Charcoal Companion Non-Stick Vertical Poultry Roasting Wok

To fill in the blanks a bit on this roaster......

1) It has a non-stick surface making clean-up relatively easy. Just make sure, like with any non-stick cookware, that you use wood or plastic/rubber utensils and cleaning gear.

2) The device has its own canister for any liquids you wish to use. It has an extension as part of the canister that's perforated to let the steam saturate a larger area of the bird's inside cavity. I've not tried it yet, but am going to soak hickory chips in the canister ahead of cooking and then use a smaller amount of liquid. I'm hoping it will smoke the bird from the inside as well.

3) the base is perforated to drain away fats but lets enough remain to help baste any vegetables or other foods being cooked.

4) you want to bake indirectly with this, so plan on banking your coals to the sides of the grill. We used ours on a traditional Weber kettle grill that has baskets for the coals for indirect cooking.

5) cooking times are going to be dependent upon the fire and the bird's size, so use a meat thermometer and place it in a deep section of meat where it will read a core temp rather than surface.

6) there was plenty of room between the bird and the cover on our Weber kettle. Another style of charcoal grill might be different.

7) have a platter ready for when the cooking is done. Since the bottom of the roaster is perforated, it will drip grease anywhere you go if you just try to carry it. So, set the cooker, bird and all, on a platter to move it.

This is a nice improvement over the "beer can" method. It's sturdy and supports the bird nicely. The handles, when used with hot pads or mittens are, well, handy. It's a nice accessory for less than a $20 bill.

I've used this gizmo now 4 times 3 chickens and one small turkey breast on my gas grill. When I first got it, I didn't think the so-called "non-stick" coating was going to work very well, but I was surprised to see that I could scrub off the baked-on crud with an ordinary dish scrubber and some soap and water pretty easily. I'd say it takes about twice as much effort as, say, a Silverstone pot used for spaghetti sauce.

Stores pretty neatly too just lay the smokestack on its side and it fits on the shelf in less space than a fry pan.

As for how it works, I've never used any other kind of vertical roasting device so I have no idea if there are better ones out there. But this one seems to work just fine! The cup capacity is only about 6 ounces, but there is always leftover beer or orange juice (my favorite) still in there after the bird is done cooking so I figger the cup size is big enough.

This is an easy way to cook chicken on a grill. The bird comes out juicy and tender and didn't take alot of the cooks time to prepare. This product deserves an A+ in my book.

I ordered this in 2007 and just now had to dump it (4 years later) due to the non-stick finally giving way and the metal rusting. I used it so many times that I lost count! Mostly used in the oven, I sat it on a pan to keep the juices from dripping and then just seperated the fat from what juices I wanted to use. Really delicious meals, and SUPER simple to use.

I injected the chicken with flavorings, chopped up some carrots, parsnips, onions and potatoes (and seasoned), then roasted everything together. The veggies may be roasted whole or chopped largely so as not overdone. I used the juices as a dressing for the meal or for gravy, but it doesn't need anything added very tender and moist. I will be buying the stainless steel version this time ) because I want the next one to last even longer.

I love the dual uses the holes allow the fat to drip away while seasoning the veggies just enough to keep them moist, but healthful. It is wonderful on the grill for roasting smaller cuts of veggies with or without the chicken. The handles are a must when setting on a tray in the hot oven/grill!!! Very helpful most other ones do not have handles. I did a lot of research to find the right roaster with all the features that I wanted. This one is also easy to clean and store because the well/vertical part lifts off.

This one is a great value for seeing if you like a vertical roaster and how often you will use it.

After the first use, before we even washed it, the non-stick coating was peeling off the wok. We returned it to Amazon who made the return as easy and quick as possible. I wouldn't buy the wok again (I'm going to buy a stainless steel one instead) but I was very pleased with Amazon's processing of the return.

Discovery Products Carbon Off Cleaner (19-Ounce Can)

We have used this product in our restaurant for some time. The kitchen staff loves it. Reduces their cleaning time and keeps the equipment looking like new.

This is an excellent product even if the shipping is expensive. It is very corrosive if not handled properly so therefore it is more costly to ship. It does its job extremely well.

Buy Discovery Products Carbon Off Cleaner (19-Ounce Can) Now

This is a good product for removing heavy baked-on residue, but the aerosol package is the wrong delivery method. Because it is very corrosive you have to be careful not to get it on anything other than what you are cleaning and this is difficult with the spray can. Generally that means putting it on newspaper outside in order to spray it. Next time I will purchase the brush-on version which will make it much easier to use.

It would be helpful if the product information indicated, as the can does, that this is not to be used on Calphalon cookware. I'm sure I'll find some use for it, but I did buy it to remove build up on my primary cookware, which is Calphalon.

Like the "Grease Bullet" that Billy Mayes sold, the claims for this are highly overblown. I tried this out on three cleaning jobs and found it to be NO better than the spray oven cleaner from CostPlus/ I gave this a try with a French steel fry pan, a commercial aluminium saute pan and our barrel type BBQ/Smoker.

First, the can of Carbon Off I got sprayed VERy eratically and would frequently plug up, which made for a really slow process. But on the thte cleaning

The steel pan had a modest amount of carbon built up on the inside rim and a fair amount on the outside. Starting with a warm pan, I sprayed the interior and exterior, leaving the pan to sit for 8 hours before going after the crud. The result was a pretty good loosening of the stuff on the interior, even around the rivits, but it had a hard time with the material around the lip. LOTS of hand scrubbing to lift it off.

The aluminium pan was much dirtier, but came clean faster. However the botrtom, where the stuff had been baked especially hard barely moved. A real waste of time and materials.

The smoker worked the best and the Carbon off took off a lot of acumulated smoke, grease, oil, soot, and other crud.

Overall, I got 5 pans cleaned and the BBG (it is a small one) for about $13. Not a really good deal.

Tayama Electric Barbecue Grill

This 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.

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!

Lodge A1-410 Sportsman's Grill Cover

I never thought I would write a review of a grill cover, but Amazon dared me! Here's the skinny. The cover fits tightly but it is a tad short to cover the legs all the way down to their tips with its strong elastic edge. No big deal, the cast iron legs are not in danger of rusting out. I've had mine out on the patio in the Kansas sun for two summers and it has faded to a gray color on top, still black on the bottom, no big deal from my view either. But one little annoyance is that the seams on the fabric (all the way around the top edge when it is on) leak. So in a heavy rain water will drip inside and lead to surface rusting. That kind of defeats the purpose of the cover. This can probably be solved with the use of tent seam sealer. Are there awards for this kind of vital, investigative consumer reporting? The grill is great!

(Husband writing review:) I use my Lodge Sportsman as often as possible, but sometimes it still has to go into storage for a while. This is a rugged cover that is custom fit, and I appreciate how much cleaner my grill is when I pull it out. Keeps the dust and cobwebs to a minimum; keeps the rain out if you forget and leave it outside. It's well worth it if you're going to invest in the grill.

I got both the grill and this cover last week. Contrary to what one of the reviews says here, it fits perfectly with no shortage at the bottom. I have provided my own photograph at the top of this page that shows the cover on my grill. The elastic at the bottom of the cover allows it to pull tight UNDER the feet of the grill allowing very little chance of rain getting directly on the grill. You're still going to have to put up with the possibility of rust on the grill simply from moisture in the air, but at least it won't be raining on it.

The funny thing about this grill cover is that it is incredibly flammable. Even after you've dumped the coals and any remaining embers out of the grill, the (little bit of) heat retained by the grill itself may be enough to melt the cover beyond usefulness. I've had to buy three of them for this reason. It would be better if it was less plasticky, but, for the most part I like it and it does the job.

Char-Broil 4985132 Replacement Scrubber Heads for Char-Broil Brush Hawg Grill Brushes, Pack of 2 Pa

I'm glad I found these after I found the Brush Hawg at a salvage store! And, the replacement bristle heads. I've always held onto prior brushes too long and sometimes gotten metal bits in food from grill because I was using brush past the time I should have thrown it out. Not anymore. I have spares of both to go with a handle that is strong and slightly flexible and holding up to time and use and year-round outdoor weather. THESE should keep the grill clean and brush parts OUT of food because I'll replace the heads at appropriate time because I have a replacement at hand. Good price and good shipping. I hope these are available for a long time.

I bought the handle several years ago, with replacement heads, but the heads were accidentally thrown out. It seemed a shame to throw out the substantial handle also, so I was glad to find the replacement heads at Amazon. My grill has porcelain coated racks that are damaged by wire scrubbers, so these heavy duty nylon scrubbing pads are the only kind I'm supposed to use. They don't last as long as I'd like; a hot grill can do some damage to the pad.

Kings Brand Red 6-Slice Toaster Oven- Toasts Bakes Broils Grills Roasts & Warming Oven

This Charcoal Kings Brand toaster oven was purchased for baking items especially pizza for which the oven has the extra rounded back to accommodate a round, 12" pizza pan. The oven seems to be very well made and the controls offer many options from baking to warming with a timing bell to signal when baking is done. Everything I have baked so far from pizza to cornbread to potatoes has turned out great. It is energy efficient compared to using a full size oven with an added bonus of less heat produced in the kitchen. I love the oven and would purchase it again for myself or as a gift.

Circulon Contempo Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch Round Grill Pan

You can't go wrong with Circulon. It is just the best cookware ever. No burning or scorching, easy clean up, even if you burn your food to a crisp, just let it sit and peel off the burned food, wipe and keep on going. All the productswell cookware I use end in "LON". I have been using them for years. If the food begins to stick and you cant just wipe it clean, fill your pot or skillet with vinegar, water and baking soda warm it and let it sitrinse and be ready to use it again and again and again, if I could give it 10 stars I would.I had another stove top griller and the food was sticking too much, so I decided to search for the "lon" ware and found it.

I love this pan! It makes it so easy to cook up healthy dishes. I was very surprised that it actually leaves authentic looking grill marks on the food. I never enjoyed cooking on or the food cooked on the Foreman grill. Even though you are not supposed to use the highest heat with these nonstick pans this one still does a good job of searing and sealing in juices. I have only had it a couple of months, but now I really would like to acquire more of the Circulon pans. The pan cleans very easily, and I am faithfully complying with the care instructions, but according to some other reviewers this is apt to change with long-term use.

This is my third Circulon grill pan. Mine last about five years before they become so grungy they have to be replaced. They work wonderfully until then and okay when they are grungy (reduced nonstick effect). My Circulon pans that aren't subjected to as much abuse as this one are ten and still look and work very well but I fry up fake burgers in this one constantly and they seem to leave buildup that won't come off after a while. It's much lighter than the previous one.

i am about to buy another one, maybe my third, i've been buying pans like this for years, possibly including other brands but same light weight grill pan style. Unfortunately, for me, the pan doesn't last very long. I started using this one new last September and now i'm buying another so it's lasted less than 9 months, but perhaps that is my fault. Having had this experience before on the other similar pans, I have been what i thought was very careful to wash it thoroughly each time i used it, to make sure it looked just like new when i was finished cleaning it. I've been careful not to scratch it. This went along fine for many months, and then, at some point, it became hard to get it clean. It gradually but steadily got harder and harder, the same thing that happened with previous ones. But i replace them because i like them so much. While they are working, they do a great job, i love the lightweight aspect of them, and they clean effortlessly-until they don't anymore. The one i have now has just gotten to the point where it's impossible to get all the residue off of it, so i'm replacing it. At least they are inexpensive. i would hate to buy an expensive nonstick pan and have this happen. But i don't hesitate to buy another one because i like using them. The other reviewer said their pan lasted 5 years. If i could get 5 years out of one, i'd consider that a great deal. I have tried to follow the care instructions for the pan, but somehow i haven't been that successful. Still i love the pan.

Weber 6620 Original Spatula

I love everything about this: a long reach to get everything on a large charcoal grill; good feeling heat resistant handle; angled handle to keep your hands away from high heat; light weight. If there is one concern, which after six months still has not materialized, is its durability. Being made of thinner gauge aluminum (don't get me wrong this is not tin foil thickness or anything it's just not as thick and heavy as some of the older ones I purchased years before) I don't know if the metal will bend too much at the point where the neck bends away from the spatula end and meets the straight handle portion. So far all is well.

I love this spatula! I BBQ about 2-3 times weekly, all foods-meats, vegetable, bread, potatoes. This tool works great. Nice heft, long handle, easy to clean, nonslip handle, hook for hanging. The handle is about 13.50 inches long and the head about 4.75 inches x 3.5 wide. (The hook is included in the dimensions on the website). The handle is about 1.5 wide at its widest point. You can see I am obsessed with dimensions, its so hard to judge online sometimes!) It weighs about 9-10 oz.

Weber 7404 Cast Iron Griddle

After much confusion over which griddle would work with my new Summit 670 LP Grill I finally contacted Weber directly who told me that the 7404 was the correct product. Weber offered to sell it to me but as I'm an Amazon Prime member I could not pass up the "free" 2nd day shipping I could get direct from Amazon on this product.

This is a very heavy porcelain enameled griddle that is reversible (you can see both sides of it in the product photo). I gave it a very light and fast wash with some dish soap and warm water and then dried it thoroughly.

The first time I used the griddle I gave it a heavy spray of olive oil and let the grill get up to about 400 degrees. I have observed you will get very fast and thorough heat by applying direct burner heat under the griddle as well as turning on a different burner to medium temperature for ambient heat.

Made some fish on this and it came out wonderfully (I used the textured side for the fish and there was no fall apart of the fish as is typical when being cooked directly on the stainless grates on the grill itself). I really look forward to using the smooth side of this for making breakfast items, fajitas and other things that will cook great on the grill.

Clean up is a bit of a headache as you must take the heavy griddle off of the grill, bring it into your kitchen and clean it up. Arguably if the griddle is well seasoned you can just give it a quick wipe down with a cloth.

So why only 4 stars? Well, the griddle fits the grill so tightly that you actually can't put it at either end of the grill, due to the bolts on the back of the grill pushing the griddle forward just a bit so you can't close the lid of the grill. You need to scoot the griddle a couple of inches over to clear this bolt if you want to close the lid (which you probably do).

The other issue I have is that there is no good way to store this. It would have been nice to see something like a liner, etc, that could be used to encapsulate this so you could store it in the grill cart. If you just slide this in it will scratch up the finish on your grill, you don't want that!

All in all this is a reasonable value for money paid, it's a great addition to your Summit 600 series and makes even more flexible cooking on the grill possible.

There are other griddles here at Amazon that should fit the S-400 line, but in fact only this one does.

Heavy griddle, excellent cooking. I replaced one of the two grates with it.

Some folks complain about the weight, but you need a griddle to be this massive to properly cook. As usual.

This is a nice griddle. I recommend seasoning it on the oven, not on the grill or it may cook your oil instead of seasoning the skillet. It works well, arrived with no defects, warps, etc. The only thing I would like to see is a slight slant to the oil drain. When you're cooking bacon, the skillet is flat: therefore, you have to manually pull the grease toward the drain not a huge deal but could be fixed.

Want Weber 7404 Cast Iron Griddle Discount?

I love to grill veggies. I've tried 3-5 different grill baskets to hold veggies and each have their own problems can't shut the grill cover, impossible to clean, etc. A friend uses a griddle and suggested I give it a try.

Overall I'm very pleased with it. I am giving it 4 stars because there is only 1 drain hole (at 1 end, in the center) and there is a raised edge around the entire surface. When I load this up with veggies soaked in a marinade the excess marinade can't easily run off and instead ends up being charred. I do need to re-level my grill so it's angled so the drain hole can act as a drain...apparently my grill is tilted to the left so the drain hole doesn't do its job.

One side of the griddle is flat, which is the side I always use. The other side has cross hatches which would be perfect for searing meats. I don't use it because it is a hassle to try and flip a hot griddle mid-grill session. One side for steaks, the other side for veggies

Yes, I should probably use less marinade but I'm too lazy to measure the 'just right' amount. Plus I like to have it run onto the 'flavor bars' or whatever Weber calls them as I trick myself into believing it makes the food taste better.

If you use dry rubs or use marinade sparingly, then I'm guessing you'll rate this a 5.

Nordic Ware 365 Indoor/Outdoor Stuffed Burger Maker and Patty Press

This product shouldn't honestly have ZERO stars. It is a piece of crap plastic that does not make stuffed burgers. No matter how much pam you spray, no matter what you do, beef will get stuck inside it and you will have to dig it out. Once you finally get somewhat the shape of the top, you're supposed to make another one. Then there is a sealer on the other side but I promise you, does not work. You can't even get a decent square burger out of it. This was a waste of money. Don't buy!

DON'T Spray with Vegetable Oil, it didn't work. Burger gets Stuck. I tried wax paper on top and bottom, the burger didn't stick, but the paper didn't give enough and the "Stuff" side impression was too Shallow.

What worked:

I laid down wax paper.

I made 4 oz meatball, using a kitchen scale.

I laid a sheet of Glad wrap over the meatball and pressed "Stuff" side down.

Hold the Glad wrap , peeled off the press, leaving a burger well, with some extra burger edges.

After adding cheese and onions on one side, topped with a second "Stuff" side, covered again with Glad wrap and used the "Seal". There was some extra Burger edges than I smooshed into the burger sides with a table knife.

Cooking took longer than a regular burger, I used indirect heat and verified it was done with a thermometer. A few Burgers leaked out some cheese, but it was delicious!

I look forward to more stuffing experiments.

There are two pieces in the box, one piece is the two-sided stuffed burger press and one piece has a round burger press on one side and a small square, perfect for sliders on the other. Use the Glad Wrap for those presses also.

I like that it's made in USA. Nordic Ware should have really included some better use instructions. I went to the web site and it was not helpful.

The Big Woody - New All Natural BBQ Grill Scraper

I was one of the unlucky ones who got a wire bristle stuck in my tongue while eating that had fallen from a wire brush. After I got finished choking and got it out, I decided I would never use one gain. I saw these at the Minnesota state fair and had to try it. It was a great decision.

After using the scraper a few times it burns the grooves into the wood to match your grill grates exactly. It cleans with ease and best of all, no wire bristles flying around getting in your food. Try this scraper and you won't be disappointed.

I grill with my family a lot and needless to say, that means I have to frequently clean both of our grills. I have always used a wire brush, but I felt like it never cleaned the grill well enough and with all its use the brush gets clogged with smelly grease and our grills are showing wear from using the brush.

I was sceptical of 'The Big Woody' at first but my wife wanted to get it because she heard about it and needed an easier way to clean the grate so she could grill pizza. I am really glad we got it.

It really does what it claims, the grill is easily cleaned, no messy brush and I don't need to worry about harming our grills.

I would definelty recommend it if you enjoy grilling.

Calphalon Simply Calphalon Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum 13-Inch Grill Pan

I have owned my fair share of indoor grills, from a Foreman grill to a really heavy grill pan which I ordered through Amazon. Not too long ago I recently acquired the Calphalon grill pan because my Foreman grill is too small if I want to cook a piece of meat and some vegetables at the same time. Plus the black coating on my Foreman grill is wearing out. So I bought the Calphalon grill pan when it was on sale at a local department store. I haven't been able to get enough of it. It is so easy to clean even when I had cooked a piece of meat that was marinated in Italian dressing or in my own concoction of ground fennel seed, garlic, shallots, and extra virgin olive oil. The marinade will of course stick to the grill which is expected however cleaning it off the grill pan was so much easier than my last grill pan which was heavy and difficult to clean because it wasn't non-stick. I also like using the Calphalon grill pan because I can cook both the meat and vegetable (say asparagus) at the same time. The results are fabulous. I get those wonderful grill marks and grill taste. Although it is a bit big for this apartment dweller, I still consider this grill pan the best of all the indoor grills I have owned. Well worth the money too.

I have had this pan about 2 months now and have put it through it's paces. I too bought it based on the Cooks Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen PBS Show) review, I like their analytical approach to testing and cooking, so I trust them.....and they were right. The concept works if the grooves are wide and wide apart. Let's get one thing straight here first, this is not a "grill like flavor" producer, it "enhances" the food with a grill like taste. I will use it mostly in the winter when I can't get to my Weber grill outside, but I will use it year around for veggies, chicken breasts, and pork chops for sure. Burgers and steaks are better on an open flame, but this pan is awesome to grill zuchinni, eggplant, anise, tomatoes, etc. They come out much juicier than on the open heat and flame of an barbeque grill, plus you can keep a closer eye on them inside the house as you prepare a meal. As for chicken breasts, it's very good as well, I never really saw the advantage of barbequing chicken breasts outside because you would have to over-cook them to get any real disernable taste from it. But on the grill pan, they come out great, perfect grill marks, good flavor, and you don't get that slightly tougher outside that makes it difficult to slice if you put it in a salad or pasta dish. Pork chops are good in this pan too, I usually give them a quick grilling in the pan before I put a sauce on them and finish cooking them in the oven, they retain MUCH MORE juice in the pan than on the BBQ grill. Clean-up can be a challenge, but like they said on America's Test Kitchen, if you buy the George Foreman 'grooved' scotch pad (hard to find!), it's a snap. It's built well and I know it will hold up for many years. In closing, look no further, this is the pan to buy if you want to grill inside.....PS, 4 stars because it doesn't "REALLY" grill like the outdoors!

I chose this pan based on the Cooks Illustrated review, and boy do they know what they are talking about. This pan is awesome! I've used it to grill fajita strips and steaks and it works perfectly. Beautiful grill marks just like on a real grill, great conduction so it heats up evenly all the way across the pan, and the nonstick surface makes it clean up super quick and easy. One of my favorite pans! Highly recommended.

I'm a vegetarian so cannot comment on the ability of this pan to grill meat, but I can tell you this it is an absolutely *fantastic* piece of cookware!

I cook a lot, and turn to this pan quite a bit. It heats very evenly, is truly nonstick (w/o need for a single drop of oil), and clean-up is an absolute breeze. Since it works so well, I'm no longer just using it to make omelets and scrambles.

I've had Circulon for yrs, and like it a lot but some types of food (e.g. eggs) tend to get stuck in the grooves. So that was my main reason for buying this pan. It has far exceeded my expectations. I'm slowly going to transition from Circulon to Calphalon as my budget allows. Thanks amazon for a super buy on this pan.

I'm a grillin fool now:)

Does an excellent job of cooking with grill marks. Easy cleanup. Wish they made the same grill pan in a 9 or 10" size. Would probably use it more often
