Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) Brisket & Meat Trimmer
Trim fat like a pro. This Made in the USA brisket and meat trimmer slices through fat and silver skin quickly and easily thanks to a high-quality stainless steel blade and a sturdy handle. The tool’s design allows you to make parallel cuts while keeping one hand on the meat for improved safety. Perfect for both novice and professional cooks, and dishwasher safe.
2) Corn Butter Knife - Set of 2
Butter your cob right the first time. This corn butterer conforms to the cob’s contour and distributes it evenly—not a kernel left behind. Its curved stainless steel blade has a beveled edge so you can scoop straight from the tub or slice the stick, then spread in a single motion. Plus, there are two knives so you don’t have to wait your turn.
3) Original Round Cutting Board
The wood from this self-healing, end grain cutting board is harvested and assembled in a small, Nova Scotia mill. They cut it to expose the intricate patterns and gradients of the growth rings. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the fibers are lined vertically to close and heal after you’ve cut them. That keeps knives sharper and your board cleaner. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom Larch Wood board will last you a lifetime.
4) Wood Chips for Smoking Pouch
The Smokist™: Wood Chips for Smoking Pouch - Hickory
5) Multi-Use Food Tongs
This one-handed tool allows you to whisk, grab, and serve with ease. Turn over any shape of food, remove it from boiling water or hot oil, or plate your final dish. Folds flat and locks for easy storage.
