Every year it’s the same ol’ thing for Father’s Day, tube socks and grill accessories. If you’re not quite sure what to get dear old dad this Father’s Day, we’ve got you covered. We’ll spare you the tube sock shopping, however, these could be on the grilling list for Dad this year:
KitchenStar 16-Inch Pizza Cutter Blade
Let’s face it, if dad loves to make homemade pizza, then treat him to a better pizza cutter. Unless he’s someone set in his ways, those old-school rolling pizza cutters suck. They’re a pain in the butt to clean, they’re equally as painful to sharpen, and let’s face it, there’s flat-out an easier way to cut pizza. With a blade such as this, 3 or 4 quick cuts, and pizza is ready without having to roll over it multiple times. With a single, stationary blade, it’ll be easier to cut and easier to clean.
Cuisinart Grill Top Pizza Oven
If dad loves to grill and you can’t afford the $500+ pizza ovens that are out there, maybe keeping it simple is the way to go. This add-on turns your traditional grill into a pizza oven out of the box. Just set it on top of the grill and it’ll heat up like a pizza oven and have a temperature gauge right on top to really dial in pizza perfection. No need to buy a pizza peel as it comes with one included.
Hulisen Stainless Steel Burger Press
Smash burgers are rising in popularity and the right burger press is clutch. I’ve tried a few different ones and so many get it wrong. Between the preformed burger presses to the ones with a little lip on them, it can easily derail a smash burger. With this burger press, however, I should avoid my previous mistakes. You should get Dad one that allows a good amount of pressure while simultaneously pressing down as flat as he’d like. He’ll more than likely crack that bad boy open while grilling the Father’s Day BBQ.
Quaker Steak And Lube Wing Sauce Variety Pack
Who doesn’t love a good wing sauce? Gone are the days of Quaker Steak and Lube in my area but the wing sauces stuck with me. These 4 are probably their most popular flavors from a Buffalo Wild Wings alternative. Honestly, I was never a huge fan of the BWW flavor palate so these were a welcomed refresh. They offer more flavors and even a few dry rubs but these three were always in the rotation on All You Can Eat Wing Night.
Father’s Day is just around the corner and these few items could set you up with a great meal from your grill master. When in doubt, a good bourbon could be a last-minute save.
