How to properly organize a barbecue area
Spring is the time for outdoor barbecues. Woman`s Day and Svetlana Buerakova, director of development for the interior brand Crate and Barrel, talk about how to properly organize a grill party and what to look for first.
Obviously, it all starts with the grill. Yes, yes, if you invited your friends for a barbecue, then you cannot do without this device. Outside the city, you can install a stationary barbecue, but for outings on a picnic you will need a portable version – it will not take up so much space in the car and at the same time will delight you with the taste of the dishes cooked on it.
It is also worth stocking up on high-impact dishes. We advise you to choose galvanized or melamine plates and acrylic glasses: they will survive not only a possible fall to the ground, but also unpredictable weather. In addition, by giving up disposable tableware, you are contributing to the care of the ecology of our planet. Now you can easily find stylish high-impact cookware that will last a long time and do not require special care.
Do not forget about the grill tongs and other accessories needed to prepare and serve food. Convenient tools make cooking easier and keep food fresh.
For example, the corn grill and burger press will not only become indispensable helpers, but will also attract the attention of your guests, becoming a subject for discussion and culinary experiments.
If you go to a picnic, the basket will become an invariable attribute. It should be roomy and easy to carry. You can choose both the usual braided version, and a model made of plastic or fabric.

It is important to pay special attention to cooling drinks: it is always nice to quench your thirst in the fresh air with a cool lemonade or a refreshing cocktail.
Special buckets for cooling bottles, portable refrigerators, and thick glass decanters will help maintain the required temperature. Drinks can be served in special acrylic glasses: they not only come in different colors, but also exist in different shapes for different occasions. For example, special glasses for beer for a friendly male company, glasses for wine for a family dinner, or even glasses for a Margarita cocktail.
What to do in the fresh air while the food is being prepared? Standard badminton and frisbee do not cause much enthusiasm among the audience? It is worth paying attention to unusual outdoor games: croquet, boccia, flag football.
Lovers of a calm and measured holiday also have something to do. Owners of country houses are advised to pay attention to comfortable and compact ottomans. They will not take up much space and at the same time will serve as a great accessory. The composition can be supplemented with bright pillows that you can take with you to a picnic. It is better to give preference to specialized outdoor items made of water-repellent materials.
It is also necessary to take care of the guests by preparing several blankets in case of cool evenings: they not only will not let you freeze, but will also create additional comfort.
Various accessories can be used to add a unique mood to a street party. You can decorate the picnic area with street lamps, candles, as well as hanging structures: neat garlands and unusual birdhouses will make the interior of the barbecue area complete. Do not forget about the decoration of the table: themed napkins and tablecloth will add color to the party.
