Baker's Secret Large Broiler with Grill Top

Baker's Secret Large Broiler with Grill TopNB: The one star rating of this broiler is only(!) because there is no "zero star" option.

I went through *two* of these broilers in less than two months and after repeated delays awaiting a return lablel (I don't have easy access to a working printer) finally returned them to Amazon for refund -which I never(!) received, despite being assured that I would be refunded the shipping cost I paid to return them.

Despite close(!) attention to the use and care instructions, the non-stick surface of the pans began to crack/peel/flake after less than five to six washings in my automatic dishwasher. Under no circumstances whatsoever should foods of any type ever be placed in the pan.

The non-stick surface of the grills lasted longer, but they, too, eventually deteriorated, allowing foods to stick and the coating to peel.

Despite the low price I cannot recommend this item.

I bought this at my local grocer for the "grill pan" so I could bake foods with less fat. After reading the instructions when I got home, I raised an eyebrow. The instructions say, "DO NOT use vegetable cooking sprays. Follow recipe instructions for greasing and flouring." I had to wonder why no use of vegetable sprays? After all, that is precisely what low fat recipes call for. I wondered if this meant that you didn't need to spray it since it was "non-stick", or that the sprays would leave a film. Because there was no explanation as to why, I just decided to follow the recipe (as the instructions said) but eliminate the specific instruction on using the spray.

The very first dish I made (oven fried chicken and specifically this recipe: ) stuck so badly to the pan that I didn't think I could actually clean it off. It took two days of soaking and multiple scrubbing sessions. I finally assumed that perhaps this was a recipe that needed to be done without a grill pan. Okay fine.

The second time I made simple baked fish. It still stuck to the grill pan. In fact, we had about half the fish I originally baked in the oven because it tore apart when I attempted to remove it. Once again, I had to soak and srub, then soak and scrub.

I then thought I'd try one more thing. I oiled the grill pan before baking chicken. It helped, but did not appear to make too much difference at all. I still had chicken stuck to the grill pan, though admittedly it was a bit better. Still, the chicken was also a bit more greasy than I wanted.

I don't know what else to say about it. The grill pan is a complete failure as far as non-stick goes. The one perk was that after being scrubbed so many times (the grill pan, not the roasting pan) it still had no scratches at all, so at the very least it is durable.

The roaster part of the pan has given me no trouble at all, but that's probably because so far I've only used it to catch the drippings. Still, the drippings that have fallen into the roaster pan wash out instantly even if dried, so that at least is definitely non-stick. It's too bad that they didn't make the "grill pan" with the same material.

I would not recommend this purchase if you're buying it for the grill pan. If you're looking at it just for the roasting pan, you can buy that alone for a cheaper price. I'd recommend doing that instead.

I may not be a master chef, but I have tried multiple times to use this broiling pan. Everytime I get the same results! The surface of the non-stick pan cannot take the heat of your oven on broil. My oven has a high and low broil setting, and even the low setting ends up with a smokey plastic smell (without food on it!). I am back on Amazon tonight to seek out a replacement. I have been craving lamb chops, and I need to get broiling!

I've had this pan for several years and finally threw it away today. It's a small size, which is what I needed for my 2-person family, and works fine as a broiling pan. However the grill is hard to clean even if you spray it first, and after the first use or two it was already starting to look kind of crummy. That was OK with me, since a broiler never looks good after being used, and as long as it was clean and sanitary I was happy. But for the price I think it's time to toss it and get a new one.

So if you don't mind a broiling pan that looks like it's been used, you can't beat this for the price. Personally I'll be upgrading to a more expensive one now, in hopes that it will be easier to clean.

I really thought I was getting a good deal. I believe I did. However I have used the pan once to broil a steak and I can't get the top of the pan completely clean. Looks like it is permanently stained.

MaxiMatic ERO-2008S Elite 6-Slice Toaster Oven with Rotisserie and Grill/Griddle Top

MaxiMatic ERO-2008S Elite 6-Slice Toaster Oven with Rotisserie and Grill/Griddle TopI have been a countertop oven user for 20 yrs-even when my three children were @ home. Takes up less space and uses less energy. With the invention of the microwave, who needs a big stove. I use a countertop 2 burner hotplate also.

When my Maximatic ERO2006S (which I stumbled upon @ a discount warehouse) retired after many years (6-8) of faithful service, after much searching for the perfect replacement and finding many worthy contenders, I stuck w/Maximatic and went for the upgrade (Elite Professional ExLarge-23L-ERO2008S) which is a better value, I think, than the ERO2006S and definately worth the extra money.

This little oven is a big bang for the buck. I just love it. Rotisserie, broil, roast, bake, steams? griddle and oh yeah-makes great toast too. Roomy enough to roast 6-8 lb (at least) chicken or turkey breast. W/separately purchased pizza stone-a pizza oven. W/separately purchased steamer-a veggie steamer as well.

Listing @ just $10.00 more than its older model, Maximatic has kicked it up a notch or two. W/its updated snazzier look and larger size (height & width pretty much the same but depth, front to back is where most of the extra room is). Also much roomier cooking top. Profile is angled w/more room near the bottom which gives it a nice look. Looks much better than as pictured.

This one has a 'stay on' and timer function w/bell too. Yay!

The roomier multi-use top is very handy (why don't they all do this ???). The well thought out combo design enables the heat in the top to be put to good use as a steamer and warmer when roasting/baking/broiling. This was the biggest reason for choosing Maximatic in the first place and then replacing it w/the newer model. The top used as griddle is another cooking option (though seems somewhat cramped).

I was hoping a standard 9x13 would fit, but 2 8x8 works too. I have located some great cookware that does fit so not a priority or problem.

The brand is not well known @ least to me. The price was right for my first Maximatic and I was in a bind so I grabbed it, but would never have purchased an unknown or little-known brand if given a choice. The first one did not disappoint and I'm hoping this one will last as that one did.

This toaster oven replaced a piece of crap I'd had enough of ruining my food. So far I'm extremely satisfied with this toaster oven. I have already baked brownies, toasted bread, and roasted a pork loin using the rotisserie. I have had it only 5 days but am extremely satisfied so far. I bought this hoping to cook more without having to heat up the whole oven for a simple small item. The only concern is the amount of overhead clearance when using the rotisserie. You will have to tie up a chicken well to be sure not to push against the top.

The Elite Professional Jumbo was a Birthday present to myself ;) I'd looked for quite a while at whatever features might be available in a toaster oven and this one has it all and more. My intenions were to cut out on the use of the 220 oven going more green but also, I'm disabled and thought a toaster oven would be less bulky to use. I am a former Chef and cook from scratch quite a bit. I simply love this oven!! The top portion is a griddle/saute portion with a nice-sized cover for bulk quite a unique addition. The rotisserie is a wonderful bonus and it's one experiment after another. It has multiple settings for bake, broil, toast, keep warm, etc. The fact that you can adjust the timer to "stay on" is a great feature that was a complaint (the heat goes off when the oven goes off on a plain timer) in a lot of other reviews --you're allowed to slow roast and not have to turn the timer back on every hour. The size is "Jumbo" yet takes up little counter space. Mine actually fit nicely right on a "TV Table" I'd no other use for. The construction is solid and not "Tin-" ny as is the complaint on many an oven. Well worth the few additional dollars -you can't go wrong here!!

I came across this oven in a discount store and took it home and used it and fell in love with it. It is the perfect size for me. Not only does it toast, broil etc but I also made a cake in it. A full size cake a couple of time and they came out perfect. It doesn't put out much heat when it is in use. Who needs to use a big oven when you have one like this? It is great!!! I love it. I doesn't take up much space on the counter. It is perfect!!!

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Wide Bamboo Grilling Kabob Skewers 6.5-inch Long, Set of 25

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Wide Bamboo Grilling Kabob Skewers 6.5-inch Long, Set of 25These are perfect for corn on the cob. You insert the firmly and they stay. Not like metal ones with short prongs that keep slipping out. If you microwave your corn, you can insert them into the corn and put them into the microwave, unlike metal ones. They are diswasher safe and can be used over. They are a little long for corn on the cob so I cut some the length off with scissors. You can also get shorter ones also.

Not much to say. I prefer the flat skewers they hold more and are easier to turn. When I run out I will buy some more. Really good for seafood and vegetables. Foods stay put.

Quality bamboo packaged nicely in a reusable plastic container. Food stays put. Better than round skewers. They are short, so hold only a few pieces of food. These can be used for many purposes other than barbecue, such as plant markers.

One of the big problems with barbecuing shrimp, is with most skewers that are round, is when you turn the shrimp on the barbecue, it spins. You really have to work the over to the other side to get it to cook. With these flat sided skewers, that does not happen. You turn the skewer, you turn the shrimp.

Want Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Wide Bamboo Grilling Kabob Skewers 6.5-inch Long, Set of 25 Discount?

Items on a skewer tend to rotate around a round skewer. A flat skewer allows you to easily turn a skewer loaded with meat over and cook it right.

A cooking tip===do not mix good items on a skewer. Put onions on one, tomatoes on another, meat on another, etc. You remove them and serve them and your food will be better.

Another tip, mark the skewer for each food product and then soak it and use them over and over.

Lodge Logic LJSCP3 Jumbo Chef's Platter, 12-inch by 15-inch

Lodge Logic LJSCP3 Jumbo Chef's Platter, 12-inch by 15-inchLet me start off by saying that I'm an unabashed fan of cooking with cast iron cookware and Lodge cast iron in particular.

Having used the Lodge Pro Logic pizza pan from over a year to make roast potatoes (thin skin red, fingerling, little gourmet potatoes, cut to roughly same size, liberally tossed in olive oil, Rosemary, Oregano, a dash of red wine vinegar, 450 degrees, 20 minutes then flip with spatula or tongs, roast another 20 minuts or until soft).

The possibility of roasting all kinds of veggies arises. I bought this pan to serve as a spill over pan when I had too many veggies on the pizza pan (a little space around the roasted veggies helps).

Alas, it perfectly fits 1/2 of my gas grill, I'm now thinking about roasted veggies in the summer without running a high temperature oven in the summer. I'll also use this for family style fajitas.

Like all Lodge the quality is great. The 12" X 15" dimensions are outer dimensions, with the inner dimensions being about 12"-10", 10-14" at the wide point.

When you buy this remember it is a heavy pan that will get heavier when full of food. Be in the habit of picking up a pot holder when you move towards a pan. This pan will hold the heat from the oven. Be prepared to still have your food warm on the coolest winter days when you go back for seconds, or even when it comes time to clean up.

Lodge makes a smaller version of this pan, I"m not sure if it's on Amazon yet. The smaller version has a wood liner available, but there is no liner available for the jumbo platter.

The Lodge Chef's Platter can certainly be used as a serving platter. Warm it slightly in an oven to keep hot hors d'oeuvres warm. Chill it in a refrigerator for an hour before serving a relish tray or meat and cheese tray so those items stay colder longer.

The versatility comes from its ability to be used in the oven, on the stove top, or on the grill. Preheat it for 15-20 minutes in the oven and put on french fries, sweet potato fries, pizza, veggies, chicken strips, or anything else. The food comes out crispy with a perfectly thin "crust". No more soggy baked french fries!

For the bakers, this also works well for Italian bread. Pre-heat it and you'll get a nice crispy crust that works very well with Italian bread.

What originally drew me to the platter was its flat bottom (save for the small Lodge logo cast into it). The flat bottom means it can work effectively on a glass or ceramic smooth-top electric stove. You must give the platter adequate time to pre-heat when using it on a stovetop. Due to its size and slow-heating nature, it will take a good 10-20 minutes for the edges to heat up on a smooth-top stove (longer than my 12" Lodge skillet). If you don't, you'll have a big hot spot in the middle. Depending on the size of your stove and the configuration of your burners, you may be able to get the platter to fit across two burners.

Once your platter is pre-heated on the stove top, it works very well as a smooth griddle for pancakes, eggs, fried rice, grilled cheese, paninis, and everyone's favorite food: bacon.

Take the platter outside and put it on your gas or charcoal grill. It will prevent smaller items from falling between the grates. It also won't let flames to directly contact the food which can be good if whatever your cooking is somewhat delicate or has a tendency to catch fire.

The platter does come preseasoned from the factory. However, in my experience, it is a bit weak and needs a bit of help. My process for building up the seasoning on a new pan, or giving a boost to used ones is to warm the piece on the stovetop and lightly coat it with vegetable (soybean) oil or vegetable shortening. I then place the piece in a 500-degree oven (upside-down so excess oil won't pool) for one hour. After the hour is up, I turn the oven off and leave the piece in there until it is cool. This process will create smoke, so be sure to turn your range hood on and/or open a window.

The only negative to this pan is its size. The cooking surface is less than 12x15 probably closer to 10x13. Lodge needs to make a 15x20 version to fully occupy two burners on a typical stove.

The standard warnings about cast iron apply to this platter: it's heavy, it takes time to heat up and cool down, it's not dishwasher safe, it will rust if you scour it and soak it, and you shouldn't use soap or detergent on it.

The name "Platter" can really be misleading for this pan. We have found that it substitutes great for a cookie sheet and most anything else that you would use a cookie sheet for. Matt shows you this cookie sheet in our video and he goes over its finer qualities!

I use cast iron pretty much exclusively at this point, so I purchased two of these platters to replace cookie sheets. They're great! I don't normally love Lodge's pre seasoning, but these pans really were non-stick upon arrival (not that that stopped me from applying my own coat of seasoning anyway...).

Size-wise they're great as well. I've used them to bake cookies (each platter holds 9 good-sized cookies), make fries for two people (two large potatoes worth), bake two personal-size thin crust pizzas (I choose these over my pizza stone for ease of use), and warm cheesy, gooey nachos. In all those applications, nothing ever stuck to the platters, they wiped clean with just paper towel, and I was able to store them easily. I definitely recommend you get one or two of these!

Romertopf No. 117 Clay Baker

Romertopf No. 117 Clay BakerI purchased the Romertopf 6 1/2 Quart Clay Baker to replace a smaller clay baker that I have had for years. Baking in clay pots is my absolute favorite way to cook roasts and chicken and this larger size allows me to cook plenty of vegetables and meat to feed by family of five at family dinners (and have leftovers). The flavors are outstanding and I highly recommend this method of cooking to anyone who hasn't tried it. You soak the clay pot, fill it up, and place it in a cold oven and turn up the temp -then you do nothing until it is done -it is the most tender, juicy meat you will ever eat.

The pot is exactly what I expected it would be, although my old one was glazed inside and this one is not. I have used it several times already and that has not been a problem.

I like it so much I am purchasing the same pot in a smaller size so I can cook dinners for two.

this thing barely fits in my oven so it can make a big big stew. i have loved my 4 quart schlemmertopf clay pot but sometimes it's a little small for what i wnt to cook. when i saw the romertopf 6 1/2 quart i had to have it. try this: 2pound roast, 1-2 inches of water, salt, pepper, garlic, basil. cook in oven at 350 for 1 hour. add two large russet potatos cubed, 1 pound carrots, one large red onion, one large bunch of celery, all chopped, and one 16 oz. jar of a good marinara sauce (h.e.b.'s 2 dollar version is great). add water to about 1 inch from top of pot. cook for another 2 hours at 350. you don't even have to check it. this is stew like mom used to make!!!!

have cooked two turkeys in this since received. wish i had bought one of these years ago. easy and quick to use. meat falls off the bone and is moist and juicy. used a standard recipe, but increased the temp. by 100 degrees and reduced cooking time by 30 minutes. fastest i have ever cooked a turkey other than by frying.

easily handled a 14 lb. turkey. could go larger; specs say up to 17 lbs.

only minor complaint is that if you only have one oven, the temp. is so high and the clay pot so large that it is difficult to cook sides at the same time. i used my gas grill as an oven for the side dishes.

I've been using this pot to make turkey for the holidays and it works brilliantly. I've just ordered a second one because these same ones from Mexico are not made any longer. The new ones will be shipped from Germany. The German web site for this pot says: "with porous inner glaze in the base", which concerns me. It doesn't appear that my current pot has any glaze in it. And I don't want to mess with perfection.

The max size bird I'd cook in this pot is 13 pounds. I prefer 12.5 pounds, which leaves a bit of room. I leave the thawed, naked bird on a wire rack in the fridge for 16 hours or so to allow the skin to dry out, which makes for crispy skin. I bring the turkey closer to room temperature by leaving it on the counter for 2 hours. I soak the pot for 30 minutes before placing the bird in it. I cook the 12.5 pound turkey for about 2.5 hours at 450 Fahrenheit. I don't use stuffing. Instead I chop a handful of veggies I like and place them in the cavity--leaving enough room for the heat to enter the cavity.

For those interested in the German page (slashes removed): roemertopf.de english roemertopf_klassik klassik.htm

The Romertopf Direct web site says: "All Romertopf by Reco products have been discontinued and our store is now closed."

[Update: 12-31-2012]: One source for these pots ( fantes [dot] com ) wrote to me that the new pots (i.e. non-Reco pots) will be arriving in mid-January. According to them the new pots "will be glazed on the bottom half, and the top unglazed, similar to the Schlemmertopfs"

As a young mom, I noticed that my Italian neighbor used the Rometopf for everything she baked. I gave it a try. I think it is the only way to get a carefree turkey that has moist breast meat and nicely browned skin. Even my non cook daughter in law made a fantastic turkey with the clay baker. It is great for any meat you want to bake and bread pudding.

Remember to soak it in water before using. It is a life saver if you get a late start on a holiday dinner or important meal. I have used a Rometopf for over 30 years and still love using it. I put it inside my dishwasher with no soap or rinse agent and run a cycle. It comes out fresh and has no soap or rinse residue to worry about.

Gaswatch Tvl212 Propane Level Indicator And Safety Gauge

Gaswatch Tvl212 Propane Level Indicator And Safety GaugeThis simple gauge solves the problem of knowing how much propane is in the tank before you start grilling. It solves the problem of running out of gas right in the middle of the barbecue. Unlike other systems involving pouring hot water on the tank to see where the level of gas is, this give you a precise indication. Once you have grilled a few times, you get the feel for how much gas it takes and can then guess if there is enough for the next time or if you need to refill the tank. Installation is as simple as attacing the guage to the tank and the regulator hose to the guage. No tool sare needed adn the guage can easily be transferred to other tanks to check thier levels. The needle immediately indicates the level in the tank. The device is simple and rugged enough to withstand a bit of harsh handling.

This product seems to do exactly as it is supposed to. I like the saftey feature and especially knowing when I need to refill propane, rather than running out during a cook out.

Gas is getting trapped in the mechanism. Gas still flows, but the gauge is stuck on full. Might be the tank. I don't know. It also seems to have an emergency shut-off valve. If you turn on the burners too quickly after turning on the propane tank, you will have no or restricted flow. You need to wait about 10 seconds between turning on the propane and turning on the burners. After having this for 6 months, it is a real pain. I would definitely try something else.

Want Gaswatch Tvl212 Propane Level Indicator And Safety Gauge Discount?

It's simple, place your hand flat on the side of the tank. Remember your hand has to be perfectly flat on the side of the tank as close to the middle as you can get, not the top or bottom. Now carefully monitor the gauge as the propane is flowing into the barbecue and for safety be sure stand as far away as possible from the hot barbecue. I'd normally give this thing 5 Stars but I noticed this safety gauge has no electrocardiogram EKG or ECG functionality included so I docked it one star..

As a bonus, if you interpret the reading correctly it will also check the flatulence level in your gas system. What more can you ask for a product under 20 bucks?

Air King 9145 6-Inch 2-Speed Clip-On Fan

Air King 9145 6-Inch 2-Speed Clip-On FanI purchased this fan for my daughter because her west-facing room gets especially hot in the evenings, even with A/C on. We had another fan that was too loud for her and that vibrated terribly when we placed it up high enough so she could feel the wind from it. This fan was the perfect solution! We clipped it on her bed and she can adjust it herself from off to high or low. It is the quietest fan in our house by far and she can still hear her Mozart good night music, which we play quietly, over the fan. The fan is easy to angle or adjust as well and the clip is strong once you've placed it so it stays in place. We are really happy with this purchase and my husband who can't stand to hear a pin drop is considering getting one for himself.

Update: We ordered a second one in 2011 and it is not identical to the one we ordered in 2008, but it is still effective, though somewhat less quiet.

In my search for a fan for my tiny room, I had specific criteria:

1) Relatively inexpensive

2) Quality parts

3) Quiet/silent (most important)

4) Low wattage

Misc criteria:

*)Free shipping

*)Service, 30-day $ back guarantee if I'm not satisfied

The Air King 9145 on Amazon matched my criteria precisely. I got it for $25, shipped & no tax. I received it fairly promptly (could care less; shipping was free).

Anyways, the box is pretty no-thrills and that's the way it should be. It comes with:

1) Box

2) Paper manual (note: you can download the manual online by searching "air king 9145 user manual" and go paperless :)

3) Fan main assembly

4) Clip.

The fan can be mounted by using either the clip seen in the picture, or using a screw. The screw-mount is on the back of the fan clip. I personally mounted it using the clip. I found that hanging the fan upside down on a thin piece of wood doesn't really work well. You need a "chunky" place for the clip to get a good grip and hold it. I found best of both worlds with the top of my desk. A pole could work also.

The fan has 0-1-2 settings. The manual advertises the fan uses 9 watts on setting "1" and 13 watts on setting "2". I can confirm this is 100% correct using my killawatt(TM) device.

-Noise-

I personally don't like a lot of air blowing on my face, so I used setting "1" and I like it. It blows enough air to keep me/my laptop cool without drying my eyes. On setting 1, the fan is pretty quiet, even for very-very-noise sensitive people like. It is not "dead silent", but "quiet". Setting 2 is a bit louder and I don't like putting it on setting 2 for that reason.

The fan setting is adjusted on the back of the fan head. I find myself baffled as to why the company decided to do a "0-2-1" setting instead of "0-1-2" which is more logical. Now it takes me twice as many "clicks" to get to my setting. Not a big deal (for me especially, since I use a remote control to turn that outlet on).

The wiring feels nice and thick and the build quality feels solid. I wish the plug didn't use a "three prong", since I have to get a special extension cord for it. :-(

Other than that, what can I say? It performs very well. I am very pleased with this purchase and would do it again!

Pros:

1) Reasonably priced

2) Free shipping, no tax if fulfilled from Amazon

3) Fan is quiet on setting 1

4) Fan wiring is thick and solid! Fan feels high quality

Negatives:

1) Could be cheaper? ($25 shipped, no tax is reasonable IMO, but for a 6" fan still pricey for some)

2) Only comes in white. This is my biggest complaint. I guess I could use a primer/black spray paint, but it would be great if it came in black :)

3) Clip spring could be a bit stronger.

4) Plug is three pronged (sucks for getting an extension cord)
