Choosing the perfect kitchen gift
When choosing a kitchen gift, it helps to match the type of cook to a gadget or appliance. A keen baker will appreciate a stand mixer more than a blender, while a weeknight cook will get more out of an air fryer than an ice cream maker. QVC’s curated range is diverse and vast enough to cover whatever type of cook you’re shopping for, and your budget.
Once you’ve narrowed down the options, it then pays to watch the products in action to make sure they’ll live up to your recipient’s expectations. When you buy from QVC, all products are demonstrated on its TV channel, in its kitchen programming and in videos on individual listings, allowing you to see exactly how each one works before you commit. And to make it even easier, these demos travel across all QVC platforms, so you can always pick up where you left off.
Finally, when you’re trusting a brand to deliver a gift experience your loved ones deserve, it helps to buy from established, top-rated names. QVC only works with brands like Ninja, KitchenAid and RSVP, backs each gift with reliable customer service and makes sure help is there if anything needs sorting out after it’s been opened.
The baker
A stand mixer is the gift that keeps on giving for anyone who bakes, and the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-qt Tilt-Head Stand Mixer is a worthy investment. It comes with a 5-qt bowl, beater, dough hook, wire whip and pouring shield to handle a huge range of baking tasks, and its 10 speeds give the kind of control precision baking demands.
Alternatively, if the baker in your life is short on space, the KitchenAid 7-Speed Digital Hand Mixer with Flex-Edge Beaters is both lower in price and smaller in size. It comes with a wire whisk and two Flex-Edge beaters, has seven speeds and a lockable swivel cord, and weighs just over 2 lbs with the beaters attached.
The everyday cook
For anyone who lives on quick dinners, an air fryer is a must-have, and QVC has a host to choose from. Our premium pick is the Ninja Crispi Pro 6-in-1 Countertop Glass Air Fryer, which covers six functions — Max Crisp, Air Fry, Bake/Proof, Roast, Recrisp and Dehydrate — up to 450ºF on 1800W. Its modular base means it can cook everything from a single portion to a 7.5lb chicken that feeds up to 10.
For something smaller and easier on the budget, the Ninja 4-in-1 5-qt Nonstick Air Fryer Pro offers Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate functions at 1750W up to 400ºF, and the 5-qt basket fits up to 4lbs of fries or 5lbs of chicken wings.
The treat maker
Anyone with a sweet tooth will appreciate the Ninja Creami 11-in-1 XL Ice Cream Maker. Fill one of the two included 1-pint bowls, freeze it overnight and the Creami churns the frozen block into a smooth treat in minutes. Seven Auto-iQ programs cover ice cream, sorbet, gelato, smoothie bowls, milkshakes and more, and 30 recipes are included.
For smoothies and shakes on the go, the Ninja Nutri Pro Personal Blender with Auto-iQ has a 1,100W motor and Auto-iQ technology to run timed blending programs, and the Pro Extractor Blade Assembly easily crushes ice.
