Gadgets dad will love
Cooking meat is so easy with our favorite immersion circulator. Make any cut perfect and tender with the sous vide method that used to be tough to achieve at home. Sometimes we even take ours in the camper – cook a challenging or tough cut of beef as tender as the perfect steak with a long, low maintenance and low temperature cooking time, then sear it over the fire or in a skillet for caramelization. You’ll also never have overcooked chicken breast when you use this method. (It’s actually the only way our kids like to eat white meat chicken these days, and we don’t mind.) Get yours here: https://amzn.to/3V5SfeT
Portable chargers have become a must on all of our packing lists. They’re lightweight and versatile these days. Check out these two with different features that we think highly of: https://amzn.to/4arvfuY (with built-in cable) and https://amzn.to/3wM2Xxu (solar)
Our last recommendation, the Bubba Cordless Fillet Knife, will be dad’s go-to for everything from the mess of crappie he catches to the Thanksgiving turkey. Although we don’t get it out often, when we do we’re always really glad to have it. Find our favorite electric fillet knife on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3V4R2UW
