Helpful Holiday Gift Hints
Typically, grill gifts are reserved for male recipients and holidays that fall in the summer months. But this year, show your favorite griller – whoever that might be – that they’re on Santa’s “good list” with a few tools guaranteed to make barbecuing easy and fun. We’d like to show you a few options that cover everyone on your list from the beginning griller all the way up to an experienced pit master.
The Himalayan Salt Plate and Frame
These two products are perfect complements (although they might be sold separately!). Get your loved one started in the exciting and delicious world of salt plate cooking. They can use a salt plate to roast, sear, or bake your next grilled meal – so prepare to be amazed! Plates can even be used as a grill press on top of a large roast – the possibilities are endless!
Dual Temp Thermometer
As any seasoned grill veteran knows, maintaining steady grill temperature is tricky – it’s certainly more difficult to achieve consistency on a grill than in a kitchen oven! Help take some of the stress out of your loved one’s grilling routine with a dual-temperature grill thermometer. It features a unique probe that gives you a constant reading of both the ambient grill temperature as well as the internal temperature of your meat. These two readings are crucial to long, slow roasting or smoking, but are also helpful when cooking smaller items like steak or chops. With this information, the griller has more control over their grill, with more predicable (and tasty!) results. Even better, this thermometer allows you to set a target temperature, with a timer and audio alarm. The grillmaster can set their mind at ease knowing exactly when their grill is preheated, and when their food is at its ideal temperature.
Non-Stick Shaker Basket
When it first arrived, the grill basket was quite a useful addition to our product library. Over the years we’ve come up with baskets to suit a variety of different applications and foods. One of the most useful and convenient is the non-stick shaker basket. They are handy for saving space on the grill and cooking your meat or veggies evenly. The shaker basket is deep, allowing for a huge 6 cup capacity. Adding a hinged lid made stirring and tossing ingredients as simple as a flick of the wrist. Simply add your ingredients, close the lid, and shake the basket to rotate the food so it cooks perfectly. Best of all, the basket is non-stick so you won’t have as many stuck-on bits of food when it’s time to clean up.
Bacon Grilling Rack
Tons of foods these days come in novelty artificial bacon flavors (bacon vodka is a thing that exists, people), but let’s not forget about the real stuff! We can pretty much guarantee that someone on your list loves those savory, salty strips, so the bacon grilling rack is a perfect gift. Bacon can actually be difficult to grill; it’s high in fat, which is a primary cause of flare-ups, and the narrow strips have a tendency to slip between grill grates. To tackle the first issue, we’ve designed a reservoir on each side of the rack so the grease stays where it needs to be: away from the fire. Plus, bacon fat is one of the most flavorful fats you can use to cook with. Simply empty out the each side of the rack and refrigerate the fat for the next time you cook. As for the second problem, your tasty strips of smoky pork have no chance of falling through the grates when they’re carefully draped over this rack.
Stainless Griddle for Kettle Grills
Speaking of bacon, we also have the perfect tool for the rest of breakfast. This griddle is specifically designed in a half-circle shape to fit the classic backyard kettle grill. It’s a heavy-duty tool and great at conducting heat. The griddle features plenty of space for pancakes, sausage, eggs, and potatoes. It can also grill a variety of things you normally wouldn’t be able to such as grilled cheese sandwiches, smash burgers, a classic Philly cheesesteak, or even a delicate fish filet.
No matter who’s on your holiday gift list – Dad, Mom, grandparents, friends, coworkers, your wife’s brother’s cousin twice removed – as long as they love food, a grilling gift is both a perfect treat and practical tool. And if they use their new present to make you something to eat, well, that just makes it the gift that keeps on giving.
