Essential Tools and Gadgets for the Carnivore Kitchen
Equipping a carnivore with the right tools can elevate their cooking experience and make meal preparation more efficient and enjoyable.
Wireless Meat Thermometer
The Meater is a 100% wireless meat thermometer that's connected to WiFi, making it a perfect gift for a steak lover. Once your meat reaches your desired temperature, it will alert you through their cell phone app, ensuring perfectly cooked meat every time. You'll never overcook your meat again! Having an instant read thermometer is a must-have when cooking a lot of meat. It's also a more affordable option than cooking with the meater (I often use both).
Dutch Oven
This Great Jones enameled cast iron dutch oven is excellent for cooking the perfect "fall-apart-tender" pot roast. Once you start using it, you won't want to go back to a crockpot because it retains moisture better and doesn't leach toxins into your food!
Stainless Steel Dehydrator
This would make the perfect gift for someone that wants to make their own beef jerky to either save money or make sure the ingredients are clean. We have used and loved this dehydrator for quite some time now! Getting a dehydrator that's stainless steel, like this Cosori one is recommended.

Air-Fryer
For most carnivores, having an air-fryer in the kitchen is a must. Cooking with it is easy, quick, and tasty. Getting a stainless steel one like this Cuisinart, that way it won't leach toxins into your food is recommended.
A Nice Knife
There's nothing like cutting through a steak wife a big, sharp knife. This Japanese knife will surely cut through your meat just like butter. YOKASHI Kitchen Knife.
High-Quality Ingredients and Consumables
Sourcing high-quality ingredients is crucial for a carnivore diet. These consumable gifts are sure to be appreciated and enjoyed.
Redmond Real Salt
As a carnivore, you can never have too much redmond real salt! Their smoked salt and seasoning sets make for excellent gifts as well.
Grass-fed Beef Tallow or Lard
Most carnivores prefer to cook with animal fats, as they know its both more nutritious and tasty. If you're feeling adventurous and want to save money, you can homemake the beef tallow or lard! That would make for such a meaningful gift. Or, you can purchase it. Here are a few recommendations: White Oak Pastures Beef Tallow White Oak Pastures Lard Northstar Bison Tallow

Carnivore Snax
These are my favorite carnivore "snacks"-hands down. I'd highly recommend the brisket snax and the ribeye snax, though it's impossible to go wrong. The ingredients are just meat & salt (it doesn't get any cleaner than that).
Carnivore Bars
Carnivore Bars make for excellent high-fat meal replacements while on the go. They are a staple for me when I travel! I'm sure any carnivore would be thrilled to receive a box of these.
The Gift of Meat
What carnivore wouldn't be thrilled with the gift of meat? Also, why not give your loved one something nourishing, that will improve their heath? Something I love about gifting consumables is that it doesn't go to waste. If you can't find a local farm, here are some of my favorite online sources for regeneratively and ethically raised meats: Northstar Bison (Use code "RIBEYERACH" & this link for 10% off) White Oak Pastures (Use code "RIBEYERACH" & this link for 15% off)

Try our most-loved combination! Pair Signature Beef Summer Sausage with Smoked Cheddar Blend and Sweet Hot Mustard for a classic, savory bite. Try Spicy Beef Summer Sausage paired with Jalapeño Cheddar Blend and Honey Pineapple Mustard for a bite with a kick! Pair Sweet & Smoky Turkey Summer Sausage with Sharp Cheddar Blend and Cranberry Mustard for a sweet and savory flavor experience.

Beef Organ Supplements
Not everyone enjoys eating organ meats, but many carnivores want to benefit from the nutrients that they offer. Desiccated organ supplements are one of the easiest ways to consume beef liver (or other organs). The brand Perfect Supplements has the best price for the quality.
Tallow Skincare
Beef tallow is not nourishing to eat and cook with, but it's great for your skin, too! Most carnivores end up realizing that modern skincare products are full of harmful chemicals. Clara & Fritz whipped tallow cream is my absolute favorite that I've tried so far! The pemberly scent smells amazing and feels great on my skin. Clara & Fritz also has amazing tallow chap sticks and sunscreen lotion.
Tallow Candles
Most candles these days are made with harmful chemicals and oils. Tallow candles are a much healthier (and environmentally friendly) option and make for great gifts! White Oak Pastures has lots of beautiful scents available in their tallow candles.
Re-lyte Electrolytes
Those on low-carb or carnivore diets often feel better with electrolytes. It's difficult to find a brand that has clean ingredients. Redmond Relyte is the best I've found. They have an unflavored option for the strict carnivore, and several flavored options (without artificial sweeteners).
Blue Light Blocking Screen Protectors
Most carnivores are very into optimizing health. This is an excellent gift that can help improve someones sleep and overall wellness. It can be easy to forget to wear blue light blocking glasses, so having screen protectors on your phone and laptop can cut out a lot of harmful blue light exposure. EyeJust has blue-light blocking screen protectors, glasses, and more.
Fun and Novelty Items
Add a touch of humor and personality with these carnivore-themed novelty gifts.
Bacon Ornament
There's no explanation necessary for this one, am I right? Amazon has lots of cute bacon ornaments available, like this one here.
Carnivore Apparel
Visit my etsy shop for some cute carnivore & animal-based t-shirts (like this one)! Keep spreading the word that meat is healthy and good for the environment. Are you even Carnivore if you don’t tell people about it with your clothing?
