Your Cookware Helper - Cookware, Cookware Sets, and Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is a great time to express your love and gratefulness to your Mom. Show her how much you care by selecting the right Mother's Day gift for her. When it comes to cookware, or kitchen gadgets, here are some ideas that may be right for your Mom. Finding the right kitchen or cookware gift doesn't have to be difficult. There are plenty of jokes about getting the wrong Mother's Day gifts. To avoid getting the wrong gift, here are some great Mother's Day Gift Ideas:

• What would help your Mom in the kitchen?
• What has she expressed an interest in?
• What would save her time and effort?
• What would she use?

With those questions in mind, I propose some ideas.

1 - Healthy and Eco-Friendly Cookware. Popular items include ScanPan and Cuisinart GreenGourmet. Although needing to be washed by hand, they are easy to clean, and do not put off dangerous fumes.

2 - A great Saute pan - think 10-12" stainless steel from All-Clad or Cuisinart. Ideal for searing or doing a saute of chicken, scallops, or even steaks, a solid stainless steel saute pan like the Cuisinart Multi-Clad Pro, or All-Clad Stain less Steel or Copper Core. The stainless steel will help make the fond, great for sauces and gravies.

3 - Dishwasher Safe Nonstick cookware - Circulon Infinite is my recommendation. I have several pieces and they are wonderful. Easy to clean, heat evenly, and survive the dishwasher. They make a chef pan with 2 side handles that is great for all kinds of cooking.\

4 - An enamel cast iron dutch oven or casserole dish - Lodge makes beautiful pieces that are easy to clean, heat perfectly, and can be presented on the table for elegance. Similar performance to Le Creuset and Staub at a much better price.

5 - An Emile Henry Tagine - for the Mom that loves to cook and experiment with different cuisines! A Tagine is the tool to use for Moroccan, African, and Middle Eastern dishes, but can also be used for a variety of braises and dutch oven recipes. Attractive and useful, an Emile Henry Tagine is a wonderful piece of cookware to have.

These are 5 great Mother's Day Gift Ideas. Practical and useful, any of these would go over well as a Mother's Day present.

Happy cooking, and Happy Mother's Day!
