Best New Williams Sonoma Outdoor Cookware Gear
Williams Sonoma Grilling Claws
Williams Sonoma
If you’ve ever taken piping hot grilled chicken, pork, or brisket and attempted to shred or even slice it, you probably fear the torrent of steam and heat that rushes out. It can definitely be scary — and dangerous, too. Having some sharp shredding claws helps you shred your food while it’s still hot and ensures thorough, even shredding. Plus, they’re very fun to use. You can achieve pro-level shredding using this barbecue tool for only $13.
Yeti Rambler Water Bottle with Chug Cap
Williams Sonoma
Yeti completists, bright color lovers, and people who need a new water bottle will agree that this latest release from Yeti is a winner. The bottle, available in 26- and 36-ounce versions, is durable and has double-wall vacuum sealing, so it will keep your precious drinks cold for hours. Check it out in new shades like big sky blue and firefly yellow.
Williams Sonoma Charcoal Chimney
Williams Sonoma
Charcoal chimneys are a fantastic way to start charcoal without lighter fluid or excessive kindling. This stainless steel version has plenty of holes for airflow so your flames can grow, and beechwood handles give it a nice, outdoorsy vibe. It’s perfect for charcoal grills or campfire cooking.
Jeanne Fitz Seafood Shears
Williams Sonoma
Seafood shears are essential when cooking lobster, crab, and shrimp, but this pair is next-level. It has a spring-loaded design for ultimate pressure precision, and serrated metal plates allow you to grip and crack claws all day long. Butter not included.
Williams Sonoma Steam Grill Cleaning Brush
Williams Sonoma
This is an extremely interesting product. Instead of the usual wire brushes and scrapers you use to clean your grill grates, this grill brush uses steam to release and clear caked-on grease and food. Basically, once you finish grilling and turn off the heat source, you dip this sponge in water, and it steams as it scrubs. It seems like a great way to thoroughly free your grill from dried barbecue sauce or your “famous” marinade.
