27" Long Heavy Duty Pizza Oven / Grill Wire Brush with Scraper * Commercial Grade *

27' Long Heavy Duty Pizza Oven / Grill Wire Brush with Scraper * Commercial Grade *This brush is certainly a good bang for the buck, but doesn't remove burned on stuff like my old stainless bristle brush did. On the other hand, its probably better for those of you that have enamel grills...

This is a nice brush that I'm using on my home grill. You'll need an Philip's Head screwdriver to screw the handle on to a pre-drilled hole.

I bought this for the long handle so I could work it over a hot grill. 27" is more than enough to keep my hand from burning.

A big step up from my puny Weber 6464 18-Inch Bamboo Grill Brush.

S'More To Love STL-600 S'More Maker

S'More To Love STL-600 S'More MakerI gave it a 4star because I do like the size and sturdy frame of this Smores maker...however... i found it to be a little hard in handling it.

So you open this thing up...in the square you put a piece of G.cracker in...a very small piece of chocolate...marshm. and G.cracker again. All this works fine until you close it and have to flip it over again. because the chocolate piece as well as the marshm. are not staying in place.There is always a little tiny room in those squares so the things are sliding.and its very hard to adjust again,trying to put your fingers through the wholes,pushing things back in place. I managed.

I wonder why the company didnt just made it the opposite way,so that you have the baskets on the bottom,you stack your sandwich,close it and bake it. HMmm....

But as i said..I manage :-) and its duable,if u know about the issue.

Ild still buy it again. The kids had fun. even thought the chocolate ran all over the place it was very easy to clean up.it wiped right off.Its not so hard to store in the pantry or cabinet&my kids and me had fun.

you stack them up..put them in the oven by 375F for 4-7min. And if you let them cool a lil...they are easy to squish down a lil more and ready to eat. Yummy

We bought the S'Mores maker from Amazon for our daughter-in-law's birthday. Amazon's delivery and packing was prompt and excellent, as always. We got to use it the other night on our fire pit, after grilling some dogs and burgers. The night air was a cool 45 degrees, the oak fire had burned down to a nice bed of coals. We loaded the maker with a graham cracker on bottom, then the marshmallo, then chocolate, and then the top cracker. We rotated it a couple of times to make sure it was heating evenly. The chocolate melted evenly over the marshmallow, and the slight smokey taste from the oak fire made this the best S'Mores we had ever eaten. Can't wait to see what else we can come up with. Very happy with the maker. Don't forget a couple of pot holders to remove it from the grill.

Got the Smore to Love as a gift. Took it out of the box, loaded the ingredients and cooked for 4 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees. Delicious, and every ingredient cooked evenly. So Good! Tried it with my nieces and nephews, and they had so much fun as well. Great product!

I have not used this product yet, but it seemed like a good idea. I specifically bought it to take in the motorhome. I like that you can use it on the grill or oven, as well.

I just tried this product and pretty disappointed. The time in the oven was 3 to 4 mins and I left them in around 4 mins 15 seconds. The chocolate melted great but the marshmallow was still pretty firm. The best part of the smore is the ROASTED marshmallow and this was just about warm. I will get better results from the microwave. Big disappointment

George Foreman GRP106WP 2 Removable Nonstick Heart-Shaped Waffle Plates for the George Foreman Grill

George Foreman GRP106WP 2 Removable Nonstick Heart-Shaped Waffle Plates for the George Foreman GrillMy daughter enjoyed this product. We made a big batch. We froze some of them. All she has to do is put them in toaster in the morning just like Eggos.

Looks nice in the picture and on the box. Takes some practice to get waffles in one piece.

The waffle grill plates are awesome! My kids think I took the extra time to cut out the heart shapes just for them. It is big enough to feed the kids at the same time so no one feels like they are in competition for the first waffle and they can see the waffles are made with love. I also love the fact the plates are removable and easy to clean.

Maxi-Matic EBK-200 Elite Cuisine 3-in-1 Breakfast Station 4-Cup Coffee Maker, White

Maxi-Matic EBK-200 Elite Cuisine 3-in-1 Breakfast Station 4-Cup Coffee Maker, WhiteI was given this 3-in-1 as a gift for my "Man Cave Command Center" as I like to call it. I turned my room into one of the best places where I like to spend time. In my opinion, this little machine is a step up from the kids toy "Easy Bake Oven".

I'm a nurse and since I work nightshift, this machine serves its purpose in my room. Somehow I tend to rush when I go to the kitchen and I lose my mind. But since I have a fridge/freezer combo, and microwave in my room, everything I have is right here. Now that the 3-in-1 is a part of my collection, it makes everything so much simpler.

Some people gripe about how it's so small and that it can't do big items. This wasn't made for that. This was made to be the solution for those living in small spaces. To me, I'm perfectly fine with a small dinner roll to be toasted and eggs to be griddled on top. I find that awesome.

I give this a 5-star because it makes my life a lot better!

Pros:

1. Small in size

2. Griddle works like a charm

3. Coffee maker works fast!

4. Toaster a go-go! Can't go wrong with it!

Cons:

I don't see any in my opinion! I'm a simple person that doesn't need big items to be toasted. A simple dinner roll works for me!

This 3 in 1 Breakfast Machine contains a toaster oven, hot plate, and coffee maker. All the items are smaller than if you bought them separately, but if you are tight on space this is definitely handy.

The toaster oven was probably the biggest negative. It is only wide enough to fit 1 slice of break. Fortunately there is a top burner and a bottom burner so you can stack 2 pieces of bread on top of each other and flip them in the middle of cooking.

I cooked eggs in a basket on the hotplate and it cooked the egg in about 5 or 6 mins.

Pros:

Space Saving

Dial Timer 15 mins max

Can turn on/off top and bottom burner individually

Reusable Coffee Filter

Easy to clean removable hot plate

Comes with baking pan

Negatives:

All components pretty small, can't toast large items

Don't expect to cook for large parties, but if just cooking for yourself not bad.

Timer clicking down can get annoying

Great concept, especially for our RV but the coffee maker stopped working after about 8 uses no help from manufacturer.

This works as promised. Takes little space in our tiny camper, which was the idea. The coffeemaker is a bit hard to deal with and I'm using paper filters now. Takes awhile to toast bread, does a fried or scrambled egg well. Overall, fine for quick breakfasts for one or two before hitting the road.

Cuisinart CIT-100 Silicone Tipped Locking Grill Tongs, 18-Inch

Cuisinart CIT-100 Silicone Tipped Locking Grill Tongs, 18-InchI was looking for silicone based tongs since I melted my last rubber tipped tongs in my cast iron skillet. 18 inches is a little too long for me and the silicone tips slip off very easily.

This product would be better if it came in a shorter size and if the silicone tips didn't come off.

Charcoal Companion Silver Chimney Charcoal Starter

Charcoal Companion Silver Chimney Charcoal StarterThis starter does precisely what it is intended to do. It starts coals quicker and easier than the conventional method. Nothing more, nothing less.

After twenty-five uses, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. But I am a little concerned about durability. One concern is that it is starting to rust. I keep it outdoors but it is not exposed to the elements. I don't know if this is common with charcoal starters, but I don't expect to get another season out of it as the rust is progressing rapidly.

Another concern is with the handle. While it was tight and secure for the first dozen uses or so, It has now loosened up. The rivets seem secure, but the handle wobbles. Not a good feeling when you are handling hot coals.

The heat shield and wooden handle effectively work together so that you could use your bare hand, but I still recommend using a high quality glove or mitten as the supports on the handle get very hot.

Overall, it's not a bad starter, but it does have a couple of issues that would prevent me from buying another one. If you have the money, consider spending a little more for a starter from a better known company. Otherwise, expect to get about a season of use out of this one.

For the first few months, it works fine. Does what it claims it will do...at first. Ihad this when I was in the army, grilling all the time. Thought I'd save some money, a chimney is a chimney after all. Well I was wrong, it fell apart on me after a few months of repeated use. The handle dislodged and the entire chimney became unusable. Spend the extra few dollars and buy the Weber, I've had it almost two years now and it is still usable, and in great condition.

This was my first chimney starter. As others have noted it works fine for the first few uses... then the aluminum pop rivets holding the handle and holding the sides together melted! If this would have happened while pouring coals it could have been a disaster! I made a repair using 10-32 stainless screws, then gave it away and bought the Weber. The Weber is much more robust in construction. The additional bail handle is nice to aid in pouring the hot coals and the silicone handle holds up to weather and heat. Get the WEBER 7416 or the larger 87886!

Mr. Bar-B-Q Tough Brush Grill Brush with 1 Extra Head

Mr. Bar-B-Q Tough Brush Grill Brush with 1 Extra HeadThe handle is comfortable and dimensions are good. The brush is sturdy and bristles tough enough to clean the grill. The materials are good, and it is nice to have the hook. The problem is that the head doesn't stay in place when you are using the brush. It falls about every 30 seconds. I may be able to make it work using duck tape (I haven't tried it) but the whole concept of having a repaceable head is that the head should stay in place when you use it.

This is a great brush for the short-term. Have had this 8 months, and though it is helpful to have a long handle, hook to hang it, stainless bristles, they are now falling off on the grill surface. If you miss one, it's like eating a fish bone. Found a bristle this past weekend in a hamburger....

Save your money. Nice that it comes with a replacement pad. But to little avail as both fell out after about three firm strokes on the grill . Very flimsy securing strategy. This one is made in China.....and trust me , this is not their best work . Run , don't walk away from this good looking deal. Tough brush ? ...... no. The worst I've ever owned.

This grill brush is far more sturdy than any I have purchased in the past. Usually, the bristles of the brush flatten and deform after just a few uses with other grill brushes that I have purchased. I grill quite a bit and this brush has made it through an entire grilling season and shows no signs of wear. The bristles are still rigid and on top of that the brush comes with a replacement head just in case. The brush also contains an over sized hook at the end for hanging it up. I highly recommend this product.

Stainless Steel Skewer Kebab BBQ 16" Set of 6 Pcs

Stainless Steel Skewer Kebab BBQ 16' Set of 6 PcsBest set of skewers for sale on Amazon!

1/2 inch wide, thick enough to be durable, with a sharp point. Will last a lifetime of normal use.

A couple of other skewers for sale on here are comparable, but these all steel kebob skewers will allow me to use them both, outside on my grill, and indoors under the broiler of my oven the others I've looked at, and liked, had wooden handles, which make them suitable for use only on outdoor grills.

Great buy.

I researched skewers on Amazon for an hour or so and determined that these are the best skewers available to buy. I bought the 18". After using them 5 times on my grill Weber 4431001 Spirit E-320 Propane Grill, Black I can confirm that they are the best available. I've run them through the dishwasher at least that many times and they don't have one spot of rust. The tips come to a point and are extremely sharp. I've had no problem skewering food onto them.

According to the reviews, these rust:

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Signature Stainless Steel Grilling Kabob Skewers, Set of 6 (3/8-inch Wide)

According to the reviews, these rust and the rack isn't tall enough:

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Stainless Steel Kabob Rack with 6 Skewers

The wood handles on these skewers would get burnt in my grill:

GrillPro 40538 6-Piece 22-Inch Stainless Skewers

I don't think the food will stay in place with these:

Norpro 1934 Stainless Steel 14-inch Skewers, Set of 6

2 negatives: just like all other skewers, they are a bit flimsy. I can't bend any other stainless steel kitchen products that I have, but I can bend these. Also, they are quite wide, which is great for keeping the food in place, but it causes some vegetables to break in half while I'm trying to skewer them on. I don't think I'd have this problem if they were skinnier, though that would definitely make them flimsy.

I think they have these in the wrong category too. They should be in Patio, Lawn & Garden > Grills & Outdoor Cooking > Barbecue Utensils > Barbecue Skewers. Instead they're only in Patio, Lawn & Garden.

We use these until they stop working! Sounds like not a great review but when your BBQing or using them in the oven, they get tossed around and sometimes melted in the dishwasher (by accident he placed it in there) but they work until you have beat them up!

Rösle 16245 Digital Thermometer

Rösle 16245 Digital ThermometerOn the practical side it is accurate. In boiling water it reads 212 deg F (exactly what it is supposed to at sea level), fluctuating only 0.2 deg above and below. It can display in degrees F or C. A backlight comes on when you turn it on, so you can read it grilling meat outside for diner or heating up milk for baby in the middle of the night. It shuts off by itself if you forget. Numbers are large and easy to read. It is fast, reading with a second or so. Temperature range covers both meat and candy temperatures. It is small, no bulky round dial on the end, so it takes up little space in the drawer. It has a loop on the end to hang it up. Stainless steel.

On the aesthetic side it is beautiful to look at and a pleasure to use.

It is expensive, but it cost less than the three cheepos I threw out that didn't work. They were the dial type and when the round part turned on the post it would move the temperature dial all over the place. Easier to justify the cost in terms of perfectly cooked meat, perfectly heated milk for baby, and creamy fudge.

A practical luxury. I use it everyday and love it.

The red backlight automatically shuts off in 10 seconds, but the LED temperature screen shuts off only after out of use for 15 minutes. The measurement time is 5 to 10 seconds. It uses 2 LR44 batteries. Temperature range is from -40F to 392F or -40C to 200C.

Bought this thermometer because of my personal experience with other Rosle products even though there are less expensive thermometers on the market! I figured I probably would not be disappointed and so far I'm not! Excellent product, very easy to use, simple to clean and takes up very little space in a drawer I store mine in a cute little wooden box with my other Rosle tools on my counter. I have used it to check mainly meats on the barbecue and in the oven and it has been accurate every time and meats have been perfect. A bit pricey but then what in life isn't if you buy quality?

Want Rösle 16245 Digital Thermometer Discount?

I've owned about 6 or 7 of this thermometer. We've ruined a couple by mistakenly forgetting and leaving then in the oven, or, when we first started using them, leaving them too close to the side of an extremely hot pan.

That said, if treated with reasonable care, this is an accurate, attractive, handy little instant read thermometer.

The button placement could be better, but aside from that, it's a great little gadget.
