Kitchener Triple Basket Deep Fryer
Buy Kitchener Triple Basket Deep Fryer Now
The Kitchener Triple Basket Deep Fryer is beautiful just to look at. However 10 to 15 mph winds play havoc with the gas burners. Oklahoma on a calm day has 10 to 20 mph winds, A simple mod for a wind deflector fixed the flame problem. The unit is sturdy and a joy to operate. The twin oil cookers hold over 5 gal of oil, and that is plenty for a back yard fish fry. We cooked french fry's, hush puppies, and catfish at the same time thanks to the three basket design. For the money its well worth it. Should give years of service if properly maintanrd and protected.Read Best Reviews of Kitchener Triple Basket Deep Fryer Here
We used this for our BBQ concessions for a recent event and it performed well above and beyond our expectations. We will be making some modifications: (1) will be a wind break and (2) will be a lid. It began to rain in the middle of the event. Rain and hot oil do NOT mix, but for every other need, this was a excellent product.Sunday, July 20, 2014
Outset A902, Replacement bristles for QT40, QB40 & QB45
So now, I am left without any brush. Basically, I can buy the cheapy ones that get nasty after a while and I have to throw away, or I can continue to use my tongs or a spatula edge to scrape of the debris. Maybe that is the right way to address grill debris anyway...a brush will always wear out.
I took pictures of it, I will attach to the review later.I bought one of these for my husband for father's day almost 3 years ago and am just now replacing the bristles. We grill regularly both summer and winter, and like a clean grate :). This brush did an excellent job of eliminating the gook, and has (obviously) held up extremely well. We have had no issues with bristles coming out and a previous reviewer reported, personally.

Seems to work great as long as you scrub twice across your grill, and don't keep scrubbing for over a minute over a hot grill until the plastic base melts.Read Best Reviews of Outset A902, Replacement bristles for QT40, QB40 & QB45 Here

Paderno World Cuisine 17-Inch Stone Grill Set
I had read in other reviews that the product arrived without instructions, but figured that may have just been a problem with those individual stones. Sure enough, absolutely no instructions as to how long to heat the stone, temperature, how to protect your table, how high to keep the Sterno flame, etc. I found general instructions for hot stone cooking online, and followed those. Unfortunately, two long cracks appeared in the stone the very first time we used it! We were using it with guests, and used Sterno beneath the stone to keep it at a proper cooking temperature. The second time we used it was just for our family, and we used it without the Sterno, but it lost temperature sooner than I would have hoped.
I'm still giving it four stars because we enjoyed it so much. But I fear it won't last much longer, and that means I would have paid an awful lot of money per use.
Pros: Lots of fun to use, especially when entertaining; cooks meat perfectly
Cons: No instructions, cracks easilyStruggled to find this product in the United States, so glad to see this on Amazon! It's my go-to Wedding gift and always a hit! We have Hot Rock dinner parties quite often and everyone always wants to know where they can get one. You can't go wrong. Easiest meal you'll ever prepare.

There were absoslutely no instructions included. You don't know how to season it, how do you initially heat it in the over, how you clean it, etc.Without instructions it was a total waste of money. Hence I returned it.

Buy Great Northern Top Dawg Commercial 7 Roller Stainless Steel Hot Dog Machine With Cover Now
Taste: terrific! A wonderful way to prepare hotdogs! Cleaning the rollers is the only negative. They remain stained from the cooking process. We love the machine and are looking forward to future family parties where Grandpa makes grandkids amazing hotdogs!Everything about this unit met or exceeded my expectations. Temp controls are wonderful, great capacity, it's very efficient and easy to maintain. I couldn't be more pleased.I bought this for our concession stand at basketball games. It works great....you don't have to watch it constantly. BUT it is a little awkward to cart back and forth to games, especially with the cover (although the cover is good for cooking out in publc). It's not too hard to clean....you just have to take your time.Sunday, March 9, 2014

I hate that the discription doesn't give the measurements or quantity. I had to order one just to figure it out. Glad I did! This is the grate that fits my Charmglow Grill (2ea. 19 x 12") Heavy Duty Cast Iron Grate. It will last longer than the damn Grill. Season it properly and you'll be able to pass it down to your grandkids.Want Cast Iron Cooking Grid for Brinkmann, Charbroil and Charmglow Grills Discount?
This great is really nice, solid, and fits perfectly on my Brinkmann grill. It is much nicer than the original grate because it has thicker grates so the meat doesn't fall between.Friday, February 14, 2014

We used to have a single non-stick roaster. It was never non-stick from day one, and after awhile, the coating started to peel. We then used foil to wrap the roaster which turned out to be a big hassle and mess.Our new Grillpro is just wonderful. Beautiful design (fold-able) and construction (sturdy stainless steel). The drip pan is a MUST and unlike other brands, is big and deep enough for the juice/fat from the chickens. The handles on the drip pan are great!Plenty of room for 2 chickens, they both turned out perfect, no spillage over the sides of the pan, easy cleanup in the dish washer and stores away nicely. I recommend this product to anybody.

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

Kamado Joe KJFS Fire Starters
Buy Kamado Joe KJFS Fire Starters Now
We have a wood burning stove in our living room and these are wonderful for getting it started. I only use a half of one and it works every time. Really easy to light and burns about 12-15 minutes. We use them in the Kamado Joe "Egg" bar-b-que too during the warm months. They seem a little expensive, but if you've ever struggled with cheapo fire starters, you'll know right away that these are worth every cent just for lack of frustration. Really dependable and easy.I purchased an electric charcoal starter with my Kamado Joe but only used it once. After hearing about these little guys from a friend, I decided to try them out. They light easily and burn hot enough to get even my mesquite charcoal lit up on the first try. Very happy with them and glad they are on Prime! I used to have to keep my propane spare around with my old grill, now I just need to order refills of these when I'm getting low. I just scanned the barcode on my phone app & had them 2 days later.Great starters, no parifin taste and they get the fire going every time. I will continue to use these as I have found nothing better..Thursday, October 3, 2013

Great Northern Popcorn Pit Popper Campfire Firepit Popcorn Popper
The popped corn was great and I will send this one back and get a replacement. I'm really hoping it's a defect in this one popper and the next one will be fine.This product has much potential to be a 5 star product. The quality of the product material, at this price point, is very good far better than others that I compared it to. E.g. I bought a unit at Walmart for about the same price, which was a piece of junk (1 star at best).
Out of the box, this unit is problematic for the following reasons:
1) The connecting point between the handle and the lid is way too loose. In fact, this caused my first batch of popcorn to fall into the fire due to the connecting point coming free and the pan falling out. Yes, I had it connected properly. My recommendation to the manufacturer would be to connect the handle to the pan rather than the lid of the pan. But even with it attached to the lid, it could still use a more precise attachment. There is just way too much slop in the fitting and the little spring steel release actually acts as a ramp for the end of the handle to slip up on and come loose. I had to modify that little spring steel part to get my handle to stay on without falling off while gently shaking it in the fire while popping corn.
2) The lid is a nice idea but it does not secure tight enough onto the pan to hold the weight under it while shaking (not too hard of course) over a flame. Mine came off while popping a batch, and I was being very careful. I had to modify all the spring clips to get them to hold, but even then, they are still not nearly as tight as they should be. The fix, of course, would be what I suggested above to have the handle attach to the pan and not the lid. It doesn't really make sense to have the lid support the weight of the pan, oil, and popping corn below it when the pan itself could be used to attach a handle.
Besides these frustrating things, I really love this concept. The extending handle, the flip lid, the quality of material, etc. are all great and if these problems were corrected by the manufacturer, I think they would have a 5-star product.
I gave it 3 stars because I still think it's a good value for this price. If you are up for a little modification, you will likely have the best open fire popper anywhere close to this price.
Just don't be too surprised if you loose your first couple batches of popcorn due to poor fit. My family got quite the laugh when they watched me attempt to make them the perfect first batch of popcorn with this thing, only to end with that perfect batch end up on fire, literally, in the coals of our campfire. Fortunately, the pan only received a small ding from hitting a rock.

Grillmark Remote Probe Grill Thermometer
- Monitor food temperature remotely.
- Metal probe included.
Long battery life and good transmit distances.
My only wish was that it had dual probes and/or 2 units could
read separately.
Currently I plug in both senders and read them both (multiplexed)
on the receiver. This is a byproduct of how they send and
not (I think) a design feature.
The only problem with this is that you can't set 2 alarm temperatures.
So if you are measuring grill temp and meat temp you can't set
2 different alarm temps.
This unit works much better and is more flexible (with the previously mentioned desire)
than the other units I have tried....Maverick, Webber.....
Buy Grillmark Remote Probe Grill Thermometer Now
We have owned this thermometer for four or five years and have found it to be very reliable. The only thing I wish it had was another "Custom" setting that you could enter the perameters for. For instance, say you want something to be done at 125 degrees. You could set it up to show you that. Yes, you can pick a certain meat temp. that closely matches your temp. and that works too. I think this is a great piece of equipment and I wouldn't be without it, especially when grilling/smoking a large turkey in the cold New England weather!Read Best Reviews of Grillmark Remote Probe Grill Thermometer Here
Bought 2 of these through Holland Grille. Works great about 2 times. Then the probe burns out. I sent emails to Holland but no replyIf there was a zero star rating, that is what I would have selected.... Do NOT waste your money on this product. I purchased it and it worked once out of the box second time (week later) it wouldn't sync. Zero degrees. Had to go back to old manual probe. This product was a waste of time and money. ACE coming back this weekend to return it for my money back!Two models just went to HH. This unit is totally useless. The ACE help doesn't know what this means and just says return it. There probably is a manufacturing problem with a batch if other people are having the sane problemWednesday, August 14, 2013
Emeril by All-Clad E9191364 Hard Anodized Nonstick 11-Inch Square Griddle Cookware, Black
I concluded that the griddles are made differently than the pans, since they're one layer of anodized metal and don't melt like the pans do which have layers of different metals on the bottom. So no one needs to avoid buying this griddle. I compared the quality with griddles at Walmart, and it's heavier and of better quality. The griddle heats up fast and cooked my pancakes quickly, so there's no need to use high heat for cooking.
The instructions that came with the griddle did warn against melting aluminium, but I doubt that those instructions apply to the hard anodized griddles. Perhaps because of poor reviews of Emeril cookware, this griddle was heavily discounted, so the price was excellent, about 50 percent off list price.
I did some research and found the quote below about anodizing, so there's no worry about high heat with this griddle:
"Hard anodizing produces an extremely durable pan that has twice the hardness of stainless steel. This cookware has an extremely long lifespan and can resist abrasion and corrosion. The surface will not chip or peel and it can handle extremely high heat levels without damage to the finish."This is the second square griddle I've owned thus far, the first being an Anolon one which has lost all of its non stick properties and is warped(bowed out in the center area). This one seems to be going the way of the first. The non stick properties are ok so far (as is with most non sticks in the first six months of use), but the originally flat surface has "bloated" up in the center to the point where liquid will run to the sides and cooking pancakes and sunnyside up eggs has become a bit tricky. Might be my fault(or might not be?) as I used it a few times on med-high heat on the gas range to sear meat, but still disappointing for it to warp so.
Also on a purely cosmetic note, the pan looks really cheap(to where I wouldn't have paid its price if I saw it on a store shelf). The handle in Amazon's picture looks shiny(like 18/8 stainless) but in reality it has a dull stamped metal look to it(because it is:). Sure it doesn't affect the cooking but it also doesn't add to buyer satisfaction.
I don't think it's an especially great deal at it's current $25 price.

I have several pieces from this line that were purchased over the past few years and have not been disappointed in any of them. This piece is so light weight. It slides all over my cook top. Not good for baby-on-the-hip, one-handed cooking. Today I was making pancakes on this griddle and realized is had warped. I've had the pan since December and have not put it in the dishwasher. So I'm not sure why it warped. Anyway, disappointed in this piece...My Wife and I received this "griddle" for a wedding gift. We had to return it because of warping....I cook eggs every morning so I used this pan only as my "egg" pan. It survived the first 30 days of cooking eggs. Then it slowly started to warp. It has warped a 1/4" high in the middle. Returning it to Macy's was no problem. BUT now...Macy's stopped carrying it.
I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SUPPORT TWICE to get a required RMA #....So far, it's been two weeks and I haven't heard back from them.
Emerilware should be Illegal....It's simply ripping off the consumer.Emeril by All-Clad E9191364 Hard Anodized Nonstick 11-Inch Square Griddle Cookware, Black.....after a few months of standard use Griddle will NO longer lay Flat on my Glass Top Stove. This is my second Emeril Griddle bought at Dillards both have failed in the same manor so will no longer purchase Emeril Ware. Too bad, quality seemed great but let me down big time.

Black & Decker TRO490B 1200-Watt 4-Slice Countertop Oven and Broiler with Removable Crumb Tray
Pros:
1. capacity--approximate interior height from bottom rack position=3", width=11", and depth=8 to 8.5" (depending on whether use top or bottom rack position)
2. two rack positions for easy placement to top heating element
3. easy to use crumb tray, slides out like a drawer from the front for easy cleaning
4. timer works for all settings, including toast
5. bake drip pan included
6. temperatures marked in Celsius and Fahrenheit
7. good owner's manual
Cons:
1. does not shut off when door is open
2. dial markings are medium gray on black and small, I have to put my reading glasses on to see them (my toaster oven has a black body as pictured)
3. timer is stiff and hard to turn back towards zero for toast--need my glasses to do this correctly too
4. other than the plug, the only thing that controls whether the unit is on or off is the timer which has a stay on position--potential fire hazard. This more than any other reason is why I only rated it a 3.
Notes and suggestion:
1. three prong plug
2. leave unplugged when not in use
3. clean crumb/drip tray after each useThis is a nice, more reasonable sized toaster oven, that does a very good job of grilling and broiling. I wish you didn't have to reset the toaster settings every single time you make toast, though. That kept it from being 5 stars, as I like every thing else about it. The crumb tray is nice and big, and the styling is attractive. It doesn't get blazing hot on the exterior, and has a nice big glass door. But if you are a toast person 90% of the time, I might keep looking.Bought this when it was the same price as a wal-mart Christmas black friday deal....thanks to amazon prime, I received it in the mail 2 days after ordering at no additional expense. It can hold 4 bagels or average slices of bread without having to cram them in and slam the door. This is nice for a family of 6....
One thing I don't care for is the stupid toast dial; I won't use the oven feature as much as the toast feature. Our previous B&D toaster just had a push button; the dial actually sounds annoying and instructs you to turn it fully past dark toast, then back to what you're preferred level should be. Whatever....oh, by the way, if you stupidly leave the toaster unplugged (don't ask, we don't have lots of outlets where this is located), the timer will still run. Imagine my suprise when the timer dinged and my bagel was still white. DOH!
All in all, it's a great value toaster; so much so, we purchased another one as a gift for a family member. Yeah....I purchased the black and decker toaster oven to replace the one I had. The old one was also a black and decker, great features, and lasted 5 years. The new one was not as good. It only has one heating element on the top and one on the bottom whereas the old one had two on the top and two on the bottom. The new one creates more uneven heating. The old one had a pull out shelf, whereas the new one doesn't. This is a hassle because you almost burn your self trying to get the food out. The number one disappointment with the new toaster oven was its size. It was definitely smaller than the old one. It was not less expensive, just cheaper than the black and decker I bought 5 years ago. I would not buy it again!I bought this to replace a standard two slice toaster that quit working...so far it's pretty good. We've only had it about a week so I can't comment on durability but it seems pretty well made. There are a lot of settings and the temperature gets up to about 450 degrees on bake and there's also a toast setting, broil, etc. My only complaint is the evenness of toasting. The topside of the toast isn't as even as the bottom side but it's really not that big of a deal for us. All in all, this toaster oven seems to be well worth the money and is more versatile than a regular four slice toaster.
*****Update*****It worked well for 2 years of almost daily use (sometimes multiple times a day). The top heating element stopped working yesterday so, toasting became a 2 step process. Overall it worked well for what we needed. Some reviews complained of it being too small to hold 4 slices but, as long as you are using normal size bread, it WILL hold 4 slices of bread or 2 full-size bagels. Both are tight but they do fit. It will also hold and cook a Totinos pizza perfectly fine. We never had any issues with the controls either. It preheated quickly and the timer worked well. We originally paid $40 for this toaster oven and now, at half that price, We've ordered it again. If the next one lasts another 2 years, I'll be happy.
