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) Cast Iron Grill Press
A cast iron grill press lends a heavy-duty hand out on the grill or when you’re cooking on the stove. It works to squeeze out extra fat and flatten foods like burgers, bacon, and steaks for faster cooking, or you can use it to grill sandwiches panini-style.
3) Barbeque Cleaning Tool
The Great Scrape: Barbeque Cleaning Tool - Woody Shovel
4) Olive Tree Adoption & Oil Assortment
This olive oil gift set comes with a story. By adopting an olive tree for a year, you’ll learn about the family-owned business that has been making pure, cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil in Southern Italy for generations. (You’ll even get a snapshot of the grove!) And, of course, you will also get three tins of their classic oil flavors.
5) Team Spirit 3-Piece BBQ Set
Sportula: Team Spirit 3-Piece BBQ Set - NFL - Green Bay Packers
