Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) Cast Iron Grill Press
A cast iron grill press lends a heavy-duty hand out on the grill or when you’re cooking on the stove. It works to squeeze out extra fat and flatten foods like burgers, bacon, and steaks for faster cooking, or you can use it to grill sandwiches panini-style.

4) End Grain Double Cheese Board
Serve to impress. From log to glossy, end grain cheese board—it’s all harvested and assembled locally in a small Nova Scotia mill. They cut the Larch wood to expose its intricate patterns and gradients. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the flexible end grain will self-cleanse and self-heal after you cut. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom cutting board will last you a lifetime.
5) BBQ Rib Skinner
This BBQ rib skinner gets to the meat of the matter. Crafted from sturdy steel with precise jaws and a non-slip grip, it easily removes membranes from pork and beef in one stroke. Without that extra fatty layer, seasoning can reach meat directly for a meal with more tasty tenderness.
