June is the month to celebrate the Popular Saints in Portugal! This festival is full of unique traditions that result in cheerful street parties, festive decorations and typical Portuguese flavors.
Among these are the celebrations of Saint Anthony on June 13th, in Lisbon, Saint John on June 24th, in Oporto, and Saint Peter on June 29th, in different cities throughout Portugal. The essence of the Popular Saints stands out in the unity and contagious joy felt during these days. This is the perfect time to celebrate outdoors, gathering friends and family to enjoy the best that this festival has to offer.
To help you prepare for those moments, we present you with a selection of essential kitchen utensils to cook outside and celebrate in style. From barbecues to aprons, In & Out Cooking has everything you need to make your Santos Populares celebrations unforgettable!
1. Barbecues
A popular saints' party calls for an outdoor get-together, accompanied by a delicious grilled meal. If the ritual of lighting the charcoal, firing up the embers and grilling the food is fundamental for you in a moment like this, we suggest the following charcoal barbecues:
If you are looking for a more convenient solution, then we suggest gas barbecues. They are easy to use and clean, and can be adapted to smaller spaces. If you are a beginner, the Char-broil Gas Barbecue Performance Core B3 is perfect for you. The fuel-efficient, stainless steel burners quickly heat up the grill and the heat is evenly distributed thanks to the innovative TRU-Infrared cooking technology, which will make your food up to 50% juicier!
2. Barbecue Accessories
No matter if it's your first barbecue experience or if you are already a real barbecue expert, and no matter how innovative your barbecue system is: for a successful experience you need proper barbecue accessories like a barbecue spatula, barbecue locking tongs and barbecue fork.
We also suggest grill gloves, a steak thermometer, if meat is on the party menu, grill skewers, and the 2-in-1 roasting dish and cutting board from Char-broil.
3. Cutlery
To master the outdoor kitchen during your Santos Populares party, a chef's knife is a must! Besides, your guests deserve to enjoy their food with quality cutlery that adds more personality to your table. We love these colorful versions from Guzzini! Which one is your favorite?
4. Apron
For a fun, stain-free party, use an apron to cook in style! Asa Selection's vegan cooking aprons are made of synthetic leather and are super practical because of the front pockets. They are resistant, comfortable, and offer a good fit. Alternatively, Le Creuset kitchen aprons are made of 100% cotton and protect from splashes and spills, and are fully machine washable.
5. Glasses
And, of course, you can't forget the glasses to raise a toast to all the saints! Serve water, lemonade or other drinks in the tumbler glasses from Guzzini's Happy Hour collection, as they're very versatile and have a sophisticated design. For wine, we recommend the glasses made of melamine from Alessi that allow you to avoid the use of disposable cups.
6. Tableware
Even though the meal will be held outdoors, that doesn't mean it can't be stylish and elegant! Enjoy your outdoor celebration with Alessi's Dressed en Plein Air collection, a line designed for the outdoors. All these tableware pieces are made of melamine and therefore very resistant and reusable. There are soup plates, dining plates, dessert bowls, and more!
7. Coolers
To have fresh drinks always at your disposal, coolers are the best solution! Here you will find coolers with different styles and capacities. Choose the one that best suits your needs and create moments of fun with friends and family!
