Porcelain-Coated Cast Iron Cooking Grid for Brinkmann Grills

Porcelain-Coated Cast Iron Cooking Grid for Brinkmann GrillsThe cooking grids are good, slightly loose fit but work great. I have rebuilt my Brinkmann Pro 2600 4 times now in 12 years. I'm just glad I can still cook with it. The newer grills do not seem as sturdy.

The grids arrived quickly and look great. The finish is fantastic and they are heavy weight, quality replacement grids. The size is as described.

Looked everywhere, including the Brinkman site only to find nothing. Good old Amazon seems to have just about everything you need so wala, I found it. The price was reasonable, shipped quickly and is a perfect fit. Hope it lasts 10 years, like the original one did!

GrillPro 15020 43-Inch BBQ Roasting Fork

GrillPro 15020 43-Inch BBQ Roasting ForkIt arrived in a long thin cardboard box which was bent and the fork was too.

I emailed to them what happened and they immediately sent a replacement and said to keep the first one. No complaints!

Tines are quite thick, I had thought it might also work for marshmallows but don't think it will.

George Foreman GRP106BPP 360 Electric Nonstick Grill with 3 Interchangeable Grill Plates, Platinum

George Foreman GRP106BPP 360 Electric Nonstick Grill with 3 Interchangeable Grill Plates, PlatinumI bought this grill and used it all the time until my fiance put the plates back onto it wet and turned it on, shorting it out. It has a large cooking surface and the fact that it can make quesadillas and pizzas unlike the other models is a huge bonus. Removable plates are awesome. I have never had an issue with them falling off, I've never been burnt by it, and though it may take up a lot of space (I don't think it takes up all that much) what do you expect with a large cooking surface? We've looked at all the other grills available to us and didn't want any of them. We wanted this one again and I can't wait to get it :)

I cannot believe what I just read in previous review. Burn your hand? Technically you can burn or cut yourself doing just about anything on the kitchen.

This grill is doing an amazing job every single day. It's the second foreman grill I've owned and the only reason I'm no longer using my older one is because I had been using dishwashing soap to clean it and eventually it ruins non-stick surface. I didn't know this. I make pizza on my new grill every weekend, just buy some whole wheat crust, throw some veggies and chicken breast and grill. I haven't ordered pizza ever since I got the grill last year. If you're fitness competitor, bodybuilder or just health conscious person, you will be able to make your meals "fun" and never even crave any of that papa johns junk. I've made quesadillas on my grill, too, just to try.

Best part about this model is being able to remove the plates, thoroughly wash them in a sink and put back on and make sure they are hooked up PROPERLY. This is really not hard at all, unless you're mentally challenged...

Clearly, I am huge fan of the product.

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)The [[ASIN: B002VHEMJA George Foreman 360 Grill]] is a disappointment. The product has some great features, such as a large cooking surface and interchangeable plates. But more affordable Foreman models are equally as good for grilling. And the griddle pan doesn't perform well enough to make this unit reliable for baking or cooking with it.

PROS:

++ Good for grilling beef or chicken

++ Interchangeable plates add versatility, allowing you to also bake, sauté & toast

++ Large cooking surface allows you to prepare meals for more people at once

++ Oversized drip tray to catch the run-off of fat & juices (must incline the unit in grilling mode)

++ Design allows for add-on plates, like the George Foreman Heart-Shaped Waffle Plates

CONS:

-Alternatives also grill well and are more affordable

-The unit requires a lengthy clean-up and setup process, both initially and after each use

-On high heat, the hinge can expand & tighten, making it hard to open

-The baking plate doesn't marry with the top plate or get hot enough to cook well

-The plate mounts allow too much play, creating a risk plates can detach

-Plates are not marked to ensure you install them the correct way

-Non-stick surface shows wear quickly & likely won't last long

-Cleanup is a challenge; food tends to stick to the grooves

-Large footprint; you have to use it sideways on most counters to fully open it

-The hinge doesn't rotate enough to float for thicker items like it's supposed to

-Heating up takes a while, especially for grilling which requires the highest heat

-Quesadilla plates aren't included with this version (though it's a small loss)

-Large items like pizzas take too long to cook

-The manual says the plug should be grounded, but it's not

-No included storage to protect the unused plates

-Oversized handle is clumsy

-Cord is extremely short

THE ALTERNATIVES

Even though it's a good grill and sandwich press, I think the appearance and performance of the Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler is better for that purpose. And if you want a Foreman grill and want to save a little, there are tons of more affordable options like the George Foreman GR20B Family-Size Nonstick Grill or the George Foreman 3-in-1 Panini Press, Grill and Griddle.

CONCLUSION

This grill might work for you if you primarily need a large cooking surface. But it has too many serious flaws to recommend it. Look into one of the alternatives instead and avoid this model.

Happy shopping.

This is a really good grill a time saver and makes great food. But I am really cautious when using it. The plates are removable but does not secure properly. Even if you secure it properly the top plate might fall and burn you when you open the grill. I've burnt my hand real bad once. And today this thing almost burnt me again, the top plate became loose again.

Just becareful. It might work in the beginning. But trust me. It will burn you one day real bad, the top plate will fall on your hands when you least suspect it. It might be better to get the one with the non removable plate.

National TV Products Countertop Multi-Grill with Removable Grill Trays, 9-Piece

National TV Products Countertop Multi-Grill with Removable Grill Trays, 9-PieceThis piece of junk broke after using 1 time. The second time it completely shut off in the middle of using it. There is no trouble shooting in the owner's manual. There is no "800" number to call for help. There is no website for help. It is a simple and easy piece of junk; just doesn't last.

I just received this grill in the mail and have not used it yet. I ordered it instead of a George Foreman grill because it has removable plates. However, I just read in the owner's manual that IT IS NOT SUITABLE TO COOK RAW MEAT! This information was not clear to me before I purchased it. I assumed that since it was a grill I would be able to cook meat. I may be returning this product as cooking meat was the main reason that I bought it.

Proctor Silex 59738 Handheld Blender-150 W-White -by PROCTOR SILEX

Proctor Silex 59738 Handheld Blender-150 W-White -by PROCTOR SILEXI am using this blender for almost 5 months now and It is working good. It is a basic blender for doing litle jobs. Good for blending soups, gravys and shakes. Though, I wish it should have included some cup too for mixing. I have given it 4 stars, because I have used a Braun blender in the past, that was the best. But even this one isn't that bad.

StufZ Burger Press

StufZ Burger PressI'd like to think I know my way around the kitchen. I followed the included instructions. The second burger attempt on my first outing using this brand new burger press ended in disaster.

The plastic snapped in multiple places on the product. The meat I was using at the time was never frozen and I had left it out for a bit prior to my maiden run just to be on the safe side that there wouldn't be any issues with a difficult pressing.

All and all . . . very very disappointed with this product. Perhaps if it was constructed of different / better material, it would be a winner. Unfortunately, I got one burger pressed for my 20+ bucks. Expensive lesson. Please learn from my experience and seek a different burger press....

First off, yes this works as advertised, however...It feels cheap, the design has some flaws-such as when you go to push the center ring (to make the pocket) the outer ring wants to press down as well. The lock on the outer ring could have been a lot better! While this product is fun, its not practical. When we decide to have burgers for dinner I want something quick and easy...this takes too much work to make a set of burgers. I also didn't really care for the burger. It was stuffed with cheese and bacon, and with the first bite, a hole popped in the rear of the burger and most of the filling oozed out the back. (pretty messy) I would only recommend this if the price was under $10.

I was hyped-up about this product based on seeing it in action on GrillGrate's website, but it was a major disappointment to actually use. I have to echo other criticisms that I've heard such as it's too flimsy and too much work. Also, something that none of the instructions warn you about--you have to use a ton of ground meat (fill the bottom cup up to near the top) for the press to work properly. I planned on making a 1/3 total lb burger (split into 2 portions), but that was not enough to make the pocket work. It didn't even work with a 1/2lb! It is much easier just to make stuffed burgers by hand without this device!

This product looks convenient but it takes more work to form burgers with it then just doing it by hand, don't waste your money

Very impressive shotgun lighter. The butane flame is quite adequate and last a long time. It is so easy to use and lights each time with good consistency. I think I figured out how to replace the flint in this unit.

Kishu Charcoal Pitcher Stick

Kishu Charcoal Pitcher StickI live in Washington DC and our street water comes from the Potomac River. Yup what they flush in Cumberland or Harper's Ferry Maryland is what we get served to drink in the Nation's Capitol.

During dry Summers the faucet water gets visibly cloudy and even smells, really disgusting.

Your choices are to buy bottled water or use a good filter.

Being urban I do not have a car so I have to carry everything from the grocery. Bottles are a nuisance and expensive. And aren't those plastic bottles some kind of oil petrified in a state hat doesn't bio degrade well anyway? So I use filters. I have Britta and PUR.

With Britta I have to guess when they are used up plus half of the Britta pitcher is the "drip tank." So for the given volume you get half as much water.

The faucet mounted PUR is handy and has a light to indicate when it is used up. How does it know? Anyway both are not inexpensive and both result in tossing more plastic.

I learned about the Kischu from a news story I stumbled on on a Denver television station. I bought a couple and tried one out.

I use a covered pitcher really a non-PABA water bottle.

I pour my glass of water then add new and put back in the refer.

I drink over a gallon of water a day and after 3 months I have boiled it once.

( It began to look grayish until boiled )

Seems to work fine, no bad taste and the water is clear and no plastic to carry out!

I recommend.

I put my Kishu stick in my stainless steal water bottle that I take with me every where. No need to buy water in plastic bottles ever again. Thank you for such a perfect solution!

This is an elegant and simple to use system for purifying

tap water. It's also esthetically pleasing when used in anKishu Charcoal

attractive glass bottle, such as that shown in the photograph.

It was for me the intelligent move after using the bulky and

expensive plastic Brita system for all these years.

I started using Kishu about 6 months ago. WAY COOLER THAN A BRITA! My friends love it, no BPAs, and its got character. I just drop the charcoal in any pitcher I want and I'm good to go for a few months. I know the Japanese use products like this frequently (I saw a whole store devoted to different charcoals when I was in Tokyo). I'm surprised more people don't use it in the States. It's just so much more unique, inexpensive and flexible than any of the mainstream products currently on the market. And it does the same thing just as well, if not BETTER.

We enjoy drinking from this elegant pitcher that provides clean, filtered water. So much easier than the multipure that needs to have the filter changed. Thanks for the easy use of Kishu Charcoal.

Whirlpool WF183SM1 18" High Velocity Stand Fan

Whirlpool WF183SM1 18' High Velocity Stand FanI do indeed use the rotating axle mode most of the time. The tilting head is very sturdy and a real bonus for a standing fan to point down. I use an air compressor to clean the fan so its not a problem but access to blades could be considered difficult. I find it oddly attractive for what it is. Its industrial design is softened by clean lines and attractive finish to all the components. I will buy another one soon.

This fan is much better than the regular oscillating fans at circulating the air in my apartment. The fan motor oscillates the blades inside the cage while the everything else is stationary. And it goes up and down as well as side to side. It moves all the air in the room and is fairly quiet. Dust doesn't seem to stick to the metal cage so much as the plastic fan I had before. It runs at 67 watts which is about the same as a light bulb. It was easy to assemble but the thumbscrew that attaches the fan to the base pole would not thread. I don't feel it's a problem. I'm very happy with this fan.

Absolutely love this fan. It moves a ton of air with some noise when on high, not enough that you cant hear the tv, but you know its running. i'm going to buy another one.

I have had a Lasko oscillating fan in my bedroom which serves to;

1. Circulate the air when I'm going to sleep (I can't stand it when there isn't air circulating, for whatever reason).

2. To help the moisture in my shower stall dry out quicker so I don't have mold growing in my bathroom, because the exhaust fan (like in most apartments) barely removes the moisture from it.

The Lasko does okay, but I wanted something sturdier since it's a cheap, $20.00 Wal-Mart special, and it doesn't quite blow enough air.

The Whirlpool blows the Lasko out of water, just on the low setting! I like the idea that the air circulates without it actually moving left and right from the base itself, and it almost gets as much range as one that does. This is also a plus if you have a tight space that you'd like to have the most exposure to the circulation.

I also like the fact that it's got a metal grill and blades. I'm not a fan of the plastic ones, and it seems like just a day after I clean off the dust on the fan, the layer just builds right back up again.

The Whirlpool has ran for about three days now, and no dust. Plus, because it's running better on low than the Lasko, I can actually shut it off for a while!

The only thing that I was disappointed with when it first arrived was the fact that the base was plastic. I kinda thought, "Really? The fan weighs more than the base? Really?" But then I assembled it, and I guess it's alright. It's a little disheartening too, because the base doesn't really look like it's plastic from the pictures (even in the video) and I thought that paying the money I did, would have meant it wasn't.

I'm not going to send it back though, because it's doing a much better job than the Lasko did.

Love these series of fans. This one is slightly louder than the 12 & 14"er's, but it also has much more potential for creating pressure over a larger area. i bought these fans to help make my air conditioning more efficient throughout the house. We also use them to develop a breeze for when the tradewinds go away. wonderful fan, and worth the money. Whirlpool is also an awesome company to work with as all of my appliances are also whirlpool.
