Now more than ever, people are opting to stay in rather than venturing out to restaurants. Many grill enthusiasts have taken this extra time at home to try and step up their grill game, embarking on the ultimate quest: to create a restaurant-quality meal at home. But how do you recreate 5-star steakhouse food and BBQ with your backyard grill? 

Bringing your restaurant favorites to your dining room table isn’t as hard as you may think. The right equipment - like a high-quality rotisserie kit and sear burner - can take your home-grilled food from ‘good’ to ‘great.’ Whether it’s a date night in, a meal with friends and family, or just a random Tuesday, there’s no better time than now to create a high-end grilling experience at home.  

We asked our grill experts what tools are necessary to bring professional-style grilling to your backyard. Here are their top recommendations.

Rotisseries: The Key to Slow-Roasted Perfection

Craving that delicious, slow-roasted flavor you’d normally get at your favorite BBQ restaurant? Recreating it at home is easy with a rotisserie.

While rotisserie chicken and turkey are classics, rotisseries aren’t just for poultry. Prime rib, pork tenderloins, roasted pineapple - rotisseries are great for cooking any large piece of meat (or fruit) for a rich flavor you just can’t create by roasting in the oven.

The most common form of rotisserie is one that pierces the food with a spear. But what if you want to diversify your slow-roasting game to include, say, chicken wings, french fries, and veggies? That’s where a rotisserie basket comes in. These baskets tumble the food inside as it rotates, creating a crispy final product without the need for oil or deep frying. Though harder to find than rotisserie spears, rotisserie baskets allow you to diversify your menu with smaller dishes and sides for a true restaurant-caliber experience.

Rotisseries are also relatively easy to use. They run on electric motors, so you’ll need access to electricity near your grill. A sturdy motor and a counterweight to balance the load are key for a smooth rotation and a professional end result.

While most charcoal grills can’t be outfitted with a rotisserie, the majority of gas grills can. If your gas grill didn't come with a rotisserie, never fear - you can purchase an add-on rotisserie kit accessory.

Up Your Steak Game: Grills With Infrared/Sear Burners

No 5-star steakhouse meal would be complete without the crown jewel - the steak. Few foods are harder to recreate at home than a juicy, professionally-cooked steak. The secret ingredient for restaurant-quality flavor isn’t even an ingredient at all - it’s an infrared burner.

Our product specialists nearly always recommend grills with infrared burners. Without getting too technical, infrared technology cooks by heating the meat directly, not by heating the air around the meat like traditional grills (a method known as convection). This lack of air movement within an infrared grill allows the meat to retain more moisture for a juicy, restaurant-worthy steak.

While great for searing meat, heating up a skillet, or cooking in a time crunch, infrared or sear burners don’t work as well for veggies or saucy foods. Similar to the rotisserie, some grills have infrared burners built-in and others don’t. If not, don’t worry - they can be purchased as an add-on for some gas grills.
