Best Kitchen Gadgets for the BBQ

Best Kitchen Gadgets for the BBQ

BBQ season is great fun; uniting friends and family outside with a delicious array of food cooked before their eyes. Using a barbecue correctly isn’t a difficult task to master however if it’s your first summer trying out a spot of al fresco grilling, Salter have a variety of kitchen gadgets ad accessories to help make the process a bit easier! Salter’s tools are designed to ensure that your meat is cooked safely for your guests which can be slightly harder to judge on a barbecue.

One of the most important parts of cooking any raw meat is ensuring the temperature is correct. Every meat has different temperature requirements to ensure all dangerous bacteria is removed and the meat is fully cooked through. The Heston Blumenthal Precision Digital Meat Thermometer is the perfect accessory designed to provide accurate readings 5x faster than a standard kitchen thermometer. Quick and easy to use, this digital thermometer has a response time of 5 seconds, with readings down to 0.1 degrees Celsius. You can measure temperatures ranging from -45 to 200 degrees Celsius, ensuring accurate temperature readings for a variety of recipes.  Dry joints are a thing of the past with this handy gadget, whether you’re cooking on the BBQ or in the oven, simply push the probe into the meat and ensure it is cooking at the correct temperature. Once the BBQ season is over, this versatile gadget can be used for roasting and confectionary making when your cooking needs to move indoors.

Another vital part of using the barbecue is timing. Due to varying across sections of a grill, ingredients will cook at different times, and with different shapes and sizes it can be tricky to keep track of everything. The Heston Blumenthal Precision Kitchen BBQ Indoor/Outdoor Timer is made to help improve the quality of your cooking by helping you keep a closer eye on everything you are cooking. This unique timer features a temperature check reminder; prompting you to use your BBQ Meat Thermometer towards the end of cooking to ensure meat is cooked thoroughly; a unique turn reminder to ensure your burgers are flipped to regularly to produce an even result and count or down functions. This timer is IPX5 rated for water resistance and coated in durable silicone for outdoor use, perfect for the unpredictable British weather. You won’t need to squint to check your cooking times, thanks to the large LED display.



Seasoning on your BBQ is something a lot of us seem to forget but it can really make all the difference. The Salter Stainless Steel Electronic Salt and Pepper Mill Set is a must have for all cooking styles or for the dining room table.
