Choosing Barbeque Basics That Actually Last
A sale on grilling gear is a good moment to think about what you will genuinely use, rather than filling a drawer with gadgets. A few well-made basics do most of the work at any cookout, and choosing them carefully saves money over several summers.
Start with temperature control
An instant-read thermometer is arguably the single most useful upgrade for most home cooks. Colour and firmness are unreliable guides, especially with thick cuts, poultry and burgers. A quick probe reading takes the guesswork out of doneness and helps you avoid both undercooked chicken and dried-out steak. If you smoke low and slow, a leave-in probe with a separate readout lets you watch both the meat and the cooker without lifting the lid and losing heat.
Tools worth paying a little more for
- Long tongs with a firm spring and a locking mechanism keep your hands away from the heat and give you a secure grip on everything from sausages to corn.
- A sturdy spatula with a thin, slightly flexible edge slides under burgers and fish without tearing them.
- A stiff grill brush or scraper keeps grates clean so food releases easily. Check bristle brushes regularly and replace them once they start to shed.
- Heat-resistant gloves make handling chimney starters, cast iron and hot grates far safer.
Grills and smokers: match the cooker to your habits
Gas grills heat quickly and suit weeknight cooking. Charcoal kettles offer smoky flavour and versatility at a modest price. Pellet and offset smokers reward patience with brisket and ribs but take more time and attention. Think about how often you cook, how many people you usually feed and how much space you have on a Portland deck or patio before committing to a bigger unit.
Rubs, marinades and timing
Dry rubs work well applied a few hours ahead, or overnight for larger cuts. Acidic marinades are best kept short for fish and seafood, since they can turn delicate flesh mushy. Always keep raw meat chilled until it goes on the grill, and use separate plates and utensils for raw and cooked food.
If your cookout runs late and you realise you are short on buns, sauce or charcoal, have a look at our menu and check the delivery hours to see what can reach your neighbourhood.
