See product →Frequently asked questions about barbecue accessories
What is the difference between a normal press and a smash press?
The classic press shapes the burger before cooking: the meat arrives already formed on the grill. The smash press crushes the meat ball directly on the very hot griddle, creating a crispy, caramelized crust (Maillard reaction) that is impossible to achieve otherwise. They complement each other: the classic for thick burgers, the smash for thin, crispy burgers.
What is the most recommended barbecue tong length?
For large grills or ground coals, the 38 cm tongs offer the greatest reach and safety. For tabletop barbecues or smaller braziers, the 35 cm ones are more manageable. If you’re also going to cook fish or vegetables, combining them with silicone ones is the ideal option.
Which pitcher is better for serving outdoors: glass or acrylic?
It depends on the context. Glass pitchers are more elegant and hold very cold or hot liquids better. Acrylic ones are unbreakable and lighter, ideal if there are children or if the barbecue is in an area where bumps may occur. Pitchers with filters or lids are the most practical for outdoors.
How to keep wine cold throughout the barbecue without an ice bucket?
The gel cooling cover is the most convenient solution: put it in the freezer before going out and place it on the bottle at the moment. The Chillstick Metal is another great option: it goes directly into the bottle and cools from the inside without diluting.
