Weber Style 18902 Barbecue Apron, Brown

Saw this model in my local True Value yesterday $20.00, which at the time wasn't priced to make me pull the trigger. It is basically a redesign of their Weber 6474 Barbecue Apron, Black $10, Two medium sized pockets right in front with an adustable neck strap; meaning...the side strap and the neck strap are all one piece, you pull on the side to make the neck smaller and vice versa. The old Weber 2 pocket looked really "blah", black with a red kettle, but this new model looks classy with the Weber logo bordered by two pieces of gray accents.

The material is light weight which is perfect for summer time grilling. I have the Weber Style 6452 Barbecue Apron which is more heavy duty and perfect for the cooler months. I grill atleast twice a week and have noticed that my current apron feels a bit heavy in these 100deg hot summer days. Now seeing this on the lightning deals I'm definately jumping on it to save the $10 over the Retail brick and mortar price.

My only design wish would have been to include a pocket for a probe thermometer. I'm gonna have to get the wife to sew on a small piece of fabric to hold it.

I bought this for my husband. We are happy with the quality but the color was much lighter than it looked on the computer screen, and not in a good way. I wouldn't say it is a nice looking apron. It is almost the color of a caramel candy. The apron itself is a lighter brown than the brown trim (on screen it looks like the faux leather trim is lighter). The weight is good stiffer than a woman would want but good for a man. Just keep the color in mind if you order it.

This apron is light and handy to have around. It has pockets on the front to put gadgets in to free up your hands while grilling. High quality.

Fully adjustable in the neck, and big enough to fit around the waist of a real BBQ Chef. It's made of heavy-duty material, but not so heavy as to be uncomfortable. It's very functional with great pockets. Great value.

This was one of the gifts to my son. He loved it, and noted that it's a bit heavier duty for barbeque jobs. The pockets were looking pretty handy also.

Big Mouth Toys The Grill Sergeant BBQ Apron

Just another great product with more than one use! First off, let me start off by saying that this apron comes with it all! The first thing that caught my eye (which is hard to believe) is the camouflage pattern. Secondly, I love how many pockets it has, it makes me feel like I'm Batman. The apron comes equipped with 6, count 'em, 6 can pockets. This is the area where you can store all the beers you plan on drinking for that one grilling session. I'm over here asking if 6 will even be enough for me while I cook hamburgers for twenty minutes! Next to the can holders, comes a neat little spot for a can opener. You never know when your beer won't open and you have to whip out the can opener. Below that are the pockets for all your spatulas (in case you want to do double burger flipping). Next to the spatulas are salt and pepper shaker holders, and also bottle holders. In the picture, you can see that the rough-looking grilling man is carrying his Ketchup, mustard, and what ever is in the brown bottle (probably ground up meat, that he made from his Meat Handlers). And on the very right of the apron is a bottle of Windex; you never know when some Windex will come in handy, especially when you're out barbecuing. Now, yeah this is an apron, but I've found more uses for it. I figured I would take it with me when I went grocery shopping, and it was better than a cart! You just stick all your groceries in the pockets and you're a walking grocery cart. And better yet, it won't even look like you are stealing because of the camouflage design. Another clever way you can use this is when you're taking a shower. Right after you finish shopping, you take the groceries out and fill the pockets with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, loran, etc. The best part about it is: you don't have to take off the apron; all you do is slip right out of your clothes, without a hassle! I also like that when I'm done with my shower, the apron acts as a shower robe, and it dries me off in a jiffy. These are the ways have found my grilling apron useful, and would love to know what other people have figured out with theirs!

Its a one size fits all, it looks really durable and not cheaply made. Everyone will complement you on it. Its fun and its the only apron that I could find that looked manly, the beer holders are awesome. you will not use all 6 at once because they will get hot if you are grillin, but the one on top definitely; great to know where your beer is at all times. All the extra pockets are plenty helpful.

Only downside is if you have more than one beer, the weight will make it sag a lot, but like I said before, you will not have all beers there unless you are chuggin'!

Foreman Grill 3 Burger

Super Champ Limited Edition First impression: We've cooked fish and chops so far. The grill officially heats up in 5 minutes but actually seems to heat up in 3 to 4 minutes according to the orange light on the lid. The owner's manual says to open the lid after cooking with a pot holder. We didn't need a potholder. You MUST put a kitchen towel under the grill to catch cooking splatters. The grease catcher does catch all of the grease coming off the bottom grill. I think the bottom grill gets hotter than the top grill. You are warned to not unplug the grill with the orange heat light on to avoid sparks. I unplugged the grill with the orange light on and didn't see any sparks. The book doesn't say to use or not use a product like PAM. My dear wife's attitude is if it doesn't say use it then don't use it. The little spatula is very handy. The grill cooks very quickly. The grill uses 800 watts.

I have been using this product for a few years. I keep meaning to replace it with a better one.

This grill does the job as far as cooking, but cleanup is a hassle. The juices don't drip neatly into the plastic collecting tray. The juices miss the plastic tray and flow across the bottom of the unit, dripping onto the counter. It makes a considerable mess.

For my next purchase I will pick one with cooking plates that can be removed for washing. It should have an efficient system for collecting drips. I've been looking at the Cuisinart. Not only does it have removable trays, it has a variable heat setting.

Update May, 2010: I ended up buying a Cuisinart grill at Costco. The ability to remove the trays and scrub them is a big improvement. Dripping juices are captured more readily. A temperature setting is great for my Trident salmon burgers. The cooking instructions specify 350 degrees at 5 minutes. The Cuisinart cooks them to perfection.

Don't be lazy about cleaning your grill. The grease tends to bake on, so cleaning after every use is best. Wipe down the unit. The special George Foreman sponges available at Target or on Amazon are perfect for scrubbing the plates. Run the plates through the dishwasher. Put the sponge in the dishwasher too. They'll stay like new.

Just after you unplug the grill after cooking, pour a small amount of water across the bottom grill. Be careful; it will turn to steam quickly while it's loosening any stuck-on drippings. Then, using a wadded WET paper towel, wipe the top and bottom grills clean. Again, be very careful not to burn your fingers--those grills are mighty hot. The manufacturer would rather you wait until the grills are cool, but my way works fast and cleans thoroughly. I do love this appliance for the way it cooks burgers (80 percent lean), boneless chops and boneless chicken breasts (the latter two marinated first). Good size for two people. Would buy it again.

We received this grill as a present and loved it at first. It was great for bacon, sausage and burgers. Trouble was, the non-stick coating soon started coming off. We took good care of it and only cleaned it with the plastic spatula and paper towels. Searching for a solution turned up lots of similar complaints too. Save your money and buy a different brand!

Want Foreman Grill 3 Burger Discount?

I had been skeptical about all of the George Foreman grills until I tried this one. It works great. I've had it and used it every day for 6 months and the coating is fine. Not sure why one reviewer had trouble with the coating. I use Pam for grilling fish and it's great. In fact, it cooks fish faster and better than anything I've used before. The first time, I overcooked the fish thinking it would take longer. I followed the enclosed recipe for marinated veggies and they were delicious. For the price and size, it's great. I think removable plates would make cleanup easier. And sometimes I want to cook more than one thing at a time. So, I'm looking at the larger models right now. I'll continue to use the Champ for smaller items or one-item meals.

Vintage Faberware Rotisserie Grill Indoor Hearth Broiler INCOMPLETE

I have been using this Rotisserie for over twenty years and my Mom had one before that which she used for at least as long. It makes THE most tender, delectable, juicy, flavorful chicken you will ever put in your mouth with a delicious crispy skin that is also out of this world. (Yes, we eat the skin, but we watch our saturated fats elsewhere in order to enjoy this delicacy)

A few years ago my Mom bought me one of those "Set it and forget it" enclosed Rotisserie ovens. It does not make anywhere near as good a chicken as this Farberware Rotisserie. It cooks it faster so it is not as tender and because it is enclosed the skin does not get crispy.And cleaning it was nearly impossible! I gave that Rotisserie away, and now only use my Farberware.

Also there is a grill piece you can put in so you can grill steaks, porkchops or whatever you want on it. I rarely use this, but occassionally if we're planning to grill and realize we're out of charcoal we'll use this to grill our steaks. I gave this Rotisserie to my stepson's mother and they grill on it quite often!

The way I fix my chicken is to put it on the spit and while it is turning sprinkle it liberally with garlic salt, lemon pepper and paprika. (The paprika also helps to give it a beautiful brown color)

I usually get a chicken between four to four and a half pounds and cook it for three and a half to four hours depending on the size.

You can also cook cornish game hens, and tomorrow night for New years I am going to cook a duck on it!

The only drawback as far as I am concerned is that because it takes so long to cook, you do have to plan ahead to be home for several hours before you plan to eat.

Usually soaking the parts in warm water for a few minutes is enough to soften the baked on spatter and a toothbrush helps to clean the small hard to reach areas. A few sprays of oven cleaner will help to loosen any stubborn baked on spatter.

Our dogs also LOVE it when we drizzle the drippings left in the bottom pan over their dog food!

Also, my first motor lasted over ten years, and the one I have now is still going strong after another ten years. Since they're relatively inexpensive I have a spare just in case this one ever gives out and they have been discontinued.

As you can probably tell I can not praise this appliance enough. And generally I am not an appliance person and can not stand having to clean things with multiple parts. But this is well worth it. And once you taste a chicken off of it I think you will agree.

I just bought a replacement for the one I used for over 20 years. No rotisserie offed today will do what this model will, too bad they quit making it. I was glad Amazon was able to put me in touch with someone who had a used model. In years past I've cooked turkeys, duel chickens,boneless pork roasts but the best is a beef rib roast with garlic and rosemary! Everything was always better cooked on the rotisserie.

I had one of these originaly, but it disapeared. When I finally found this one, I bought it. Although it was advertised as "used" I could not tell it. It is as remembered and I love it. I don't know why Farberware stopped making them because they are teriffic.

Anolon Advanced Bronze Nonstick 11-Inch Covered Deep Round Grill Pan

As with other Analon cookware I own this grill pan does not disappoint. Whether you are cooking on the stove top or finishing something in the oven with it this pan works great and creates those awesome grill marks we all like. As with other Analon Bronze Collection cookware the best part about this pan is the cleanup! Nothing sticks to these pans and hand washing them is a breeze. I definitely recommend this product!

The last time I purchased a set of cookware, I bought the entire set and then wasn't happy with it. This time I decided to purchase just one piece and see how I like it, BEFORE purchasing an entire set and spending a lot of money on something I don't even like. I will be buying the entire set of this cookware!

Fissler CookStar Induction Pro Portable Cooktop

I have been using my Fissler Cooktop for about a year now. Clean-up is easy it took me a while to master the settings to avoid boil-overs. It's all good now. (I cook everything at either a setting of 3 or 4 after an initial warm-up using the 30 second Booster button).

Let me back-up a moment and describe this unit. This is a self contained counter top cooking device. It plugs into a standard wall outlet and requires the type of cookware that a magnet would stick to the base. This requirement rules out copper and aluminum bottoms. I believe iron may be used, but I am not totally sure.

The device uses inductive power to induce heat into the pan, not by a traditional heating element. Part of the advantage of this is when the unit is shut off after use it has no heat of it's own. When the cook surface warms up, it is from heat induced in the pan sitting on top. This unit will not operate or create any heat without a steel bottom pan sitting on top. This is a nice feature if you live in a hot climate (like me in Phoenix). The range in my apartment (Whirlpool) has a black glass top with with what looks like rings of red LED's below the glass to heat pans. This large range takes forever to boil water and stays hot for almost an hour after shut off. Compare to the Fissler unit that boils water fast and does not retain any heat when shut off. With this Fissler cooktop I can make spaghetti in less time than my whirlpool range can even begin to show visual signs of warming in the same pan of water.

The controls are all touch spots on the top near the front. To operate you need to enter an intensity number (1-9) and a countdown duration in hrs:mins. Touching the spots to enter the settings is slow, the unit cannot accept rapid touching, a measured pace must be used perhaps one touch per second. I believe the unit starts to operate before all the settings are entered, which is a nice feature. There is also a quiet internal fan that starts once the power button is touched. You can change the intensity setting while running. If you wanted to enter a large cooking time number you press and hold down the up button and the numbers rapidly scroll upwards. There are other button features not covered in this review. I suspect it may be a bit fragile, as it came packed in a box in a box in a box. I doubt it would survive a quick trip from counter to floor. It appears to be designed so boil-overs will not penetrate the unit and destroy the electronics. It is not dishwasher safe, cleans up with almost anything.

This cooktop is larger than it appears in photos. Three inches tall, 14 inches front to back and 11 inches wide.

Pros: fast, economical, good looking, no residual heat when shut off, count down timer, easy to clean, short burst booster mode.

Cons: slow button input, easy to boil over, don't leave anything sensitive to magnetic fields nearby (credit cards, cellphone, TV, prosthetic arm or hand, etc), pan must stay on the unit when cooking or it shuts off.

Would I buy it again? Yes! There's two reason for not giving it five stars; too expensive, and button entry is slow and frustrating at times.

UPDATE: been using this for a while longer now. Boil-overs are rare for me now and I am still amazed at how fast it is compared to my whirlpool range, which hasn't been used since this arrived. With this unit I can have a bowl of spaghetti cooked and on the table before my range would even have tiny bubbles show, using the same sauce pan and same amount of water.

Update 2012: I have been using this for about three years now. Not much has changed. I am still very pleased with this counter top cooker. I use it a couple times a week. I clean mine with windex wipes and it comes out shinning with little effort. It functions the same as it did the day I got it. When I moved into this apartment I went into the breaker panel and killed the power to the 220v outlet for the stove, placed this one over the top of one of the heating elements and have never used the large appliance! I also use a broiler oven and Cuisinart soup maker. I prefer these smaller appliances to the large one because living in Phoenix makes you aware of how much heat you create in your apartment.

This portable induction stove is near perfection,the looks are a wow from everyone who sees it.easy to clean..i scrub it hard without worries..still not one scratch,must be some new ceramic,glass,crystal?still looks brand new,amazing quality.Fast,fast,fast,steady temps,fan is quiet.. hold down the buttons and your flying thru the temps and times.I have this feeling from the way it's been designed and built that the manufacturer CASO and Fissler will be around to honor the warranty if i ever need it.This definitely isn't engineered to be a throw away product like some.

I also have a Fissler pressure cooker that works a treat on this induction stove.I'm looking at other fissler products,

i'm impressed with this company.

Well it's March 11th 2012 and the Fissler induction is still going strong..i use about 3x per week.no problems.Very impressed.

I've had my cooktop for about a month and use it as much as possible. It's not entirely perfect, but I prefer to use it over my gas range.

THE PROS: It heats up quick, does not remain hot to the touch after use, and boils water like lightening (less than a minute for 2 cups). It is easy to clean and is stylish. I really like the keep warm feature. If you have a dish that has gotten cold while trying to prepare the rest of the meal, you can put it on the cooktop and reheat it in literlly just 1 minute. It has a couple of safety features which are both pros and cons. The dish must remain on the cooktop for it to work, if you lift the dish up the cooktop turns off. Kind of annoying but prevents anyone from getting burnt since the dish heats from within and the surface does not remain hot. It also has an automatic shut off for boil overs. Again, good feature but then you have to reset the temperature and time.

THE CONS: It only works with ferrous pots/pans, meaning if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the dish it will work. The temperature is controlled by numbers 1 through 9 and the buttons are slow to respond when increasing the temperature. When you put a pot on the cooktop, you have to first set the temperature and then set the amount of time you want the cooktop on. It would be nice if you didn't have to always set a time but on this setting you can hold the button down and it will speed through the numbers quickly so it doesn't take as long to set as the temperature.

Overall, I would recommend this cooktop. I have never used another cooktop so I can't compare it to other models but it's a nice alternative to my stove. It has made it easier to time my dishes so that everything gets done at the same time. By setting the time for each dish you prepare, you become more aware of how long it takes to cook things.

I ordered a first one and it had a chirping sound to it. The sound was irritating. Other than that the unit worked fine with all the advanatages of induction cooking. I returned that unit and received a replacement one from Amazon in less than a week. The 2nd unit did not work at all. I returned that one as well. I guess if you are ok with a buzzing or chirping sounds coming out of your cooktop you might be ok with induction cooktops. That seems to be a consistent with other reviews from different brands. I was using Fissler or WMF pots which were labeled "induction".

I contacted Fissler customer service and they were very helpful by the way and offered replacement as well. I decided to send it back to Amazon , however , for a refund.

I had been looking at various induction cooktops, and this one seemed the most durable and built to keep. I know the company Fissler and their pots and knives are professional-grade. So, I though the CookStar Pro would be what I'm looking for. Sure, some of the others were cheaper but I wasn't sure they were up to the quality of Fissler, who I trust. Now that I've used it, I find it really easy to use, easy to clean, and it looks great on the countertop! It hides away easily when I'm not using it and is super fast.

It sure beats the old griddle that I had before!

I'm so glad that Fissler makes an Induction cooktop. You will be totally blown away by it. Much much better.

Le Creuset 10.25-in. Square Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan, Black

My husband had expressed a wish for the LeCreuset enameled grill pan prior to Christmas. He had seen it used on Food Channel shows, and thought it would really improve his cooking. He's tried it several times since Christmas, and is extremely pleased with the pan. He likes the "grill marks" on the meat, the even distribution of heat across the pan, and the easy clean-up.

I wish it were bigger! Otherwise this pan will last you a lifetime and grills perfectly and evenly and the price reflects it. I highly recommend it.

Weber Baby Q (Q 100) Portable Gas Grill

Summary: Easy to assemble, easy to start, great grill marks, easy to clean, size is medium (4 steaks or 12 thighs) seems small till you open the lid.

Assembly: Simple: Attach lid w/2 pins, screw handle on lid, slide cap on regulator, then slide in grease pan.

Tip: I really urge you to buy a hose adapter and hook up to a larger tank, but if you have to use smaller tanks it uses the long 14oz tanks sold in the hardware department, or remove the outside screw to the tank holder ring and bend it out so you can use the regular 16.4 oz tanks from the camping department.

StartUp: I am still amazed, turn regulator knob to start and push the ignitor and it lights up!

Break in: None..but the grill is NOT nonstick, Just wash the grill before the first use. (It is coated to prevent rust, not to be non-stick), so use oil on the food. Heat up the grill first for 10 or 15 minutes to get hot and oil grate to prevent sticking. I talked at length with Weber about the cooking grate and you do not season this grate!

Cooking: Anything you want to cook fast, GO HIGH...burgers, steaks, shrimp...great grill marks. (I just couldn't make a good steak on a portable gas grill until now). Great taste! Anything else, GO LOW...dogs, brats, potato wedges, corn on the cob. Always cook chicken on low or skins will burn and stick. You can also just mix the oil in with a marinade.

Flare up: Almost none. I intentionally cooked very fatty thighs and got very little flare up, but did get lots of splatter making the chicken turn dark, but it cooked off. Just trim a little...

Clean up: Just scrape, burn, and scrape grate again with brass bristles. If that doesn't work don't be scared to just wash it. For the inside I just scrape down towards the bottom with a piece of cardboard so everything falls out the bottom hole into the grease pan. This is very handy.

It stays cool underneath! BBQ on any surface!!!

Hello again, it's been 18 months since I did this review and after being abused all summer and winter and another summer it still works the same as the first day! I've used mine 2 or 3 times a week in the summer and at least once a week for football and NASCAR. I heat my grate for 10 minutes, brush it, take it off and spray it with a garden hose (every time), heat again for 5 minutes then spray with oil and still not one speck of rust. How you clean yours is up to you, all I'm saying is it's virtually rustproof.

TIPS: I put it in a plastic storage container with all the stuff that goes with it, then put it on the pontoon boat, take it back out and bbq right on top of the plastic container! Who needs expensive carriers when you can buy a wheeled plastic storage container and use it as a bbq table too. I also put a little thermometer on the front top, drill one hole and it screws right on. Oh, and one last thing, I only used $27.00 of propane the whole time (3 tanks)..how bout that!

Three years and still goin strong. I haven't replaced anything!

My other BIG Charbroil Gas grill has since rusted away and needs new grills and drip plates.

Four years and I still haven't had to replace anything. It still works as good as the day I bought it and the cast iron porcelain-enameled cooking grate still has NO RUST!

Five years and I still haven't had to replace anything. It still works as good as the day I bought it and the cast iron porcelain-enameled cooking grate still has NO RUST!

Seven years and still works great. Even the electronic starter still works. I bought another one on clearance from a lumber store because the box had a hole in it for $129.00. I took my seven year old one out to the back yard and washed it and sprayed it with Krud-Kutter all over and got most of the grease off. Took a brass brush and cleaned the burner good opening all the holes back up and spent about 25 minutes really scraping and brushing the grate and it still heats up to 500 degrees in about 15-20 minutes. I finally got some rust on the grate by leaving it out in the winter for a week with no cover and one of the few times it snowed here the grill was open. Just clean it and oil it back up. It works as good as the new one. I have thermometers on the front top of both of them and they work identically. I may take a video of both of them for you.

If small spur of the moment gatherings are your thing then this is the perfect grill for you.

Here's why:

1) Its small size makes it a very portable grill thus allowing you and your peeps to escape to the beach or hang out in the alley behind your flat to enjoy some "flame kissed" cow product.

2) Its small size makes it perfect for burgers and dogs for 4-6 friends but if you are cooking for a backyard full of friends and family you may want to consider a larger grill.

3) I own this grill as well as Thermos' "Grill-2-go". The "flame kissed" burgers that this "baby-q" churns out are much tastier than the G2G's greasy rendition of the all american beef patty treat.

Buy Weber Baby Q (Q 100) Portable Gas Grill Now

First of all, gotta give Amazon their just creditordered on Feb 2nd, and received grill on the 6th using Super Saver shipping. Can't beat that.

I'm a former professional chef and I wanted a grill that would work well, but didn't need a larger(and much more expensive) gas grill. I have a commercial smoker, a deep fryer, and a 4 burner cooktop that I use more often than I grill, so a big monster of a grill would just take up space and use more gas for the 10-12 times a year I would use it. The portable grills I had tried in the past were all cheaply made and suffered from poor design which led to flare ups and burning. I was hesitant to go with the Weber, but took the chance based on user reviews I saw here and elsewhere. I'm glad I did.

I opened the box to find a very nicely constructed grill made out of quality materials. Assembly took all of 3 minutes(just attach handle with 2 screws and lid with two cotter pins, then drop grill into place). Heavy cast iron grill for good grill marks over well designed burner system. Very nice so far. I attached grill to 20# tank using adapter I also ordered which lets me supply the Weber from the same tanks I use for the other cooking equipment. Adapter dosen't require removal of anything from grill so you maintain total portability if you need it.

Grill fired on first push of starter button, and after about 5 minutes of pre heating I threw on a couple of burgers. Cooking went well with minimal flaring, and the cast iron grill gave great marks just like in the pretty pictures you see in magazines. It has only seen the one test cook, but this grill is well worth the money IMO, and I believe it has a great future on my deck. The size is ample for 4-5 ribeyes or 2 large T-bones or maybe 8+ burgers. This is fine for me as my grilling is usually limited to 2-4 people. The Weber Q is the Baby Q's larger sibling and it is slightly larger if you need the extra space.

Only possible concern you might have is your need for a side burner, smoker, or rotisseree attachment if you don't have these needs otherwise covered. But for pure grilling, I see nothing to complain about with the Baby Q.

I had one problem when my grill arrived that I'd like to share. After unpacking and attaching a 16oz propane tank, I attempted to fire up the grill. A note on the grill said it could take several pushes of the igniter to actually get the grill going but after about 10 pushes, I still couldn't see a flame. I read how the flame was hard to see in bright daylight but the smell of propane was getting stronger so I turned off the grill immediately. Weber recommends you wait 5 minutes to let the gas disperse from the burner before attempting to light the grill again so I did just that. 5 minutes later, I try my 2nd attempt and nothing happened.. again. I used a lighter to force the grill to lite and that worked like a charm. But I was still bothered by the igniter not working initially.

I decided to call up Weber's customer service number and spoke to a very kind lady. She told me that she can guarantee that the problem involves a piece of the igniter unit not being lined up correctly with the burner. I thought it was a faulty igniter but since the unit was brand new, that was highly unlikely. Anyway, I got off the phone only after registering my grill with them. 24/7 customer service is a great idea although for a company that primarily makes grills, I thought it was pretty much overkill; oh well, more power to the consumer. After the grill had cooled down, I removed the grate and scrutinized the alignment of the igniter piece with the burner. Right away I could see things weren't lined up correctly so I got a wrench, loosened the burner and fixed everything accordingly. I replaced the grate, turned on the propane and on the first click, the flames came on.

Compared to my previous grill which was a Coleman Roadtrip Party grill, this grill is a vast improvement. There are no hot spots and food appears to cook evenly just like everyone else says. I now wish I can use it everyday to prepare my meals; who says I can't.

Want Weber Baby Q (Q 100) Portable Gas Grill Discount?

I've owned several other portable grills (Grill-2-Go, $20 propane grills), but this one is by far the best. You know it is something special when it arrives fully assembled except for attaching the lid.

The cast iron grilling surface makes those great searing marks and lets the food cook evenly. The regulator on this grill really allows you to adjust the size of the flame (unlike cheaper grills). The drip pan is also great and replacements can be purchased at local hardware stores.

We use this grill with our RV and it is the perfect size for our family of 3. I don't see how we could use the full size Weber Q --the baby Q is more than large enough for us.

Kudos to Weber!

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

So 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.

George Foreman GR144 144-Square-Inch Nonstick Family-Size Grill, Silver

We have used this grill now for about a month and are very satisfied with it. We've used it for full chicken breasts, pork chops, chicken breasts sliced in half, hamburgers, bacon and much more.

I have to say, that this grill has made cooking a snap for our family. The larger surface area is the key on this, as every meal we've prepared on it has been for a family of four.

However, there are a couple of things that keep this from a 5 star product in my opinion. First is cleaning. It's not very user friendly, and paper towels are hard to get in between the valleys. You can use a sponge, but then your sponge is pretty much dead after a couple of uses. They give you 2 spatulas that we've begun using to scrape the dry matter from the grill. Secondly is that there is no temperature control. Just plug it in, wait 8 minutes for the grill to heat up (I think it heats up a lot faster than that, however, the manual does say to wait 8 minutes) and hope you have the right time set for your meals. The instruction booklet does give recommended cook times which we have found to be way too long. Just tonight we cooked 4 .25lb hamburger patties in 5 minutes and they were well done. Lastly, it does not cook bacon very well. The strips near the top always burn, while the strips near the bottom don't seem to cook very well at all. The bacon itself tends to settle down in between the cooking area so the top doesn't really touch/cook the bacon from the top. It probably cooks it more by radiant heat on the top than direct.

All in all, we are very satisfied with this grill. Just be prepared to make mental notes on cook times for foods you like and use their initial cook times as a guide until you figure out how you like your food cooked.

Got this George Foreman grill as a gift. Promptly grilled sausages last night, bacon this morning, a panini this afternoon and hamburgers this evening!

It's a super versatile appliance heats up rapidly, cooks food evenly and swiftly. I like how it comes with 2 drip trays to catch all the fat you won't be eating! Also the two spatulas are helpful. Will be using this constantly! Can't wait to try salmon, veggies, etc. Only drawback short cord but understand that could be a safety feature. Love this grill!

Good size. Good layout. Better than the rounder grills. This is my fifth big grill from George. If ever one needed a variable temp control, this is it. This sucker is HOT compared to the other Foreman grills. The grills have a drip channel around the grilling surface which is most useful when cleaning. For some obscure reason the engineers didn't extend the outside channel ridge on this model around the back. When cleaning the top if you drip any liquid it runs onto the counter. This is the only one I've seen with this unfortunate feature.

I LOVE my grill. I've been using it every day for about a week and a half now and I get delicious results every time. I've made sweet italian sausages, steaks, pepper steak, chicken, burgers, tortillas and grilled veggies.

Cleanup is a pain if you don't clean it right away and you let it sit. For example, I let the grill heat up for about 6 minutes, dropped two steaks and as they sizzled I grinded some salt and pepper on top. I then dropped the top lid and let them sit for about 3 minutes gorgeous grill marks, crunchy crust and perfectly medium rare. I served the steaks and after we were done eating...I went to clean it and the 'crust' that develops from spices and juice was stuck and difficult to clean. I used a soft sponge and turned the unit back on so it would release the gunk easier. I got it cleaned but I managed to rub off some of the teflon. A small 1 inch section of it.

Since then I always grab a paper towel and right after I remove the food and and turn it off, I remove anything on the grill plates with the dry paper towel. I then take the grill (unplugged) and lean it over the sink and use a wet paper towel.

I would have purchased one of the models with removable grill plates but there were too many complaints of the plates not heating up enough, this one is just perfect once you get the hang of it.

It would have been 5 stars if the teflon didn't rub off so easily.

***Update***

5 Months later and still the best :) We used it about 3 times a week, sometimes more and have no complaints.

****Update 2****

It's been 1 year 5 mos and the plastic black handle broke yesterday...really not sure why it broke since we're not hard on it and have been using the grill once a week, sometimes once a month. I suppose the heat weakened it over time? We plan on using it still but with a pot holder.

I bought this for my mother. It is our family's first George Foreman grill, but I couldn't imagine what use the regular size one would have unless you are living alone and cooking for just yourself. Within a few days after buying it my family has already made bacon, chicken, and steak on this grill, and it's been great.

Product looks nice and my deputy sheriff son-in-law seemed to really appreciate it.

Since it was a Christmas present and the weather here has not been right for outdoor cookout he has not used it yet.

Looking forward to spring and summer cooking.
