3 Types Of Dinner Hosts & The Kitchen Gadgets They Need

2015 Jul 22nd

Which of these quotes can you be heard saying when you’re throwing a dinner party?
“Roast is in the oven. Asparagus on the grill. How long until the potatoes are cooked?” “I think the whipped cream just needs to be a little fluffier.” “Who wants a fourth/fifth/tenth cup of coffee?”
There are so many different types of hosts out there, each with their own needs, worries, concerns, and stresses. If a host doesn’t have the right tools in their kitchen, a dinner party dream can quickly turn into a pizza ordering nightmare.

We’ve narrowed down the 3 most common types of hosts, and what they need to pull off the perfect dinner party.

The Multitasker Extraordinaire

Must-Have Multitasking Gadgets:

 

Kitchen Timer

 
When the guests arrive and your meal is not quite finished, it is imperative to have a kitchen timer that you can carry around with you - like the Taylor Chef’s Timer & Stopwatch. Follow your party away from the kitchen, you’ll know exactly when to come back in.

Multi-Use Bar Tool

 
A bottle (or two) of wine, or some bottles of beer have been known to be popped open at a good dinner party. To make sure you’re ready for anything, have The Zwilling Premium Waiters Knife on hand for popping corks and bottle caps, and cutting through foil seals.

Knife Set

 
A good knife set is essential for swiftly preparing different courses for any dinner party. All foods have different textures and needs, so look for a set with a different knife for various meats, vegetables, and breads - which you can find in this Global 3 Piece Knife Set.

Cheese Grater

 
An important multi-use gadget to have is the Zyliss Rotary Cheese Grater. After all, freshly grated parmesan cheese is much more appealing than a prepackaged shaker of cheese, and the grater can be used for nuts and chocolate - great toppings for dessert!
The Presentation Picasso

Essential Presentation Products:

Iced Tea Pitcher

 
A stray seed or piece of stem can definitely ruin the appeal of a fruit infused summer drink. To easily provide this treat for your guests, try The Fox Run Prodyne Flavour Pitcher, which allows you to add fruit to cold drinks, without the pain unwanted fruit pieces in their glasses.

Kebob Skewers

Cake & Dessert Covers

 
If you've expertly piped and frosted your cake, you'll want to avoid the risk of having this piece of art ruined while you wait for the dessert course! Having a few Johnson-Rose Cake Covers will keep your cake bump, smudge, and crumble-free until it’s time to admire.

Meat Thermometer

 
A meat thermometer is necessary when cooking meat, especially if you’re striving for that beautiful, tender cook through. The Cooper Digital Pocket Thermometer will help ensure your dish is cooked to perfection, blowing your guests away when they make that first cut.
