"We know our customers are looking to simplify prep and cook time so they can spend more time outdoors with friends and family," commented Catherine Gentile of Bed Bath & Beyond.  "We've heard their cry and this year we offer many great tools that help make life simpler."

Bed Bath & Beyond has the following "in store" to add to your outdoor entertaining arsenal:

Problem:   Bored of the Burger?

Solution:   This year, stray from the classic quarter-pound and whip up some mini-burgers with the help of a mini-burger grilling basket and press.  The non-stick basket allows you to cook (and flip) up to nine mini-burgers at once.  No more mini-burgers falling between the slats or scorching your hand as you reach over the heat to flip the lone back burger.  The basket comes with a mini press that makes two mini-burgers at one time and creates perfect, round, even burgers- don't forget the mini-burger buns!

Problem:  Running Inside for Refills?

Solution:  Use a large drink dispenser and ask guests to PYOB (Pour Your Own Beverage).  Choose the convenience of a three gallon dispenser that's made of unbreakable polycarbonate (perfect for outdoors) and has a unique cooling cylinder to keep beverages cold without diluting them.  Or, double up and serve two concoctions with the Del Sol double beverage jugs that each hold one gallon and come complete with a stand.  Fill with iced tea, lemonade or even water and add lemon slices for a nice flavor and fun look.

Problem:  Unappetizing Appetizers

Solution:   If you've ever tried serving cheese and crackers in the summer sun, you've more than likely experienced a "meltdown."  Keep appetizers fresh throughout your event using "cool" pieces from the "On-Ice™" serveware collection that allow food to sit in its own tray on top of a bed of ice.  Use a large revolving server for appetizers that has three vented, double section food trays and a dip holder, or choose a salad bowl or condiment-on-ice tray.  

Problem:  Eating Cherries Can be The Pits!

Solution:  Have you ever passed up a cherry because you didn't know what to do with the pit?  Put it in a napkin? Use an empty cup as a pit spittoon?  A cherry pitter is the answer to awkward pit disposals.  It pits up to four cherries at once, and is reversible to accommodate both small and large cherries. The spring-loaded mechanism provides ease of use in one motion, and the pits fall into the attached chamber for mess-free pitting and easy disposal.  Go ahead- try one!

Looking for a shortcut of your own?  Stop by your local Bed Bath & Beyond where an associate will be happy to work with you to find the problem-solving product that's right for you.
