Summer can be symbolised by longer evenings, flip flops and the aroma of chargrilled food! To celebrate National BBQ week and the approach of summer, we have complied a list of top BBQ tools, ideal for making this summer a yummy one.
Whether the sun is shining or the heavens have opened, be sure to get the BBQ out, cooking a delicious feast that everyone will remember. For many, being BBQ ready may not seem important, but by making sure your tools are up for the job before the big day, you too can avoid any unnecessary embarrassment.
Be on trend
The apron you choose to wear when cooking says a lot about who you are and what type of chef you want to be. When cooking choose an apron that will demand respect and authority when in the kitchen. Choose for either the Dexam denim apron with the matching gauntlet. Tough and durable, this apron is ideal for hot afternoons sweating over a hot BBQ. Perhaps you would rather prefer the Rushbrookes Slate Grey apron, a traditional apron favoured by butchers and professional chefs since 1837. Coming in a range colours, choose a colour most suited to your personality.
Easy flipping
When on the BBQ, you want to be confident that you have the finest tools available. Whether you are turning sausages or flipping the burgers, make sure that you have all the tools needed for creating delicious results. Making sure that they can withstand the heat is a top priority along with comfort when held.
From Stainless Steel to a smooth walnut turner, Dexam has a turner to meet all budgets. If you like the effect that wood creates to a dining table, we recommend investing in the premium beech and acacia 7-piece utensil set. The set includes serving tongs, pasta spoon, turner and a serving fork and spoon.
Homemade Burgers
Exceed all expectations this summer and get making your own homemade burgers. Easy to create, have a memorable summer, personalising each burger with different flavours that your guests 
will enjoy. For those wanting to get their hands dirty and have a go at burger making, use the Dexam single 11cm metal burger press.

Get mincing
Burgers maybe in big demand on the BBQ, but so are sausages of all flavours and styles. From the chipolata to the Cumberland, apple sausages to sausages drizzled with honey. For those who are keen to improve their skills when in the kitchen, how about learning how to make homemade bangers this summer? With the Dexam Meat Mincer and Sausage Maker, you can mince your meat of choice before placing the sausage making attachment to create your own homemade sausage!
Lets grill!

chargrill their courgette or get cooking their steak, there is only one tool for the job, the Chasseur Cast Iron Grill Pan in Provence blue! A ray of sunshine, this cast iron grill is ideal for all your cooking needs. With no need to use oil, using the grill pan is a healthier alternative when cooking your favourite dishes.
Spiral that salad
Summer sees the rise of salad consumption! But for those who aren’t tempted to indulge in a large bowl of salad on a hot summers day, be motivated, improving the appearance of your dish with a trust spiralizer. By spirilizing vegetables, you can create excitement and create a range of different textures and tones to excite even the fussiest of eaters. Our Dexam Spiralizer comes with 3 different vegetable blades and is available for an unbelievable £15.00!
Handle the cob
Corn on the cob, a classic and must have in attendance at any BBQ or summer picnic! While many of us many love the corn in the cob, others will dread its appearance, due to the difficulty that they experience when snacking on this vegetable. Say goodbye to brunt fingers and dripping butter and use the Dexam Set of 8 Corn on the Cob Holders.
