A kitchen thermometer is an essential kitchen tool. You can pick up a super-inexpensive one at the grocery store if you need it, or splurge on the $100 instant-read thermometer, or you could take the middle ground. Right now on Amazon you can buy a ThermoPro digital thermometer for just $10. It normally costs $30, so that means it’s close to 70 percent off right now.

Congrats on getting an invite to a Passover seder! You may have guessed that a Passover seder isn’t quite like a regular dinner party — and you’d be right. The seder, which is the Hebrew word for “order,” is a ceremonial event marked with storytelling, food, songs, prayers, and, oh yeah, rules — lots and lots of rules.
In brief, leavened and fermented foods are out, so are foods made with wheat, oats, barley, rye, and spelt. And, even if you’re on the rules and you were planning on making a batch of homemade chocolate caramel matzah brittle, let us stop you right there: Some Jews choose not to eat foods made in a non-Kosher kitchen or items made with non-Kosher-for-Passover ingredients.
Bottom line: You might be better off buying something versus making something yourself. Whether you’re a Passover pro or a total newbie, here are some thoughtful presents that will not only help the seder go more smoothly, but will also meet Passover’s rigorous food standards.

Among the essential staple foods I keep on hand in the kitchen at all times (I’m looking at you, olive oil, grains, and canned tomatoes) are frozen vegetables. I’m not talking about a single bag, but a selection of a few different veggies. Not only are they economical, but they also won’t go bad anytime soon. Keep them tucked away in the freezer and you can rest easy knowing that quick side dishes, wholesome dinners, and hearty breakfasts are just an arm’s reach away.

The Seder plate has a deep, rich history in Jewish culture. And every single item on the plate represents something from ancient Jews’ storied past. So it should be no surprise to learn that, as time continues to go on, families have begun swapping out items or adding new ones entirely to create a Seder plate that has an extra-special place at the table.

Marie Kondo said we should only have things in our home that “spark joy,” but I never thought that applied to cleaning essentials — until now. I was at a friend’s apartment recently for dinner when he pulled out the sleekest, most compact broom I’ve ever seen. It’s just a kitchen broom, I thought, as he gracefully swept his tiny kitchen. Maybe this is just a sign that I’m about to turn 30.
But I kept thinking about this kitchen broom. Only later did I find out, after I asked my friend, that the broom is from MUJI — a mere block or two away from my office — and it’s less than $7 (plus $5 for the aluminum poll it attaches to). Readers, I bought it.
