The Must-Have Grilling Equipment for a Year of Delicious BBQs

 Have you tallied up your BBQ equipment? Today, with the popularity of outdoor living areas, people use outdoor kitchens all year long, grilling everything from ribs and corn on the cob in the summer to turkeys and roasts in the winter. A perfect grilling experience depends on having the appropriate cooking accessories!

According to statistics, more than 80% of American houses currently have a barbecue. In the summer, 45% of those households grill at least once a week, while 56% said they do so in the winter. Additionally, we cook complete menus on the grill, including everything from meats to vegetables, potatoes, and fruits for salads and desserts. Even pizza is being grilled these days!

Now that all of those delicious meals are heating up on the grill, it's time to assess your outdoor kitchen and become knowledgeable about the important grilling accessories that are required for a fantastic BBQ menu! You should include these important BBQ items when equipping your outdoor kitchen, whether you're doing it for yourself or as a wonderful grillers' gift.

Grill basket - Wrapping fish and vegetables in foil while cooking them on the grill insulates the heat but prevents the flavorful smokey grill flavour from escaping. Small, delicate dishes can be held intact in a grill basket while allowing the smokiness to permeate the basket for that authentic BBQ rice bowl.

Spice rub for meat and fish - Having a seasoning rub on hand at all times makes it simple to prepare your favourite meats and fish when you need a quick supper. A flavorful seasoning rub should incorporate a variety of herbs and spices to give the meat a savoury flavour that will meld into it as it cooks. You can either buy a lot of good rubs or make your own. Some of the best can be found at your neighbourhood gourmet shop or organic food market.

Choose your preferred BBQ flavour, such as spicy, hickory, or sweet, and always keep a few bottles of sauce on hand. A sauce works well for adding during cooking and dipping during your meal as a replacement to the rub.

A decent flipping tool - A spatula or a set of tongs are the most popular BBQ utensils for flipping items on the grill. Consider using both and experimenting with each instrument for various food varieties. On most items, tongs work well, but with any tool, you must be cautious when turning delicate dishes, such as light fish. A fork is a third alternative, but it runs the risk of piercing the meat, which will lose moisture while cooking.

Griller's Cookbook - You won't always need recipes if you have a decent sauce and a nice rub, but a good griller's cookbook will introduce you to some fresh and intriguing items to grill, including different fruits for salads and dessert! In order to assist you finish your meal menus, it will also include side dish recipes.

A drink chiller definitely improves the whole grilling experience for the cook! A skilled grill chef must keep a drink cool while he or she is standing over the hot grill. During the sweltering summer, this may be considered a necessary grilling accessory.

Consider the BBQ items and tools you're using with your grill, whether you're just getting started or have been grilling for a while, and keep the fire going! All throughout the year, try out various dishes and flavours. You'll be glad you did it for both your tummy and your dinner guests!
