If you are getting married soon, or just want a solid Bluetooth speaker, we gentlemanly recommend this Anker 20W Premium Stereo Bluetooth Portable Speaker. Thanks, Amanda and Kyle!
Cost: $50.30 Attention! This ain’t no toy. It’s a lean, mean, flame-throwing machine. Of course, while not a toy, we still have a lot of fun with ours. All that glorious butane makes us feel powerful. And, the many ways we use our kitchen torch make us feel like the culinary avant-garde. Once upon a time, we’d see a kitchen torch on a wedding registry and scoff. “How many times can one couple make crème brulee?” we’d ask. It seemed like a novelty: one of those things that people got, then immediately lost forever in a drawer. How wrong we were. First, we discounted the awesomeness of homemade crème brulee. It’s legit. Second, and more importantly, we underestimated the kitchen torch’s utility, especially when it comes to modernist cooking. Last year, we got a Sous Vide Supreme. Sous vide, a...
Cost: $179.99 A KitchenAid Stand Mixer is the fundamental kitchen appliance. Every gentlemen could use one whether he realizes it or not. It does what one would expect: mixes, stirs, beats, and kneads. But, what distinguishes it is how it does what it does. This machine is a draft horse. It’s sturdy, brawny, and industrious. It glides through basic tasks like mixing pancake batter and beating eggs. It dominates tough jobs like kneading pizza dough. And, it does this without catching fire. A claim some other brands cannot make. Equally impressive, the KitchenAid lets a home cook harness its power for non-mixing activities. We use the meat grinder attachment to make fresh hamburger and sausage. We also have the fruit and vegetable strainer attachment. It transforms our Roma tomatoes into tomato sauce. And, after infusing liquor with fruit, we use...
As far as projects go, this pegboard organizational apparatus was both cheap and easy. We bought the pegboard at Home Depot. We got the mounts and hooks on Amazon. Everything cost about $40 total. Not shabby.
Count us as recovered skeptics, but every gentleman – save for the gluten allergic – should own a toaster. Admittedly, the conventional toaster is a one-trick pony. It only toasts toast (or bagels or Pop-Tarts or English muffins). But, as an NFL long snapper can tell you, one trick sometimes suffices. Have you tried toasting something sans toaster? A dreadful experience. Plus, even if you elect a toast-less life for yourself, you should not presume to impose that existence on others. What if you have overnight guests? For shame! They deserve a better breakfast than that. So, swallow your excuses, and buy a damn toaster. We at G@H have researched meticulously and recommend the Waring Pro WT200 Professional 2-Slice Toaster (Click here). It offers a solidly built, attractive frame. At $33, you can admit without embarrassment how much you paid,...
