If you watch cookery TV, you have no doubt seen some of the excellent new cooking gadgets.  There are many and a good majority of them are available as business gifts.  Many are branded with famous names like Jamie Oliver, Paul Bocuse and Ken Hom. Promotional cookery gifts are different to most because they are used in the home.  The key word here is “used.”  If you can find gifts for your customers that they will enjoy using, they will keep your gift and it will promote your brand for years.

Following are some of the most popular ideas.  If you search the internet, you are likely to find even more fun cookery gifts.  Each of these gifts can be found in popular shops with price tags quite a lot higher then you will pay when purchasing for your customers in bulk.  Your key customers will feel very special when you present them with one of these fun executive gifts.

Pans and Woks:  There is a large selection of brand name pans and woks by Jamie Oliver and Ken Hom.  If you don’t want to pay for the name, you can also purchase generic brands of varying quality.  Many are very high quality. It is worth noting that Ken Hom has an amazing selection of accompaniments for his branded woks such as Chinese style wooden chopping boards and place settings.

Aprons:  From the very popular denim Jamie Oliver apron made famous in his TV shows to the large variety of equally nice generic aprons, you will not be short of aprons to choose from.  Each can be embroidered with your logo and details to ensure your customer remembers who gave them the nice gift.

Pepper and Spice Shakers:  There is nothing like a good quality, heavy peppermill.  They look and feel like a quality product.   With peppermills and spice grinders it is important to look for quality because the lesser quality options on offer do not last long.  You may have seen Jamie Oliver’s flavour shaker in the shops.  It is now available as a business gift and it comes with a Jamie Oliver recipe book for creating special spice blends.

Entertaining Sets:  Things such as table top nut crackers, bread and tapas sets and fancy hors devours sets are all awaiting your logo.  Gifts like these take a special place in your customers’ homes.  They will enjoy entertaining with such quality gifts and remember you each time they do.  Perhaps you may even get an invite!

Wine Sets:  Crystal wine decanters by Paul Bocuse together with multi-piece wine sets including waiter’s knives, corkscrews and drip stoppers are all on offer.  Some of the nicer sets are supplied in very attractive wooden boxes.  If you look around, you will find extra large sets including thermometers and bottle stoppers.

Knife Sets:  Everyone can use a good knife set.  Even if you are not a cook, you still need one occasionally.  There are many sets available from knife sets for chopping to steak knife sets presented in a branded wooden box.

What you can do is to learn crock pot cooking which is the most ideal way to cook during summer.

You must be wondering as to how cooking in a crock pot is going to help reduce the summer heat. Well, using a crock pot for cooking lets out less heat into the air than when cooking using a stove or an oven. So what better reason do you need than to use a crock pot for cooking your meal during the harsh summer months? By using a crock pot you can be assured that your air conditioners do not have to work overtime to keep your home cool because of the excess heat generated when cooking on stoves.

Crock pot cooking entails that you incur less cost than when you cook using traditional stoves or ovens. Most of these stoves or ovens which can be operated by gas or electricity tend to not only generate lots of heat energy but also end up consuming so much of it that using these methods for cooking can burn a hole in your pocket. Crock pot cooking means that you can be assured of saving on electricity and gas bills.

Why to use a crock pot to cook?

Using a crock pot for cooking not only helps you to save on costs but there are
Other additional benefits too! The best part is that crock pot cooking means you get to start quite early everyday when you are most enthusiastic and not at night when you would rather like to relax after a hard day at work. When you begin early in the morning you will not miss out on any ingredient that needs to be added to your cooking and you will certainly not have your meal spoilt as you will be cooking in a leisurely manner. We normally tend to botch up our meals especially when done in a hurry or when we are exhausted after a hectic day.

In crock pot cooking most of the recipes use plenty of vegetables and that takes care of all the nutrients the body needs. Cooking in a hurry deprives us of nutrients.

When you cook in a crock pot there is no messy kitchen to clean up as a full meal can be made using the crock pot. So forget about all the washing of greasy pots and pans whether by hands or using the dishwasher or both. So you will save time not only while cooking but also when it comes to cleaning the dishes. Now you need not slave it over stoves cooking in the kitchen while you miss out on the joy of watching the lovely sunset or helping your children chase firebugs or just waiting for the first star to appear in the night sky.
