# 5 Gifts for the Outdoor Cook | Made In - Made In Whether they grill while glamping, roast freshly-caught fish right off the boat, or cook over an open fire next to their tent, we’ve got a gift for them. Shopping for those who frequently cook outdoors is deceptively tricky. They’ll want something light enough to pack in their backpack, but heavy-duty enough to last over an open flame, and versatile enough to handle a variety of dishes and cooking techniques. If you’re stumped on what gift to get your favorite fisherman, hiker, camper, or outdoor griller, we’ve got you covered no matter their skill set or size of their collection. ### Carbon Steel Grill Frying Pan ```json { "_key": "a34f4f9082e7", "_type": "variant", "data": { "_id": "variant.43505497276495", "badges": [], "collegiateAsset": null, "computed": { "discount": 0, "isAvailable": true, "isPrimary": true, "offset": 0, "price": 139, "status": "forSale" }, "handle": { "current": "12-inch" }, "imageBadges": null, "media": [ { "_key": "97dcd9628838", "description": null, "hotspots": null, "image": { "asset": { "altText": "Grilled vegetables, including tomatillos, jalapeños, and red onions, are arranged in a black skillet on a barbecue grill alongside corn on the cob.", "metadata": { "dimensions": { "_type": "sanity.imageDimensions", "aspectRatio": 1, "height": 1500, "width": 1500 }, "lqip": "data:image/jpeg;base64,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" }, "url": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/fr9flhkd/main/09125f9a085e508fa81003fddafc174073b0f144-1500x1500.jpg" } }, "tags": [ "gallery", "secondary" ], "type": "image", "video": null } ], "meta": { "hasCollegiate": false, "hasTrial": true, "hasWaitList": false, "isCollegiate": false, "isDiscountEligible": true, "isFinalSale": false, "isHidden": false, "isOnSale": true, "isSet": false, "promoDates": null, "promoPrice": null }, "product": { "ranking": 26, "rating": null, "shopify": { "handle": "carbon-steel-grill-basket", "id": 7823335489615, "image": { "alt": null, "height": 1500, "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2131/5111/files/Carbon_Steel_Carbon_Grill_Fry_Stay_Cool_Handle-3q-Hero.jpg?v=1755190421", "width": 1500 }, "title": "Seasoned Carbon Steel Grill Basket" } }, "shopify": { "handle": null, "id": 43505497276495, "image": { "alt": null, "height": 1500, "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2131/5111/files/Carbon_Steel_Carbon_Grill_Fry_Stay_Cool_Handle-3q-Hero.jpg?v=1755190421", "width": 1500 }, "option1": "12\"", "option2": null, "option3": null, "title": "12\"" }, "taxonomies": [ { "handle": { "current": "12-inch" }, "title": "12\"", "type": "size" }, { "handle": { "current": "oven-safe" }, "title": "Oven Safe", "type": "features" }, { "handle": { "current": "pfas-free" }, "title": "Free of PFAS", "type": "features" }, { "handle": { "current": "grill-safe" }, "title": "Grill Safe", "type": "features" }, { "handle": { "current": "third-party-tested" }, "title": "Third-Party Tested", "type": "features" }, { "handle": { "current": "sweden" }, "title": "Sweden", "type": "country_of_origin" }, { "handle": { "current": "carbon-steel" }, "title": "Carbon Steel", "type": "material" }, { "handle": { "current": "cookware" }, "title": "Cookware", "type": "product_category" }, { "handle": { "current": "frying-pans" }, "title": "Frying Pans", "type": "product_type" }, { "handle": { "current": "specialty-shapes" }, "title": "Specialty Shape", "type": "product_category" }, { "handle": { "current": "best-sellers" }, "title": "Best Sellers", "type": "merchandising" } ], "title": null } } ``` Whether cooking over an open fire or a grill, nothing beats smoky, charred ingredients—but that direct contact with the flame often comes at the price of losing ingredients to the fire or between grill grates. Enter the Grill Basket, equipped with 53 perforations to flame-kiss vegetables and perfectly char proteins without losing any ingredients. ### Carbon Steel Griddle ```json { "_key": "d053b2259158", "_type": "variant", "data": { "_id": "variant.42784895205455", "badges": [ { "_key": "Best Seller", "logoAsset": null, "title": "Best Seller" } ], "collegiateAsset": null, "computed": { "compare_at_price": 258, "discount": 23, "isAvailable": true, "isPrimary": true, "offset": 59, "price": 199, "status": "forSale" }, "handle": { "current": "griddle-press-set" }, "imageBadges": null, "media": [ { "_key": "f8f13064fa9b", "description": null, "hotspots": null, "image": { "asset": { "altText": "A person's arm is visible as they press down on hamburger patties with a spatula on an outdoor grill.", "metadata": { "dimensions": { "_type": "sanity.imageDimensions", "aspectRatio": 1.0045754026354319, "height": 5464, "width": 5489 }, "lqip": "data:image/jpeg;base64,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" }, "url": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/fr9flhkd/main/ca7e1e3e66c4efbbe0dff7954e92377d5a20686c-5489x5464.jpg" } }, "tags": [ "secondary" ], "type": "image", "video": null } ], "meta": { "hasCollegiate": false, "hasTrial": true, "hasWaitList": false, "isCollegiate": false, "isDiscountEligible": false, "isFinalSale": false, "isHidden": false, "isOnSale": true, "isSet": true, "promoDates": null, "promoPrice": null }, "product": { "ranking": 20, "rating": { "rating": 4.77, "rating_count": 2318 }, "shopify": { "handle": "carbon-steel-griddle-set", "id": 7742164992079, "image": { "alt": null, "height": 1150, "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2131/5111/files/Web_Carbon_Steel_Griddle_Set_15_1x1_001_7ce8974b-8e29-4bf3-bf8e-1fd3ef420e0f.jpg?v=1762270237", "width": 1150 }, "title": "Carbon Steel Griddle Set" } }, "shopify": { "handle": null, "id": 42784895205455, "image": { "alt": null, "height": 1500, "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2131/5111/files/Web_Carbon_Steel_Griddle_2-Burner_wPress_1x1_Hero_518cbff3-73fc-4f4b-9a08-7af856202e68.jpg?v=1745357790", "width": 1500 }, "option1": "Griddle + Press", "option2": null, "option3": null, "title": "Griddle + Press" }, "taxonomies": [ { "handle": { "current": "carbon-steel" }, "title": "Carbon Steel", "type": "material" }, { "handle": { "current": "cookware" }, "title": "Cookware", "type": "product_category" }, { "handle": { "current": "sets" }, "title": "Sets", "type": "product_category" }, { "handle": { "current": "griddle" }, "title": "Griddles", "type": "product_type" }, { "handle": { "current": "induction-compatible" }, "title": "Induction Compatible", "type": "features" }, { "handle": { "current": "best-sellers" }, "title": "Best Sellers", "type": "merchandising" }, { "handle": { "current": "pfas-free" }, "title": "Free of PFAS", "type": "features" } ], "title": null } } ``` Our Carbon Steel Griddle comes pre-seasoned with a mixture of coconut oil and shea nut oil to bring the best parts of a restaurant cooktop to your home or camp site on day one. It is half the weight of cast iron but every bit as durable— so it heats evenly, responds quicker, and is light enough to travel from your stove to grill. Get the [Griddle Utility Bag](/products/griddle-bag/2-burner) for easy transport and storage. ### Seasoning Wax ```json { "_key": "daff9b1e985f", "_type": "variant", "data": { "_id": "variant-32640127598671", "badges": [], "collegiateAsset": null, "computed": { "discount": 0, "isAvailable": true, "isPrimary": true, "offset": 0, "price": 29, "status": "forSale" }, "handle": { "current": "6-ounce" }, "imageBadges": null, "media": [], "meta": { "hasCollegiate": false, "hasTrial": true, "hasWaitList": false, "isCollegiate": false, "isDiscountEligible": true, "isFinalSale": false, "isHidden": false, "isOnSale": false, "isSet": false, "promoDates": null, "promoPrice": null }, "product": { "ranking": 94, "rating": { "rating": 4.88, "rating_count": 3734 }, "shopify": { "handle": "carbon-steel-seasoning-waxx", "id": 2504765407311, "image": { "alt": null, "height": 1500, "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2131/5111/files/Web_1x1_Accessories_6ozCarbonSteelSesoningWax_Hero.jpg?v=1762197958", "width": 1500 }, "title": "Carbon Steel Seasoning Wax" } }, "shopify": { "handle": null, "id": 32640127598671, "image": { "alt": null, "height": 1500, "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2131/5111/files/Web_1x1_Accessories_6oz_Carbon_Steel_Sesoning_Wax_Hero.jpg?v=1724853064", "width": 1500 }, "option1": "6 oz can", "option2": null, "option3": null, "title": "6 oz can" }, "taxonomies": [ { "handle": { "current": "carbon-steel" }, "title": "Carbon Steel", "type": "material" }, { "handle": { "current": "accessories" }, "title": "Accessories", "type": "product_category" }, { "handle": { "current": "cookware" }, "title": "Cookware", "type": "product_category" } ], "title": null } } ``` If you chose any of our Carbon Steel gifts, help them out by adding on a can of  [Seasoning Wax](https://madeincookware.com/products/carbon-steel-seasoning-waxx). Made from a blend of high-smoke point Canola and Grapeseed Oils along with Beeswax, this helps to effectively and efficiently season their product, whether for the first time or as upkeep. It’s the perfect pairing to any Carbon Steel product and will help the pan achieve a slick, non stick surface. Cooking outdoors can be challenging, and any of these gift options help to make it easier, not to mention better. Whether these gifts are for someone ready to hike the Appalachian Trail or someone who wants to step up their grilling game, they’re sure to be a hit. --- URL: https://madeincookware.com/blogs/best-gifts-for-people-who-cook-outdoors
