Looking for a gift for my sister who is trying to be a better cook but needs help. Besides an InstantPot - what are some of your favorite kitchen gadgets for the beginner cook ?

A solid cutting board

good call!

Cannot stress good knives enough!


Not a product but if she is starting, I would recommend she check out basically from Bon Appetit. I cook their recipes often and find them really easy to follow and make. The ingredients are easily accessible (for the most part).

Oh I just made strawberry shortcake a few weeks ago using the Bon Appetit recipe! Speak of the devil.

It's a gift, so get her a personalized cutting board (bamboo/ wooden). It's classy and usable every day :)

Pampered Chef stones. I have flat stones, casserole stones, loaf stones. We used all of them often.

Food processor. A stainless steel ladle. Garlic press. Good knives. Good quality slotted spoon. Tongs.

Depending on your budget:

- Victorinox kinfe (reasonably priced and high quality, recommended by America's Test Kitchen)

- Sous Vide (honestly a cheat code for cooking, I love mine and find excuses to use it)

- Quality pots and pans (All-clad is great, but Cuisinart makes some that are of comparable quality but much cheaper)

Air fryer

Anova sous vide. Life changing!

Thermopop or similar instant thermometer

How do you deal with people who treat the creative department as their personal studio? I've recently joined a new business where other departments ask for quick turnaround stuff with no briefs or regard to the team's workloads or the strategy even.

I've done all the pushing back, advocating for the team, and educating those people about processes and how to get the best out of the team.

Has anyone successfully navigated this kind of situation before? How did you do it?

Got an offer with a 35% bump doing similar work and with the option with some remote (usually work in the office full time). Commute is a tad longer and its a small, young firm. I’ve always worked for the big guys — Deloitte, ACN. I guess the worry is the unknown of a small firm with only a handful of contracts. Granted I do hold a TS/SCI w/ poly, so if it goes bust I should be fine job security wise. Go for it?

Is carbon steel supposed to look like this? I’ve seasoned, reseasoned, wash with mild soap and water, dry it over the stove, avoid cooking acidic foods in it and it still looks like this. It used to be way blotchy before but it has gotten darker on the bottom and has gradually moved its way up.

I don’t know if I’m doing it right. I’m used to the black patina of cast iron.
