Every backyard chef needs a good set of tools. It doesn’t have to be an expensive set, but it does need to be sturdy enough to stand up to a little abuse. I recently received a new set of stainless steel, heavy-duty barbecue tools as a gift, yet I still prefer the cheapo set I have been using for years and years. It’s not about price, or even what material the tools are made of. The utensils must be useful, and I think that is judged from a personal perspective. What works best for me may not work best for you.
