OK, here's the gift for the cook who has everything. I have a white Kitchenaid mixer. I love it, but it looks like everyone's mixer. Not anymore. I saw Alton Brown's mixer on Good Eats one night, googled, and found FlameKA.com. Then I comparison shopped--basically everyone is charging the same price.
I got this one because it looked different from the flames. Also, my husband is a WWII buff, and he got a kick out of this set.
These decals are very heavy duty and thick. Easy to put on, and they're not coming off easily. The instructions provided are fine, but this is so easy you don't need much in the way of instructions.
FlameKA ships fast and isn't a big ripoff for shipping charges.
I know it seems like a lot of money to decorate a mixer, but I am going to have this mixer for a very long time, so break the cost down to a monthly cost, or something that will make you feel better. I spent a lot of money on the mixer, so why not a few more bucks making it special?

Anyone can do it and it makes a GREAT GIFT!------------The kit will not interfere with your accessories, the Pasta Roller Maker (PRA), Food Grinder (FGA), Juicer, Can Opener, Ice Cream Maker, Sausage Stuffer, Slicer Shredder (RVSA), Grain Mill, extra bowl, or pouring shield.------------The decal will look great on your color; Empire Red, Orange, yellow, blue, white, black, grey, brass, bronze, cobalt blue steel, Cinnamon, copper, licorice, pewter, meringue, nickel, pearl metallic, cayenne, sage, onyx black----------Note also if you send your mixer back to KitchenAid under warranty, so go your flames.

Sunbeam 5891 2-Pound Programmable Breadmaker Review

Don't let the negative reviews here fool you. This bread machine itself is great, and I can't believe how inexpensive! I picked it up for under $40 at Walmart only to see it is now $34 here on Amazon. It makes 1.5 or 2 lb loaves, has a jam setting, a "raisin beep" (signal to add fresh fruit and other ingredients during the second kneading), bake only (like cakes) and dough only (to mix in machine then bake in oven). Also has up to 13 hour delay so you can wake or come home to fresh bread.
It's the recipes that come in the booklet that are bad. They all have way too much yeast, which is a classic cause of fallen loaves. I can't imagine how they came up with recipes with so much yeast! To see what I mean, Sunbeam has all their bread machine instruction manuals available online at http://www.sunbeam.com/manualsearch.aspx?PCId=3
ANYhoo, I strongly suggest that if you've never made bread by hand before, pick up a good all-inclusive intro to bread machine baking book that includes recipes (I think Better Homes and Gardens and Betty Crocker both have well-rated ones on Amazon). Usually the front of these books include bread baking basics, regardless of whether you are using a machine. The booklets that come with bread machines have only a few very basic recipes anyway, like a crockpot instruction book. This machine is a sturdy, capable tool to use with a descent book. It's too bad the included free one is a dud!
Things to remember: you MUST measure carefully, even more so than with other baking. Don't use dry measure cups to measure your liquid ingredients. Fresh yeast AND flour are a must. Know that adding/substituting in yeast bread recipes is not as "OK" as with other baking.
Also, know that any bread machine is not as much of a "fix it and forget it" walk-away tool as a crock pot (at least, not if you want a perfect loaf every time). You need to check the dough during the second knead cycle to make sure it isn't too wet or dry (which will depend on the weather!). You may have to scrape the sides of the pan, or add additional ingredients (like fruit) later in the cycle. The bread machine is aimed at taking the physical labor out of breadmaking, and also conveniently bake in the same pan. Technically, the same can be accomplished with a heavy-duty mixer and a good oven.

Schlemmertopf Classic Glazed Clay Cooker, Medium Review

Schlemmertopf Classic Glazed Clay Cooker, Medium

I found my first Schlemmertopf at a yard sale, never used and with instructions. Ten years later I own 6 different sizes including some Romertopf brands. I don't use anything else for baking, ever, with the exception being obvious things like pizzas or cookies. So far I have found many of mine second-hand; I believe this is because people don't use the bakers properly and think they don't work.

Let me be clear on this: you need to read the instructions. I'm not used to doing that, so I'm very grateful I did this time. You MUST soak the baker in water before using for the first several times. The terra cotta absorbs the water and then diffuses it inside the baker during cooking. This creates a moist atmosphere and a naturally-occurring broth for meats. After it becomes seasoned with regular use, you rarely or never have to soak it again. Soap, cleaners or the dishwasher must never be used as the terra cotta absorbs the "flavor" of soap and this will ruin your food, however they clean up really well with water. The bakers turn out perfect, moist roasts, meatloafs (no need for a special meatloaf pan!) and chickens and food generally cooks in less time. The coloring of the bakers will change with use, just chalk it up to part of the charm of using "real" cookware.
Whenever I am cooking for company, they ask about the bakers - apparently few people have seen them or know anything about them. For that reason, they make great gifts for people who love to (or simply have to) cook.
