Sportula Products 7010755 Camo Buck Sportula

Sportula Products 7010755 Camo Buck SportulaThis is a great gift for any friends that hunt and also have a grill. It's very high quality and nice looking.

While the sportula looked like I wanted the quality wasn't up to my standards or expectation. Before I even had a chance to wrap it as a gift one of the screws in the handle fell out. I put it back in but it wasn't as tight as it should be. Hoping it doesn't fall apart when my brother in law uses it grilling!!

GrillPro 40240 16-Inch Stainless Steel Tong/Turner Combination

GrillPro 40240 16-Inch Stainless Steel Tong/Turner CombinationWanted to replace Weber tongs so searched Amazon and found the GrillPro Turner Tongs. What a bargain! They offer the grip of tongs, with the surface of spatulas...super grill tool. Well built of quality stainless steel with non-slip handles and a neat locking device. If I could change anything it would be to make them a couple inches longer for hot fires, but not a real problem as is.

larger than i thought, better quality than i assumed, works better than described and honestly is just amazing for burgers, grilled cheese, brats, steak, anything you wanna flip and hold securely while doing so.. outstanding product. HIGHLY recommended!

The thong/turner is really great, just a bit larger than what I thought. But it will do the job.

Can not wait to make them burgers.

Pros: I like the surface area; great for fish fillets and burgers

Cons: It doesn't have any "bite" so it's difficult to grab things like traditional tongs.

I bought these to replace my tongs, but I'll still need to hold on to the traditional tongs for smaller objects like chicken legs, hot dogs, wings, etc. They work great on fish fillets, because they used to fall apart with tongs or even a spatula. Same with burgers. If it had "teeth" around the edges and force-fed CLAMP power then it would be flawless... but it's now just a supplement as opposed to a tong replacement.

My friends in Colorado have a tong/turner that is wonderful. I searched every store that I could think of in Wichita, KS and was about to give up. Even BBQ stores didn't have anything close. So, I went on line and thanks to Amazon.com I found the perfect one. It takes up extra room in the kitchen drawer, but works wonderfully with great workmanship.

Telescopic Marshmallow / BBQ Fork - Set of 4 - Assorted Colors

Telescopic Marshmallow / BBQ Fork - Set of 4 - Assorted Colors
  • Set of 4 Telescopic Marshmallow / BBQ Forks
  • Colors on handles will vary

We go camping a lot and making smores and toasted marshmallows is always part of our ritual and was delighted find to buy these. We go all out camping with too many luxuries (movie projector and screen, inflatable couch -not really roughing it) so between a family 5 and camping and food our car is packed!! What we do is put all of our camping gear in a large cooler and then empty the cooler and the put drinks/food and ice in it. We had the long Coleman forks but they didn't fit in the cooler == other BBQ forks on Amazon were more for hot dogs only and too wide to ensure that two prongs would pierce marshmallows. These Cooking Concepts seemed to be an ideal item for an unmet need. We go ours from joe or john bargains on Amazon and they arrived quickly and seem to fit the bill -the ones I got are about 10 or so inches collapsed as the picture shows and about 24-28 inches extended which is safe and longer than our old forks for the kids. The spacing between prongs were great for marshmallows and therefor would be good for hot dogs too. The different color collar also made it easy for everyone to know which was their fork. We've used them three times last summer and so far have held up pretty well. I read another reviewers' comment before buying and have to keep in mind these are like antennas with forks at the end of them and like extendable radio antennas you do have to handle with some care remind the kids! I also like that we can collapse them and keep them on the picnic table without worrying that someone will walk into them or poke their eyes out. Cleaning sticky marshmallows off them was a snap as we usually put the forks in a paper or plastic cup with 2-2 1/2 inches of water after use and let them sit overnight and they easily wipe clean with a paper towel the following morning. For the price of 4 sticks and convenience this was a nice find and at less $25 for four of these I feel I got my monies worth already. Others I've seen were almost the same price for just 2 forks. I see Amazon is sold out of these and will likely get more for next summer since my kids now bring their friends camping.

These sticks are horrible. They are cheap. Two of them broke the very first time we tried to use them. I only bought them a few weeks ago. I scrubbed and scrubbed the other two to get them clean. Nope. I actually scrubbed off the coating, they are so cheap. Going in the trash. I wish I could rate them no stars.

I like the color coding. As a vegetarian, I don't like my campsticks to get mixed up with a meat eater's stick.

Aside from the colors, it's an ordinary telescoping campstick fork. I like them, they're a lot easier than searching the woods for a good roasting stick.

These were a little flimsy, but work just fine.

Rome Pioneer Large Camp Grate

Rome's #129 12 Inch x 28 Inch Pioneer Large Camp Grill, Chrome Plated SteelWe often cook over a fire pit shoveled out of the ground. I was having difficulty finding a grill that would span a larger diameter hole. This grill does a splendid job. It is thick enough to support the weight of several pots and pans, while suspended over the fire with only several inches of the ends on the ground. And since it is rectangular, instead of circular, I have space to easily feed small sticks to get the fire to flare up.

It isn't a thick, heavy grill, so I wait until the fire has burned down a bit before putting it over the flames. I don't want to weaken it. If it were heavier, I would give it 5 stars, but then it would also be much more expensive.

I built a firepit in my backyard and wanted to be able to do more than roast marshmallows. This allows me to cook just about anything I can cook on the grill. Great buy for the price.

Jaccard Home N'away Portable Stove

Jaccard Home N'away Portable StoveI was recently using this product at a party. It exploded, emitting an 8 foot flame that burned for over 3 minutes. Two of us were pretty extensively burned and my counter was damaged. We were pretty lucky, not to imply that this should have happened.

We were using it exactly according to directions. This product is an ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

Very light duty unit with a flimsy case. 3 out of the 5 units that I ordered came with loose screws that impacted their performance. Great Price...Guess you still only get what you paid for. Spend a few more dollars and get a better stove

Kingsford Stainless Steel Replacement Bristles, fits Grill Brush KRW40, KPT40, KPE40 and KRU40By drilling a new set of holes I was able to use this on an expensive weber brush that was in a big grill set, It works.

The old replacement heads were brass, not stainless, and held up better. However, glad I dont have to replace the brush, so will reorder when I need more.

I bought this brush head to replace a Crate and Barrel grill brush. They dont make a replacement so I decided to try this one. The description lists this brush as 3x3 which is the size I needed. It is not 3x3 it is actually 3x2.25. I am sure this brush would work just fine on the Kingsfords Brushes that they list it will fit. I am only giving it a poor review because of the incorrect description. If you are buying this head for a different brand of brush and need a 3x3, Dont buy this one

Proctor Silex 59738 Handheld Blender-150 W-White -by PROCTOR SILEXI am using this blender for almost 5 months now and It is working good. It is a basic blender for doing litle jobs. Good for blending soups, gravys and shakes. Though, I wish it should have included some cup too for mixing. I have given it 4 stars, because I have used a Braun blender in the past, that was the best. But even this one isn't that bad.

Weber 7531 Cast Iron Griddle

Weber 7531 Cast Iron GriddleThe description says it is 21 x 15 x 2 inches The actual dimension is 15 x 11.5 x 1 inches. The box it is packaged in meet the specification it says but not the product. It looks to be well made. Also it is made in China.

Amazon was great about returning it, thumbs up for that!

The griddle itself is great. It will not come seasoned. You have to do it yourself. I've got this griddle from Amazon. After opening a package found that it doesn't match item dimensions listed on Amazon website. Sent it back to Amazon and got a full refund without any problem. As I can see now Amazon removed product dimensions in the item descriptions. Anyway I give this griddle 5 stars because of the quality.

Friends,

I recently purchased a 7531 griddle for my Weber Silver A and I'm really happy with it. Regardless of what the advertised dimensions say, this griddle perfectly replaces one of the 15" x 11.5" grill grates on the Weber Silver A or the Model 500. I leave one grill grate on along with the griddle and it really turns the Weber into a versatile outdoor cooker. The griddle is a must for grilled veggies and works just excellent for searing fish without it flaking apart and falling through the grates. Considering the cost, this thing is one inch thick cast iron and will last longer than you or I will so you'll never have to replace it if you reasonably care for it. Secondly, the original two grates for your Weber will last you twice as long because you'll only use one and have the second as a spare when the first one wears out. I'd give this 5 stars if it were made in the USA. It's made in China but I have to say it's heavy duty and well made.

Happy Grill'n

NordicWare 15040 Cast Aluminum Stovetop Belgium Waffle Iron

NordicWare 15040 Cast Aluminum Stovetop Belgium Waffle IronWow! Magnificent waffles (and I've tasted my share) first time off the volley. How, you may ask, those 1-2 star reviewers? Oil the waffler lightly before the pre-heat. They're right, there is NO such thing as a completely stick-free waffler out there. And for those of you in love with teflon, good luck achieving the light crisp crunch exterior that yields to a light fluffy interior possible with this waffler. Waffle afficionados told me I had to find an old non-teflon waffler on e-bay or at a flea market. Imagine my surprise to run into this at a nearby kitchen supply store. Good thing I had not read the Amazon reviews, I might have been scared off. So make their suggested batter, lightly oil, pre-heat, pour batter and 3 minutes later--the BEST waffles out there. Merci, NordicWare.

I purchased this waffle iron four years ago.

And, I went through quite a few batches of waffle batter until I could heat the iron on the stove properly.

But, after a while I was making the tastiest waffles on the block.

Once I got the hang of using this waffler, I got rid of my electric

waffle iron!

I end with one word of advice. Please be sure to grease this waffle iron before you pour the batter on the grids.

Buy NordicWare 15040 Cast Aluminum Stovetop Belgium Waffle Iron Now

The new Nordic Belgium Wafflers are not the same high quality as previous models. Previous models include a temperature gauge and bake higher quality waffles. The new waffler does not hold the waffles to the outside surface until baked and the waffles end out collapsed and heavy. I used the older model at the same time with the same batter at similar temperatures and the waffles from the older model were light and crisp.

I have baked waffles in this pan for about 30 years. It still bakes the biggest most beautiful Belgian waffles in the world in four minutes! I am looking for a second one so I can make two at a time. Preheat about 2 minutes on each side. Flip the griddle quickly after pouring batter onto the hottest side. Bake 2 minutes on each side. Mine has a temperature gauge in the handle, which I love. I am trying to find that model, but it may not exist any more.

Presto 07045 Family-Size Cool-Touch Tilt'N Drain Electric Griddle

Presto 07045 Family-Size Cool-Touch Tilt'N Drain Electric GriddleI purchased this griddle intending to use it to cook pancakes, bacon, and to heat torillas.

First of all, the aluminum surface of the griddle is not as thick as I was expecting. I haven't measured it, but I'd estimate it's between 1/8" and 3/16" thick across most of the surface. As such, it does warp under high heat. It was set on top of my smooth top range (range was off and cold, of course!) and when I turned it past 450 degrees, I found that one of the 4 legs would be off the surface. There is a raised lip around the outer edge which would prevent liquids (pancake batter, beaten egg, etc) from spilling off. This is useful and well executed.

Previous reviews noted that your pancakes can come out "striped" due to the heating element. I underestimated this. Though made of aluminum, there definitely are vast differences in heat from one area of the griddle to another. I think this griddle would perform much better if the heating element covered more of the surface of the griddle, kind of like the design of an electric oven's broiler element.

For heating tortillas, I've got no complaints. And this griddle can get hot, as I've done chicken stir-fry and fajitas all on the surface of the griddle.

Overall, I think I paid a fair price for it, but I'd look for a more expensive, higher quality model next time around.

Having gone through several electric griddles over the years this one is the pick of the litter. The tilt feature is nice to keep your bacon from deep frying in its own grease and makes clean up easier. The size is great since you can actually feed a crowd (thats why you bought it right?). There are some hot spots as usual with this type of item but nothing real serious. I would recommend this item if you want to cook up a pound of bacon at a time, a mess of pancakes or 6 grilled cheese sandwiches.

Buy Presto 07045 Family-Size Cool-Touch Tilt'N Drain Electric Griddle Now

I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS GRIDDLE. We bought oversize to make more pancakes and thought the cool-touch edge was a great idea. The Tilt'N Drain sounds great, but a mere bump of the cool-touch edge and the griddle falls into the drain position. Not what you're looking for when pouring pancakes. First of all, it still only accommodates five normal size pancakes (four corners and one in the middle). The surface is not level, and all the pancakes run towards the center giving them a distinctive oval shape. The biggest disappointment is the heating element. I purposely pour the center one first, and the one closest to the heating source last. Despite my efforts the one closest to the heating element source turns dark brown in no time flat, and the one in the center is barely ready to flip. End result...I'm shopping for a new griddle.

Read Best Reviews of Presto 07045 Family-Size Cool-Touch Tilt'N Drain Electric Griddle Here

Purchased this last Christmas. Our previous attempts to do pancakes for our family of 4 children were OK, but the small griddles and frying pans just didn't get the job done quickly enough. Most we could cook at a time were 5 in the circular Circulon electric frying pan. So we got this and it does the job. We're able to cook 8 to 12 pancakes at a time, so are able to cook the entire breakfast with just two batches.

I like the drain feature for bacon, but as other reviewers have indicated it slides into the drain position much too easily. It has never done so during cooking, so our pancakes have always turned out great. But while getting it out of the cupboard and cleaning it, those handles just pop out. Would be nice if they had provide some sort of lock or quick-release mechanism.

Also, as indicated by others, the heat is a little uneven. Pour batter in the top right corner last (next to where the heating element connects).

Want Presto 07045 Family-Size Cool-Touch Tilt'N Drain Electric Griddle Discount?

This griddle is BIG, which is what I wanted. If you want a big griddle, this is it. Keep in mind, the size makes it difficult to clean. It does not fit in my sink, so water often drips on the floor (without me knowing) when I clean it. However, this is not a problem with the griddle, just something to be aware of.

Unfortunately, the surface does not heat evenly, nor does the thermostat appear to be accurate. The middle of the griddle is about 15 F warmer than the setting on the thermostat while the sides were 50 F warmer, as measured with an IR thermometer. This is the only design flaw.

The griddle is level! Pancakes, scrambled eggs, and any other items that flow will stay where you put them. Other griddles are permanently tilted to allow grease to drain. This unit will tilt when you need it to drain (when cooking bacon for example), but stay level when you want it level.

The size is great, and I have not found anything that comes close to this. Without a doubt, I would purchase this again.

Sunbeam Rocket Grill - Indoor Grilling Machine

Sunbeam Rocket Grill - Indoor Grilling MachineI have purchased hundreds of dollars worth of cooking appliances looking for the one that would make my life in the kitchen easier. I have tried George Foreman Grill, Convection toaster ovens, Lightwave ovens, Turbo oven, Electric Counter top Grill, Pressure cookers, Crockpot slow cookers and many more. None of them comes up to expectation. And the one that is decent you still have the cleaning up to do afterward. That little cleaning chore makes cooking for the single guy not very appealing.

The Rocket Grill is the answer to all the single guys. Just prepare the food, put it in the parchment pouch and cook it per instruction. The food comes out delicious. And if you don't season it, it still comes out acceptable.

The only cleaning up you have to do is to throw the bag in the trash. I myself use a scissor to cut a little slit at the bottom of the bag and drain off all the juice into the kitchen sink before throwing it away. I don't want the juice in the bag to be media for microbial growth after a couple of days in the trash container.

For me, following the instruction gives perfect results. I have read on Amazon reviews where others recommend an extra-minutes or two. But after a couple of use, you should get a feel on what is the proper methods.

But the best part about this product is the parchment pouches. It makes cooking no longer a tideous chore. As such you are willing to go back and try & try again until you get the feels of what is the proper methods to cook on the Rocket Grill. You are willing to try & try again even after reading the Amazon reviews that give you conflicting ideas about how to use the Rocket Grill.

I whole heartly recommend the Rocket Grill. I heard that when the Rocket Grill first comes out, it was $125. I am glad that it has comes down as I would have never gave it a try at that price. And I would have missed out on such a great product.

Thank you Sunbeam for such a great product.

The rocket grill is the best kitchen appliance I've ever purchased! It cooks meats perfectly, and there is absolutely no clean up. Steak that isn't frozen cooks in 4-5 minutes with beautiful grill marks, and the meat is juicy and delicious. I haven't cooked frozen meat yet, but I've been told it does great with that as well. I have no idea what the person who gave this one star is talking about. Maybe they have this machine confused with something else, because the Rocket Grill is fantastic.

We bought one because the "no mess" sounded wonderful. The first few times we used it, we thought it was great. Then we realized there IS a mess whenever the bag leaks down into the lower parts of the machine, and it will! We didn't even know it was doing it at first. Also, it gets irritating to have to purchase the bags which aren't that cheap. We ended up throwing the thing away, as there just isn't a way to clean way down in the bottom. I always end up going back to my cast iron frying pan!

We use this at our office every single day for lunch. There are 4 of us ladies and we cook everything from steak, to fish to chops to chicken. Everything is moist, grilled beautifully, tender, and the cleanup is nothing! sure you have to wash your plates and forks, but if your a complainer then use paper and plastic-yeesh! another good thing, this item does not smoke while cooking like a Foreman grill does. So we use it in our office kitchen and save major money on lunch everydayhow much? I alone have saved over $800.00 in lunch money. I would spend about $10.00 a day on lunch x's that by 5 days, by 4 weeks. We have had this grill since January. My grocery bill for my weekly lunch is only $25.00 for 5 days of food.
