Make things easier in the homestead kitchen with a gift of one of these tools.
Instant Pot: Six months ago this wouldn't be on any list I would write. Then I got an 8qt Instant Pot on sale and I've seen the other side. This has taken the place of my slow cookers. It has so many functions and uses on our homestead. I'm even thinking about buying the air fryer top for mine.
Stand Mixer & Attachments: I love my Cuisinart stand mixer. There are also a lot of attachments you can buy for to make things easier for us. If someone on your list already has a stand mixer, get them attachments. The cheese grater, veggies slicer, and meat grinders are on my list!
