Reddit mentions: The best soup spoons

Coffee gear is always a great option. Depending on what he currently has, you could get him a kettle, scale, pour over/etc.

If he is already good on gear and you want to get him something to try out different options, a cupping set could be a good idea. Get him the spoons and cups along with a few interesting coffees from specialty roasters. Not overly expensive either.

Spoons: Hiware Soup Spoons, Round Stainless Steel Bouillon Spoons, Set of 12 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MDQ7SF1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1P-6CbKPXHSTJ

You can find tons of interesting coffees all over the internet or check out a local roaster in your town.

Edit: a good grinder also makes a great gift option (and the Virtuoso+ was just released)

knives: https://smile.amazon.com/Mercer-Culinary-Genesis-Magnetic-Rubberwood/dp/B00QYUG72U/

From a few other threads, a lot of culinary schools give Mercer knives to their students as workhorse knives. They hold an edge wellThe Genesis and Renaissance sets are very similar, just with different handles. Stay away from the millennia set, as it's crappier stamped steel (rather than forged) and doesn't hold an edge.

​

Speaking of holding an edge, Go find my man over at Upon Leather on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Sharpening-Polishing-Compounds-Double-Sided-Adhesive/dp/B075BN3LVQ/

I'm not associated with him, but every strop I've purchased has come with a hand written note and is great quality. Use the strop before anything and it will stretch your sharpening window out several months.

​

Contact grills are painfully close to being a multi-tasker. I concur with u/milee30 on the cast iron approach. Though any decently heavy pan can do the job if you're already set.

​

Sous Vides are great, especially at their newer price points. It is almost 50% cheaper to buy whole 8-10 pound cuts of steak, trim them yourself, then individually bad and freeze. Get home from work around 4 pm, fire up the sous vide and drop in a steak, and have dinner ready by 6/6:30. You can use your existing pots, or get a large cambro storage container and use it. The SV itself is small and won't take up a lot of your storage.

​

Other stuff that gets daily use:

• thermometers. One good one for sticking and one of the remote style for if you're roasting/grilling/smoking/braising anything (and to cross check your SV if necessary).
  
• Bamboo cutting boards are hit or miss. I've had ones that split in a month and ones that have lasted over a decade. Not as good as hardwood, but miles cheaper.
  
• A bench knife (scraper) or two will be a huge help.
  
• Tasting spoons. I just keep a coffee mug full of them next to the stove. best $15 I've spent in recent months. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MMZ3HK6/

I am seconding the ceramic bowls for ramen. I also recommend trying to find bowls with spoon or chopstick rests like this. I do not have the exact same style but I do like having the chopstick rest in my own bowls.

And I would definitely pass on the steel chopsticks, you'll have noodles slipping all over the place.

If you are looking to get a full set you can find spoons like these to eat the broth with if you are not fans of sipping the broth right out of the bowl.

ETA: This is my personal set. and it has worked well for my husband and I for years.

you're welcome

Hopefully by getting diagnosed you can avoid any symptoms that you may have been suffering from, and you can begin to live your life with a renewed purpose. So in that sense, congratulations.

If I were you, whenever I went to a venue-stadium or something that either allowed food to be bought in or not, I would travel with this, and the utensil of your choice. You could order a cheese steak or a turkey sandwich, or even a vegetable shish-kabob, and tell the maker to just put it in your bowl, without any bread. Eat and enjoy yourself.

I eat out a wood bowl all the time, with one of these, and it’s fun.

There're already things like this in Asia. You can get these spoons from the cultery section of your local asian supermarket.

Here're some Amazon links to them too so you can have some options:

TBH, most of the bowls I ate out of when I ate at noodle shops in Asia were the large plastic ones. I usually find them at my local Asian mart for like 5ish bucks depending on the size. Don’t forget to grab a couple of proper soup spoons like these too:

Okay, shipping killed quite a few ideas. But since you seem to like Korean food and I've had a lot of soups, maybe these would come in handy?
