Setup

Inspect each tool for any signs of damage. Before first use, it is recommended to wash all tools with warm, soapy water and dry them thoroughly.

Operating Instructions

Chef's Spatula

The chef's spatula features a wide head for easy flipping of burgers and other grilled items. Its serrated edge is useful for cutting or separating food directly on the grill, while the built-in bottle opener provides added convenience.

Grill Tongs

Use the durable stainless steel tongs to securely grip, turn, and serve food. The long handles keep your hands at a safe distance from the heat source.

Digital Temperature Fork

Insert the prongs of the digital temperature fork into the thickest part of your meat to measure its internal temperature. The LED light illuminates the display for easy reading in low-light conditions, and the alarm can be set to alert you when the desired temperature is reached, preventing overcooking.

Silicone Basting Brush

Apply marinades, sauces, or glazes evenly to your food using the silicone basting brush. Silicone bristles are heat-resistant and easy to clean.

Corn Holders

Insert the sharp prongs of the corn holders into each end of a cooked ear of corn for a clean and easy way to enjoy it without getting your hands messy.

Skewers

Thread pieces of meat, vegetables, or fruit onto the stainless steel skewers for grilling kebabs. The flat design helps prevent food from spinning when turning.
