Grill tools are usually divided into two sections: the implement and the handle. The implement portion of the grilling tool is the section that goes into the hottest part of the fire to serve and move the food around. Metals such as stainless steel are the most common material for the implement portion of the tool. Metal is durable and heat-resistant, making your grill tool reliable for a near-endless number of barbecues.
Handles are most often made of long-lasting and sturdy materials such as metal or wood. Metal handles conduct heat exceptionally well, so you might want to wear an oven mitt while you turn your hot dogs and kabobs. Wood-handled grill tools don't conduct heat as well as metal does, so they won’t get as hot while you flip burgers and turn over steaks. Grill tools with silicone-coated handles stand up splendidly to fire and cool down quickly when working the grill.
