If you have last-minute holiday shopping left to do and you have chefs or bakers on your list\u2014or even just people that appreciate good coffee or an excellent toaster!\u2014here are a few gift ideas from Cuisinart. The items cover a range of budgets, too. Some of the products are brand-new, while others are tried and true. Retailers that carry some of these selections include Target, Kohl\u2019s and Bed Bath & Beyond.<\/p>\n

Cuisinart has a new automatic cold brew coffee maker<\/a> that was released in March, which makes cold brew coffee in far less time than manual coffeemakers. Using \u201cunique spin technology,\u201d Cuisinart promises coffee in as little as 25 minutes in a choice of three flavor strengths. Coffee can be refrigerated in the seven-cup glass carafe for up to two weeks. Retail price is $99.95. The recipe section of Cuisinart\u2019s site includes one for \u201cCreamy Cold Brew Coconut Coffee<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another new item\u2014also just released in March\u2014is a Cuisinart \u201cPrepExpress\u201d spiralizer<\/a>. It\u2019s actually described as a 3-in-1 slicer, shredder AND spiralizer, and can make eating healthier much easier. Uses include wide ribbons or crinkle-cut spirals of fresh zucchini and apples, thin or wide butternut squash or beet \u2018spaghetti,\u2019 cucumber slices for salads, and thick or thin shreds of veggies for snacks or fajita fillings. Retail price is $69.95.<\/p>\n

I have a stainless steel four-slice Cuisinart toaster<\/a> at home that I highly recommend. I never imagined how much I\u2019d appreciate having the ability to toast three or four bread slices or frozen waffles at once instead of just two. It sure makes the mornings easier when my husband and I are trying to have a quick breakfast and get ourselves to work and our daughter to school on time! Plus, this toaster has customizable settings for each two-slice section (including food type, like waffle\/bread\/bagel\/English muffin, and a shade scale ranging from 1-7). You can do toast on a darker setting on one side, and a waffle to a medium golden brown on the other.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for baking gifts, Cuisinart has several fun products including a non-stick, dishwasher-safe \u201cMini Bakeware<\/a>\u201d line with selections ranging from $5.95-$10.95. I like the mini heart pans (set of 4, $9.95), and Pinterest has a lot of recipes using this type of pan. There are also traditional baking pans like an \u201ceasy-grip\u201d non-stick 17-inch baking sheet<\/a> ($23.95) with silicone grip handles or a non-stick 24-cup mini muffin pan<\/a> ($15.95).<\/p>\n
