My Favorite Pampered Chef Grilling Tools
You guys probably know by now that I LOVE Pampered Chef! I have for years! The gadgets help make life so much easier in the kitchen. And right now I’m getting so much use out of their grilling tools. Luckily most of my favorite pampered chef grilling tools are 60% off right now (for party hosts)! Head to the website, find a host, and book a PARTY! They’re seriously so fun!
First lets talk about the Grill Basket! It’s amazing! This basket makes life so easy! Just throw everything in, drizzle some olive oil, salt and pepper on the ingredients, and place the basket on the grill. BAM (in my Emeril Lagasse voice) – you have a beautiful meal with just one pan to clean up. It’s literally easier than the crock pot.
I love how this Shrimp Boil turned out! It looks super elegant but was effortless. The key is just making sure you throw the shrimp on long after everything else – it doesn’t take near as long as the corn and potatoes to cook. I posted the recipe at the bottom of this article.
I especially love the Rockcrok! It’s great for pizza – which I dedicated an entire blog post to earlier this week (that’s how much I love it!). It’s also great to grill vegetables on so you still get that grill flavor without all the veggies falling through the grill cracks. And it’s the easiest thing to clean!
The grilling tool set is a MUST if you’ll be spending any time at all on the grill this season! These tools will last you! Trust me! I’ve gone through so many cheap grill tools and this set is in it to win it! The price is GREAT!
It’s great for everything from chicken, to brushing on marinades, to grilling pizza and more! The set includes Grill Tongs, Grill Spatula, Grill Basting Brush, Wooden Grill Scraper, and a Grilling Tool Bag. Recently, I used it to make this Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa along with Tomato Bruschetta on grilled bread!
Lastly but not least – I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Wicker Serving Caddy! Not only is it super stylish but I love how it keeps everything on the table organized. I’m all about presentation and this totally helps in that department.
I also love how it easily transitions from the grill to the picnic table and inside the kitchen. I’ll definitely be using this long after summer is over, too. It’s just so cute! That’s all my bragging about Pampered Chef for now! I’m sure I’ll have more to chat about later! Cheers and Happy Grilling!
