OK, so the weather isn’t quite bearing out as far as the sunnier season, but we are indeed well into Spring now, so warmer weather is on the way. That means it’s time to start cooking up some plans for barbecue season! And if you’ve already got one or two ideas in the oven, you’re in exactly the right place. At Butchers Equipment Warehouse, we’ve got a comprehensive range of tools and equipment to help you prepare your summer food to perfection. Here are some of our top picks for summer!

Burger presses

The classic burger is, in many ways, the very essence of summer food for countless people, and rightly so. Understandably then, burger presses are indispensable tools for both cooks and butchers during the summer months.

For cooks, these presses streamline the burger-making process, ensuring uniform cuts that cook evenly on the grill, a quintessential summer activity. The consistent pressure of each press helps to create burgers of the same thickness, preventing uneven cooking and ensuring a perfect bite every time. Burger presses are also useful in helping people to experiment with various ingredients and flavours, such as cheese-stuffed or veggie-packed burgers. (Just a couple of ideas!) Equally, for butchers, burger presses expedite burger production, helping to meet the increased demand during peak summer grilling season, while maintaining quality and consistency throughout.

Sausage fillers

Whether you’re switching on the radio or you’re taking food off the grill, there are few greater satisfactions in life than hearing people say: “ah now, that’s a proper banger.” Sausage fillers are great for casual cooks, enabling the creation of homemade sausages with precise control over ingredients and casing, catering to individual tastes and dietary preferences. Whether cooking up the classics, or experimenting with unique flavour combinations, if you’re a casual cook then a sausage filler is a brilliant way to elevate your summer culinary creations.

If you’re a butcher on the other hand, and productivity and efficiency are the names of your game, you can also benefit from these fillers by efficiently stuffing casings, maintaining quality and consistency in your artisanal sausage products. With sausage fillers, both cooks and butchers can unleash their creativity and craftsmanship, adding a delicious touch to summer gatherings and barbecues.

Skewers

Ready to make a point? We supply a wide range of skewers here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse, helping to provide endless possibilities for grilling meats, vegetables, and fruits, so you can create flavourful kebabs and shish kebabs that are perfect for summer barbecues. Skewers facilitate easy handling and flipping of foods on the grill, preventing small pieces from slipping through the grates and ensuring even cooking. What’s more, skewers are great for presenting food in an attractive way, making them a natural choice for serving appetisers and canapés at summer gatherings.

Equally, if you’re a butcher thinking about the best ways to showcase your products, skewers provide all sorts of opportunities – whether you’re skewering marinated meats for display or offering pre-skewered kebab options for customers. With their versatility and convenience, skewers are must-have tools for enhancing summer cooking experiences both at home and in professional kitchens.

Those are just a couple of our most popular options here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse – and we’ve got plenty more besides! All of our offerings are designed with state-of-the-art production technology, and of course all available at the very best prices. You can explore our extensive range of butchers knives, butchers accessories and butchers machinery right here on our site. Need some help?
