kaboompic.com @PexelsIt's Father’s Day weekend and its already been the source of one of our favourite job listings. We can tell that some of you are already planning a BBQ lunch or dinner to celebrate this special day.
Besides, nothing else screams Father’s Day more than seeing dad at the grill with his apron on, cracking open a can of ice-cold beer and just owning the griller like a boss!
Then again the case of expectation versus reality hits all Dads hard. Sometimes it can get pretty messy, especially when he’s trying to step up his grill game this year. BBQ accessories make a lot of difference when trying to get the right meal out while cooking at the same time. Some of these tools are the most overlooked, and many underestimate. The smallest detail in function can make a massive difference in how your BBQ meal turns out.
For all of Dad’s BBQ needs, here are 6 tools that can help solve Dad’s grilling issues:
#1. Davis & Waddell Maverick BBQ Grill Tray ($31.95)
A tray that goes directly on the grill. Its perforated design allows food to get in contact with the flame ensuring that you won’t lose that char-grill flavour. This tray also prevents food like prawns from falling through, so you can say goodbye to waste! It gets the job done as it’s heat safe to 340°C and it is a strong piece of tool made out of heavy gauge carbon steel. Cook acorn in cob, throw in some vegetables and effortlessly grill the shrimps like a pro.
#2. Scanpan Multipurpose BBQ Spatula ($11.95)
Think complicated grilling issues such as cutting that tender meat, or simply poking just to make sure the burger is cooked well, and scooping the tiny bits of veggie on a grill. Scanpan’s got you. This spatula has a fork-like edge to hold chunky beef meat still, a filed-edge blade on all 3 edges (front, left and right) and a hole at the handle serves as a fine hanging hook.
#3. Davis & Waddell Maverick Kitchen Grill Glove ($14.95)
Fear the flame no more. We think Dads deserve a little, well not so little but a lot of heat protection while handling the grill. This glove protects the hands from temperatures of up to 250 degrees and it’s made of high-resistant aramid fibres.
Bonus: It is extra long and stretchable. Plus, it fits on both the left and right hand.
#4. Oxo Good Grips Meat Shredding Claw ($28.95)
Unless if you have claws like Wolverine and his daughter Laura in the movie Logan, you probably won’t need this. It’s by far a convenient tool to have at a BBQ party. You can use it to shred, turn, lift and transfer food from grill to table.
#5. IronChef BBQ Tongs with Torch ($27.95)
Thinking of heading out for a camping trip this Father’s Day weekend? This BBQ tong can be useful when the lights are out at night. It has an easy-click torch in between the handle so you can get direct light on to your food on the grill. Say goodbye to uncooked beef meats.
#6. Davis & Waddell Maverick Meat Branding Iron ($22.95)
Keep track of your barbequed meat. This branding iron is a fun and practical way of making sure your guests eat the right cooked piece of meat. Brand your meat rare, medium or well done while grilling or barbequing.
