“For the novice, I would recommend gifting a box of mixed cuts of superior and sustainable beef to experiment with textures, flavors, cutting, and carving,” says Chef DuVal Warner of Ranch 45 in San Diego, California. This sampler box comes with a range of Brandt’s all-natural, hormone- and antibiotic-free meats, including three different steaks, ground beef, bacon, hot dogs, and beef jerky.

Made with stainless steel, these dishwasher-safe skewers are an upgraded alternative to their wooden counterparts. “I hate using wooden skewers!” says Chef Robyn Henderson of Robyn’s Kitchen. “You throw them in the garbage and they tear holes in your garbage bags, plus you have to soak them before which takes time. Metal skewers are awesome, not only because they can be reused but they conduct heat well and can help heat the food from the inside.”
Reviewers also note these specific skewers are a great length for smaller kabobs and yakitori, hold food well without slippage, and are easy to maneuver and clean.

For an eco-friendly alternative to plastic cutting boards, San Francisco cooking instructor and creator of FOOD LA LA Lindsay Kinder recommends these wooden ones. Along with this smaller version that’s great for preparing veggies for the grill, the company also has larger styles specifically designed to hold meat.
“Get one big one, or a few smaller ones of the same size,” Kinder suggests. “And remember, always put a wet paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from slipping while you chop!”

My uncle is our family’s resident gadget-obsessed grill master, and he always prepares meat with the Meater. The Bluetooth-enabled probe connects to an app that can walk you through the cooking process and recommend how long your meat needs to cook and rest.
Warner is also a fan of this meat thermometer, mentioning that it makes an especially great gift for experienced enthusiasts. “Smart meat probes allow the cook to accurately monitor the cooking process without piercing the flesh of the protein,” he says. “The multiple probes pack gives the griller the ability to cook to multiple temperatures.”
