Red and hearts aren’t just for Valentine’s Day. Heart-themed kitchen tools put the love in your cooking all year round.

While the phrase home is where the heart is, the kitchen is often the soul of the home. Even if the home isn’t preparing gourmet meals, the kitchen often produces food from the heart. Why not let the kitchen tools spread the love.

Heart-themed kitchen tools and gadgets add a little flair to any kitchen. The touches don’t have to be overt. A subtle heart design or embellishment can showcase the love of food and cooking. These designs can be fun and flirty while not offending the men in the house.

The Ayesha Curry line from Meyer adds Curry’s signature heart design to many of its pieces. For example, the stoneware line has a delicate heart pattern around the base of each dish. Also, the pull knob is shaped like a heart.

This subtle nod to the heart is pretty yet not over obvious. The man of the house isn’t going to refuse to use the stoneware because of the hearts. Truthfully, the heart embellishment is a simple reminder to cook from the heart and to cook with love. Two keys to any successful meal.
