Outdoor cooking is a favorite activity for many people. Whether you're grilling hamburgers or hot dogs, the food seems to taste better when cooked on the grill. Accessories are an important part of the grilling experience, as it takes a certain set of tools to get the food cooked properly. Whether you are using a propane or charcoal grill, grill accessories are an important part of any barbeque treat. The right utensils, covers and cooking aides are essential for the fun culinary experience of cooking food on a grill. Here is a rundown of the most commonly-used grill accessories. Utensils When thinking of grill accessories, the first thing that comes to mind is the utensil. Utensils should have long handles to protect your hands from the intense heat. Utensils should include tongs, which are ideal for turning steaks as you don't want to pierce the meat with a fork; flat spatulas, to slide under hamburgers, basting brushes, which are a must to brush on any barbecue sauce or marinade and forks. Most of the utensils will also have a leather strap on the end of the handle to hang from the grill. Covers If you prefer outdoor cooking, a grill cover is a must-have accessory. It prevents bugs and dirt from accumulating on the grill between uses and also protects the grill from rain. A good grill cover can significantly extend the life of your grill. Skewers Skewers are great for cooking on a grill. Skewers allow the cook to place chunks of meat and vegetables along their length before laying them on the grill for a quick meal. They come in metal or wood and can usually be found in any grocery store. Fish Planks Wooden planks are ideal for grilling fish. Wooden planks come in a rectangular shape and can be placed on the grill with fish. This allows the fish to cook evenly on the grill, without flaking. The planks need to be soaked in water before grilling and can also do double duty for small amounts of vegetables. Bring home these grill accessories and make outdoor cooking fun and efficient.
