Cool Gadgets - The BBQ Edition
When I first moved to the US I became mesmerized by infomercials. The idea of a 30 minute slot advertising a product, not being afraid to name competitors and the final pull of "doubling the order for no additional charge" really hooked me. This is so alien compared to the UK television I was used to. Also the good ones seem to have an englishman doing the pitch so also feeling a little national pride! I'm sad to say several purchases including a "set it and forget it" rotisserie and a steam cleaner (long story!).
Back in November I was flicking channels and came across a product called the grill daddy. Its basically a grill brush with a small water tank that leaks water onto the brushes. The commercial was amazing, turning a dirty grill into a spotless "good as new". My sister purchased this for a christmas present and I must say I've been super impressed. This thing really works as well as advertised!
Just crank the grill up really high and burn off, then run the grill daddy across. Lots of steam and hissing and the grill really comes up as good as new. I'm using a built-in vermont castings grill that I found a lot harder to keep clean compared to my old stainless grill. This makes it a pleasure to use and I'm now getting the benefits of those porcelain covered cast iron grill grates.
Two thumbs up from me :-)
I've also added a rib rack (stacks up five ribs vertically) and another favorite (and crowd pleaser) the beer can chicken roaster.
