Credit: Food & Wine / Getty Images Grilling season is upon us, and I’ve been searching for a new grill brush to help me keep things neat and tidy. As I’ve been researching recently, I’ve noticed something interesting, though slightly unsettling: Home cooks are starting to turn away from wired, bristled brushes, because people have been finding metal debris from brushes in their food.

Credit: Food & Wine I’ve been making pizza for over 15 years. In my younger days, I worked in a restaurant that had a wood-fired pizza oven, and during the pandemic, I made pizza in my apartment’s oven multiple times a week. I even bought one of the earliest outdoor pizza ovens before they became super popular, and I’ve tested out several top models from brands like Gozney and Ooni in the past few years.

Credit: Food & Wine / Williams Sonoma I’ve been grilling for over 20 years. Charcoal grills, gas grills, griddles over fire pits, even indoor grill pans — if it’s high-heat and you can cook over it, I’ve probably used it. I even ran an indoor flat-top grill back in my restaurant days. And you know what I’ve learned from all of that grilling? It’s not easy. Well, let me clarify.

Families pass single pieces down through generations, while passionate collectors hoard dozens or even hundreds. Le Creuset’s allure goes beyond the excellence and high quality of its Dutch ovens, cast iron skillets, and pasta bowls — its pieces are also visually stunning.

What restaurants don’t want you to know, however, is that if you stock up on the right gear (and much of it is surprisingly affordable), you can achieve restaurant-quality results in your own kitchen.

Think for a second: What would you do if you were grilling burgers in the backyard or searing a tasty steak on the stove and a fire got out of control? Extinguishing a grease fire by throwing water on it is the worst thing you can do — it can make the flames spread in the blink of an eye.
