Our 5 Favorite Grilling and BBQ Finds

Whether you are grilling indoors or on your patio, balcony, deck or campground, having a few helpful accessories will make your experience all that much more successful. With so many options in the market, it can be hard to know what to choose. So, Inspiring Kitchen is here to help by offering 5 of our favorite (and newest) finds for BBQ and grilling season.

Himalayan Salt Plate with Holder & Salt Plate Cookbook

If you haven’t tried this method of cooking (indoors or on the grill), you are missing out. Himalayan salt adds a depth of flavor to all different types of foods from vegetables to meats to seafood. You can use the plate on the grill to sear meat or use it cold to impart and enhance flavors in fruits, cheeses and vegetables. The block is naturally anti-micobial and can continue to be used until it dissolves.

You can find this at your local Williams-Sonoma store or online. Bonus: it comes with a Salt Plate Cookbook to give you recipe ideas and tips on using the salt plate as well as a carrying tray. $48

Double Tray Tovolo Clean Flip BBQ Tray

Grilling is such a delicious way to cook but can be messy, carrying trays in and out of the house. Tovolo has made it easy for us by creating this Clean Flip BBQ Tray that prevents cross contamination by offering a side for the raw meat and the freshly grilled food. Just flip the tray to reveal a clean serving surface that has a texture to retain the juices. Now, you no longer need to carry two trays to the grill! The Clean Flip BBQ Tray is made of melamine and is dishwasher safe. You can find it at Amazon for $28 

Weber 6492 Original Instant-Read Thermometer 

Having a thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat and poultry is very important to your safety whether you are cooking on the grill, on the cooktop or in the oven. Weber’s Original Instant-Read Thermometer does the job consistently, easily and accurately, displaying the temperature on the digital display. You can find this thermometer at Amazon for $10.
