Amazing product. we used it over the weekend to:

A: make a low fire to cook amazing blueberry cobbler in a cast iron pot surrounded by hot coals.

and

B: Make a tall-ish campfire to warm the 10-12 people around it, and give good lighting, without too much smoke.

we used it with hardwood firewood and not with anything you would use to light a grill; just matches, tinder and wood. YMMV.

Full disclosure: The amazing cobbler may have biased my opinion.

Design is great and convenient for travel. The included bag was a great idea. However, after ONE use the lid rusted after being out overnight. For an outdoor product, this should be made out of better materials.

This is a great portable fire pit. The legs are attached and easily fold in so putting it away is a breeze. I haven't tried to cook on it, but we've used it for roasting marshmallows and it was wonderful. It contained the fire well and once we were done we cleaned it, folded it up, and put it in the bag that comes with it.

Honest reviews on Fire Sense 29 in. Folding Fire Pit and PVC Cover

Can't beat it! Comes with a bbq grate, wood grate, screen dome cover with a tool to lift it so you don't burn your hands, and a carry bag. NO ASSEMBLY. Of course it's not super heavy duty, but I don't put my feet up on the side and have had several people adults and kids of all ages around this and had no problems whatsoever. The 4 legs are so easy to fold out and they do lock in place so they won't collapse. We wanted one of these for a long time, and with free Prime Shipping you can't beat it. When it rains I just flip it over so it doesn't hold water. We will fold up and put away in bag when winter arrives. I literally took it out of the box, popped the legs out, and voila. This is very versatile as you can use it at home, and pack it up to take camping or to share with friends.

First of all let me say I love my Weber Baby Q. My wife got it for me 8 years ago for a wedding present and this thing has been a great grill for tailgates and NASCAR trips.

This has to be the worst grill I've ever operated. My last grill was a cheap Walmart Model that lasted about 6 years and I Had a hand me down before that so I'm not comparing this too a Weber or anything. The flair-ups are horrible even on the lowest setting. Assembly was easy, and that's about the only thing it has going for it.

The cooking surface was not well coated and the food stuck to it easily. The plate over the burner is made from very thin, cheap looking metal that looks like it won't last long and little to prevent flair-ups. Cooking surface is also too close to the burner/plate. Even on the lowest settings the flair ups would rocket temps to 600 degrees, quickly charring the steak (it does not have a temp gauge, but I used an internal one). If you like burnt on the outside and not cooked on the inside this is the grill for you. Impossible (as designed) to cook properly, steak should not be blackened, as is carcinogenic, yet impossible to prevent with this grill. I'm going to try briquettes before completely giving up on it, only because I already assembled it and don't want the hassle of returning.

I guess it's what I get for buying an American made product of this type and expecting quality while getting a poor design and cost cutting on surface coatings, etc. I would like to buy American; even bought this two burner for about the same cost as a stainless four burner made overseas. I read the rave reviews here and ignored a bad review of a similar model by the same manufacturer (that also complained about the flair-ups). So disappointed.

My Amazon ordered for this grill was filled very quickly, ordered on Saturday and it arrived on Thursday. No damage to the box and everything inside was fine. I'm a very slow "assembler" but it took only 90 minutes from opening the box to grilling. Most importantly NO moments of frustration/anger during assemble. Construction is very good, considering it's an inexpensive grill and the instructions where not that difficult to understand.

About the grilling it has an even and HOT fire. Have done burgers and a few steaks and I'm very happy with the results. No flare ups.

I've always bought more expensive grills $500+ and the result for grilling steaks was no better than the Huntington. When the Huntington starts showing its age, I'll replace it with a new one. With my previous expensive grills, I had to nurse them along a few more years, to get my money's worth.

For everyday grilling for the two of us this grill is perfect.

Reviews of The Vidalia Charcoal And Gas Grill Model 628

The Vidalia Charcoal And Gas Grill Model 628
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
The Vidallia 628 propane gas grill has features found on no other make. As claimed, it cooks from the top down when food is placed on the non burner side. It cooks evenly, and the fat drips into the provided drip pan, which MUST be kept partly filled with water to prevent damage to the pan. You can also cook directly over the burners, and they do a fine job as well. Flare-ups are nonexistent on the non burner side, and much less than with most grills on the burner side. The grills and the pan lift out easily for cleaning, and I recommend cleaning them after each use. You can also use charcoal on the burners, producing a cooking experience quite like that of a charcoal grill. I've also used soaked wood chips on the burners to get a smoked effect, but it's certainly not like a smoker. One problem is that keeping the temperature at a low enough level for smoking is difficult if there is any breeze. This model seems to be waterproof and can be lift out in the weather, unlike the Weber Genesis. There is also a slide out pan under the burners that will collect charcoal or wood ashes, making it easy to clean.

On the down side, the whole unit is made from very lightweight metal, mostly aluminum in the stand, with stainless steel top, grills, and pan. The knobs are small, and the rollers are also very wimpy. It is put together with small hardware and has considerable flex to it. It is lightweight enough that a strong wind will move it around on a deck. It does not compare with, for example, the Weber Genesis in quality of materials or fit, but it outperforms the Weber hands down. One flaw is that a medium breeze will also blow out the burners. Vidallia knows this, and suggested putting aluminum foil over the vent holes when it's windy. That's a Micky Mouse solution and doesn't work very well. I'm going to try fastening metal screen wire over them instead. The unit is overpriced for the quality of the materials, but I still like it enough to recommend it.

The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that the front are of the grid is 1/3 (or very little :)) above the slot, because the width (depth?) of the grid is bigger than the slot it is supposed to fit, so now my front area of the grill has lower temperature than the back, but the difference is minimal.

Reviews of Weber Genesis EP-330 Grill - Black - 6531301 - Propane

Weber Genesis EP-330 Grill - Black - 6531301 - Propane
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

The Genesis EP series is Weber's mid-line set of grills. I had had one of their lower line gas grills for about eleven years, "stored" outside the whole time, uncovered, in a winter climate. While it still works, it was finally starting to fall apart (possibly from repeatedly burying it in snow) and was showing decreased performance, so I decided to get a new grill and move up some in quality. My main criticism of the lower line grill was that it didn't do as good a job as I'd like searing fish and steak. So, I was tempted by Weber's Summitt series of grills, that have higher btu's (48,000 btu). But, I found the >$1,500 price tags for the Summitt series pretty discouraging, and was going to settle for an E-310, which has 38,000 btu's. Then, I came across the EP-330. This grill has an additional 10,000 btu burner located between two of the three standard burners, and so in that region of the grill probably outdoes the Summitts in heat/searing ability. Overall, the grill puts out the same as the Summitt (48 K btu). And, the Genesis series have a double-walled hood, which helps heat retention, especially in a windy climate. It also has a stainless steel grate, which I like. Basically, with the EP-330, you're getting all the performance of the Weber Summitt series, but at a little bit more than half the price (at this writing, ~$850 vs >$1,500). Assembly was straightforward, and build quality is extremely high: far superior to my previous (very sturdy/long-lasting) lower line Weber. Everything about it screams out sturdiness and high quality. And, the performance has been outstanding. It will truly sear a fish steak or beef steak to give nice carbonizing on the outside with a rare/medium rare interior. And, the double walled grill top has meant I've been able to use the thing even on windy days. It's hard for me to imagine a better grill than this: sturdiness, quality, performance and price are all great. VERY highly recommended!

I've had a Weber grill in the past, and thought it was great, but this new EP-330 is simply terrific! The sear station feature cooked thick steaks perfectly in minutes -it put beautiful sear marks on the meat and a nice crust on both sides, and the middle was still medium rare and juicy as could be. All of the controls have a great feel to them, and igniting this grill couldn't be easier (my last grill, not a Weber unfortunately, had to be coaxed with multiple tries to start). The mark of a great grill is how hot it gets, and this one had its stainless steel flavorizor bars glowing cherry red in minutes -I've never seen a grill do that before! It gets wickedly hot, and fast, too! The stainless steel grates are not the cheap, flimsy type used by other grill manufacturers -they're thick, heavy and solid stainless steel. The only knock I have is the two hours it takes to put this thing together, and it really requires two people to assemble it properly, but it's worth it. I wish I had replaced the old grill with this beauty a lot sooner. It's simply the best grill I have ever owned, and I've had many over the years.

I have always been a wood fire BBQ kind of guy I like meat cooked over a *real* flame, and even charcoal has always seemed to me like cheating (though I've been using charcoal Weber kettle grills for 20 years). I never even considered a gas grill for myself for these reasons.

For my senior Mom & Dad, however, the task of lighting charcoal, etc was too much hassle, so this past weekend I went out shopping for a gas grill for them. After going back and forth between three different home centers and Costco, I settled on this unit as by far the best "bang for the buck" in terms of build quality, performance characteristics, and ease of use for under $500. I seriously considered going up to the Weber Genesis, but for 50% more, I just couldn't quite justify it. My requirement was good quality for under $500. At this price point, its all about QPR (quality price ratio)...

After about a one-hour erector set project putting it all together (not difficult, just tedious and time consuming), I fired it up and let heat for about 10-15 minutes to get the manufacturing residue completely burned off. I was immediately impressed with how hot the cooking surfaces became (and how quickly). The nifty temp sensors at the grate level registered 700+ degrees, though I don't know how accurate they really are.

After burn-off, I tried it out with what I have found to be one of the trickiest things to grill over open flame (gas or wood/charcoal): raw marinated bone-in chicken parts. To be done right, the chicken has to be crispy on the outside not burned, and moist and completely cooked on the inside. With unevenly shaped and sized chicken parts, this can be devilishly tricky.

But with this grill, I found I was able to keep the left most burner at full throttle, and the two right burners at low settings and get creative. This allowed me to beautifully sear the skin using the left side of the grill, then finish cooking on the right side (with the BBQ closed). The results were impressive for a gas grill, which in my experience usually turn out either damp, gray, limp chicken with no BBQ taste, or something resembling the effects of a structure fire (charred and dried out) .

One of my favorite things about this grill turned out to be that it is really easy to add wood chips for smoke flavor. Because there is a perforated metal "screen" (the infrared reflector) under the food, it catches the wood chips and holds them at a perfect smoking temperature where they will smolder but not burn up.

Speaking of flare-ups, this grill did NOT exhibit flare-ups at all. Even with fatty pieces of chicken that had been marinated in an olive oil mixture, there was almost no burning or excessive smoking, even on the "searing" side of the hot grill.

When turned down low, I also found the evenness of the heating surface to be impressively consistent, and the large stainless "grill" surface not only made great marks on the food, but also did not stick as badly as most coated steel or iron grill surfaces do.

On the con side, I can imagine that the perforated screen is going to require some periodic maintenance to keep it clean. The good news is that it comes out in three easy-to-handle sections shaped like little trays, each holding a section of grill. You pull the "tray" up and out, then lift the grill surface out of the tray making both very easy to clean.

One final note I also prepared a boneless leg of lamb on the grill using a "generic" rotisserie (Grill-Pro brand). it *barely* fit between the closed lid and the grill surface, but again, the infrared cooking system worked great. I warmed it up at full throttle for about 5-10 minutes before mounting the marinated lamb roast, then allowed it to sear beautifully for about 15 minutes. Then I turned the burners all down to their lowest settings, threw on a thumb-sized stick of oak from one of our trees, and dropped the lid.

An hour and a half later, we enjoyed one of the best lamb roasts I have ever had.

Recommended, especially if you can get it for the price I paid (which was about less than Amazon's currently listed price)

Pros:

*Great heat output for searing. I've not used a gas grill that gets a hotter cooking surface (other than commercial equipment)

*Even distribution of heat for predictable results, very little flare-up.

*Good low-temp performance

*Easy to use wood chips for flavor, unlike many gas grills

*Good (for its price-point) build quality in the hood and firebox. Cabinets are thin stainless steel.

Cons:

*Bottom 1/2 of construction is a bit flimsy, but better than many at this price point

*Requires pre-heating for about 10 minutes for best results

*Periodic clean-up will be required for optimum performance, and cleanup will be messy

My girlfriend purchased this grill for me about 3 months ago and I have used it about 30 times mostly for steaks, chicken breasts, and hamburgers. It has decent size cooking area. I can cook 9 huge steaks at the same time. Unless you plan on having a lot of cookouts with more than 20 people there then it is plenty big enough (and even then it is adequate). It is very easy to regulate the temperature of the grill because of the thermometer at the grilling surface so once you find a temperature that cooks the food the way you like it, it is easy to duplicate the desired results with amazing consistency (when i grill steaks i heat up the grill to 650 degrees and throw the steaks on for 7 minutes on each side to get a good sear, then I turn the burners off completely until the temperature drops to 400, then I fire it up and put it on low and close the grill...it gives me a great sear on the outside and is extremely tender on the inside). I haven't had a single flare-up...even on the fattiest piece of meat drenched in olive oil. I only have two small complaints. Cleaning the grill is more difficult than with a conventional grill (but besides scraping off the grates i only clean it once a month so it's not a big deal. That causes it to be less efficient but I'm lazy after eating a big meal so as long as the food comes out ok then I'm happy). The only other complaint I have is that the stainless steel grates do get stained and they aren't very attractive looking after a few uses but I don't really mind that. As long as they're functional I'm happy. Overall I would highly recommend it and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's difficult to clean.

The big advantages of this grill are even heating and flavor. Even low fat content hamburgers came out juicy and did not shrink. The manufacturer claims that it uses 30% less fuel and it does cook faster than open flame barbeques, but there is a full power 10-15 minute warm up and then another high heat period after you finish to burn off cooking residue so total gas use may actually be more than claimed.

It does not flare up but the screens underneath the grills need to be cleaned or the heat output will drop off. This grill requires more maintenance each time than an open flame unit but it is worth it. Our previous Brinkman BBQ completely rusted out (burners, supports, firebox) after five years but we didn't take very good care of it

A couple of neat features are that you can rotisserie without a special burner, you can add wood chips without a smoker box and there are separate thermometers at grill height for each burner. This latter feature makes temperature control especially easy and accurate at the cooking surface.

All in all very pleased with this grill. Time will tell just how durable it will be, but the screens should protect the firebox and burners better than an open flame BBQ. Burners are lifetime warranty.

Honest reviews on Char-Broil TRU Infrared 3-Burner Gas Grill with Side burner

I'm not sure I buy all the physics they claim is behind this but I do speak highly of the results. I cooked hot dogs, turkey burgers, and bone-in chicken breasts. I was very impressed by the results for all three, especially the chicken. Hot dogs are a no brainer. The turkey burgers were a bit tricky because the soft meat could fall into the grills. The saving factor here is that the grill cooks things very quickly once it's warmed up. The surface of the burger on the bottom cooked before the burgers could really sag much into the grates. What really amazed me was the quality of the chicken breasts. I cooked 5 very different sized breasts at the same time. The outsides on all of them were brown and crispy, the insides were moist and cooked all the way through. I added bbq sauce in the last minutes of cooking. These were the best grilled chicken breasts I've ever cooked. I have no doubt I'll be able to repeat these results for all kinds of meat with a little practice.

One noteworthy item the booklet in the box doesn't mention this but the website does season the grates with vegetable oil before cooking for the first time. This will inhibit rusting and should make the meats stick less to the grates. It took me a while to find this tip on the website but make sure you find it and follow the directions, it's a must for these grills.

I give it four stars because the grates/emitters will definitely be harder to clean than a normal open grate. I will likely (I haven't done it yet) just remove the grates and scrape the emitter plates clean with a plastic (when the grill is cold obviously) or metal putty knife. The grates can clean themselves or I can just knock the big chunks off.

I've only had the grill for a couple of days so I can't say how well the materials will hold up over time. Regarding customer service, one of the small bumpers for the lid was broken when I got the grill. I used the website to report the problem and had a response and order for replacement bumpers within 3 hours of my request. Note I had already followed their registration process (easy too).

As my Weber had seen better days, I set of to investigate current grills at several home improvement and hardware stores. As an avid grill user, I am a big fan of using different favored wood chips. With most grills, this can be very tricky, messy, and dangerous to do.

I was intrigued when I saw the Char-Broil Quantum Infrared system and the easy design for using wood chips. I also felt that the quality of the products I reviewed appeared to be sturdy in design. As I was surprised that these units cost a third of the price of my prior Weber grills, I decided to go online and do further research.

After reading many reviews, I ordered my unit. Although it took about two hours to assemble, after doing the initial burn off and oil seasoning, I have had the opportunity to cook many meals on this unit.

First, if you like to use wood chips, you're going to think you died and went to heaven. The best and easiest system I have ever used. The two piece grate system works great at also eliminating flare-ups and providing even heat distribution as mentioned in many other reviews.

The drawback to this system is it does require additional maintenance. However, the two piece system is easy the lift out (in three separate sections), and is easy to clean. Well worth the time for anyone looking for a consistent cooking system that works.

One thing I felt this unit lacked, was hooks to hang cooking utensils on, however there was room to drill a few holes on the left side of stand and add a few S hooks.

Overall I give this a five star rating based features and pricing, and feel that anybody can learn to be the perfect chef with this grill.

Most of the Weber equipment is excellent (if pricey), but their vinyl covers are not very good. The material does not breathe, and while the latest versions have apparently eliminated the mesh air circulation vents which also allowed rain to pour onto the grill, they now presumably will have issues with condensation in hot weather... I have tried two of these Weber covers (with vents), and in addition to leaking, both have cracked after a couple of season's exposure to the California sun. Overall I have been quite disappointed.

As an alternative, check out the Veranda BBQ Cart Cover. This is a *far* superior design, and costs less as well! The material is a tough nylon weave (similar to soft-luggage) with a polyester backing and piping at the key seams. The elastic cinch on both ends, combined with nylon buckles at each leg ensure that the cover will stay in place during even the highest winds. There are rain-protected vents directly over the left/right tables, with inner 'no-see-um mesh' to stop bugs. Even the built-in handles to simplify removal are a nice touch and work well.

The Large size fits our Weber Summit S-470 perfectly. The edge seams line-up exactly, and the bottom hem rests on the cart wheels. I first tried the XL (which is supposedly the 'right' size for the 400-series), but the seams were off by several inches and the cover also drooped on the ground. Presumably the XL would fit the Summit 600-series instead.

I've had my S-470 for about 2 weeks without a cover and when it rains, water channels into the cabinet and into the drip pan where it mixes with the grease and overflows into the cabinet and anything in there. I've had to clean up disgusting messes twice already. This cover has vents in the top that allow water to come right in and allows this to happen even when it is covered. Why in the world they wouldn't put the vents on the upper sides is beyond me, but you do not want this cover!

Weber told me they redesigned the cover (based on "customer feedback" they said) and removed the vents and told me to order from their store to make sure I got a new, redesigned one. So I did and asked the sales rep to make sure that I got one of the new ones. When it showed up, it had the vents in the top anyways.

I'm now waiting on Weber to ship out the correct cover, but they don't know when it will be shipped. In the meantime, I'll have to throw a tarp over it or something. Do not buy this grill cover unless you are absolutely sure you are getting one without the top vents. I can't believe they didn't give them different model numbers so that you could be sure of what you are ordering, but right now it is a crap shoot, even if you are dealing directly with them.

Follow-up: I finally received the new version of this cover from Weber and it seems to be identical except no vents. Happy to finally have a usable cover, but I still recommend that you purchase directly from Weber or someone else that you can specifically ask for one without vents. If you order from Amazon and they send one with vents, you might be able to return it, but I'm not sure what you would do then to ensure you get one without vents.

I've had this grill for about a month and a half now and have used it quite a bit. Everything works like it should and I'm very happy with it. Of course, I've had to adjust the way I cook things. This grill's interior temperature gets very hot (550+F without searer, 700+ F with searer) using high on the controls; so I've learned to turn things down while cooking. The rotissary works really well and the infarred burner provided even cooking. Indirect cooking is really good as you preheat four burners, then turn off the two center burners. Havng both outer burners on eliminated worrying about wind/draft flow. The smoker box with it's own designated burner allows you to control how much wood smoke you want. Note that smaller pieces of wood burn within approx 15 mins. If you're smoking longer, larger pieces are recommended. Just make sure you can still close the lid to the smoker box. The side burner is large and strong enough to hold larger pans and pots. Had no problem bringing larger pots of water to a full boil. Only once did a stronger breeze blow out the burner when the burner was on low.

The Weber 7554 Premium Cover is designed for this series. It fits like it should and is very easy to take off and put on. The mesh air vents are located over the side burner and side shelf. It allows sufficient air flow to allow moisture to escape from under the cover. Naturally, having vents allows rain to get in, but it drains right off and doesn't become standing water on any parts. Weber states that most grills can rust/corrode is a nonvented cover is used. In fact, there is some opinion that a cover shouldn't be used. Personally, I like the fact that the cover keeps the unit clean from tree, bug and bird droppings.

As I mentioned above, I'm very happy with my producta from Weber. It is truely unbelievable the difference in quality from other brands.

Honest reviews on Weber 7554 Premium Cover, Fits Summit S-400-Series Grills

It is a nice cover in general, but there are vents on each end over the side shelves. My grill has a rotissire and burner on the side shelves and they get wet when it rains. Will be returning and getting another cover without the vents......they should have been put on the ends under the shelves.....if ventilation was so important.

Expensive but it is high quality and a must for your new Summit Grill. Fits like a glove and will do its job in a wind storm. Heavy material and side panels are adjustable for high winds.

These pipe burners fit my grill as measured, and provide a good consistent flame. I could see no problems with the product.

Very good replacement burner set (3 stainless steel burners). They fit exactly like the original burners, with the exception that the mounting legs were about 1/8 inch longer (which was a great benefit). This made it easy to screw in the burner mounting screws. The original burners, having slightly shorter mounting legs, were almost impossible to loosen the the mounting screws without drilling them out or using a vise-grip plier on their back side to remove them.

The Hypo shop had a very good (very low) price and very fast standard delivery (took only three days to receive). We highly recommend them.

Perfect fit. Prefect price. Better than the original. I had to wait for it to heat up just to see if it was on, it burns so quiet and nice.

Honest reviews on 10361 (3-pack) Straight Stainless Steel Pipe Burner for Nexgrill

Just as the title says. They're no better or worse, but the price was definitely right. The old ones were rusted & burned out after five years use and three years in storage. I looked at some other models that were $30+ apiece and just couldn't justify it right now. Installation was fairly easy once I got the front control panel of the grill taken off and it gave me a chance to tighten some fasteners that had worked loose, and vacuum the unit out. I may buy another set for when these burn out. Would definitely recommend for the price and fit alone.

I love the product. It was reasonably priced, and fit like a glove. My grill is now burning nice and even. Installation took a few minutes. I found that I used a phillips for the screws that were exposed and a box wrench for the screws that were obscured by the venturi tubes. I installed the tubes to the burner prior to installing the assembled tubes and burner onto the unit. I used my burner with natural gas; no adjustment was necessary. I did not find a way to modify airflow with an adjustable venturi, but the mixture works for me almost a unifom blue flame. The left side get a bit hotter than the right side of my grill, bt that could simply have been the wind against the grill.

I got to 450 deg in 15 minutes. Steady state was roughly 520, a little later.

For what its worth I ordered the wrong size cast iron burner (100% my fault, wrong part number) so I was able to compare cast iron to stainless for similar products. The stainless burner seemed to be well put together. The cast iron burner did not seem as dimensionally stable. The seems of the cast iron were a bit sloppy not so with the stainless part. It looked factory original these people know stainless, that is probably their forte.

My burner that came with my broil-mate was mostly rusted away to nothing after 7 seasons. This replacement seems like it is at least of equal quality if not better than the original. It comes with a new venturi as well, which is good since my original was also mostly rusted away. If the burner is not made by the same factory that made the original, they did a great job copying it. Side by side the new and the old look almost identical.

My only suggestion is to measure your original burner and compare them to the dimensions in the picture. I bought a cast iron burner replacement first. The description said it was the right burner for my grill, and I took their word for it, neglecting to measure my original burner first. When it arrived, it was 5" narrower and the venturi's would not reach. After I measured my old parts I found this burner with the exact dimensions I needed, but my grill was not among the listed grills in the description. Measure your parts and order based on dimension, not their description.

These do the job, sort of. They're cheaply made (thus the price) and I wish I would have spent a little more money for nicer ones. They're really narrow, so salt goes on your table and not in the tray. Plus they're pretty shallow so they tip easily. They're not quite long enough either making pickig up the corn with handles slightly difficult. They're thin plastic but that doesn't appear to be a problem. We'll see how long I tolerate them before more substantial ones are purchased.

Ideal for casual outdoor grilling since you don't need anything fancy. Consists of cheap plastic, but that was what I expected from the price. Got several complements, not for the quality, but for the functionality. I would buy again.

These are nice holders to put your ear of corn in. Easy to wash and store. I had only four and needed more for company, so ordered 8. Love them.

Honest reviews on GrillPro 41595 4 Corn Butter Trays with 8 Holders

Corn holders are a thing from the 60's/70's. hard to find unless you shop thrift stores and then they are usually made of glass. Plastic much safer with children.

These lightweight, plastic corn dishes are the right size and shape to hold most ears of corn (even with the holders plugged into the ends of the cobs), but when you try to spin the corn to redistribute the butter, they roll over, too. They are basically curved with four very tiny pegs on the bottom. There's no stability. If you move the corn or the dish with the corn in it...they just tip over. For this reason, they're going to the thrift shop. Thank goodness it wasn't a large waste of money, but it was still a waste of money.
