Slow cookers can be ideal for new cooks. Don't assume that since slow cookers are easy to use that even a new cook will know how to use it. When selecting cookbooks as gifts, look for the basic and comprehensive books that include cooking tips as well as recipes. Avoid specialty cookbooks, especially for newer cooks. The specialist said gifts that are always appreciated include casserole dishes, quality pots and pans, mixing bowls, cutting boards, storage containers and kitchen timers.
Many couples register kitchen needs at local stores.
