Designed in the south of France and then manufactured by partner workshops mainly located in China, these accessories prioritise materials known for their robustness and longevity, particularly stainless steel and cast iron. They cater to both outdoor cooking enthusiasts and professionals seeking high-end, durable, and efficient barbecue accessories to make the most of their fire pit, kamado, or charcoal barbecue.

Barbecue cooking utensils

Stainless steel tongs and spatulas

Barbecue tongs and spatulas are among the most essential accessories for cooking over wood or charcoal, as they allow for precise handling of food while maintaining an optimal safety distance from the heat and embers. The different models of tongs cater to various needs: the thin versions facilitate the delicate flipping of vegetables, fish, seafood, or small pieces of meat, while the reinforced models provide an excellent grip for larger cuts, beef ribs, poultry, or intensive handling during prolonged cooking over charcoal. The stainless steel spatula perfectly complements this equipment by ensuring stable and precise flipping of burgers, fish, grilled vegetables, and other preparations seared at high temperatures.

Made from quality stainless steel, these barbecue utensils are particularly suited for use near a charcoal barbecue, a kamado, or a fire pit. Stainless steel effectively withstands high temperatures, does not deform under thermal variations, does not retain odours or fats, and ensures optimal hygiene over time. Easy to clean and often dishwasher safe, the stainless steel tongs and spatulas represent a durable investment for successfully achieving all charcoal cooking with comfort, precision, and safety.

Casseroles, frying pans, and cast iron dishes

Utensils sized for intensive use

The difference between an utensil intended for occasional use and equipment designed to be used all year round is often measured by technical details that are invisible at first glance. The thickness of materials, the quality of assemblies, the robustness of welds, resistance to corrosion, and the availability of replacement parts directly influence the product's lifespan and its true value for money. Professional barbecue utensils are developed to withstand repeated usage cycles, frequent cleaning, exposure to the elements, and particularly demanding cooking conditions, from ignition to high-temperature cooking.

This approach explains why certain equipment is now preferred by restaurateurs, caterers and event professionals who primarily seek reliability, precision and consistency of performance over the long term. It also appeals to outdoor cooking enthusiasts looking to enrich their culinary experience, succeed in all their recipes and benefit from equipment capable of accompanying them year after year. Beyond being a simple accessory, it is about investing in equipment designed to offer sustainable use, optimal comfort and consistent results with every cook.

Grills, planchas and cooking accessories

Cast iron and stainless steel grills

The choice between a cast iron grill and a stainless steel grill mainly depends on the desired result. Cast iron is distinguished by its significant ability to accumulate and then release heat, which promotes the appearance of clear and even markings on meats while enhancing caramelisation. Stainless steel, on the other hand, prioritises ease of maintenance, excellent corrosion resistance and great versatility in daily use. Some charcoal grills allow for easy adjustment of the fuel supply without interrupting cooking, while half-grills offer the possibility to simultaneously manage multiple temperature zones in order to cook different foods on the same surface, with greater precision and control.

Planchas and cooking plates

The reversible cast iron half griddle as well as the griddle dedicated to Japanese barbecues with support and water tray open up new culinary perspectives that are impossible to achieve on a traditional grill. Small-sized foods, delicate fish, sliced vegetables, seafood, or even eggs benefit from a continuous surface that prevents them from falling into the fire. A griddle also allows for more cooking juices to be retained and limits flare-ups caused by fat drippings. The advantage of a reversible surface lies in its ability to adapt to multiple uses: one side can prioritise marking and colouring while the other favours a more even cooking depending on the prepared foods. In the same spirit, the pizza stone is a valued cooking extension for preparing a quick and crispy pizza.

Rotisseries and skewers

The different spit cooking systems allow for particularly even cooking on whole poultry, roasts, legs of lamb, or large pieces intended to be shared. The motorised rotisserie set, the specific rotisserie for the ALTO gas barbecue, Brazilian churrasco swords, the Brazilian grill set, as well as the sets of bars and skewers meet various needs, ranging from family meals to large capacity service. The main advantage of spit cooking lies in the self-basting phenomenon caused by the continuous rotation of the meat, which promotes an even distribution of juices and limits drying out. This method also offers a spectacular visual dimension particularly appreciated during convivial meals.

Smoking, ignition chimney and fuel

Smoking allows for an additional aromatic dimension to many preparations without requiring a dedicated smoker. A smoking box placed on the heat source holds wood chips that produce controlled and gradual smoke, capable of flavouring both red meats and poultry, fish, vegetables, or certain cheeses. Fruity woods like apple or cherry are suitable for white meats and fish due to their mild and delicate smoke, while stronger woods like oak or hickory perfectly complement beef, game, and long cooking.

The choice of fuel also influences the quality of cooking. Argentinian charcoal in a 10 kg bag stands out for its high density, which promotes longer burning, better thermal stability, and lower consumption during long cooking sessions. A chimney starter makes it easier to ignite briquettes and charcoal to quickly obtain embers in 20 minutes. Natural fire starters avoid the use of chemicals during ignition. This consistency allows for better control of temperatures, whether for direct high-heat cooking or indirect cooking over several hours.

Maintenance and protection of accessories

Proper maintenance directly contributes to preserving the performance and lifespan of cooking accessories. After use, it is recommended to perform an initial cleaning while the surfaces are still warm to more easily detach food residues and grease deposits. Once the items have cooled, a complete drying should be carried out to avoid any moisture accumulation. It is also advisable to empty the ashes after each use of the barbecue.

The maintenance of stainless steel remains relatively simple and can generally be carried out with hot water and a mild detergent. This material withstands frequent cleaning and retains its mechanical qualities durably. Cast iron requires more attention. It should be cleaned with a suitable metal brush for grills or cast iron surfaces, dried carefully, and then protected with a fine layer of oil or a protective wax suitable for cooking surfaces. Harsh detergents, as well as prolonged soaking, should be avoided in order to preserve the seasoning. Protective gloves make it easier to handle hot elements throughout these maintenance operations. Finally, during periods of non-use, storing in a dry and ventilated space, complemented by a protective cover, helps to protect the barbecue from the elements and the accessories durably.

Frequently asked questions

What are the essential accessories for barbecuing?

A long tongs, a sturdy spatula, a pair of heat-resistant gloves, a suitable cooking surface, and a cleaning solution form a base of essential accessories to get started. Rotisseries, planchas, or smoking accessories provide more comfort and culinary possibilities, but are not mandatory to begin. Stainless steel tongs and protective gloves remain the first investments to prioritise, as heat-resistant gloves protect against burns while barbecuing.

What should be prepared before a barbecue?

Preparation begins with the choice of fuel and the assessment of the necessary quantity based on the expected cooking time. It is then advisable to prepare the handling utensils to avoid unnecessary movements during cooking and not to need them urgently once the food is on the fire. Finally, it is recommended to select in advance the cooking surface suitable for the foods planned on the menu, whether it is a grill, a plancha, or a casserole.

Which barbecue utensils to choose for regular use?

For frequent use, favour thick stainless steel utensils and tools with a sufficient length to work comfortably over the coals. The quality of the joints and the rigidity of the parts play a crucial role in their durability. Equipment that is too thin will tend to deform over time, while a robust utensil can be kept for many years. The Pro and Fine tongs in stainless steel perfectly meet this logic of sustainable investment.

Stainless steel or cast iron: which material to choose for cooking accessories?

Cast iron is particularly suited for slow cooking, searing meats, and applications requiring high thermal inertia, while the choice between it and stainless steel also depends on the type of cooking desired. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is distinguished by its resistance to corrosion, ease of maintenance, and daily versatility, especially on chrome or stainless steel grills that can be easily cleaned with a suitable brush to preserve their durability. These materials do not actually oppose each other as they cater to different uses and complement each other effectively. It is simply worth noting that cast iron requires seasoning and specific maintenance.

Which accessories to choose for professional use?

Professionals generally prefer the most robust equipment, made of thick material and capable of withstanding intensive use. Formats that allow for working in volume, depending on the number of services to be provided, as well as the availability of spare parts, are also important criteria. Specific support is offered to professionals to select the most suitable equipment for their activity.

How can I tell if an accessory is compatible with my device?

Compatibility generally depends on the cooking diameter for fire pits, the model size for kamados, and the exact reference for gas barbecues. Each product sheet normally specifies the compatible equipment. In case of doubt, customer service can guide you to the appropriate reference.

How to maintain stainless steel utensils and cast iron grills?

Stainless steel utensils can be cleaned using traditional methods and are generally dishwasher safe. Cast iron grills require hot brushing, complete drying, and then the application of a light layer of oil or protective wax. It is not advisable to use harsh detergents or to let cast iron soak for a long time. Regular protection helps to sustainably preserve the seasoning and cooking performance.
