Yoshi Grill Mats | Unsolicited Review

OmahaSteaks.com, Inc.

 

Summer is the season for grilling and I am not going to lie, I’m NOT a good griller.  I never know how long to keep the meat on the grill so it usually ends up being overcooked, dry or burned.

I received an iDevices Bluetooth connected kitchen thermometer from @SwitchToTurkey, but haven’t had a chance to program it.  I love seeing grill marks on meat but never put it directly onto the grates, only onto a piece of non-stick foil.

We purchased a Char Broil Red grill in 2010 but the bottom pans have already rusted away so the flames chars the food more than it cooks it.  

One evening hubby heard me complaining about the grill so he took it upon himself to order a Yoshi Grill Mat, one of those “As Seen On TV” items, he’s such a sweet man!

It seemed like it took forever to arrive but when it finally did, I was far from impressed.

Yoshi Grill Mats

Not having seen the commercial I wasn’t sure how these “plastic” mats were going to work on a hot propane grill, so I didn’t bother to use them for over a week.  

When I finally decided to give them a try I was truly surprised and thoroughly pleased with the results!  I used one mat for the chicken but wasn’t sure about the veggies so I kept them in the pan before placing them onto their own grill mat.

It was true, the chicken and veggies cooked nicely and there were even grill marks.  Nothing burned or dried out, everything was moist – these Yoshi Grill Mats will definitely be used on the grill for the rest of the season.

For dessert I made this watermelon summer salad after seeing it on a Google+ post, which was a perfect way to end the meal.

Deals at Ross

Today after work I stopped at Ross to make a return and took a few extra minutes to check out the latest health and beauty products. One thing about Ross is that there is always a small variety of hair care/body products, cosmetics and “As Seen On TV” items, but there is never an overstock of any of them. If you see something today it may not be there next week or it might never be stocked again but there is always a bargain to be found.

AS SEEN ON TV – CERAMIC GREEN NON-STICK FRY PAN – PASS

Okay, so I broke down and purchased another “AS SEEN ON TV” product, the Ceramic Green Non-Stick Fry Pan from Target for $19.99.  My oldest son has been cooking scrambled eggs since he was in Junior High School, so I chose him to test the scramble.  Hubby thinks he is the pancake king so he tried it out on two large ones and I tested it on a fried egg.  Each passed with flying colors and the clean up was quick and easy, which in my book makes it definitely worth the price.

$19.99 purchased from Target

I seasoned it as per the instructions on the label

Image

Lightly oil the pan and heat until it just begins to smoke

Image

I wiped it out and then my son made his scrambled eggs – PERFECT – no oil, butter or grease used.

Image

Image

He loves cheese…lots of it!

Image

Perfectly prepared non-sticking scrambled eggs with cheese

Next hubby and his pancakes

It flipped easily and slid out of the pan (I missed the shot)

Image

I am not an egg eater but I tested the pan on a fried egg

Image

It didn’t “swing around” the pan as advertised on tv, but it was definitely non-stick

Clean up was easy breezy!

Image

Definitely worth the $19.99!
