Grill Reviews

This BBQ Kit is as cool in person as it looks online. The pieces are all very good quality and everything you need is included. I like the aluminum case so we can take it camping with us. I know my friende will be green with envy when I start dishing up the ribs this summer with the great spatula.

The perfect gift for the Bar-B-Q guru. I bought this as a gift and have never seen such a huge smile. The pieces are a beautiful stainless and very durable. Definately a good value.

I bought for my bro's birthday, now I want one! Top quality, everything you need, and very sturdy, which is a plus on the grill. Warning, though, knife and serated edge on spatula are very sharp--not for kids who can't handle themselves. Main pieces are really long so you don't get burnt over the grill. Heads for the grill scrubber were $5, totally replaceable. Corn cobbers are really cute, too. Perfect gift for a bbq'r!

I received this combo as a Christmas gift, and I guess I was skeptical. But after using both parts of the combo several times, I'm sold.

I've always enjoyed the George Foreman grills. When it's too cold out to use a proper BBQ, or you just don't want to take the time, a GF grill is just the ticket. Easy to use, easy to clean, and with its long-lasting non-stick surface, you'll be enjoying it for a long time to come. The jumbo model included with this combo is big enough for the whole family, or allows you to make extra ahead for lunch the next day.

But the real gem is the rotisserie, and is where I was most surprised. If you enjoy whole roast chicken from one of the restaurant chains or your local grocery, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you're able to make it at home -- with the added benefit of controlling everything that goes into it. Simple recipes accompany the appliance, and the results are just delicious.

The rotisserie comes with skewers for ka-bobs, or a basket for smaller foods like chicken legs or a small roast.

Definitely one of my favorite gifts this past season, it gets a big thumb's up.

Don't pass this up just because you can't see a picture. You can look them up separately to see the picts. and get the info. You'll also get sticker shock at the same time. This is a STEAL!!!

I just received my grill & rotisserie today so I haven't used them yet. I had a smaller Foreman grill and this one is about double the size! The rotisserie looks great too. I'm sure I'll love the rotisserie as much as I will the grill. Since I had the smaller grill I can speak from experience about how great they are! Makes fixing dinner a whole lot easier since my husband was put on a low-fat diet by his doctor.

You can't beat this deal if you could! The baby rotisserie alone goes for $60 and the Jumbo grill goes for $75 alone. I have the mini George Foreman grill and I live by it. I can't wait until I use the rotisserie.

Don't let the high price tag and the cast iron thing scare you away from this great product. It's not your mother's cast iron of stuck-on messes and rust in your food. It's very easy to season, and from there it works great. We've been able to cook everything from salmon, to buffalo, to pineapples with no sticking.
Unlike it's predecessor, the George Foreman grill, it cooks many kind of foods beautifully without drying it out or sticking. The key...temperature control. Since it works with your stove, you can control the amout of heat you need.
Also, having a wee kitchen, it's nice not to have another appliance taking up valuable counter space.
One of the best features is the lifetime warranty. And they mean it too. My friend had a Le Creuset teapot that rusted out and they sent her a replacement for free.
Sure it's pricey, but you get what you pay for with this pan.

Wow, I love this pan! I also live in an apartment, so this is a great substitute for outdoor grilling when you want a quick dinner. It's not as good as the outdoor charcoal grill, but this has some advantages. It's super easy. I use this pan several times a week. I pre-heat the pan, brush a little canola oil to the ribs, and while it warms up to the right temperature, I prepare the food. I cut some veggies (can use zucchini, squash, small eggplant, onions, bell pepper, etc), on the bias, so there's more surface area, toss with olive oil, salt & pepper, and grill. You may have to do several rounds of it if you have lots of veggies. After cooking until just tender, toss with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil. DELICIOUS!! Also, we've been grilling some great local wild salmon on this pan. It is unbelievable. It is very quick, so don't overcook. Season with salt and pepper, and anything you like. Just practice a couple times, experiment with the temperature and your technique, and you'll see how easy and tasty it is. If you can get some homegrown or organic produce, it's so much more tasty. Simple grilling complements good ingredients.

(1) Where is it written, who decreed that skillets should be round? (2) Why has it taken me so long to discover the advantages of a square fry pan?

The answers are: nowhere that I know of, and because my mother always used a round skillet. She would have loved this enameled cast iron beauty that leaves appetizing sear marks on meat - a char effect without the mess. The ribbed base captures grease allowing for healthier low fat cooking, and the surface is a satiny black enamel that cleans in a breeze.

It's compatible with all heating surfaces, and has an easy hold comfortable handle. We lightly applied vegetable oil to the ribs before our first use, and for several times thereafter. Since then there has been no need for the addition of oils. By heating the grill for a few minutes on medium heat (test with a drop of water and heat until water droplets sizzle) we've found the cooking surface primed for superior cooking.

This nifty item has such a plethora of uses - it can be used in the oven (keep your oven glove at the ready) or even on a backyard barbecue.

We got this in November as a wedding present and we love it. It is not too big not too small, perfect for 4 hamburgers, 2 small steaks, 3 medium salmon steaks. Will cook frozen fish or hamburgers in 5 minutes. Heats up in 5 minutes, so you can turn it on while getting the food out and then just put the food in it, for a total of 10 minutes since you start!. I think 5 minutes to cook something frozen is pretty fast! After using, it is easy to clean, I scrape whatever is left on the non stick surface (if i cook something too fatty, if not it is almost clean) with the plastic spatula they provide, then wait till it cools down to sponge it and dry it with a paper towel. The outside part just needs a damp sponge and a paper towel once in a while, it is still shiny after 4 months use, and still looks like new on the inside. The non stick surface is great. Looks good in my kitchen, and doesnt take up so much space. I just leave it on the counter it looks so good. It is heavier than it appears, but overall I think it is a WONDERFUL product and strongly recommend it.

All I have to say is AWESOME. Cleanup is easy, cooking is great and fast. And you know your eating healthy because you see all the oil and fat drip off. I highly recommend this also if you have kids. I have four boys and am always looking for something fast and easy, this is it. Cooking time is cut in half. One down side I should say is, since I have a large family maybe one size bigger would have been better.But over all its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

We got this a month ago and we love it, it is perfect, easy to use, it looks great, and SO easy to clean!!! We love it.

I was reluctant to spend this much money on a BBQ grill, but wow, what an improvment over the $150 grills out there!

I especially like the fact that there are no ceramic bricks or lava rocks. These always fell down to the bottom of my old grills, resulting in an uneven temperature across the grill, and a constant source of maintenance. Not the case here.

This grill encorporates long triagular metal pieces to cover the burners, which almost completely eliminate flare-ups. I can now cook dark meat chicken and sausage without any trouble at all.

There is a "gauge" on the side of the unit that gives you a pretty good idea how much propane is left in your tank, and replacement of the tank is a breeze compared to previous grills I have owned.

I think the best thing of all, is the fact that the grill is almost completely assembled when you take it out of the box. All you have to do is attach the legs, set the side burner, the side "counter" and the grill surface in place, and you are done. You only need 1 small wrench, and it's included! It even comes with a 40lb propane tank.

The only thing I am not thrilled about is the fact that the three burners run from side to side. This forces you to light at least 2 burners even if you are only cooking a small amount of food. Kind of wasteful, but they all seem to be that way...

I am completely satisfied with this grill, and would recommend it to anyone who loves to grill. If you only cook bugers once in a while, you may want to look at a cheaper model, though.

This model is on display at Home Depot, if you want to see it up close and personal before you buy... Watch their ads, too. It was 10% less than the Amazon price when I bought it.

I too was a Weber Kettle man (22 1/2"). Charcoaling was fine for weekends, but after work, it was difficult and time consuming. A friend gave me his old Kenmore that was borderline acceptable, but very small and uneven cooking (and only 2 burners). Through a reward program at work, I was able to select my choice of many gifts. My eyes lit up when I saw the Silver C. My thoughts: impeccable reputation, and only an IDIOT would spend that much $ on a grill.
Invited a friend to help with the assembly (he was jealous as ever, but as excited as me) and, between cold ones, took about 15 minutes to complete.
Needless to say...you get exactly what they tell you - exactly: quality workmanship, no flare ups, easy care, even cooking, consistent every time! Although mine was free, I feel it was worth twice the retail cost. Roasts, beer can chicken, fish, steaks..you name it, no problem at all + their website is phenomenal.
Now I grill, at minimum, 4 nights a week, 365 days a year. Fun, healthy, and perfect. Roasts and ribs are a favorite, as there is more refreshment time. Just looking at it on your deck brings a big smile (and your friends will have a green twinkle in their eye when they see it). Yes, the Weber's are truly the Cadillac's of grills.
Already looking at the Gold series, and I will gladly fork over my bucks for it. Only problem...I know my Silver C (and my Kettle) will be around long after I croak.

This grill is the best for the value. If you spend any more, you may not get any more features, performance, and reliability. If you spend less, you may end up with an inferior product that changes its model number and design year after year w/o a proper catalog of spare parts and customer service.

At first, the $499 price tag may seem hefty, not after you compared its features and design to other grills... you'll soon question how Weber does all this for under $500. Don't be fooled by other grills that may be all stainless like the Nexgrill from target, my friend bought one and I saw the quality of that thing and it made me laugh... The quality is so poor that the handle is falling off after 8 months of usage. His NexGrill Cover is even turning brown cuz it only has one layer.

Features:
First of all, this grill comes with a propane tank (not many do), porcelain enameled cast-iron grate (heavy duty from Home Depot), porcelain enameled lid for rust resistance, built in thermometer, three 12K BTU burners, a side burner at 10K BTU, and crack proof wheels. Quality control is amazing at Weber. You will not regret it, plus their catalog is so impressive that you can pin point to one tiny screw and they can replace it for you.

I have always been a Weber Kettle (22.5" Silver One Touch) kind of BBQer, but I have to give in on the time issue so I purchased only from Weber when I decided to pick up a gas grill.

Folks, buy this and you won't regret it... you'll soon cook everything outdoors as I have.
Now I am a proud owner of two Weber grills and with covers on them, I plan on keeping both forever.

I love this grill pan! It's so versatile, I use it to grill fish, chicken, steak, and vegetables. It's a heafty heavy cast iron pan, which you can pass onto future generations...definitely not something you use for a couple of years and throw out. The great thing about it is that you can sear in the flavors on a stovetop and then put it in the oven for browning. You won't regret getting this. It's my favorite thing in my kitchen.

This is my favorite grill pan! I have 3 grill pans and only use this one. It works great on medium heat and grills foods to perfection. It really is non- stick and clean-up is a breeze. My next purchase will be a frying pan and soup pot.

I hate grilling outdoors, because i almost always get eatten alive. But this grill is the next best thing. It is great for grilling veggies, ribeye steaks and pork chops. It really gets the job done and what's nice about it is that you don't have to turn the stove up to high. It cooks evenly and gives you the grill marks and the whole deal. Clean up is a snap and I love it. One of the best pieces I have bought for my kitchen.

Each piece is built to last forever. All edges are very sharp and the set looks great.

Fantastic sturdy set, in convenient carry kit. I bring mine for grilling at our football tailgating partys. These are sturdy enough so they won't get ruined by you drunk friends! Great set!

I bought this as a housewarming gift and love it so much I will probably get it for my husband. I imagine it is not that practical to put the tools back into the case all the time but the tools are so nice, it will be fine to keep in my kitchen. These pieces are much larger than I expected. The handles are long and thick, the utensil ends are also very large which should be handy at the BBQ (since it is a gift, I haven't personally used it). Look closely at the spatula, it has many different uses, the handle is a bottle opener, the side of the spatula is a knife. The case makes a wonderful presentation for a gift and could be handy if you camp or have some other reason to transport it.

This is my first piece of Cuisinart. I must say I am very impressed with it! Food looks much more attractive, even sausages take on a lovely grilled look. I have used this pan several times in the past week..What's the best feature besides the nice browning effect? The very easy cleanup! This is much easier to clean than caphalon...A tiny drop of liquid and water, and quick swoosh with the sponge, and its clean! Will be looking to buy more pieces in the future..Don't be afraid of this one! A+++++

I use this pan quite a lot, actually. The ridges make it really easy to grill things. I also like to steam things in this pan ... putting a little water, or red wine ... works well as it gets underneath the food.

Clean-up is not as easy at it would appear (given the un-eveness of the cooking surface), but what're ya gonna do?

I especially enjoy grilled foods, not only because of its flavor, but because of its appearance. This grill give you perfect grill marks every time! Beautifully spaced and perfectly browned grill marks all the while cooking the item(s) evenly through. Oh, and very easy to clean! Wonderful product, I highly recommend it...a great investment!

What a wonderful way to cook. We have never has food taste so good. Easy to clean! and a must to have. Thank you Lodge for making great cast iron cookwear.

I was looking into cast iron for a long time, and couldn't get past the prices. I had been learning the steady lesson in cookware that "you get what you pay for." I bought cheap pans, and threw them out after a year. So I was wary about the prices of Lodge cookware. But after listening to Alton Brown expound upon their greatness, and watching the myriad things he was able to do with his skillet, I decided to take the plunge. I wanted a skillet and a Dutch oven. I found this set, and said "perfect!" I get 2 skillets, the dutch oven (with the lid that fits one of the skillets too), and a griddle, for the price of a skillet and a dutch oven.
The only piece in this set I could do without is the griddle. I own a larger griddle/grill that I use far more frequently because of its more convenient size, but even so, I don't feel cheated because it was basically like a free gift at this price. And I use both skillets and the dutch oven so frequently, the meager investment isn't even a consideration.
About the cookware itself: yes, cast iron has a small upkeep. You can't clean it like you clean every other pan. You have to coat it with oil after EVERY cleaning. You MUST season the pans. BUT, this stuff is impossible to stick to after a cure has been worked in. Also, it's bulletproof. No more worrying about using those metal tongs in your teflon pan...you can scrape and jab and cut and bang, and that cure stays put. The only thing you can't do is soap it. But nothing sticks to it, so cleanup isn't really that big an issue.
PLUS it imparts natural iron to foods that are cooked in it.
So to sum up: affordable, needs maintenance, bulletproof, naturally non-stick, and makes foods a little more nutritious. What are you waiting for??

Down south, we know, and have known for years... nothing cooks as well, or cleans as easily, as well seasoned cast iron. Like so many good things of the past, all the small foundries have been forced by unremitting government regulation to cease production. Wagner, Dixie, Griswold and all the furnaces of Rome, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, and the steel corridor of the north now burn cold. Fear not, for one bright light burns on. Lodge is there, blazing the way for a new generation of cooks to experience the glory of cast iron. It matter not one whit, if you are competing with the Iron Chef or the talented Boy Scout next door, you will improve your chances with cast iron... and nobody pouring steel in America today does cookware like Lodge of Tennessee... America come home, out of the heartland greatness still runs, and as is so often the case, Tennessee points the way. Try it and establish a base line by which all other cooking will be measured... You just cannot beat cast iron and pig parts... Y'all come ya hear... South Carolina --- still too big to be an asylum and too small to be a nation

Finally had a chance to use this after sitting around for
a few weeks, and it's just great!! It gets hot very quickly,
and it's fairly easy to cleanup (seems easier to clean if
you let the sauces dry -- they fall off the teflon surface
a lot easier than when they're still gooky).
Caveat, though -- it doesn't come with the turning fork,
even though it's advertised to come with one.
Otherwise, very happy with the item, and will be used a lot,
especially in the cold weather.

This grill is STUPENDOUS! It heats up quickly, it is non-stick and VERY easy to clean. Just stick both the grilling surface and the tray underneath it in the dishwasher. The food tastes like a real Gas/Charcoal grill which never ceases to surprise me. Veggies, meats -- all good. There is another bonus through buying it through Amazon.com. The grill originally cost 99.99 and was bought for that price. Then the price dropped to 49.99 (I think within 30 days). How is that for customer service! Overall, I am as satisfied as I could possibly be with this purchase and with Amazon.com.
This product is a definite winner!

This is a great product - you forget that you cooked it indoors - the food has that outdoor grill tast - The best thing about this is the bottom pan comes out for easy cleaning! A tip for better cooking - put a cover on top of the food while grilling and it makes the food come out even more juicy!
