Essential BBQ Tools

A well-organized BBQ always comes with essential tools like controlling the heat, rotating the food, and managing your grill. Here are the BBQ must-haves you should always have with you:

Grill tongs: Turn food without ever touching it directly, as grill tongs allow you to handle hot food gently. Long-handled tongs allow you to safely flip steaks, chicken, and burgers without exposing your hands to the heat.

Spatula: A good spatula is a must-have for flipping delicate foods like fish or turning burgers without them falling apart. Choose one with a wide head and a long handle for maximum control over your food, especially when grilling at high temperatures.

Grill brush: Clean the cooking grates after every grilling session to keep your grill performing at its best. A grill brush with stiff bristles can help you scrub away grease and grime, making it ready for the next grilling session.

Meat thermometer: A thermometer ensures that your food is cooked safely and properly. For example, if you use a digital thermometer, the reading is taken within seconds; this ensures that your food is cooked perfectly.

Basting brush: A good brush to brush your meat with marinades, sauces or oils while grilling. It coats the flavor evenly and adds moisture to your grilled food.

Spikes: Skewers are a great tool for grilling kebabs or other skewers. Whether you're making chicken, shrimp or vegetable skewers, a set of durable skewers makes it easy to turn and flip your food.
