I used mid life crisis as my excuse, plus my wife likes my cooking, especially when I bring her some lunch to work on my days off. Her friends are envious, and she enjoys that. I will get some good pictures this weekend. I still can't decide what to cook though. I'm still pretty sold on fried rice, but the boss wants shrimp in it. I guess that is okay with me. Shrimp is like money, you can never have too much.

haha well bacon has to be part of the christening!!!

Well, I cooked on my new grill for breakfast this morning. I just fried bacon and eggs. I have to say, the thing worked great. It didn't stick at all. I seasoned it as per the instructions, then used some Pam on it too, and fried eggs, and even scrambled eggs with cheese in them didn' t stick. Tonight, I am smoking whole chickens and ribs though. I want to use my new grill somehow. I may saute some squash ond onions on it or something.

I got some of the bacon frying. I will get them on later. Was in a hurry to eat so I forgot about the eggs.

Here is your bacon frying: That is a whole package. Looks kind of small with all that open grill around.

I don't know what it is about cooking outside, but it seems to make everything better. I am doing Fajitas on this grill Monday for a few places. I'm taking orders from some of the local businesses, so I will be sure and get more pics.

sure does!!!!

it is great cooking outside but in florida here i was sweating bad making breakfast this morning out there, so does the griddle heat nice and evenly?

 

[mikedixon]

I didn't notice any hot/cold spots. It seemed to be very good to me. It takes a couple of minutes to heat up because the top is made from such heavy material, which is fine by me. I like the quality. It was the best 319 bucks I have ever spent. Like I said, I will do a big cook on it this coming Monday, I can tell you more then.

does the wind affect it? looks like it wouldnt let the wind i nto blow the flame out?

 

[mikedixon]

It doesn't seem like that's going to be a problem. The burners are well inside of the main enclosure, so it should be fine. You should go ahead and buy you one, you will like it. Just be sure and season it good. Just don't blame it on me for your buying it, I don't need any more spouses mad at me, one is enough!

 

[pandemonium]

lol damn you are pushin me over the edge haha, sams didnt have them for awhile now they have them back so i am like ready to go for it, i sure

as hell dont need it but i want it!!

 

[mikedixon]

I try to justify it to myself that that's the reason I work, so I can buy a bunch of crap I don't really need, plus it's really cool to have a 3 ft. wide solid cast iron cook top!

 

[pandemonium]

im with your way of thinking minus the job, but ill justify it another way haha

 

[pandemonium]

Just ordered it from Amazon!!!!! was 21$ cheaper there since i didnt have to pay sales tax like Sams wanted

That thing even makes a whole pound of store bought Bacon look small!

Probably get 10 pounds on there with room to spare!!!

Even more if you crowd it like I jam Bacon into my Frying Pan!

Awesome!
