings into the bird during cooking. Or add a hollow aluminum rolling pin that you fill with ice to prepare those perfect pie crusts. A kitchen mandoline slices vegetables or fruits paper thin for those special holiday dishes and will fit in an oven glove.
- Challenge the serious gourmet by stuffing the gloves with recipes like stuffed salmon in puff pastry or mascarpone crusted lamb chops. Help the gourmet get started by including the essential items needed to prepare the recipe. Include a set of professional measuring spoons that have 10 measuring capacities and several ingredients such as Reggiano cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.
