BBQ Gifts for Dad – For the Men Who Like to Flip Burgers and Douse Flames in Ale

Dads can seem like a simple enough breed, but when it comes to sorting out their Father’s Day gifts things can suddenly seem a little complicated. However, there’s something about a barbecue that is so inherently male. We’re not mad keen on stereotypes, but see a bunch of men near a BBQ and women need to back off. This is where the alpha males of modern Britain spar. So let’s give them some decent weaponry.   First up, man meets meat is all very well until you realise your knives aren’t up to the job. Try this awesome Tramontina Serrated Jumbo Steak Knife Set which will slice through even the toughest of steaks as easy as butter. (Warning: nobody likes a tough steak, to avoid a chewy piece of meat follow Chef Neil Rankin’s advice on the perfectly barbecued steak.)   Then there’s the fact that the size of his tools matter, so get him the long-handled Tramontina Barbecue Spatula. Better still, the stainless steel will mean that even if it doesn’t get cleared up until the next day due to overindulgence, thanks to our gifts for beer lovers, it’ll still look good as new. The Tramontina Churrasco Range is inspired by Brazilian barbecue and originates from the pampa region, in Southern Brazil. Last up, and for something that really is the ultimate BBQ gift for Dad, get him a BBQ Smoker Box. To use, fill this smoker box with pre-soaked wood chips and place it below your barbecue's food rack. As it gets hot, it smokes and infuses your meat, poultry, fish and vegetables with distinctive aromas and flavours. You can soak your wood chips in hot water, beer, whiskey, wine, lemon juice and lots more - what you choose to soak them in depends on the flavour you want achieve. Jamie Oliver has a wonderful recipe for BBQ Oak-Smoked Spiced Lamb if you need a little inspiration.  

Gifts for Beer Lovers – For the Men Who Love the Amber Nectar

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and we’re not just talking food. The sweet malty smell of beer on a hot summer’s day will certainly let Dad know you’ve put thought in to his Father’s Day gift.   Make him thankful by giving him a new drinking receptacle to enjoy his favourite tipple: these distinctive IPA foam control glasses are a unique choice, they feature a Foam Control System (FSC), which help to maintain a fine and persistent stream of bubbles to reinvigorate the foamy head. For stout lovers these glasses are perfect, they allow room for a two to three finger head, enhancing the beer’s creaminess. When he’s had one too many and not quite so steady on his feet, these incredible Mighty Beer Mugs will still stay upright, no matter how unsteady on his feet he’s become. If bottles are more his thing, then top of the gifts for beer lovers is this little guy bottle opener keyring. It’s always on hand, sticks to the fridge and your keys, so you can’t lose him. Jimmy will magnetically climb your fridge door to store your keys and also opens bottles while holding onto the top afterwards!

 

Gifts for Chefs – For the Men That Have Everything, and Can Do Everything

If your Dad loves to cook up a storm in the kitchen as well as when it’s BBQ time, then we have some fabulous gifts for chefs. Let your dad channel his inner caveman with these perfect-for-pulled-pork meat shredding claws and give him a copy of BBC Good Food’s recipe for BBQ Pulled Pork; saucy meat, crunchy slaw and a soft sweet brioche bun – he will definitely be a happy camper. Make his legendary cooked breakfasts a cinch with a double grill pan like this one from Judge. He can get his bacon, sausages and eggs all on the go at once. Knives maketh the chef, so kit him out with this stylish and wood-handled masculine set that’s great for slicing, dicing and carving. And don’t forget to give him the coolest way to sharpen them, thanks to the Robert Welch knife sharper. Don’t be harsh and make the poor guy pull his culinary creation out of the oven with Mum’s floral oven gloves: instead give him some stylish oven gloves of his own that not only look great, but do a good job. And because all dads love gadgets, treat him to high tech meat thermometer that will placate his inner gizmo lover and ensure a perfectly cooked joint of roast meat every time – something you will likely benefit from too come the family Sunday Dinner!

Thanks Dad
