Accessories Every Outdoor Grill Maestro Must Have
Thursday, March 25th, 2010Every outdoor grill maestro needs these three key barbecue tools in his toolbox. These basic grill accessories include the spatula, grill brush and tongs.
The right spatula is one that have long handles keeping your arms and hands away from the heat. Search for one with a good slip resistant handle. Check the flex by putting pressure on the flipper while on the store. Look for one with tapered serrated edge which is great if you are cooking fish fillets. This will make turning the fish like a breeze.
The most versatile among the grilling tools are the tongs. Make sure to have two pairs on hand – one for moving the coals and the other for the food. Controllability is the key when choosing the right pair of tong. Look for the model with a locking mechanism allowing the tongs to open half way.
There are no outdoor chef who grill without a good grill brush. Single sided wire brush is usually enough. There are some models which come with two sided -one side with metal bristles and the other with steel wool. If you will brush your grill using the steel wool while hot, it will burn up.
