isi Silicone Oven Mitt Review

isi Silicone Oven Mitt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this because I have used silicone in baking and it works nicely. I expected it to perform better than the Kevlar gloves I currently use, which BURN you during spills because the cloth absorbs liquids.
Alas, this glove must have been intended for men. The "finger" part is about two inches longer than my longest finger. The thumb prevents you from pushing your hand all the way to the end of the finger part. The material being very thick, it means you are usually trying to fold half an inch of bouncy, rubbery stuff between your hand and the handle of whatever you are trying to grab. Cookie sheets are far easier to move than casseroles. Imagine big nubs at the ends of your fingers. Awkward.
However, it is fairly heat proof and is safer from that point of view. It's also an attractive blue, well made and has grippy "teeth" that help maintain a good grip even on a slippery surface. I'm happy enough with the material that I'm shopping for pot holders made from it. The FIT is what gave this item a lower grade. If it fit well, it would have been a 5.

A very nice grill, does as it is advertised. Nice surface coating on the griddle. My only dislike is that it is made in China! I would have paid more for it gladly, if it were made here in the U.S.
This is just another example of why there are no jobs here. Woolfie, should have specified that it be made in the U.S. and displayed on the packaging proudly!

Maverick ET-7 Remote-Check Wireless Thermometer With 2 Probes Review

Maverick ET-7 Remote-Check Wireless Thermometer With 2 Probes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is useful and fun, what more could you ask ? You can use one or two probes. The probes are connected to the transmitter, you then turn on the remote, then the transmitter. I use it for everything, steaks, chops, whatever. I go into the living room and watch the remote. When the temperature gets over about 100 I turn the meat over if necessary. The only thing I have noticed is the temperatures that trigger the audible alarm are set too high, likely thanks to lawyers. For example, when I set it to medium rare for beef, it was more like medium. Now I set it on rare ( 140 ) and get a perfect medium rare. For pork the number is 170. I take it off at 160. After all, it continues to cook after it is taken off. Before I bought this I used to guess but now I get perfect results every time. Highly recommended.

The RediChek remote features a transmitter that reads the internal food termperature with a digital electronic food probe, then sends that information wirelessly up to 100 feet away, freeing you from standing next to the oven or grill during the cooking period.When the desired temperature is reached an alarm goes off!The taste or doneness of meats can be determined to be rare, medium, medium well, or well done based on the type of food and the internal temperature reached during cooking.

Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker Review

Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Weber Smokey Mountain (WSM) is really the king of the bullet smokers. You may be tempted to go with a cheaper Brinkmann model, and if your budget just can't afford the WSM, then you can do some prefectly acceptible bbq on the brinkmann.
But if you can afford the extra for the WSM, you will get much better temperature control, and getting good temperature control means you can keep a good consistent low temeperature for doing some truly outstanding smoke cooking.
I am by no means an expert on the subject, only having used my WSM about 10 times. Even so, I have been getting results better than any ribs I have tasted at any restaurant (with the exception of real honest to goodness BBQ joints that cook over hardwood for 12 hours plus...). You can tell real barbecue because it has a pink smoke ring in the meat, which I always get when I use the WSM.
You will want to check on the net for the virtual WSM web page, it has a lot of information, and I found the info there a lot more useful than the methods recommended in the owner's manual.
This cooker is not for the impatient who want instant results, your first few times using it may be frustrating until you learn to control where the temperature is going, not where it is right now. But stick with it and you will start to make some truly great bbq. And understand that you are going to be cooking low and slow, which means it is going to take 4, 5, 6 hours or more to do ribs, but once you get the hang of it, they will be some of the best ribs you have tasted.
More than a fair number of barbecue champions use the WSM get results as good as if not better than those guys using the $1000 plus offset pits. The WSM is a great value and the perfect starter "pit" for someone thinking about getting into serious barbecue.
(You can do yourself a favor by using hickory wood chunks as part of the fuel, and real lump charcoal, not briquettes. Briquettes are nice and all, but they are filled with clay and other impurities, really if you are going to the trouble of using charcoal instead of gas, go with real charcoal if you can find it)

If you're like me, when I am grilling - there is grease, oil and many other grilling sauces flying about that would ruin a wood handled tool during the first use. These stainless steel beauties will stand up to your biggest BBQ parties. They have a nice length to them which will keep your hands and arms clear of the BTUs. The thickness of the steel is guaranteed to last, you can feel the quality of these tools immediately.

I purchased these because they matched the 2002 model of Weber Genesis Gold series, but they really would shine on any model or manufacturer.
Easy cleanup in the dishwasher... and they come with a 10, yes TEN year guarantee!

This product is everything you need an outdoor wok to be. Easily cooks for 8 people. It is fun to cook near the table and be part of the party. It provides the high heat necessary to make the flash cooked, crisp and tender vegetables in Chinese stir-fry cooking. We cook one dish right after another with ease. It is a real joy to use this wok. I wish I had one in my kitchen. We keep it on the lania and use it everyday.

Masterbuilt M7P 7-in-1 Smoker and Grill with Pan and Basket Set Review

Masterbuilt M7P 7-in-1 Smoker and Grill with Pan and Basket Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I went to various retail outlets to inspect Webers, Brinkman and the Masterbuilt. I ended up buying the Masterbuilt M7P. I also was not interested in refrigerator size smoker either. An 18.5 inch grill diameter suites me fine.
Here's why:
1. Brinkman - Single not multi-tiered. Harder to work in lower chamber unless you're very tall. Priced over (...)
2. Weber - Way over priced, period. Only had charcoal option not duel; charcoal and/or propane. Height to low.
3. Shop the inet. You can find an M7P for under (...).
I can control the heat better with propane rather than charcoal as I like a cooler smoke under 125 degrees. I bought the M7P strictly for smoking as I have a gas BBQ grill. The M7P water pan could be used as a drip bowl if you do.
Kit included an aluminum pot and mesh basket, I suppose for crab/lobster boils.
Masterbuilt M7P
Pros:
* Xlnt packaging as every square inch was utilized. Amazed how small a box the M7P arrived in. No waste. Go green.
* Nice finish. Over time we'll see if the shine holds. Wish it came in a primer (dull) black instead.
* Every piece was wrapped well.
* All nuts, bolts, and screws plainly labeled.
* Easy to follow assembly instructions.
* Smokes extremely well. I use the water pan as a heat blocker to cool the smoke down.
* King salmon, beef brisket and pork butt come out lip smackin' to die for dee-lishous.
* Breaks down easily so multi-usage becomes a reality. Just lift the sections up and away. That's it.
* Handles remain cool after 5 hours of smoking. BIG thumbs up!
* NO smoke leakage, it all inside the unit.
Cons:
* Looking for a another burner. The flame range is medium to high. When set low it tends to choke. By this I mean you hear a whooshing/roaring sound as the flame turns from blue/green to yellow/orange. By low I mean the flame is licking the chamber bottom 8" away, yet I cannot maintain a blue/green flame.
* Have to make adjustments to the top lid air/smoke vent so it closes completely.
**Note: When installing the burn unit note the positions of the legs. One leg is at the back while two are in front. Mount the unit so the propane hose faces the correct direction - right or left - as it's not long enough to reach around if mounted incorrectly. If U goof, it's a simple four screw removal to remount the unit...a 2 minute job.

Exceptionally versatile, this outdoor smoker and grill allows for cooking in seven different ways. Use it for propane smoking and grilling, charcoal smoking and grilling, boiling or steaming, camp cooking, or deep-frying. The unit features a porcelain flame disk bowl and a solid-steel 19-inch LP gas-cooker stand and cast-iron burner with a type-1 regulator and hose. A propane tank must be purchased separately. Other details include U-shaped legs for stability, a temperature gauge, and cool-touch handles for safety. A 10-1/2-quart aluminum pot and a basket with a convenient drain clip come included for frying up fish, French fries, and more. Simply cook food in the pot then lift the basket to drain. The deep-frying basket features small drain holes and a long-stemmed handle with a rubber-covered end to keep hands safe and away from the heat, while the pot provides a sturdy flat base, generous loop side handles, and an easy-to-clean design. The unit requires some basic assembly and a user manual with recipes comes included. Great for camping, picnics, and cookouts with friends and family, the UL-listed seven-in-one smoker-and-grill unit measures approximately 18 by 18 by 26-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Bayou Classic 0880-PDQ Stainless-Steel Beercan ChickCAN Rack Review

Bayou Classic 0880-PDQ Stainless-Steel Beercan ChickCAN Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am very happy with this vertical roaster. I've used it dozens of times, and throw it in the dishwasher when I'm done - not even one rust spot.
The accompanying recipe also gets an A+ - I've had several requests for the recipe. It's almost impossible to ruin a bird cooked this way. Even if you overcook, it will still be moist because of the inner steam.
However, it doesn't come with a cup, so you have to either find a glass that fits or use a can. I don't like the idea of superheated aluminum and paint, so luckily I have a glass that fits perfectly.
I use mine in the oven, not the BBQ, though I'm sure it would work well there also. It fits in a pie pan, and I use a glass one. If you don't have a pie pan, you may want to consider buying a roaster which comes with its own pan.
I still give it 5 stars because for what you get, it works beautifully!

Sittin' Chicken and Turkey Combo Review

Sittin' Chicken and Turkey Combo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I originally purchased just the "Sittin' Chicken" steamer, but after using it the first time I immediately ordered the chicken and turkey combo so I would never be without this option for roasting poultry. If you're going to feed more than two or three hungry people, you will need to roast more than one chicken anyway, so this gives me two chicken and one turkey steamer. The popular method has always been to use a can of beer for this type of cooking, but I like using fruit juices. Apple juice is my favorite. The meat comes out with a moist and sweet flavor, unattainable by other methods. For Easter this year I did a turkey on the grill (we have a wood pellet grill) with pineapple juice and beer in the Sittin' Turkey, and quickly discovered that I will need to make more turkey next year for this crowd. They loved it.
In addition, the ceramic steamers are easy to clean. I rub a little vegetable oil on the outside before cooking to keep crusty bits from sticking, and simply throw them in the dishwasher when I'm done. I don't think I will ever go back to the old way of roasting poultry.

Weber 2501 All-Purpose Kabob Set Review

Weber 2501 All-Purpose Kabob Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While I like Shish Kabobs, I do not like cooking shish kabobs. Why? Because the usual skewers are round and have wooden handles. As the food shrinks while cooking, it looses its attachment to the skewer and rotates freely making flipping near impossible. And those wooden handles can't over the fire, of course.
Weber to the rescue! This whole unit is metal, so there are no wooden handles. The skewers are rectangular, which impedes slippage of food while cooking. The skewers fit into grooves in the base, and using good mitts or tongs, the large handles make flipping easy. The entire unit is solidly made.
If one gives all parts a good scrub as soon as they are cool enough to touch, the cleanup is easy. The base snaps apart, so there should be no storeage problems either.
And the price is right

After only a few uses, the standard thermometer that came with my fryer became inaccurate. This remote thermometer is very accurate--to the degree--and easy to use. You can set high/low alarms and has count down or count up timers.
The cons are that it is slippery and easy to drop. The on/off toggle switch on mine could not be slid to on using my fingers and I had to resort to using a pin to push it from the base of the switch.
