Summer Grilling & Cooking Tips: Share Your Favorites!

[kcjodih]

For our meeting this week my director has asked for tool tips for favorite SUMMER products and I'm stumped. Some that have been suggested are the grill basket and tray for grilling veggies, the quickstir for no longer looking for a long handled spoon, and the measure mix n pour for making homemade salad dressings without all the additives.

Does anyone else have any to share? Thanks all!

Corn Cob Nobs--Remind everyone that you put these in before you cook the corn. Yes, it works whether you boil, microwave, or grill your corn. You must, however, grill properly over medium heat coals. If you have flames shooting up through your grates you'll melt your Corn Cob Nobs. (I'm shocked at how many people have these but don't know they can do this.)Stoneware--use a stone to make cookies on the grill. Make sure the grill is at about medium heat. Turn off your gas grill or separate the coals in your charcoal grill to stop heat buildup. Put cookie dough on the stone. Put the stone on the grill. Cover. In about 14 minutes you'll have fresh cookies and a cool house.Party Sticks--use these to hold cups (or party hats) filled with popcorn, pretzels, chips, or the makings for s'mores.

There is always the kernel remover as a crushed pineapple tool. When using the pineapple wedger, you can scrape off the excess still attached to the rind and have wonderful crushed pineapple to put over ice cream or add to a fruit salad.

The collapsible bowls for shrimp and cocktail sauce, or as your garbage bowl when out on a picnic.

The trifle bowl for all those upcoming potlucks. Store leftovers in fridge when you get home happy and tired.

Our sheet pans work really great on the grill, great for stuffed jalapeno's or roasting that corn you just removed with our fab kernel cutter.

Pineapple wedger to make spears that you can grill and use over icecream with our yummy Pineapple Rum Sauce.

Apple wedger to make an onion blossom and roast over the grill. Then you don't have to worry about losing any onion on the grill. Course I'd recommend you grill the blossons in our BBQ basket or tray.

Our new cool n serve tray for all the wonderful ways HO has suggested.

Our new cool n serve tray for all the wonderful ways HO has suggested.

I don't know if it was suggested here or somewhere else but put the cooling blocks in the lid and the bottom piece over that to keep salads or potato salad, etc cool at the picnic.

Don't forget that this will void the warranty, as the product information guide does not recommend using our stoneware on the grill!!

Hi there! I'm glad to see you're looking for some summer grilling and cooking tips. As a pampered chef consultant, I have a few favorites that I always recommend to my clients. First off, the grill basket and tray for grilling veggies is definitely a must-have. It makes grilling vegetables so much easier and more efficient. Another tool that I love for grilling is the BBQ grill pan. It's perfect for cooking smaller items that might fall through the grates, like shrimp or sliced vegetables. For summer salads, the measure mix n pour is a game-changer. It's so convenient for making homemade dressings without all the added preservatives and additives. I also love the salad chopper for quickly and evenly chopping up lettuce and other veggies. Lastly, don't forget about the ice cream sandwich maker for a fun and delicious summer treat! I hope these suggestions help and happy grilling!
