When you want to make a good name for yourself as the local neighborhood grill master, you need to have the appropriate tools and accessories.
These grilling tools are a must have for the backyard chef:
You’ll want a nice set of utensils that are well suited for grilling. That means they shouldn’t be made of material that will get hot in your hands. They should be big enough that you can reach the back of the grill with them safely, but no bigger. Many bbq tools are made so big that they become hard to handle. Many a time I’ve seen a new griller use extra long tongs to grab something off the grill only to lose control and drop it on the ground. What a waste!
Another note about barbeque utensil sets: they usually come with a giant fork. Take the fork and throw it right in the garbage. No self-respecting grill master uses a fork to poke his meat. It lets all the delicious juices run out! Now what other grilling tools should we use? Well, you need to keep your grill clean so that means you’ll need a wire brush. You can get these for as little as $5.99 but I recommend going with the $14.99 models. The cheaper grill tools break apart and leave little pieces of their wire all over your grill (and in your food if you’re not careful). Better to spend the extra couple bucks and avoid the aggravation.
Safety with grill tools
Now let’s think about safety tools grill You’re going to be working over an open flame so you need to be as careful as possible. The grill will be piping hot and so will dishes, utensils, etc. At the least you should have some sturdy oven mitts handy But what I recommend is getting a pair of “Oven Gloves”. You can get them for around $12 to $15 and they’re so worth it. They’re comfortable to wear and can resist temperatures up to 480 degrees! Grab yourself a pair and you’ll be glad you did.
There’s just one more grill tools you need to add to your arsenal: a small squirt bottle. No matter how careful you are you’re bound to have a flame up from time to time. You’ll want to act fast or your whole meal will go up in smoke. If you keep a small squirt bottle filled with water around you can quickly spray down flames before they get out of control.
These are the grilling tools that will make your barbeque experience a joy.
