There are few things that beat the feeling of outdoor cooking in the warm summer months, especially when it happens over an open flame. Whether you're in the garden, on the beach or in the middle of the forest, there's something truly special about the smell of smoke and the fresh air.
And with the right equipment, it's not just stick bread you can prepare over the flames, but everything from breakfast to delicious steaks or burgers for the whole family.
1. Griddle
With a griddle in carbon steel, you get an incredibly versatile kitchen tool that you can use on the stove, grills or yes, over an open flame.
The high heat tolerance makes the griddle perfect for the bonfire. And with the large cooking surface, you can cook large quantities of food at once!
Worried about starting an oil fire?
With the griddle's high edges, it's designed to keep both your food and fat within the cooking surface.
7 reasons why you should have a griddle
2. Fire Stand
When you're cooking over a campfire, it's incredibly important that you can control the temperature.
That's why a Fire Stand is essential, so you can easily mount your griddle over the flames and keep the temperature even.
You can take your fire stand with you anywhere, and it's easy to set up over the fire.
A fire stand is therefore an essential addition to the griddle if you want to cook over a campfire.
3. Smasher
Smash burgers, sandwiches with crispy crust or bacon?
Almost regardless of what you want to give a crispy crust, you need a Smasher when cooking over a bonfire.
The smasher ensures that your food gets maximum contact with the cooking surface.
The stainless steel construction can withstand up to 450 degrees - perfect for use over an open flame.
The handle is elevated in a way that gives you the best combination of force transfer and good distance from the heat source.
4. Food Tweezers
When cooking over a bonfire, you'll of course also need a tool to flip your food with.
Here it's very important that you choose Food Tweezers made of a material that can withstand high temperatures - so it doesn't melt.
5. Cutting board (+ a sharp knife)
It probably won't come as a big surprise to you that you need these two things when cooking over a bonfire.
But they still deserve a place on this list.
We recommend using a large cutting board with space for many ingredients.
In addition, you'll of course need a sharp knife to prepare your ingredients. This should ideally be a versatile knife that you can use for all your cutting and chopping tasks.
