The beginning of baseball season also brings the beginning of the grilling season and National Hotdog Day. Here are three products designed to make grilling easier!

The American metalcraft two-sided broiler (grill) brush is my go-to for keeping the grill clean before, during and after cooking. Dual
sided, with one side is semi-stiff, the other extra-stiff, this brush offers a tempered stainless-steel scraper on the side for those stubborn burned-on foods. What makes this my go to brush is the fact that it has a 31-inch handle that is metal threaded to the brush head.  This feature allows me to get extra power to remove the residue without fear of getting burned.

Cooper-Atkins has developed the easiest pocket thermometer not to get lost, the KwikSwitch. This easy-to-read thermometer only turns on when the (thermocouple) probe swings open. There is an option for a light to come on to illuminate the screen. For me, there are three great features making this my go to and must have. First, it runs on two AAA batteries that are good for 1000 hours.
Second, is that the temperature range is -40 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and is accurate within +/- 1 degree. Regardless of being in liquid or
a solid, this thermometer is more accurate than standard thermometers. Lastly is that if the probe ever breaks, the probe is removable and is easily switched out.

What better way to safely add toppings than with a pair of tongs? The Cambro Lugano easy grip TGG6 tong is the perfect size for this application. Just under 7 inches in length, it has a slight finger notched handle to allow for a secure grip. Made of a durable one-piece high-heat material construction, these tongs have a temperature range of -40 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit making it a go to for almost any application. These tongs are available in Black, Beige, Clear, and White and can be personalized for an extra touch.
