3 Pcs BBQ Barbecue Grill Tool Set - Portable Stainless Steel 3 Piece Kit

3 Pcs BBQ Barbecue Grill Tool Set - Portable Stainless Steel 3 Piece KitI like it but the thongs were not sturdy enough. Other two items work great! Would suggest for a first time grill. Try it out!

This product was not what I expected. With the name "portable stainless steel 3 piece kit", I expected them to come with some sort of case to make them "portable". They came in a regular cardboard box that was very dusty and slightly bent. The tools themselves look decent but this product is definately not what I expected. I don't feel they are worth the money, you could find the same thing for a lesser price at Walmart.

GrillPro 40601 Grid Cleaning Brush

GrillPro 40601 Grid Cleaning Brushwell... i had one of these before and loved it but i think the coils on this one is slightly smaller because they tend to slip through the grill rods... the last one didn't... a little disappointed. it still works, but i need to be more careful.

After finding loose metal bristles in my food and my grill, I searched for a grill brush to replace multiple metal bristle brushes. I found this brush. The spiral design prevents loss of bristles and does a good job of cleaning the grill. If the handle were longer I would give it 5 stars. Otherwise it works great for everyday use.

Eastman Outdoors Model 37212 22-Inch Carbon-Steel Wok Kit with Burner, Spoon, and Spatula

Eastman Outdoors Model 37212 22-Inch Carbon-Steel Wok Kit with Burner, Spoon, and SpatulaAnyone who has tried to wok a family meal might have encountered a few traditional issues on their regular kitchen stove:

the stove does not get the wok hot enough, fast enough and wokking turns into boiling

the wok is not large enough to properly stir fry the quantities

there is no room in the wok to keep food to the side while wokking other items in the center

We purchased this item, not for camping trips, but to be able to FINALLY wok like a Chinese Chef.

The wok gets INCREDIBLY hot and you can therefore not use the wok inside the house safely but it can certainly be used in the garage or on the veranda.

The wok itself is restaurant size: HUGE. Do yourself a favor and find an extra 16 or 14" carbon steel wok (the wok shop has great ones). Since the wok is so large it is very hard to properly season but we did on this actual set.

The wok is of high quality and is guanranteed to get better over time. Now that ours is seasoned nothing sticks!!!! It's as if it is teflon without the harmful teflon non-stick coat ... go figure.

The set is very very stable, i.e. the base won't wobble or hold a grown man if need be. A little bit of assembly is required for the base so make sure you test it for leaks and sturdy connections.

Wifey did the assembly and she broke 0 nails and assembled in 15 minutes.

This item is a cheap alternative to a pro wok-stove like the restaurants use. We love cooking in it and have found our meals to be healthier and faster.

This also comes with 2 heavy uality wok utensils.

EXCELLENT DEAL.

I really value reading user reviews, but have to be pretty impressed or feel totally ripped off to write one. All aspects of this product seem excellent. The burner is rock solid and as powerful as everyone says. The power is not overkill, it is essential to it all working well. The tools and wok are high quality. Having abandoned my first wok experiment, an electric wok years ago, and approximated stir frying on electric stoves since then, I am delighted to say this is the real deal. I thought the wok itself might be way too big for a family of four (usually three). I bought a 16 inch wok expecting to use it more often than the included 22 inch wok, but I find the 22 inch wok is much easier to cook most things. The extra depth keeps all the spattering away from my arms and clothes and the space on the sides is great for holding cooked food out of the high heat used while cooking. The tools rest securely on the wok sides while you reach to add more food to the wok. I bought a 16 inch northern style wok with a long handle, but suspect it will take a while to figure out how to flip the food using it instead of using the excellent long handled tools supplied. Things cook so fast that I have not yet gotten comfortable with this flipping method, but I intend to master it.

Every book I consulted said to stay with the carbon steel wok. I went that route so I haven't tried the stainless steel version. I am very happy with both carbon steel woks. The seasoning on the burner was not hard and the natural non-stick surface that results from use works well.

The only issue is cleaning the beast. The 22 inch wok is too big to easily wash in the kitchen sink. It is possible, just not easy. Dumping the first batch of wok cleaning water (with a fair amount of food bits) into the yard when I wash it outside with a hose seems crude, green perhaps, but something done in the middle ages, not in todays burbs with neighbors close by. I am working through the cleaning issues and am very happy with all the pieces.

The clip does not hold the thermometer in place securely while deep frying is my only complaint. I can't figure out how to keep it in the oil without it slipping and resting on the wok bottom while stirring up the food. I am going to make a small bamboo support and see if that solves the issue. We almost never deep fried things in the past, but felt I had to try it out while test driving the unit. This seems like an excellent way to deep fry, being outside is safer, the depth of the wok keeps the oil where it belongs, and the power lets you keep the oil at the right temperature no matter how much food you add. The next learning adventure will be to figure out how to deal with the oil. A lot of meals with something deep fried also include something else cooked in the wok, so just what do you do with a wok full of hot oil?

If you are a caterer or own a restaurant,then you probably can effectively use the 22" wok. I loved the idea of a huge wok, but failed to anticipate the challenges it brings:

1. I couldn't season it in a standard oven. I had to resort to using the burner to season it by turning it. It was a laborious experience.

2. I can't easily clean it in a standard sink. Good thing I'm cooking next to the hose.

Get the 18", or search Amazon for "Wok Shop" and get a 14" or 16".

Other than that, after spending 1/2 a day manually seasoning the wok, I've just cooked the best fried rice of my LIFE.

Plus, now I can do serious high heat cooking w/o sending oil/food into the air in my house.

The Eastman party wok is a great addition to your outdoor cooking equipment! Set up is easy, although the adjustable legs can be tricky to release the first time. The top-grate can be flipped to handle stock pots or the wok. The burner has a lot of firepower, and can bring three gallons of water to a full boil in under five minutes!

We did a Thai food cookout for about 70 people. The 22" wok held about 5 lbs. of noodles (good for 15-20 people) without a problem. We made four batches of Pad Thai in under 15 minutes. We prefer the mild steel wok (better heat transfer) although there is a stainless steel version available.

The unit is powered by the standard bulk propane tank used in many outdoor grills. The legs can be collapsed, making the unit easier to carry.

Overall, very satisfied. Looking forward to many enjoyable outdoor adventures with this unit.

YEAH!! I love this! I live in the boonies on the Oregon coast and I can't get natural gas here, so I have (gasp!) an electric stove. My own personal tragedy. Life was so gray, and then THIS came in the mail! Cue the rainbows and time-elapse blooming flowers. Wahoo!

I love the 22" wok. Yep, it was too big to season in the oven, but the husband took it out in the carport and hung it up and torched it with a weed burner. He could've very easily just done it on the Big Kahuna burner, but this way he had more fun. I googled "wok seasoning" and learned alot before I did it.

Yes it makes stirfry as good as a restaurant. When you cook at night, you can see the flame and judge how hot it is but you can't see it in the day, so memorize the sound of the flame or how far you twist the gas handle to recreate a certain temperature. This thing ROCKS! I think everyone should have one. I highly recommend it.

MaxiMatic EGL-3450G Elite Cuisine Countertop Grill with Griddle, 13-Inch

MaxiMatic EGL-3450G Elite Cuisine Countertop Grill with Griddle, 13-InchI had to send this same grill back to another store because the handle was broken. But when I saw this one with the griddle also included I had to try it again. This one also had a broken piece to the handle, but I managed to fix it, and happy to have kept it. It has been a pleasure to use.

I have grilled chicken, steak and fish in the first week, I liked it so much. This electric grill is slotted for air and it gets hot enough to give a nice browning like a gas bar-b-que does. The pan below it catches the drips. I added (as instructed) a half cup of water to the lower pan and everything was easy clean up. Easy cleaning and browning was my goal and this grill did really well.

I don't really like the G. Forman type grills, so was happy to find this electric open grill that can move inside or out, instead of gas grilling, yet on the sink indoors! I set it outside my door by a close electric outlet when grilling fish so the smells stay outside. Worked beautifully!

The griddle is an added plus, and they both will go in the RV perfectly. Lightweight also, and I hope it lasts because I really found what I was looking for.

Flat Cast Iron Frying Pan / Pancake Griddle / Skillet

Flat Cast Iron Frying Pan / Pancake Griddle / SkilletGreat little pan, perfect size; holds/makes enough yet easy to clean. Well made, solid yet light. I did not season it before I used it, it appeared well seasoned and was! I really like this pan. You can make breakfast, pancakes, crepes, etc. Buy it!

Eggs and pancakes stuck to the pan surface. The rough surface is okay for bacon if one does not mind splattering grease. However, that was just a test as I don't eat bacon and I may have cooked the bacon wrong. When I do cook bacon for others, I use my George Forman appliance and the bacon comes out perfect every time. But eggs stuck to the pan until I spent an hour smoothing the surface with a stone and drill grinder. Eggs then had a metalic taste until I learned from the Internet how to season it. No instructions for use or care came with this pan. I since bought a like pan that has a smooth, milled surface and after I seasoned it, I made the best tasting eggs I have had since I was a kid. I am giving away this pan to Purple Hearts Vets, Good Will, or the like. All this is just the subjective opinion of one 72-year-old man from Rhode Island now living in Maryland. My mom had a cast iron pan and as a kid, I cooked delicious pan toast aka 'Texas' toast but using regular bread and margerine. That was in the 1950s. One of my six elder sisters took the pan after mom passed.

Flat Cast Iron Frying Pan / Pancake Griddle / SkilletNo instructions for use or care. Was not preseasoned My own seasoning did little to remedy the problem of the cooked product sticking like glue to the pan surface. May be okay for bacon, but definitely not for cooking eggs or pancakes unless you don't mind having to spend 5 minutes scouring of the remainder off the cooked product adhered to the surface of the pan.

Sportsman CICS8 8-Piece Cast Iron Outdoor Cookware Set With Carrying Bag

Sportsman CICS8 8-Piece Cast Iron Outdoor Cookware Set With Carrying BagSo yeah, I did get the set, it came in a very cool bag that is sturdy and has a specific place for each piece which is awesome. My problem though in pulling out the cast iron is it's soooo rough! It's so rough you can't wipe it down with a paper towel w/o pieces getting stuck into it, same with a towel, covered in fuzz! Soo, I'm going to use 80, then 120, then 220 sandpaper and get these smoothed out then re-season on low in the oven a few times and see if I can get these to be more usable. I bought these to avoid this process with used pans, by the way, so I'm not happy about it. I'm sure after a little (or a lot) of elbow grease and some constant use these will be fine. But still, be warned, these aren't your grandma's quality cast iron pans. If this is to be a camping set for infrequent use then this might be the set for you, but if you're looking for a nice set to keep forever and use daily, keep looking.

She love's it and it was pre-seasoned,ready to use,Loved the carry-bag.It was best value I found while searching.Dutch oven was bigger than most sets+ extras.
