Over the course of human history, many things have changed. One thing that has not — at least not at its core — is cooking.

We’re still putting food atop flames not terribly unlike we did as cavepeople — though surely we’ve come a long way with our kitchen gadgets. 

With the cost of dining out ever rising, many people are cooking at home more often. And then you’ve got the people who’ve always had a love of cooking, and are constantly whipping up new culinary delights with gusto. 

The below items at Target are ideal holiday gifts for people who cook a lot, and they’re all on sale.  

Silicone Oven Mitts 

A good pair of oven mitts is an essential item for people who cook a lot — and this may not be the sort of item we update as often as we should, waiting instead until they fall apart, which is frugal but unsafe.

Many people swear by oven mitts made with silicone, which has high heat resistance and is easy to maintain. Check out the Cheer Collection Set of 2 Food Grade Silicone Oven Mitts on sale at Target for $13.99, all the way down from $27.99. 

Oil Splatter Guards for Stovetop Cooking  

You may be tempted to buy this for yourself, too, as it’s just so useful and cute: The Cheer Collection Set of Two Foldable Aluminum Oil Splatter Guard Plates ($11.99 down from $19.99 at Target).

These protect your walls and counters from grease and oil splatter, while bringing an elegant flair to the look of your kitchen. 

Food Storage Containers 

All cooks need a good food storage system. Though it’s not the most seductive gift, the home chef in your life will appreciate a new set of storage containers.

Consider the Rubbermaid 5-Pack Brilliance Meal Prep Containers (available in black or gray), on sale at Target for $29.99, marked down from $37.49. 

Sauerkraut Pounder

This has gotta be the most niche kitchen item on this list, which puts the ball in your court, because what gift recipient would even think about buying this for themselves?

The Nourished Essentials Kraut Crusher — on sale for $25.99, down from $39.98 — makes the laborious task of pounding sauerkraut into smithereens a breeze, making for a smoother fermentation process.   

Silicone and Bamboo Wood Kitchen Utensil Set 

Silicone and wooden spoons and other utensils needed for cooking and serving meals are of top importance to home chefs.

Upgrade their collection by gifting them the Juvale 7-Piece Silicone and Bamboo Wood Kitchen Utensil Set, which was $39.99, but is now on sale for $25.99 at Target. 

Stainless Steel Knife Set 

People who cook a lot rely heavily on kitchen knives. If you suspect they could use a sharp boost here, check out the Lux Decor Kitchen Knife Set on sale at Target for $15.99, down from $25.99. 

Electric Knife Sharpener

If the master home chef in your life is already all set with kitchen knives, help them keep their blades razor sharp with the ELITRA HOME Professional Electric Knife Sharpener. It’s on sale at Target for $39.99 — all the way down from $79.95.

Dutch Oven 

We can’t think of a kitchen that doesn’t benefit both practically and aesthetically from a Dutch oven. This Crock-Pot Artisan 2-Piece Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven is a great example.

It looks like art but works like a crock pot. At Target, it’s on sale for $79.99, down from $99.99.

Popcorn Seasonings Variety Pack Gift Set 

What’s a kitchen without popcorn popping on the stovetop (or, if in a pinch, in the microwave)?

Zest up your loved ones’ favorite snack by gifting the Popcorn Seasonings Variety Pack Gift Set, on sale at Target for $21.98, down from $24.99. 

Sushi DIY Kit 

If the home chef in your life loves sushi but has never attempted making it for themselves, help them out by gifting them the MOVSSOU Sushi Making Kit Beginner DIY Set.

It’s on sale at Target for $29.99, down from $39.99. Enhance the gift by offering to help make sushi together! It could make for a fun and fruitful bonding experience.
