5 Things That'll Actually Make Dad's Life Better
1. A thermometer that doesn't mess around Dad knows when meat is done, but even pros need backup when they're cooking for 20 people. Get him something that reads fast and reads right. We're talking quick and accurate.
Get Dad the ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE (the only digital thermometer we trust - reads in 1 second, water resistant, accurate)
2. Tongs that actually grab things Those loose, wobbly tongs Dad's been fighting with? They're sabotage disguised as cookware. Good tongs have teeth that grip without tearing and springs that don't give out after a month.
Get Dad the OXO Good Grips 16-inch Locking Tongs (our fav easy spring-loaded, scalloped tips, dishwasher safe)
3. A knife that cuts instead of tears Dad's been trimming fat with whatever knife was handy, probably dulling his good knives on bones they weren't meant to handle. A proper boning knife flexes with the meat instead of fighting it.
Get Dad the Victorinox 6-inch Flexible Boning Knife (a staple in our knife roll, stays sharp, $30)
4. A grill scraper that works Dad's been scraping with wire brushes that leave bristles everywhere or those plastic things that melt. A real scraper - the kind pro's use - actually removes the buildup without the safety issues.
Get Dad the Earthstone Cleaning Block (we LOVE this thing - no wire bristles, works on any grate, better yet, clean the grill for him)
5. Music that can handle the heat Dad's been grilling in silence or dealing with phone speakers that can't compete with sizzling steaks. A speaker that's built for outdoor cooking and won't quit when things get smoky? That's the difference between cooking and having a good time.
Get Dad the TurtleBox Outdoor Speaker (caution this one's pricy but you'll see why - built like a tank, sounds incredible, handles smoke and weather)
