• simplify the cooking process;
• make it easier to light a fire;
• designed for ready-made food.

When choosing these kits, the following recommendations should be taken into account:

• it is important to determine the purpose of the purchase and the frequency of use - if you are a professional, then give preference to reliability; if this is a gift option, then choose an unusual design of accessories;
• as a rule, sets are offered in packaging: a case, a suitcase, a case, which is appropriate and practical; each tool has its place (nothing gets mixed up, nothing gets lost, you don’t have to look for the required thing when you cook);
• since dishes are cooked on a fire with charcoal, the spatulas and forks should be long-handled so as not to heat up; in addition, the material from which they are made must be heat-resistant; low-quality metal will quickly turn black and deform;
• you should not buy a kit in which there are too many tools; for barbecue on the grill, 3-4 accessories will be enough;
• barbecue attributes are not the cheapest - you will save money if you buy one set, which will contain everything, rather than overpay for each separate tool;
• pay attention to what material the items of the set are made of - all metal elements must be made of high-quality stainless steel, such during use will not rust or become stained; plastic, silicone or wood parts must be made from safe, non-toxic raw materials;
• ergonomics - a barbecue set should be easy to use so that you can get more pleasure from the cooking process;
• barbecue, grill and barbecue equipment should be easily cleaned from dirt.

By purchasing a new picnic set, everyone is counting on many years of hassle-free use of the equipment. The beautiful and shiny appearance of the novelty only pleases. The first application evokes extremely positive emotions, and the desire to cook even more delicious dishes. In order for the barbecue set to retain its impeccable properties, it must be looked after following such basic rules of care and storage as:

• store such tools in a dry place, as a rule, they are sold in leather or textile cases, metal cases and suitcases;
• keep grilling utensils with wooden handles, oven mitts and apron away from open flames;
• during cooking, do not touch the metal parts of the spatula, fork, tongs, as the grill gets very hot during cooking;
• during washing, do not leave metal and wooden objects in water for a long time, as this will significantly reduce their service life;
• after each use, be sure to wash each element - it is enough to rinse with warm water using a liquid detergent;
• under no circumstances use metal brushes to avoid damaging the top layer of the product.

Cooking is a real art that cannot be rushed. The whole process is very exciting and addictive, so all family members can be involved in it. Of course, we all can't wait to taste freshly fried meat or fish just taken from the fire. The used set for the barbecue will make all stages safe and truly enjoyable. The following little tricks are worth taking note of:

• when frying food, keep a bottle of water next to you to extinguish the unexpectedly appeared flame;
• do not shake off excess marinade over the fire, because of this it may ignite;
• if you use a classic charcoal grill, wait until they burn out - you can fry in 30-60 minutes, in the case of gas barbecues - after 15 minutes;
• do not string the meat tightly on a skewer, as it should be fried and not steamed; the same principle applies to the grill grate;
• when using wooden skewers, first moisten them with water so that they do not burn out;
• when frying meat products on the grill, do not be surprised if they stick to the surface almost immediately; wait until a crust forms, after which you can safely turn them over.
