My Dad
makes the best-grilled hot dogs!
Well, my Dad makes the
juiciest hamburgers.
So, my
Dad can make BBQ Chicken that tastes great!
Well, my Dad grills the best
kabobs I have ever tasted.
OK. Beat
this. My Dad can grill steak with seasonings; fry French fries in a fryer, and
toss a salad all at the same time!!
From
this conversation it appears that Moms aren't the only ones in the kitchen. Have
you noticed your Father spending more time at the grill, in front of the stove
or washing vegetables in the sink? Men are starting to create their own domain
and style when it comes to serving up meals for the family. Preparing supper has
become more of a family affair and children are learning the ins and outs of
food preparation from both parents. This is a great for the future of cooking.
No longer will children be asking for Mom’s special casserole, but they will
also be asking for Dad’s great chicken stir-fry!
Because
of the increased role of Dad working in the kitchen, meals will probably take on
some different flavor. Men have a need to be precise and to try new projects. So
the kitchen may become a place for new creations or new appliances. If this is
the case, welcome the new ideas and everyone will benefit.
To help
your Dad become the best cook in the neighborhood, he may need some new
equipment such as a great
knife for
dicing, and one
for slicing.
He might also like a
fork or
poultry lifters
when roasting turkey or ham. Dad will love to have nice sharp knives to cut meat
and vegetables. He can also create perfectly shaped meatballs with his
mini meat
baller. Anything that speeds up preparation is a great item to have in the
kitchen. He will also want to try the
French fry
express to make some healthy spiced up fries to bake in the oven.
Jerky
has great appeal. Make your Dad the “Jerky Meister” with equipment and
seasonings to use at home. If he likes to hunt, the
Jerky Master
is a great piece of equipment to use for venison and turkey. With a
meat grinder
and seasonings,
Dad can have his favorite healthy snack!
And for
the Dad that does it all – the meat on the grill, the potatoes in the oven, the
vegetables on the stove and tossing the salad too – a
remote meat
thermometer can keep track of the steak and alert him when it reaches medium
rare! Electronics have come to the kitchen and a
Multitask
Digital Timer keeps track of it all!
It is
also good to let Dad know he much he is appreciated and all the delicious food
he is creating! Recognize him this Father’s Day in a fun way present him with
his own Chef’s
hat. Who knows, maybe a second career is waiting?
