There's a well-known phenomenon in which, during a house party, guests always seem to end up migrating to the kitchen over the course of the night, and it's possible that the reason for the kitchen shift is due to the attractiveness of one's kitchen products, as with the April 2018 kitchen trends. Appliances, utensils, and various cooking wares all grace this month's list of innovations, showing that food is and always will be one of the keys to life.
As the frost is beginning to clear and summer is peeking around the corner, barbecuing is once again a cooking option, and the April 2018 kitchen trends reflect that. There are plenty of more traditional barbecuing tools here, like grill racks and barbecues themselves, but there are some interesting takes as well. For example, the Outset Shrimp Cast Iron Grill is a grill pan designed solely for holding shrimp rather than risking the crustaceans slipping through the grill.
