For the aspiring pizzaiolo, this countertop pizza maker delivers brick-oven-inspired pizzas in 10 minutes. Whether dad prefers thin-crust or hearty thick-crust pies, the heating element on top and built-in baking stone beneath ensures perfectly cooked toppings and a crispy, golden crust. There’s even a viewing window to monitor the baking process without disrupting the heat conduction. A handy keep-warm setting keeps the fresh-baked pie at the ideal serving temperature and maintains the baking stone’s heat in between firing pizzas. Bonus points if you make dad a pie or two on his special day!

If your dad loves fried food but wants to nix the deep-fryer, this 4-in-1 air fryer delivers crisp, golden fare sans the oil and grease. We love the six-quart size, which comes with an air fryer basket large enough to fit a two-pound bag of fries or a four-pound butterflied chicken. With a super-easy interface, dad can whip up Air Fryer Chicken Wings and Air Fryer French Fries at the touch of a button. This nifty countertop appliance can also roast, bake and reheat food, sparing dad the pre-heating time on the oven and keeping your kitchen from heating up, too.

This fry pan won a spot in our Best Nonstick Frying Pans test for its eco-friendly, ceramic nonstick coating. Dad can flip, sear and scramble without worrying about the release of toxic fumes and will appreciate the superior nonstick easy-release performance. The pan is beautiful too and is available with either a slate blue or white interior. Did we mention it’s also dishwasher safe?

Talk about a moveable feast. With the summer months upon us, the pizza party goes al fresco with this handsome pizza oven. The company touts the oven’s capability to reach temperatures upwards of 900 degrees F and cook pies in under a minute, so you can turn your backyard into a Neapolitan-style pizza paradise. Now the only difficult decision is choosing which toppings you want to bake with first. (The Ooni also comes in a gas-powered version, perfect for weeknight pies.)

Award-winning pitmaster Rodney Scott built his reputation on whole hog barbecue and with his debut cookbook, he’s spilling his hard-won secrets and time-honored traditions. If Dad’s not quite ready to build his own pit, pore over the From the Grill chapter, which is devoted to grilling on a traditional grill. Here, dad can pick up techniques on maintaining temperature and airflow (and the importance of cleaning your grill) as well as master recipes like Rodney’s wings and smoked prime rib. We’ve got the BBQ bacon burgers earmarked for our next backyard get together, paired with Southern classics like pimento cheese and coleslaw from the ample Snacks, Salads, and Vegetables chapter. Oh, and there’s also a fabulous recipe for banana pudding to round out your spread.

This pan makes for a pleasurable grilling experience year-round, whether dad is at the stove or behind the grill. We love that pan is designed to prevent juices from escaping between the grates, resulting in super-tender meat that still captures the smoky flavors from the flame. Plus, dad can fit smaller veggies and proteins on the grill without worrying about them falling in. Dad can take this pan indoors to recreate the grilling experience year-round; plus, the grill marks make it look like real-deal grilling. The pan comes in a variety of colors, including classic hues such as red, flame and lapis, and newer shades like agave.

Get dad fired up for grilling season with this three-pack of blends from specialty spice purveyor Spicewalla. There’s a spicy-fruity Piri Piri blend, crafted with paprika, birds eye chili, coriander and ginger, ideal for roasted chicken or cauliflower steaks. The Blackening Rub, made with paprika, cayenne, basil and marjoram, is an excellent all-purpose rub that delivers a spicy-smoky hit. The Jerk Seasoning hits the smoky-spicy-herbaceous trifecta with a medley of paprika, cayenne, rosemary and thyme, plus a handful of fragrant aromatics like allspice. Use it to liven up all manner of proteins (like these Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Skewers) and in out-of-the-box preparations like guacamole. Your father will also earn cool-dad points with the included limited-edition Spice Daddy apron, tested and approved by founder, resident chef and Dad, Meherwan Irani, and rapper and producer T-Pain.

For meat eaters, nothing says "I love you" like the smell of bacon sizzling in the skillet. Omaha Steaks' steak-cut bacon is cured and smoked over applewood then sliced super thick — each uncooked slice weighs in at two ounces. These juicy bacon strips make a supreme addition to a Father’s Day brunch spread or to take burgers and BLTs next level. For Dad’s next party trick, have him try the bacon out in our Candied Bacon recipe.

Wow dad with a truly exceptional steak dinner this Father’s Day. When it comes to splurging on premium steak, it’s important to know what you’re getting. Dr. Sheila Patinkin, who owns Vermont Wagyu and is considered one of the country’s top Wagyu breeders, raises her certified 100% Wagyu beef cattle on her 350-acre, 230-year-old Vermont farm. The 100% Wagyu beef cattle represents only around five percent of all Wagyu sold in the U.S., and now you can get top-notch Wagyu directly from her farm to your table. The proof is in the rich taste, with a beautifully marbled, buttery and tender texture. Opt for the Celebrate Dad with Wagyu Bundle and you’ll get two large New York Strip steaks (which serve 1 to 2 people each) and one large chuck eye steak (which serves 1 to 2 people). The steaks ship frozen in vacuum sealed packages; we highly recommend stashing one in the freezer to extend the celebration a little longer.

Wagyu hot dogs? Yes, please. KC Cattle Company, founded by veteran Patrick Montgomery, has earned a reputation for its premium hot dogs and bratwurst. We especially love the super juicy and savory bacon cheeseburger bratwurst, and the family crowd-pleasing "world-famous: gourmet wagyu beef hot dogs. Order the Pa’s Picks Bundle to get packs of each, plus a Wagyu Kansas City strip steak and a jar of KC Cattle Company’s bourbon barrel smoked salt. As you’d guess, the salt is excellent for finishing steaks, but also ace mixed into potato salad and sprinkled on avocado toast. To continue serving his community, Montgomery employs and mentors veterans and donates proceeds from sales to various veterans' foundations.

Even dads who are trying to eat more plant-based don’t have to forgo their meaty cravings. Cara Nicoletti, a fourth-generation butcher, launched SeeMore Meats in February 2020 with a mission to pack more veggies — up to 35% — into her sustainable sausages, all without sacrificing flavor. We can’t get enough of the inventive flavor combinations like Chicken Parm, made with chicken, roasted tomatoes, basil, cheese and toasty breadcrumbs, or Loaded Baked Potato, a pork sausage with potatoes, cheddar, bacon bits and chives. The sleeper hit of the bunch is La Dolce Beet-a, made with pork, fresh beets and a heady mix of garlic and fennel. Order dad the Sausage Party Pack which comes with all those flavors, plus Broccoli Melt and Bubbe’s Chicken Soup. Fire up the grill!

For the bourbon loving guy, this Kentucky-distilled bourbon hits the mark. Woodford Reserve’s texture is at once rich, smooth and balanced, making it equally suited to straight sipping or cocktail mixing. The more you sip, the more you pick up on the array of flavors (there are over 200 flavor notes!), including sweet aromatics, spice, and fruit and floral characteristics. And because dad deserves better than that old juice glass he’s been sipping from, this gift set also comes with two Dartington crystal tumblers. To ensure dad savors the bottle long after he finishes the bourbon, add on the optional engraving to create a customized engraved bottle with a personal message.

This elegant rum, distilled at Diplomatico’s distillery at the foot of the Andes Mountains in Venezuela, is as delicious sipped solo as it is in cocktails. Serve it neat or over a large ice cube to appreciate the nuance in tasting notes, which include orange peel, maple syrup and licorice on the nose, and toffee fudge on the palate for a honeyed finish. If your dad loves classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan, try making it with rum for a supremely flavorful twist on the traditionally whiskey-based classics. We know it’s what’s inside that counts, but we also love the brooding, handsome look of the bottle, which we predict will quickly take pride of place on dad’s cocktail set-up.

When five o'clock rolls around, it’s margarita time. And who doesn’t want to drink like George Clooney? Williams Sonoma partnered with Casamigos — creators of the award-winning ultra-premium tequila and mezcal from George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman — on this line of mixers inspired by the brand’s house cocktails. This gift set has everything you need to whip up a stellar craft margarita for dad on Father’s Day (and all summer long), including two bottles of cocktail mixers like the all-new Blackberry Basil Smash, a sweet-tart blend of juicy blackberries, lemon and basil, and the Signature Margarita, a vibrant, zippy mix with a hint of sweetness. It also contains two salts for rimming the glass, a pink Himalyan salt and a salty-sweet medley of extra-coarse Oregon sea salt and orange peel. We love how the mixers aren’t too sweet and taste just as delicious mixed with seltzer as they do with tequila.

Whether your dad fancies himself a master mixologist or a budding at-home bartender, Avec’s line of better-for-you canned cocktail mixers satisfies beverage connoisseurs of all stripes. When cocktail-loving friends Denetrias "Dee" Charlemagne and Alex Doman realized that what they were mixing into their drinks were loaded with sugar and additives (and not all that flavorful), they developed their own line of naturally sweetened mixers in bold-yet-balanced flavors. (Although they’re so good, you could actually drink them on their own.) Try the hibiscus-pomegranate, which gets a beautiful sweet-spicy boost from Ceylon cinnamon and makes a perfect pairing for vodka or rum, or the jalapeno-blood orange, crafted with fresh blood orange and calamansi juices, jalapeno, agave and smoked salt, making it an ideal match for tequila and mezcal. Opt for a sampler pack, and you’ll get three cans of each of the five flavors (other flavors include ginger, yuzu and lime, and grapefruit and pomelo).

This coffee maker is a favorite of coffee snobs and baristas alike. Using a rapid immersion brewing process, the AeroPress makes one to three cups per press of smooth, full-flavored coffee in about a minute, which means dad gets his custom brewed cup in record time. It also yields a low acidity brew minus the bitterness that you sometimes get from using a French press, which requires a longer steep time. And unlike the French press, the AeroPress can also make espresso style coffee to use in lattes, cappuccinos and other espresso-based drinks. It’s great for using at home, but it’s lightweight and compact design makes it ideal for travel, too. Now dad won’t have to forgo his favorite brew on his next camping or fishing trip.

Christened the internet’s favorite mug, East Fork’s The Mug has certainly earned its own hashtag. The mugs are handcrafted in East Fork’s Asheville studio and come in a variety of ever-changing, gorgeous glazes in hues like Amaro, panna cotta, eggshell and taro. (Check the Last Chance section of the site to see if there are any past-season shades still in stock.) The mugs are as functional as they are beautiful. They’re designed to comfortably fit 10 ounces of liquid (12 ounces if you fill it to the brim) and fit AeroPress coffee makers as well. It’s destined to be your dad’s everyday mug, no matter his beverage ritual of choice. And we have a feeling your gift might incite mug-envy, so order one or two for the house, too.

This Brooklyn-based specialty coffee company has earned a following for its thoughtfully sourced and freshly roasted coffee beans.

With a mix of premium fruit and tempting snacks, this gift box from lauded gourmet purveyor Harry & David will satisfy all of dad’s cravings.

To satisfy dad’s sweet tooth, there are milk chocolate Moose Munch popcorn, raspberry galettes and milk chocolate-covered cherries. Make the gourmet snack session complete and add on a bottle of wine or sparkling juice.

If you’ve got a curd-loving guy in your life, Jasper Hill Farm is tops. The Vermonter gift box comes with three of the award-winning Vermont creamery’s favorites cheeses, including a wedge of Alpha Tolman, a mountain-style, raw milk cheese that’s excellent for snacking or in a grilled cheese; a wheel of Harbison, a sought-after, spreadable bloomy-rind cheese wrapped in spruce bark; and a wedge of Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, a crumbly, nutty number with a slightly tangy-sweet finish. This collection also includes pairing accoutrements such as hearty spent grain crackers and a bag of can’t-put-'em-down maple roasted nuts from Squirrel Stash Nuts. Round out the taste of Vermont with an optional add-on, Runamok Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup. It makes for an excellent pairing with Jasper Hill’s cave-aged cheeses, but we bet dad would love it with a stack of pancakes for Father’s Day brunch, too. For a gift that keeps on giving, sign dad up for Jasper Hill’s Cheese Club.

The flavor roster includes Smoky Texas BBQ, a spiced-rubbed popcorn with a touch of molasses, redolent of brisket cooked low-and-slow over an open flame; Spicy Kansas City BBQ, which boasts a savory-spicy hit from hickory and cayenne and finishes sweet; Tangy Carolina BBQ, a tangy-smoky nod to Poppy’s home state’s vinegar-based barbecue sauce; and Sweet Honey BBQ, which marries smoky spices and sweet honey for an irresistible combination. Purchase individual flavors by the bag or opt for a bundle of all four flavors to send dad on a regional barbecue tour.

With their buttery crumb, chewy texture and over-the-top flavor, you’d never guess that these cookies are vegan. The Father’s Day collection features six large individually wrapped cookies in a reusable silver tin. Flavors include classics like chocolate chip, snickerdoodle and birthday cake, plus wholly original creations like the Kona, a brown sugar cookie studded with white chocolate and macadamia nuts and shot through with finely ground espresso, and the all-new Big Poppa, a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chunks, mint chocolate chips and walnuts. We hate to play favorites, but the "Everything" is famous for a reason. Founder Maya Madsen calls this her "b-l-d" cookie, or the breakfast, lunch and dinner cookie. No matter when you eat it, the sweet-salty mash-up hits the spot with a dizzying mix of chocolate chips, pretzels, oatmeal, pecans, butterscotch chips and marshmallows.

The 'mallows double down on the chocolate factor, and are delectable to snack on, but make an excellent s'mores upgrade, too. To keep dad from slipping into a sugar coma, whip up a batch of buttermilk pancakes from the included gluten-free mix and serve him a short stack alongside a steaming cup of coffee, served in the gift set’s papa bear mug.
