5 essential tools to cook on the grill

There are hundreds of barbecue equipment in the market. But what tools are really essential for your barbecue? I will reveal you the utensils which, for me, are unavoidable around the barbecue.


The unavoidable tools that must sit around your barbecue according to me are? A good knife, barbecue gloves, a long tong, a coal shovel and a meat thermometer.

 A good sharp knife 

A good sharp knife is essential in cooking, and certainly also around the barbecue. Whether you have to cut fish, meat or vegetables, a sharp knife is essential. Never work with a dull knife blade. You will have more trouble cutting your preparations and at the same time more chance to skid and hurt you!

 Barbecue gloves 

No need to remind you, temperatures can be very hot around and above the barbecue. With barbecue gloves, you can cook comfortably and safely. Thanks to good quality heat resistant gloves, you can even hold a hot grill in your hand. Never do this with kitchen gloves, which are not designed to withstand such temperatures! You will have every chance to pierce them and burn yourself. Choose an adapted material!

A long clip

A long barbecue tong is not a luxury! It will allow you to reach your cooking foods so you can flip them over and move easily while keeping your arm away from the heat so you do not get burned. Forget the fork! It is too short and certainly does not have a heat resistant handle.

A coal shovel

I always uses a coal shovel to keep the embers in good position. Stop using your meat tongs to carry out this task, it is made to move your food and has nothing to do in the embers!
Moving the embers is very useful. You can place them on either side of the barbecue to create a very hot area over which to grab your meat, and another less hot to cook foods more gently. You can also, of course, use it to distribute very hot ember evenly.

A meat thermometer

The thermometer accurately indicates the temperature at the heart of a large piece of meat, very difficult to estimate visibly! I personally advise you to choose a thermometer with alarm, to gain more freedom and spend time with your guests without stress. Some wireless models emit a signal when your meat is ready, convenient!

Other useful tools

If they are not essential for cooking on the barbecue, many other objects can also be useful. Do not want to dirty your outfit? Remember to offer a barbecue apron! An ignition chimney can also be very valuable if you do not want to waste time waiting for the coal of your barbecue to reach the ideal temperature. Want to be at the forefront of the 2019 barbecue trends? Buy a salt stone! It is used as a plancha, placed directly on the grill. It will bring a new flavor to your food!
