I never met a grilled anything I didn’t want to sink my teeth into.
Whether it’s baby back ribs, bell peppers or branzino, I’m down. And while our BBQ is fired up all year thanks to the LA weather, this is the season where BBQ always seems like the best idea ever. I thought I’d share some of my favorite BBQ recipes (the ones I make again and again), as well as some of my favorite gadgets for the grilling season.
WHAT TO GRILL
Love & Lemons’ Grilled Peach Salad
Salt & Wind’s Grilled Corn Panzanella Salad
Food52’s Grilled Pizza w/ Figs & Prosciutto
Mark Bittman’s Spicy Grilled Shrimp
GRILL GADGETS TO GET
Grillbots— like a Roomba for your BBQ, it cleans up all the charred bits so you don’t have to.
Range Thermometer— A digital thermometer that you can use your iPhone to monitor— get an alert when the internal temperature of your meat is just where you like it.
Looftlighter— Put down the lighter fluid— this superheater is a less toxic way to light up your barbecue.
Grill Light— For after-dark grillers, it’s helpful to see what you’re grilling (and hopefully not burning).
LotusGrill— Small, safe, smokeless grill that you can take anywhere.
Cinder— A cutting edge grill that confit, stir-fry or char a steak, “sensing” when your food is cooked as you want it.
I’m manning the grill all summer. If you’ve got a favorite recipe, I wanna know about it!
