A lot of us experimented with making bread this past year, but for the person in your life who has focused that experimentation on the alchemy of dough, sauce, and cheese, this pizza steel will help them take their slices to the next level. It is made from the same carbon steel as their famous skillets, so it gets ripping hot quickly and helps the crust bubble and puff up by the time the mozz melts. And at the size of a perfect Neapolitan pie, it's easy to store and take to the grill for even higher temperatures.

For the Cook Who Travels With Their Blades: Waxed Twill Knife Roll

I'll admit that I am the type who travels with my tools; when we spend a weekend out of the city near farms and local butchers, I don't trust an Airbnb to have sharp enough knives to take full advantage of the fresh produce and meat. But a nice, premium knife roll like the one Made In created in partnership with Austin-based leather company Tecovas is essential so you're not putting yourself and your family in danger of an errant paring knife poking through. This roll will keep all Made In knives and cooking utensils safe, secure, and accessible for your trip to the country.

For the Grain Bowl Zealot: Entrée Bowls

It's hard to find the right sized bowl for an evening meal; you need one bigger than the ones used for cereal but not as massive as the ones used to toss a dinner party's worth of Caesar salad. These Entree Bowls are perfect for the person who loves constructing a supper salad, making a bowl of Bolognese, or attempting the viral salmon rice.
