The Best Finds On Oprah's Favorite Things 2022 List For The Foodie In Your Life

In a world of "fast fashion" — and honestly "fast everything else," too — it can sometimes be hard to find high-quality products online (after all, who hasn't been wary of a suspiciously positive Amazon review). But with the holiday season nearly upon us, it's time to start seriously searching for those hard-to-find gifts. Thankfully, for yet another year, Oprah is here to help you navigate the consumer landscape.

ET says that for more than 25 years Oprah's list of her Favorite Things has been a compass for shoppers and gift-givers alike; This week she released her list for 2022, and it is chock full of gems to please even the most discerning foodie and complete any kitchen. We've gone through and compiled the best of the best into a list of our own to help make shopping for the home chef in your life (or yourself) easier than ever.

It's worth noting Digiday reports Oprah's Favorite Things list tends to give businesses a huge boost in sales, and so these deals likely won't last forever. You'll want to jump on your favorites before you have to wrap an I.O.U. instead of that gorgeous Oprah-approved gift you had your eye on.

Ever wanted to=spike your favorite spirit with an extra dose of flavor? This cocktail infusion kit makes the process easy to understand and provides all the tools you'll need.

The kit comes with a glass infusion bottle, plus seven different flavor options like floral, smoky, citrus, and chocolate, among others. A single infusion is enough to make more than six cocktails, and a handy recipe guide is included to give some inspiration to any aspiring mixologist.

An easy way to improve your everyday cooking is to invest in a good spice grinder.

This electric spice grinder from FinaMill is a great first step into the world of freshly ground spices because it takes all the 'grind' out of the kitchen task, thanks to its electric operation.

It also has adjustable grind settings that let you decide how coarse or finely ground you want your ingredients to be.
