I hadn’t lived until I smoke infused tofu. It’s for so much more than just whiskey when it comes to things you’d might add a Smokey flavor to. Advanced foodie creativity for sure! Excellent gift for people for whom cooking is truly their craft.

I can’t cook without an immersion blender now that I’ve experienced one. Nothing gets things as smooth and I can blend right in a pot without dirtying a blender or processor. The Kitchenaid also comes with attachments so you don’t have to take your m...
