Finding the right Father's Day gift is hard, but finding a last-minute Father's Day gift? Difficult, if not impossible. With most go-to options already out of stock and a gift card not seeming 'worthy' enough, leaving you with slim pickings — or so you thought.
This year, why not give Dad a gift reminiscent of what he truly enjoys doing: cooking? From the best grill to a stainless steel waffle maker, the selections are as endless as the potential meals dear ol' Dad will be serving up, and fortunately for you, we've found them all.
Whether you're hoping to wave goodbye to all of Dad's kitchen nightmares or help him become the Master Chef he was born to be, here are five last-minute Father's Day gifts for every Dad who loves to cook.

2. An outdoor oven to whip up fresh Neapolitan style stone-baked pizza
CHANGE MOORE Outdoor Pizza Oven l Was $314.99, Now $299.99, at Amazon

3. A stainless steel waffle maker to streamline Sunday morning breakfast
Breville No-Mess Classic Round Waffle Maker for $129.95, at Amazon
This machine is the secret to making great waffles in minutes. And you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy them since there’s no mess to clean up.

Victoria Cast Iron Skillet Large Frying Pan with Helper Handle for $19.97, at Amazon
Bake in it, Fry in it, BBQ in it — The Victoria Skillet is suitable for cooking in induction, ceramic, campfire, grill, oven, and so much more. Plus, to top it off: this skillet features a deeper and a wider cooking surface, allowing Dad to sear, bake and fry better.
5. A world-class indoor grill that eliminates any guesswork
Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Searing Grill for $64.99, at Amazon
Eliminate the guesswork from your outdoor grill and reach for this indoor choice. With an adjustable temperature dial, you can sear chicken, steak, or fish up to 450ºF or turn it down for more control; either way, the 118 square inch grill surface will accommodate up to six people and lock in juices and flavors.
