Flashlight Grill Tongs

Barbecuing in the Dark is No Longer an Issue with These Clever Utensils

— April 28, 2013 — Lifestyle
Barbecuing in the dark is no longer an issue with these clever flashlight grill tongs. It isn't always possible to barbecue when the sun is still up, as often people are stuck cooking in the dark. These grill tongs will solve any issues that you may have had before. With this amazing new cooking utensil you can ensure that all of your favorite meats are cooked to perfection, whether it be in the dark or for regular use.

Designed by professional barbecuer Steven Raichlen, these grill tongs have a specially designed removable flashlight. The tongs lock closed and are easy to store, and are 20 inches long to avoid accidents with hot grills. They are also made out of solid steel that is built to last.
Trend Themes
1. Outdoor Cooking Accessories with Built-in Lights - There is an opportunity for companies to create innovative outdoor cooking accessories that incorporate lighting to solve the common issue of barbecuing in the dark.
2. 2-in-1 Kitchen Tools - Incorporating multiple functions into one kitchen tool, such as the removable flashlight in the grill tongs, provides a unique selling point and increases convenience for consumers.
3. Technology-enhanced Utensils - As technology continues to evolve, there is potential for companies to create kitchen utensils with added technology features, such as removable flashlights or built-in temperature sensors.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Cooking Supplies - Companies in this industry can differentiate their products by incorporating lighting features to solve the issue of barbecuing in the dark.
2. Kitchen Utensils and Tools Manufacturing - Incorporating multiple functions into kitchen tools, such as the removable flashlight in the grill tongs, could differentiate products and lead to innovative developments in this industry.
3. Technology Manufacturing - The trend of technology-enhanced utensils creates potential opportunities for companies in the technology manufacturing industry to collaborate with kitchen utensil manufacturers and incorporate technology features into their products.
