What dad doesn’t love to fire up his grill, smoke his favorite meats, and host the perfect cookout? This Father’s Day, you can laugh at your dad’s punny jokes a little bit harder, and have a lot less stress on your plate–literally. With a list of helpful Summer grilling tips, the neighborhood dads will be begging to attend your next barbecue.
And even if, like us, you've already celebrated Father's Day earlier this year - don't worry, most of these will still work for any other Summer party you want to host!
Stock up on the essentials:
When deciding what foods to serve at your cookout, be mindful about versatile items. Foods that can be served in different styles can save you an extra dime. A few inexpensive fan favorites include:
- chicken breasts
- fruit salad
- pasta
- chips and pretzels
Grill away from others and structures:
Gas and charcoal grills are all designed for outdoor use only. Make sure you are at least 10 feet away from others, your home, or any flammable structures. Here are a few safety tips on how to protect your home and loved ones from accidents or grill fires:
- Grill safety tip 1: ensure that children and pets are far away from the grill
- Grill safety tip 2: take proper ignition protocols and precautions to avoid dangerous gas build up
- Grill safety tip 3: check the stability of your grill before placing any food on the top
Provide outdoor fun:
Entertaining your guests is the best part of being a good cookout host. Have a few games for everyone to enjoy and play with. It is most important that the kids stay entertained so they won’t be interested in the grill. Here are a few that both kids and adults will enjoy:
- hide-and-seek
- giant Jenga
- bottle bowling
- charades
