  • Grilling Tongs - Essential kitchen tools for safely handling hot items during grilling and manipulating the corn on the cob while cooking.

  • Corn Husker - A specialized tool made specifically to remove kernels from corn on the cob with minimal effort, ideal for various recipes including those that involve grilling.

  • Corn Cobbler Tray - While not directly used for grilling, it can be adapted or replaced with an appropriate size and shape for oven-grilling corn as a substitute method if necessary.
