It's clear that cooking is one of Dylan Dreyer's biggest passions. The New York Times Bestselling author (via Penguin Random House) told E! News in September that she prefers using tried-and-true appliances, such as the Farberware Electric Percolator ($55.11), versus luxury items. For Dreyer, brewing coffee the traditional way is an experience. "People make fun of it because it's, like, such an old-fashioned type of coffee pot," she explained. "I don't like the K-Cups because I don't like those single serves. I just want a pot of coffee. I love the sound of the percolator pot because you know it's working, and it's so hot."
Her engraved Cutco knives' longevity (a wedding gift from her father and stepmother) makes them among her most prized possessions, too. "I love how they look on the counter, and they work so well," she explained to E! News. "I love this set because it, it literally has everything I could possibly need in the kitchen. This particular set came with a set of kitchen shears, which I'll use for everything." For her mini sous chef, her son Cal, she sets aside the Opinel Le Petit Chef Set ($49).
Finally, Dreyer keeps Monini Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil ($20.82) in her cooking arsenal. And it's also her go-to Christmas gift for her friend and "Today" co-host Al Roker because "what do you get somebody who has everything and who can buy himself whatever he wants?"
