Tanji is always asked for her recommendations, whether it’s for cooking tips and recipes or the tools and travel must-haves she relies on each day. And we’re answering the call!
This week: our picks for outdoor dining.
Stainless-Steel Watermelon Slicer
It’s almost mandatory to buy a big ol’ watermelon every time you visit the grocery store during summertime. Always create perfect cubes with this inventive Yueshico slicer that does all the work for you (and even comes with a complimentary melon ball scooper). ($12)
Guacamole Kit
Prepare tableside guacamole like a pro with this comprehensive kit from Williams Sonoma. Complete with an authentic molcajete (mortar and pestle), avocado slicer and cuber, and lime press, you can bring all the flair of your favorite Mexican restaurant right to your own table. ($103)
Insulated Cooler Tub with Stand
Forgo those clunky plastic coolers for your next outdoor get-together and use this colorful and eye-catching portable tub instead. Made of durable recycled fabric that you can easily wipe clean, it includes an easy-access zipper lid and a carrying sleeve for transport. Best of all, the metal stand with nonslip feet means no bending over! ($50)
Collapsible Woven Food Tent
Fend off the flies with this handy, great-looking tent from Food52. It’ll keep your food protected throughout your outdoor event, then easily collapses so you can store it away. Just as great for the backyard as it is for camping. ($30)
Citronella Body Balm
If you’re one of those unlucky souls who mosquitoes just happen to love, you need this skin-protecting body balm. Candles alone don’t always cut it, but this all-natural balm blends citronella oil with lime, beeswax, and jojoba oil to keep the biting bugs at bay while also keeping you smelling great. ($32)
