Bene Casa 82361 sandwich press.

Bene Casa 82361 sandwich press.I realize it was only 6 bucks, but someone (or company) actually stole my money knowing full well that this product does not and could not EVER work the way it was supposed to! Even after coating both sides of the press with tons of PAM & Butter (so much that I would never even think of actually eating the sandwich), the bread still sticks to the "cheap-metal" sides like super glue! Bene Casa's sanwich press is probably the worst designed product I have ever purchased. How about using a non-stick material (teflon) to make a product that actually works as advertised.

Love the sandwich press, we take these camping and the grand kids love to make fruit pies on bread in these, would recommend these to anyone who goes camping with kids or grandkids

I first purchased one of these units in about 1947. It was my mothers money, so naturelly she had a cow for waisting all her funds. (fifty Cents). After tasting a 'pie' I made for her, she braged how I buy the cleaverest things. There was one of these toasters in my household ever sence. The one recently purchased was for my 50 year old daughter who rembers the goodies we made in her growing up years and asked us if she could have ours. I told her abloutly not. So i found one at Amazon and shipped it to her.The last I heard, she was pigging out on the num nums.(Bene Casa #82361 sandwich press)

It worked OK but seems to be very cheaply made and also slightly smaller than those seen a few years ago.

Chasseur Cast Iron 3290FB French Bistrot Grill/Griddle, French Blue

Chasseur Cast Iron 3290FB French Bistrot Grill/Griddle, French BlueSmaller than claimed. actual cooking surface is 13.5 by 9.5 inches by .75 inch deep. Overall length is 16.5 including the handles and overall height is 1.5 inches. Claimed Product Dimensions: 17 x 10 x 2 inches. For those thinking this would cover their cooktop's bridged double burners based on the claimed dimensions, it will likely fall short.

What makes it unusable is that the bottom is not flat; one fourth of it is lower than other areas so it teeters and clanks back and forth on a flat cooktop. It will be returned and I'll just pony up for the Le Cruset double burner grill not available on Amazon.com.

Excellent quality, love it. Very heavy. A little smaller than expected but worked out fine. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality griddle!

Steel Grate

Steel GrateThis Steel Grate is a perfect fit for my wood burner which only has a 15" door to add logs to the fire. Before I started using this Steel Grate my fire would just smolder & smoke every time I attempted to start it up putting off so much smoke that it filled up the house. I also had the same problem with the smoke when I was successful at starting the fire with keeping it going throughout the day. The Steel Grate has solved my smoldering smoke problem filling up the house. It's easier to start the fire and it lasts a lot longer using the Steel Grate! I would recommend this product to anyone who has a smaller wood burner or smaller fireplace.

This was a little smaller than expected, but is well made and still fits nice in our free standing fire place. We did not realize that the legs extend out and the measurement is taken at the extended legs.

Buy Steel Grate Now

This grate was just the right size for our small stove/fireplace. It seems to be very sturdy and has a small piece of what is probably hardware wire underneath, so that the little pieces of wood/embers don't fall through too easily. However, it isn't smaller on one side than the other--it's square-shaped, not triangular. That doesn't really matter much. I'd absolutely recommend it! A great deal for the price!

When I called the seller to find out what the shipping method would be, I explained that the grate I had ordered wasn't exactly what I wanted, just the closest thing I could find. After our conversation, the product arrived and was exactly what I had wanted in the first place! I am so pleased! Your seller appreciated what I wanted and took care of me; I wish more retailers were so considerate!

Mr. Bar-B-Q Grill Stone Pizza Set

Mr. Bar-B-Q Grill Stone Pizza SetI got this for Father's Day, and I will give Mr. Bar-B-Q kudos for making a stone the right size to fit inside the firebox on my grill. The stone seems a bit thin but that makes for more even heating, I suppose.

My main problem is with the spatula. The directions call for putting the spread dough on the spatula before adding ingredients and transferring to the preheating-on-the-grill stone. My wife, who worked at a L*ittle C*aesars in an earlier life, quickly saw the issue: the pizza will NOT transfer smoothly to the stone because the dough will sag through the slots. We tried, twice, even flouring the spatula before-hand the second time. Results: we ended up with calzones. We may try wrapping the spatula with foil next time. Meantime, Mr. Bar-B-Q might want to consider using a solid spatula in future versions.

The pizza stone is a pizza stone. Works fine. Cleaning is not a problem as I have a self cleaning oven. I just leave it in when cleaning.

The cutter is OK.

The pizza peel, as another reviewer noted, does not work as a pizza peel, only as a spatula. It works fine for taking the cooked pizza off the stone, but do not try to use it to transfer the raw pizza to the stone. Unfortunately the photos do not show this strange design.....

Buy Mr. Bar-B-Q Grill Stone Pizza Set Now

I can't comment on the spatula or cutter, as I never used either before needing to return this item. The stone itself cracked clean through on the very first use, all of 2 minutes after I slid my dough onto it. All instructions were followed. I think it's a just a poorly made item and prone to a short life. I recommend buying a different pizza stone.

Read Best Reviews of Mr. Bar-B-Q Grill Stone Pizza Set Here

We use this stone in the oven, and it turns frozen pizza into perfect pizza. (Ok, I'm being overly dramatic, but the difference between using a pan and a stone is pretty cool.) I can't tell you if this is the best stone, but it's the one I use. It's great in the oven and on the grill. As other reviewers pointed out, the slatted spatula will do a pretty sub-par job of transferring raw dough to the stone unless the bottom of the dough is GENEROUSLY coated with corn meal. That said, I love that I can fold it up and fold it in a drawer when I don't need it.

All in all, no regrets here.

Want Mr. Bar-B-Q Grill Stone Pizza Set Discount?

Love the spatula it's heavy duty, easy to put together. I already owned this product and wanted to get one for my mom. Be warned though, that the spatula IS HEAVY to begin with, so maybe use two hands to get your pizza safely out of the oven! The cutter that comes with it is great too! Overall, good product!

Maverick Remote Smoker Dual Probe Wireless Thermometer ET-73

Maverick Remote Smoker Dual Probe Wireless Thermometer ET-73I recently got into BBQ smoking and realized pretty quickly that I needed a thermometer. The thermometer that came stock with my smoker turned out to be off by at least 100 degrees. An oven thermometer did the trick at first, but I found that I was opening the smoker way too often to check the temp resulting in heat loss. At the end of a smoke, I was also opening it way too often to check meat temperature. This product not only allowed me to keep track of both, but also let me keep track of it from inside the house! Since the weather is getting colder out, this is a definite plus.

The first thing I did was check the accuracy. I put both of the probes in a pan of water and brought it to a rapid boil. One probe read 212, and the other 213, one degree off. Next I put both in a large glass of water and ice. Both were showing 32 degrees between the ice and water. The tests turned out far better than I had expected.

So far I have used this for three 12-14 hour smokes, and at least 2 6 hour smokes and the batteries are still good. The probes clean easily, and I have had no significant problems.

One thing I noticed is that one of the probes sees to have a bit of melted rubber protruding between the grill temp probe and the connected wire. Since I have never had either probe about 255 degrees, I find that a bit troubling. Not sure I want to use it for a direct grilling application where the temps can go over 400 easily.

I have not had a chance to see how the outside unit handles rain.

All in all, I would not think twice of buying another one of these if I had a need.

The E-72 is a nice unit for people using a smoker, since you need to monitor the smoker temp and the meat, but this model has a few odd things you need to be aware of. It's range can be very short. It says 100feet, but that is in an open field with no obstructions. If you are going through a wall from outside to inside, expect to get about 20 feet.

Also the on/off switch for the transmitter is inside the battery case. Very odd design.

Maverick just came out with a new model (the ET-372) that corrects these problems. As of this review, it's not sold on Amazon, but keep watching it's worth getting the new one.

Buy Maverick Remote Smoker Dual Probe Wireless Thermometer ET-73 Now

I've been using this produce with my Weber smoker for six months now, and it is the most important tool that I have. I've found it to be accurate within a few degrees (on the food side) of my instant read thermometers and by not having to open the lid to check temperatures I don't have to deal with the heat you lose doing that. Even though the remote unit is plastic, hanging it on the outside of the smoker works perfectly well. Setup took a bit of time the first few tries, then I found it to be straight forward. I only have two issues. First, having to open up the unit to turn it on is a minor hassle (it isn't that big of a deal, just a minor inconvenience). The other issue had nothing to do with using it with my smoker I used it in my gas barbecue and had a major flareup (wasn't paying close attention) and that shorted the food probe WHICH they mention may happen. I'm getting the high-temp food probe from them (wish it had been included in the first place). For my smoker, it worked perfectly fine. I recommend this unit to everyone.

My family makes hundreds of pounds of kielbasa and other smoked sausages every fall. This Maverick remote dual probe thermometer makes life so much easier. We can monitor the temperature of the meat as well as the air in the smoker without ever having to walk down to the smoker. We know as soon as we need to add more wood or as soon as the product is ready to be removed. It saves so much wasted time checking temps every 30 or so minutes.

Want Maverick Remote Smoker Dual Probe Wireless Thermometer ET-73 Discount?

I bought this unit about a year ago. I liked the idea of a temp read for the smoker, and another for the meat itself.

The unit is a little tricky to figure out. (If you don't get a read or --on your receiver, then make sure the receiver is on before you turn on the transmitter.)

It seems to be fairly accurate too.

I don't know what caused the problem, but the display on the receiver started to fail. I was able to keep it limping along by applying pressure to the back of the unit. If you push in the right place the dead pixels seem to come to life for the most part.

If this unit was better made/more rugged I would have bought 3 of them to use and abuse.

I'm not sure I will by products by Maverick again.

9" DIAMETER ROUND BAKING STONE

9' DIAMETER ROUND BAKING STONEI bought this pizza stone for my SuperWave halogen/convection oven so I could have crisper crusts. Because the oven crisps things from the top down, the bottom of my frozen pizzas (and other things) weren't as crispy as I wanted them. This pizza stone fits into the oven and it does crisp the bottom. I would like it to become hotter, but then I started getting into the "how long to heat it up" and "how much power" vs the benefit of having a SuperWave style oven in the first place. So it works... my crusts are crispier and my frozen pizza is much, much better. It just isn't like a real pizza oven.

it is hard to get the crusty burnt bits off the stone. so if cheese runs off your crust, it'll leave a brown mark. the directions say not to use soap to clean, just water because the stone is porous. recommend that you put this on a cookie sheet so the cheese doesn't spill into the oven.

otherwise, works as advertised.

This is a nice little baking stone for small pizzas. It fits perfectly into my small convection/toaster oven. It's like other stone products, it will stain. Wipe off large matter and embrace the stains. It just means the stone is "seasoned".

Want 9" DIAMETER ROUND BAKING STONE Discount?

Perfect size for my Fagor Table top oven. Now I can cook french fries and they are crisp not soggy, I was layering the fries on top of the cooking grates that are provided, which worked ok, but very annoying when they drop down.

Update after multiple uses and cleanings. One thing I forgot to mention, until the stone is seasoned, the food will stick.

Tayama Electric Barbecue Grill

Tayama Electric Barbecue GrillThis grill is cheaply made and performs as well as a cheaply made piece o doodoo can be expected to perform. Doesn't get hot enough to really grill anything but can be used as a toaster. The most freaking annoying thing is that it won't turn off. The dial used for turning the thing on and then adjusting the temp is so crappy that even at the lowest setting there is no way to switch the thing completely off so it must be physically unplugged if you aren't planning to return to your kitchen in flames.

Don't recommend it at all. Also with this crap type of design it desperately needs a cover to get anything even halfway cooked. If u want something like this cough up the extra 10 bucks for one with a cover

I am a grill & bbq lover.

PROS: The idea is great: little, easy to handle, easy to clean, temperature works well, adjustable 3 levels, works great.

CONS: Really bad quality...

If you want to conserve it for at least 6 months, you would have to treat it as a little baby.

We live in an apartment complex that does not allow BBQing and this works great, for the grilled taste and look!!

Heat control broke after first use. It was stuck in the on position so the only way to turn it off was to unplug it. Also did not get very hot. Sent it back to Amazon within 24 hours of receiving it. Stay away.

I have to say that I am disappointed in the grill in that it takes a very long time to fully cook anything. I was surprised that the rack could be adjusted, didn't catch that from the description. Even with the rack at the lowest setting so the food is close to the heat it still takes longer than I expected to even get the food hot. Very compact though!

Cuisinart CGC-18 Tabletop Grill Tote Cover

Cuisinart CGC-18 Tabletop Grill Tote CoverThis cover fits fairly well although somewhat loosely. This makes it susceptible to being blown off in the wind. Although clearly not intended for this purpose, the carry straps with the velcro handle binds can be wrapped underneath and 'velcro-ed' together to hopefully keep the cover from blowing away. I do anticipate the eventual failure of the velcro to grip. I suppose I'll have to use bungee straps after that.

I ordered this when I also ordered the gas grill by mistake. It came in a separate package but I kept it anyway because it managed to fit over the electric grill. This is a nice cover with firm stitching and heavy-duty canvas-type fabric. The seams allow it to fit the grill so it looks attractive.

GE Part Number WB02X10776 CHARCOAL FILTER

GE Part Number WB02X10776 CHARCOAL FILTERThis is a good quality filter and fits perfectly in my GE microwave.

However, it didn't resolve an odor issue at the time due to the poor design of the microwave itself. There are 2 airflow passages in the top of the microwave. Only one of the passages is setup for installing a filter. The filter will not fit into the second passage, so half of the air blowing through the top vent was unfiltered and contained the odor.

Surprised at GE for the poor microwave design.

Wrong part, prohibitally expensive to send back. Just swallowed the cost and said oh well. That's the way it goes sometimes.

Camp Chef SGB40 carry bag for griddle SG100

Camp Chef SGB40 carry bag for griddle SG100Bought it for my Scout troop, it's convenient to store the griddle keeping it clean and oil off everything else. Zipper and straps are great, plenty of room to fit this griddle. The bag material is thinner than I would use if I was making a bag for this. Even with care the sharp edges of the griddle will put small slices into the bag. I would not use the bag to carry the griddle, I have the Scout's keep the griddle handle out and use that and the bag hangs on the griddle while carrying it from the trailer to the cook site.

Essential for keeping and carrying camp chef griddle dry and clean. It works as agreed and I can recommend it.

Weber 16128 Poultry Roaster

Weber 16128 Poultry RoasterThis is great. If you've ever made beer can chicken, you know it's the moistest, full flavored chicken you'll ever have. This is great, you don't get the chemicals off of a beer can, that probably should never be cooked anyways. All the fat and grease doesn't go into your grill, it's collected in the bottom of the roaster, so you don't have uncontrollable flames or mess to clean up in your grill. Hold's the chicken in place, where just a beer can or beer can stand can't. Works great in both your grill or oven. I loved it so much, I bought more for Christmas gifts.

Roasting a chicken or turkey breast is so easy, you can season your feast and mount it on the roaster, kick back! We easily use this about once a week. Chicken never cooked so easy. We inject our bird with cajun seasonings or put some garlic and perhaps beer or wine in the cavity, rub the skin with peanut oil or olive oil, just plain seasoning salt sometimes. Clean up is a snap!

Buy Weber 16128 Poultry Roaster Now

Very easy to use. Simply fill the aluminum cup in the tray with beer, wine, fruit juice, or some other beverage. For extra flavor, add spice as well. Place the infusion cone on top of the cup, then place the chicken on top of the infusion cone. Once the chicken is in place, put the infusion cap on top to lock in the steam. Steam cooks the chicken on the inside, heat on the outside. Chicken is tender and juicy on the inside while the skin is cooked to a golden, crispy brown. Fat and grease drain away from the chicken and collect in the bottom of the roaster instead of the grill.

To remove cooked chicken from roaster: Remove the infusion cap. Next, take a pair of tongs and go down the back side of the chicken and slide it off the infusion cone. This is easy to do since the roaster is nonstick. If your chicken is heavy, you may need to support it with a second set of tongs.

Tried the chicken and it was great. I have used the beer can but this was a lot easier. I also cooked a 7 1/2 lb Turkey breast used a cajun salt pepper rub(use only the base unit fits perfect) with the beer and some spice rub in the well). It took 2 1/2 hours on med high. Well worth the wait.

We purchased this roaster for my father. He made an excellent chicken with it last weekend. It provides a nice sturdy base to set your chicken on and allows you to add veggies, beer, wine, etc very easily. I was very impressed on how it held and chicken and the ease of removing the chicken once done cooking. We have a very cheep "beer-in-the-butt" holder and the Weber Roaster was much more stable and easy to use. I do not give it 5 stars because it set the chicken so high, the lid to my fathers Weber Charcoal Grill would not fit. However, he was able to rig a smaller grill rack to sit lower in the grill and it cooked fine.

We had great chicken.

Microhearth Grill Pan for Microwave Cooking, Black

Microhearth Grill Pan for Microwave Cooking, BlackI enjoy this innovative cookware very much in my office. I use it almost every day in a variety of ways: grilled chicken, grilled fish, garlic bread,quesadillas etc. I don't need to go out for lunch. My evaluation of it is very positive.It certainly ranks a 10+. I am suggesting it to other friends who want to prepare a meal using microwave in the office.And, also, their delivery was excellent.Good product and good service.

The Microhearth Grill Pan brings a whole new dimension to microwave cooking. So many foods that previously required time-consuming, and often messy, stovetop and/or oven preparation can now be accomplished in just a few minutes thanks to this inventive new cookware. Don't know how I managed without it. Clean-up is a cinch, requiring very little effort and thus making the entire cooking experience a pleasure.

I received this item as a gift. Now I cook all meats in the microwave. Kebobs come out great. The cooker leaves grill marks. No more messy oven from broiling meats! I usually cook non seafood items for 3 minutes then I turn and decide the amount of time the item needs to finish cooking.

Easy to clean. Just wipe out, that's it.

The only improvement I would make would be to have the steam vents on the opposite end from the spot you grip the handle to lift the lid. That is a small thing compared to the convenience of the cooker.

Great addition to the kitchen for cooking for 1 or 2 people.

Charcoal Companion Rosewood handle Double Prong Grilling Kabob Skewers, Set of 4

Charcoal Companion Rosewood handle Double Prong Grilling Kabob Skewers, Set of 4Ever have trouble with scallops playing ring-a-round-the-rosie when you have them skewered and on the grill. You most certainly don't have to worry about that with these babies. We bought two sets to make sure we have enough when we have our friends over. Only drawback I think is the wood handles. Granted the wood is small it's still a bit worry some when on the grill. We soak the handles for good measure. The metal tongs are the perfect length and are securly mounted to the handles. No worry there. Never have your food try to fight with you again on the grill with these. We love them.

We used these at a cookout with my brother-in-law several months back and the easiest place to find them for s was amazon. They look fragile(the wooden handle), but the heat and use does not damage the wood. he has had his for an extended period of time. The flat style souble prong makes it so much easier to cook/flip/rotate skewers on a grill without the skewered food spinning opr falling off. If you like cooking stuff on a skewer, than this is definately worth the money!
