Forget disposable grills, cheap pickled neck steaks and discount store charcoal. Grilling is pleasure. So that you can celebrate the next barbecue event in the garden, on the terrace or on the go, you should know the 2021 roasting trends.
The Barbecue season is opened. In parks and allotment gardens, on terraces and balconies, millions of Germans are already sizzling like world champions. Many very classic: grilled sausages, marinated steaks, baby corn. But more and more barbecue fans are keen on culinary experiments. With the right gadgets, juicy, smoky and tender meat and fish delicacies can be conjured up. You should not miss the following barbecue trends for 2022.
1. Fennek Grill light (incl. bag)
Not everyone can or wants to buy an opulent gas or charcoal grill. For everyone who likes to throw on the grill and often on the go, something handy for the backpack is needed. And something different than the three-legged disposable grill from the discounter around the corner. The pluggable charcoal grill from Fennek is mobile and stylish at the same time. Eight dishwasher-safe pieces plus pouch. Pack size not much larger than a tablet. The stainless steel grill to go weighs just over two kilograms. Fennek also supplies the right Pils. Here’s the Fennek Original Grill to go.
Grill lighters, charcoal, food to be grilled and of course the grill fit into the Fennek backpack (model 2021).
2. Salt Stone (Salt Plank)
Not brand new, but also a barbecue trend this summer. The grilled food does not end up on the grate as usual, but on a block of salt. This consists of extremely compacted salt crystals, which not only absorb and store heat well. They also dissipate the heat very well. Only a fine note of the salt itself gets into the grilled food. These salt planks are especially recommended for fish and seafood. However, steaks and fillets also cook on the antibacterial surface. A salt stone from grillart is available here.
3. Meat Claws (Pulled Pork Claws)
Also pulled pork and other “plucked” meat are no longer an insider tip. When it comes to grilling, however, not too many dare to import barbecues from North America. There, alongside spare ribs and beef brisket, it is part of the “holy trinity of grilling”. And for the holy moment, cutting up the grilled meat (e.g. pork shoulder), you need either two forks or: so-called meat claws (also called pulled pork claws). True to the motto: Pure meat! Here’s a pair of stainless steel meat claws from Rösle.
4. Frying syringe
Everyone is talking about vaccinations for well-known reasons. And nothing else you do with a roasting syringe. However, the meat is pricked here and refined from the inside, for example with a delicious marinade. If done correctly, this not only takes the taste but also the consistency of the meat to a new level. The roasting syringe is particularly suitable for poultry. For example, it is an essential part of the stuffing of the turkey at Thanksgiving in the USA. But even grilled meat can be pimped and made juicier with a little skill. Here’s a roasting syringe from Best Utensils.
5. Cedar wood boards
A few years ago, the Grillmaster would have garnered astonished looks. Meanwhile, indirect grilling with the help of cedar wood boards is almost “en vogue” and a popular alternative to traditional grilling directly on the grate. The wooden planks are first placed in water for two hours so that they can soak up water, don’t burn and can also be used at the next barbecue event. Then the soaked boards and the food to be grilled go straight into the heat. Only when it is steaming and crackling do you pull the fish or meat board out of the heat and into the indirect area. Here’s the set of 3 Red Cedar Wood Planks by SJ.
6. Fire plate (BBQ disk)
Heavy artillery will be rolled out at the next barbecue trend in 2021. It involves cast iron rings, also known as BBQ disks in the grilling community. The fire plates are round and have a hole in the middle. It is grilled on kettle grills or round fire bowls that are suitable for grilling. The idea: the grilled meat lands on the cast-iron outer ring, while the charcoal and embers remain visible through the hole in the middle. This looks chic and has another nice side effect. The Grillmaster does not necessarily have to stand alone by the fire. There is space for several grillers who can lay out their delicacies and grill them themselves. This WiMi fire plate weighs almost 17 kilograms.
7. Smoker box with wood chips
This barbecue trend has also spilled over the pond to us in Europe. Like the cedar boards, the wood chips, whether cherry, oak or maple, should first be soaked for at least 15 minutes. After that comes the smoker box in the game. Because that’s where they end up wood chips. Close the flap and drop onto the grate. The chips will glow after about 20 minutes and the smoke can unfold. This simple way of refining grilled food with a smoke aroma works with both gas and charcoal grills. With kettle grills, the lid should be closed so that the smoke does not disperse to the winds.
