Hot Off the Presses

Create the perfect patty with Sur La Table’s 3-in-1 adjustable burger press. This handy gadget makes classic, slider and stuffed variations, and every burger will be a consistent size, shape and weight, $29.95. And don’t forget about a grill press to distribute heat evenly. Sur la Table’s cast iron grill press is crafted with a raised grill pattern for those cool grill marks, plus a stay-cool hardwood handle. It works on the grill and in a skillet, $12.95, Sur La Table, 22 N. Lemon Ave., Sarasota, (941) 365-0380, surlatable.com

Keep it Chill

The Corkcicle stemless wine cup keeps cold and hot beverages—wine, cocktails or tea—at the right temperature for hours. Bonus perks: It has a slip-proof silicone bottom, a sliding lid that is spill proof, and easy grip sides. $25 at Write-On, 1423 First St., Sarasota, (941) 953-2800, writeonsarasota.com

Smoke ’Em

Looking to smoke some of your best-ever backyard barbecue? Try the versatile Big Green Egg. The outdoor ceramic kamado-style charcoal grill can be used as a grill, an oven and a smoker. $875 for the large Big Green Egg (other sizes available and prices vary) at The Butcher’s Block, 3242 17th St., (941) 955-2822, butchersblocksarasota.com
