Southern Kitchen’s Top Picks for Black Friday + Cyber Monday

Sorrento Plus 2-piece Double-Wall Coffee Mug Set:

These mugs are similar to Tervis, but glassier. A new spin on coffee mugs, it’s especially festive to drink homemade hot cocoa from these – topped, of course, with lots and lots of whipped cream.

Crafthouse Smokebox with El Guapo Essentials Bitters Pack:

Looking to take your cocktails from good to great and all the way to mind-blowing? Start by building them with hand-crafted bitters from El Guapo bitters, and then finish them off with stint in the Crafthouse Smoke box. A creative yet challenging task, it’s always fun to use the bitters to create new, contemporary cocktails and of course, there’s nothing cooler than smoking a drink in the smoke box. Try a smoked negroni or an old fashioned – or get creative and make something totally modern. This holiday combo pack is perfect for any aspiring bartender.

Staub 4-quart round cocotte:

How many pieces of cast iron does a Southerner need? The answer, a couple skillets, a grill pan and a cocotte. This item is perfect for slow-cooking meats and vegetables or for hearty stews, chilis and soups during the winter season. Beautiful and festive color, this cocotte is highly recommended for anyone who needs to complete their cast iron collection.

Demeyere 5-Plus stainless steel fry pan with helper handle:

Every Southerner should have the essentials in stainless steel cookware, a sauce pan and a fry pan. Now, revelers can elevate their kitchen to gourmet status with this fry pan that is perfect for simmering sauces and cooking up piles of veggies. The helper handle is a crafty addition when trying to move, drain and transfer and it’s surface area is big enough to handle a meal for many. Constructed of five layers, a stainless-steel interior that won’t react with foods, three layers of fast heating aluminum, and a magnetic stainless steel base that’s compatible with induction burners, this pan is unlike other cookware on the market.
