Cooking and Baking - Retirement Gifts They'll Actually Use: A 2026 Guide
Retirement means time to actually cook dinner instead of microwaving whatever was closest. For someone who's always wanted to make fresh pasta, the Marcato Atlas 150 and Philips pasta maker are both here. The Le Creuset Dutch Oven is the kind of gift that lasts decades, and the Ooni Koda pizza oven turns a backyard into a weekend hangout spot. We also included a Breville espresso machine for anyone who's about to realize how much they spent at Starbucks over the past 30 years. Smaller picks like the Microplane zester and the Shun chef's knife round things out without breaking the budget.
