7 Must-Have Items for Barbecue Season

Barbecue season is upon us, and whether you're a seasoned grill master or a novice backyard chef, having the right tools can make all the difference.

1. Quality Grill: Let's start with the cornerstone of any barbecue—the grill itself. Invest in a quality grill that suits your needs, whether it's a classic charcoal grill for that authentic smoky flavor or a gas grill for convenience and quick cooking.

If you use a gas grill, be sure you have a full back-up propane tank on hand. It's no fun running out when you're in the middle of cooking for a crowd!

2. Meat Thermometer: Say goodbye to overcooked or underdone meats with a reliable meat thermometer. This simple tool ensures your steaks are cooked to perfection every time, giving you peace of mind and delicious results.

3. BBQ Tool Set: A sturdy set of long-handled barbecue tools is essential for flipping burgers, turning sausages, and handling delicate skewers. Look for a set that includes a spatula, tongs, basting brush, and skewers to cover all your grilling needs.

4. Grill Brush: Keep your grill grates clean and free from residue with a durable grill brush. Regularly cleaning your grill not only improves the flavor of your food but also extends the life of your grill.

5. Grill Basket: Don't let smaller or delicate foods slip through the grates. Invest in a grill basket that allows you to cook vegetables, seafood, and smaller cuts of meat with ease. It's a game-changer for expanding your barbecue menu.

6. Non-Stick Cooking Spray: When it comes to preventing food from sticking to the grill, non-stick cooking spray is a game-changer. Simply spray a light coat onto the grill grates before cooking to create a barrier that helps food release easily.

Opt for a high-heat cooking spray specifically designed for grilling to ensure optimal performance and flavor preservation and say goodbye to frustrating stuck-on messes.

7. Aluminum Foil: An often-overlooked yet highly versatile item for preventing sticking on the grill is aluminum foil. Get the one specifically made for grilling.

Simply tear off a sheet and place it directly on the grill grates before cooking. Poke a few small holes in the foil to allow smoke and heat to circulate while still providing a non-stick surface for your food. Get the type of foil that's specifically made for the grill.

Foil also comes in handy for creating individual packets for cooking delicate foods like fish or vegetables, ensuring they cook evenly without sticking to the grill. Plus, cleanup is a breeze.

With these must-have items, you'll be well-equipped to take your barbecue game to the next level this season!

"Your April 27th issue regarding shoes has opened my eyes. I have way too many pairs and have been very reluctant to get rid of any of them.

But since reading this issue, I've donated about half of my collection. I haven't missed any at all...and I've gained a whole bunch of space!

Thanks for your advice...which, by the way, never makes me feel bad about myself...but rather empowers me!"
