The dynamic duo: BBQ tongs and spatula
|
We know very well that to cook a good cut of meat for BBQ the first rule is not to pierce! So the tongs are the perfect ally for turning our Fiorentina without causing damage and risking piercing the meat and letting all the juices out. To choose the one best suited to you, you don't need much information, in this case you decide based on aesthetics and comfort! Chosen by us:
Where tongs don't reach, and if you need more precision, the meat spatula appears among the BBQ tools: perfect for flipping burgers or fish without causing damage. |
All pork: claws for bbq and meat
Among the many tools, BBQ claws are the latest arrivals in Italian kitchens but which have immediately achieved great success for their usefulness. Turn the roast chicken, quickly debone a shank, hold the cut of meat still while slicing it and - most important of all - prepare a real pulled pork! And how could we leave you without claws for meat?
In our Pulled Pork Box you will find everything you need for a perfect pulled pork and pulled pork claws.

Smart BBQ: the spit
The spit has medieval origins and consists of an iron rod with a sharp tip, at the time wood was used. During hunting sessions, a fire was lit, the captured game was broken into coarse pieces and cooked, so as to recover energy for the next hunt.
Even Leonardo Da Vinci in the Codex Atlanticus spent part of his time creating an ancestor of the automatic rotisserie. In addition to beef, pork and sausage, the spit can be prepared - and perhaps the most classic version, with chicken meat.

More space: the meat grill
Perfect for any occasion, and for cooking cuts of meat or preparations that would otherwise be lost in the charcoal, the meat grill is perfect for cooking meat and fish and being able to cook each cut of meat evenly - and without causing damage. In short, the meat grill is the faithful ally of every master griller just as every soldier has his own shield.

The right temperature: the meat thermometer
Knowing the cooking times for each cut of barbecue meat by heart is one thing, understanding the perfect temperature in the center is another matter entirely.
Here, almost in last position, but not least, the meat thermometer is the real tool for those who aspire to a higher level in the BBQ world.
This is because some cooking and some cuts of meat require millimeter precision in the internal and external temperature of the cut of meat. So, a good thermometer for grilled meat - with metal stick and probe - is the real "never again without it" tool.
Here are some thermometers we suggest:
After the party: the grill brush
The party is over, now it's time to clean the grill, the metal BBQ brush is perfect for removing the coarsest residues and then moving on to cleaning the grill thoroughly.
But not only that, it is also very useful when grilling different cuts of meat and we want to avoid contamination of taste and shape: a good brush and off we go!
