Summer Grilling Essentials

You should always start with a clean grill! The best time to clean your grill is AFTER you grill so make sure you always clean your grill when you are done. This way your grill will be ready to go the next time you grill.

Your spatula should be made of metal, not plastic or wood so it won’t melt or catch fire. The spatula should have a very thin edge to make it easy to slide under foods. Having two spatulas makes it easy to press down on foods and flip at the same time, though you really only need one.

Your tongs are your primary tool of choice. These are what you’ll use to flip sausages, chicken wings, etc. Get a short pair of tongs if you want more control and get a longer pair of tongs if you want more distance from the fire. If you plan on having kids doing some grilling, get a long pair of tongs just in case.

• This will be used to apply glazes. Grill brushes are designed not to get brittle over time. Don’t try to apply glazes with other utensils (and definitely not a paint brush.)

No more waiting over a hot grill for the temperature to settle! Take out the guesswork and eliminate overdone or undercooked food, and instead make perfectly cooked beef, chicken, pork, fish, lamb, or turkey, every time! 

Use this grill topper for small foods like onions, peppers, mushrooms and shrimp. Using a grill topper will keep small food from sticking to the grill and cooking evenly.

No, you aren't cooking on these baking sheets! We like to use baking sheets to carry everything out to the grill! You can also use them to spread, marinate, and carry meats out for cooking.  Or to serve and keep the feast heated when it's time to bring 'em to the table.

Smooth metal surface makes it easy to slide food on and off. Flat surface helps the food not rotate on the skewer and turn all together for even thorough cooking on all sides.
