It would seem. . .unethical. . .if I didn’t write about grilling so close to Memorial Day. However, you must know that I am jealous of all of you who will be enjoying your grills this weekend and that I simply consider it cruel irony that I must write about grilling without actually having a grill. I may go borrow one from one of my friends.
With that disclaiming blurb out in the open I present you today with a list of latest high tech grilling gadgets. I’m sure someone with more outdoor cooking experience will laugh at my next statement but I didn’t realize that outdoor cooking had become an actual technology.
First we have the Motorized Grilling Brush from Brookstone. It polishes your grill as it cleans it and makes light work out of scraping the gunk off the grill. The brass brush removes for easy cleaning.
From Oregon Scientific, you can get a wireless meat thermometer so you never overcook the meat again. (Am I the only one scratching my head at this?) You program it to the desired doneness (rare, medium, well done, etc.) and the type of meat it is. The when the meat reaches the right temperature–it’s done. How that works I can’t tell you–but its seller highly recommends it!
Or how about illuminated tongs to turn your meat? After June 22, the days begin getting shorter by about 15 minutes each week. So in theory, by the end of August, you could find yourself grilling in the dusk. That’s okay. These tongs have a built in light so you can see the meat better as you’re turning it.
There’s also a solar power grill that sells for the mere price of $240. We may actually have to look into this one since we cannot actually own a real grill. Then again, I think I did this as a science project once with the kids.
