The Cave Tools Smoker box works great! We used it on a round Kettle, charcoal style grill. It is meant to be able to sit with nothing on top so that you can still open the box and add more chips, if you would like to. To use on the grill that we did, you have to pull the top grate and put more chips in. Then had to move the box to add more coals. Then put the grate back on. Not a super easy task but does get the job done. Our steaks were still super yummy and had an amazing smoked taste. However, on a propane grill it would work great. All you would need to do is put Cave Tools Smoker box on the top of one of the fuel lines and let it smoke. This is a great little invention for those just stating to learn how to smoke their own meat. The specs for this Smoker Box 25% thicker stainless steal (this prevents warping) Hinged lid for easy opening and closing Large wood chip capacity for thicker smoke No bottom holes this allows the wood chips to smoke and not catch fire Thi

So, to be honest, I had never used a meat tenderizer before. This tool is actually sort of neat. Before getting this tool, we would use a fork or knife to poke at the meat and then soak it in the marinade. It was a hit or miss as to whether it would taste like the marinade or just the meat. I was surprised with the way this actually made the meat taste better. My husband wasn't as quick to grab the ketchup or A1. Now, this has 48 VERY sharp blades. This should not be used by the younger crowd. This is only my opinion. Why should you try a meat tenderizer? A meat tenderizer can help break down the connective tissues in the meat. It reduces cook times, allows the meat to cook evenly, it absorbs the marinade quicker and softens up the meat. What is the difference between a blade tenderizer and a mallet style? The blade type pierces the meat and tenderizes while the mallet tenderizer uses force and usually just flattens the meat and breaks down the connective tissues. Both

I personally love this board. It is thick so will not bend under your cuts. I was cutting pretty hard and there are no marks on the mat. The green color is nice and bright. This won't get lost in the cupboards. You can roll up and "lock" into place to pour out the food you cut. VERY easy to wash, when done. I just used hot water and soap. I like that sort of clean up!

My 15 year old, daughter, loves to bake! The one thing she has repeatedly asked for is a rolling pin. There are many different rolling pins out there. You can get plastic, metal, ones with designs on them and wood. I have looked up so many of them to see which is the best. Plastic can melt a little over time or become misshapen. Metal has been a good contender on which one to pick. I thought just for the fun of it getting one with the little designs. But, after seeking it out. The dough can get stuck in some of the little grooves and then it's a mess. So wood it is! This does not have handles on the end, like some of the rolling pins. I have found that those tend to come loose after time. I like the one piece shape of this pin. This Lasten rolling pin is easy to use. Easy to wash, also. Which, if you have baked, that is a good product attribute. Baking is a messing thing in itself. I personally really liked this pin. You can purchase this rolling pin and it's 100% mo

I know that I said this in a recent post but we are a family who is always on the go. I am always in search of a new snack to keep on hand. It is nice to be able to grab and go. I can't always afford to stop somewhere to get the kids a treat. It gets way to expensive and with 10 people in the house, it's a no go. With all that said, Slammers are a great treat. I love that it is on the healthier side. Sometimes the quick snacks aren't so healthy. Slammers come in: Awesome- Acai, strawberry and apple Chill'n- Banana, blueberry, Butternut squash, Greek yogurt, and, yumberry Epic- Bananas, carrots, mangos, greek yogurt and real vanilla Pumped- Banana, mango, butternut squash, antioxidant grains and cinnamon We liked them.
