Grill like a mother! While grilling gear might not be the first thing that comes to mind as gift ideas for the moms and mom-like figures in our lives, “manning the grill” is not a task reserved only for men. Over the last ten years, women have maintained a steady interest in grilling, whether it be for the creativity, the convenience, or simply the excitement that you can’t quite get from cooking in an oven. Ditch the boring bouquet of flowers this year and check out this list of gift ideas for Mother’s Day for the mom who loves to grill.
Weber GENESIS EPX-335
The Weber Genesis EPX-335 is a gas-fired, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-enabled, patio-dominating centerpiece—basically one of the best smart gas grills you can get Mom. Some people are “wandering cooks” moving from the grill to the kitchen for more slices of cheese or to grab that extra marinade sauce, so even if she’s not standing directly in front of the grill. All the neighbors will be jealous, so you’d better invite them over for dinner. You can roast, bake, steam, or even stir-fry inspiring food you never thought possible on the grill just by replacing the cooking grate, and thanks to the “night vision” LED lighting, the Genesis EPX-335 creates a full backyard culinary experience.
Butcher’s Choice Steaks
Make Mom happy with a one-of-a-kind present that she’ll be incredibly grateful for– and one that she’ll actually use! The Butcher’s Choice Filet Mignon Gift Box consists of the very same steaks that butchers would take home to enjoy with their families; each one is hand-selected, and hand carved to ensure you get the best cut possible, and then wet-aged for a minimum of 28 days to intensify its naturally delicious flavor. Meat gift sets are the perfect way to tell the meat lover in your life how much they mean to you because you’ll be giving them something they absolutely love from one of the most popular and trusted names in the business.
Looftlighter X Lighter & Firestarter
Lighting charcoal should be a headache-free process. The Looftlighter X is a battery-powered, portable fire starter about the size of a small leaf blower. It uses a fan to superheat the air near your charcoal, helping it catch fire quickly and easily. While it might seem like a niche item, it’s the kind of tool that solves a specific problem quickly and effectively. It works well and will save about 15-25 minutes of fussing with other methods. With no chemicals or gasses, there’s no smell to using Looftlighter X; and there are no dangerous lighter fluids to deal with!
Drip EZ BBQ Prep Tub
Let’s face it, Mom is probably the organizing queen, from the kitchen cabinets to the bathroom closet shelves. This multipurpose accessory will certainly come in handy for prepping food. When fully extended, the outside dimensions are about 20.5 by 16 inches, the inside is about 16 by 14.5 by 5.5 inches so it’s got a good capacity; large enough to prep a pork butt because it offers a place to work and shake rub on. The tub opens to three levels: full depth, mid depth, and if pushed it all the way down it becomes a cutting board with built in juice channels. When collapsed, it can conveniently be stored out of the way.
Cast Iron Oyster Pan
Most Mothers love the opportunity to prepare something out of the ordinary for her guests. Burgers and hot dogs are great for a backyard cookout but consider changing the status quo by introducing mollusks to the mix! This non-stick oyster pan is the perfect vessel for sizzling seafood BBQ. It holds up to 12 oysters and keeps the juices from spilling into the grill. The cast iron retains heat and distributes heat evenly and the special coating keeps food from sticking.
