If summer’s heating up, it must be grilling season. And if you don’t have your summer grilling essentials all set, you best get on it now. There’s still plenty of time to hit up a backyard barbeque or a poolside shindig, particularly if you’re all set with other style essentials like a sharp, casual watch or a pair of stylish sunglasses. And who better to hook you up with all of your summer grilling essentials than the fine folks at Huckberry? They’ve got pieces you need for every season, and the efficient, effective and well-designed gear you see below is no different.

The Masterpan is everything you could ask for when it comes to summer grilling, namely when it comes to preparing and storing ingredients ahead of time in the kitchen. You can fit and cook five ingredients at once, from sauteed onions to vegetables, and it’s also very handy when it comes to storage; plus, it’s lightweight and oven-safe.

Here's how to really cook like a mountain man
Chef Eduardo Garcia.

Today's mountain man is personified by chef Eduardo Garcia, who combines culinary expertise and the right cooking tools with an adventurous attitude and focus on the environment.

Garcia has put in some shifts. He's done everything from cooking on yachts to delivering motivational speeches. He's also the host of Big Sky Kitchen, now two seasons deep. The show focuses on outdoor cooking and the many joys of preparing and eating food in the context of nature.

Here’s how to crawfish boil the right way (and everything else there is to know about crawfish)
Crawfish is a Southern staple and in season right now. Here's how to properly prepare this seafood
A southern Crawfish plate

Crawfish, crayfish, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, yabbies, or mudbugs -- whatever you call them, one thing remains the same: They're delicious. That is; when they're prepared correctly. If you live above the Mason-Dixon line, you may not have heard of any of these cousins to the lobster, and that's totally normal. Crawfish are everywhere, but the vast majority of the world's eating crayfish come from Louisiana (around 95%).

The end of March to early June is prime crayfish season (when they grow to be the largest). That's why crawfish boils are common around the middle of spring to early summer. Despite being at their largest around this time, they're still pretty small. A jumbo crayfish will provide about as much meat as an average-sized shrimp. So, after you learn how to eat crawfish, you're going to need to eat a lot -- we suggest around 3 to 5 pounds per person. This seems like a ton, but you have to remember that these little buggers are mostly shell. And the secret of a good crawfish boil is to not overcook them, or the meat becomes tough.
