Kitchen Must-Haves & Gadgets for Summer 2022

Upgrade your Kitchenware this Summer 2022

This Summer truly is set to be a scorcher. Meaning there's no better time to invite your friends and family over for al fresco dining in the garden and whip up those summer recipes you’ve been saving for the past few months.

Here are my must-have Summer kitchen gadgets that will make your garden parties worth remembering:

Outi Pizza Oven

This isn’t the Summer for BBQs but for Pizza Ovens! Create the perfect wood-fired pizzas with an Outi pizza oven in your garden. Unlike some of the other pizza ovens on the market, this one is lightweight and portable, easy to use, and just as easy to clean too.

My guests loved coming round for freshly made pizzas, which can be cooked in the pizza oven in just a few minutes. This makes it great for feeding a large number of guests or hungry mouths!

What’s even better is that Outi also sell everything you need to make your first pizzas, including all the ingredients and the fuel, such as wood pellets and fire lighters. It’s worth ordering a Pizza Ingredients Kit with your order as this will allow you to try the classic flavours before experimenting with you own. The quality of the ingredients are superior and a perfect start to your wood-fired pizza journey!

Katto Chef’s Knife

There’s nothing worse, or more dangerous, then a dull knife when preparing a feast. Avoid any accidents with this all rounder knife capable of everything from light butchery, to carving and vegetable preparation.

With Katto you can personalise your knife by choosing the handle styles - walnut, beech or rosewood, as well get adding a monogram to it too!
