Grill Spatulas Are BBQ Essentials
No matter what you put on the grill, odds are good that it's going to need to be flipped, turned or otherwise repositioned, which is why the grill spatula is perhaps the most important tool in any grillmaster's toolkit. A sturdy, long-handled grill spatula will allow you to keep your hands a safe distance from the heat as you move food around on the grill, ensuring that your meat and seafood get evenly cooked.
The Details
While there are plenty of versatile grill spatulas available, you may want to consider what type of foods you grill most often before choosing the option that's best for you. If you prefer substantial cuts of meat, you'll want a wide, sturdy spatula that can handle the weight of the heftiest steaks. If you primarily grill more delicate fare like fish filets, you should look for a thin, flexible grill spatula that will lift the food without tearing it.
