Hello everyone — happy Wednesday! If you were still deciding what to get Dad for Father’s Day, Crisco wanted to make shopping easier and help Dad make the most of grilling season. To celebrate, Crisco offered one Picky Palate reader a collection of grilling tools and kitchen essentials to kick off outdoor cooking with confidence.
This giveaway package brought together practical, well-chosen items that complement summer grilling and backyard barbecues. The featured prizes included:
- Coleman RoadTrip LE Grill — a portable grill that’s convenient for tailgating, camping, and backyard use (retails close to $200).
- Crisco Original No Stick Cooking Spray — a kitchen staple for grilling and pan use.
- Crisco Olive Oil Spray — a light spray ideal for greasing grill grates and preparing vegetables.
- Crisco Butter Flavor No Stick Cooking Spray — adds a buttery flavor without the mess.
- Crisco Re-Usable Shopping Bag — a handy bag for grocery runs and farmers’ market trips.
- Crisco Grilling Tongs — designed for safe, easy handling of meats and vegetables on the grill.
- Crisco Hot Pad — protects hands and surfaces when working with hot tools and pans.
- Crisco Basting Brush — perfect for glazing and finishing grilled foods.
If you need inspiration for what to cook on the grill, Crisco added new how-to video tutorials and recipes to their site. Two of the featured grilling recipes at the time were Grilled Beef and Vegetable Kabobs and Barbecued Chicken with Grilled Asparagus. These tutorials were intended to help any home cook elevate simple ingredients into satisfying summer meals.
Beyond the giveaway, Crisco also ran a consumer promotion offering those who upload a cooking chronicle on their site a chance to win a basket of Crisco products and $500 for kitchen supplies. That kind of promotion encourages cooks to try new techniques and share results, which can be helpful when experimenting with marinades, indirect heat, or vegetable grilling.
Here’s How To Enter:
- Leave a comment on the post telling us, “What is the best thing your dad cooks on the grill?” Be specific or keep it short — we’d love to hear about your family favorites.
- For four additional entries, follow Picky Palate on Twitter, Google Reader, “Like” Picky Palate on Facebook, and subscribe to the RSS feed. Leave four separate comments indicating each of these extra entries.
- The contest ended Saturday, June 12th at 8am PST. The winner was chosen by Random.org and notified by email. Giveaway provided by Crisco.
Whether you’re shopping for Father’s Day or simply refreshing your grilling gear, small, well-selected tools can make a big difference. A reliable portable grill like the Coleman RoadTrip LE gives flexibility for outdoor meals anywhere, while nonstick and oil sprays help prevent sticking and reduce cleanup. A good set of tongs and a basting brush make turning and finishing foods easier, and a hot pad helps keep hands and counters safe when moving hot items off the grill.
If you missed this particular giveaway, keep an eye out for seasonal promotions and recipe tutorials from brands and food blogs — many run similar contests and publish helpful how-to content when grilling season ramps up. Sharing photos or short cooking notes can also enter you into contests that reward creativity in the kitchen.
