Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) 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.
2) Open Fire Gloves
Barebones Living: Open Fire Gloves - Small/Medium
3) Personalized Lighted Spatula
Grillight: Personalized Lighted Spatula
4) Non-Stick Grill Mats
Prevent grillables from sticking to grates with non-stick grill mats. The Teflon™-coated mats are extra-wide to cover lots of grill surface and extra-thin to let searing heat pass through. They’re heat resistant up to 525° Fahrenheit, dishwasher safe, and make for easier food flipping and turning and faster grill clean-up.
5) 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.
