For some people. But if you are not a hostess with the mostest, don’t worry; you are not alone. The pressure to host a fun and memorable event is challenging. Be it a game night, a sit-down dinner, a tea party or a casual lunch, we have you covered with a list of the kitchen must-haves to take your next party to the next level.  

Hot Pot & Grill 

 

With this ultimate hot pot and grill combo, you can grill meats and vegetables while also cooking and customising your ideal broth, all at the same time. Since it’s fully electric, there’s no need to deal with an open flame. Simply prep the meat and veggies, set the table with cutlery, sauces, and condiments, and you’re ready to go. It’s low effort, high reward and adds a fun, interactive twist to your evening.

Ice Molds 

A low-effort, guaranteed way to impress your guests is with unique ice cubes. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can add fruits, edible flowers, or even a touch of edible glitter to the molds. No matter which route you choose, these elevated ice cubes can instantly make even a simple tray of water and sodas look stylish.

Steak Stone Grill 

If you’re hosting a group of guests who are particular about how their meat is cooked, a steak stone grill will be your saving grace. Simply heat the stones in your oven to the recommended temperature, then place them in front of your guests and let them cook their meat exactly how they like it. These stones don’t just solve a common hosting dilemma but also add a fun, theatrical element to the meal that your friends will be talking about for days.

Blow Torch 

 

A must-have for anyone who grew up watching Phineas and Ferb and felt an undeniable connection to Dr. Doofenshmirtz (and yes, I know the song is playing in your head right now). Feel free to channel your inner Lucy and announce “Blow torch!” to your guests, preferably in the same tune as “Lipstick taser!”

This butane-powered blow torch adds a whole new level of theatrics to your bartending, barista, and presentation skills. Torch desserts, smoke your meats, or decorate your drinks—the possibilities are endless. It’s guaranteed to end up on your guests' social media feeds.

Butter makes everything better, so why not give it the spotlight it deserves (literally)? This butter candle is fun, cute, and of course, delicious (because, well, butter). Just set it in front of your guests, light the candle, hand out some bread, crackers, and other carby goodness, and watch as they eagerly dip and devour the candle long before the wick burns out.

Fondue Set

Picture this: your friends are deep into a chaotic game of Monopoly. One friend is making wildly unhinged deals like their life depends on it, another is deep in debt and campaigning for a new game, and the rest of the group is treating the whole scene like a live soap opera.

That’s when you walk in from the kitchen, fondue set in hand, filled with warm, melted cheese. Paired with bread, veggies, and more, it instantly levels up your cosy game night to peak comfort. You can even swap the cheese for chocolate and make it the star of your next date night. However you choose to use it, this fondue set is guaranteed to steal the show and leave everyone smiling.

Wine Needle 

Having a bunch of guests over always leads to one inevitable problem: how do you keep everyone happy? It gets even trickier when wine enters the mix. Everyone has their own preferences, and let’s be honest—you shouldn’t have to open seven different bottles just for everyone to take seven sips.

Enter the wine needle. This clever device pierces the cork, allowing you to extract wine without opening the bottle, preserving the wine’s taste, temperature, and longevity. Your guests can sample different bottles without waste, and you can rest knowing your favourite wines will still be fresh for the next gathering.

And there you have it—the ultimate list of must-haves to take your next party to the next level. Just a fair warning: invest in these, and you might find yourself crowned the official host for every future event.
