Before you embark on cooking on the BBQ make sure you have the basic barbequing utensils.

• Tongs

Essential for barbequing. Chose springed tongs which stay open at all times, making sure they are robust and do not bend, and long enough so that you don’t burn your hands while working over the heat.

• Wire brush

Necessary for cleaning the grate which must be done before and after every use.

• Cloths

For holding hot objects.

• Single-use baking trays

When available, their possible uses increase. Suitable, for example, for transferring food from the kitchen to the barbeque and from the barbeque to the table.
