   Serves its purpose although a bit pricey for what it is designed for. I enjoy it and I guess it just looks fancy.

   This thing is an indispensable piece of seafood boil gear. Very high quality construction. I bought it on the basis of the earlier review by Deal Seeker and I have to wholeheartedly agree with everything he said.

   The bottom line here is safety. I’d much rather drop a few bucks on this thing than burning myself. Pick one up!

   If you have an 80 quart pot and need to carry the meal this is a great option to have handy!

   This is a very handy and sturdy tool for lifting hot strainer baskets out of the stock pot after the food is cooked and needs to drain. (I have used mine for crawfish and accompanying vegetables only.) This is a much safer and way more sanitary method than using the “oar stir paddle” (which is what I used to use)to lift these heavy, hot strainer baskets. The “notch” bend in the middle of this bar keeps the basket from sliding and the bends in the ends of the bar keep your hands from sliding. This bar requires 2 people to use and allows precise handling while draining hot liquids or carrying the basket around. I also have a “King Kooker” basket draining rack that I use in conjunction with this bar to easily and cleanly drain baskets. This is a “scissor” shaped flat stainless bar device that sits over the top rim of the pot after you have lifted the basket out. The basket then sits on this rack and drains cleanly back into the pot without you having to hold it in place. (Bayou Classic should make a similar device!!) This bar is actually 42″ long rather than 34″ as advertised. It seems rather expensive, but it is a quality, safety, useful, “decadent man toy” item that will last forever. YOU MUST HAVE IT!!

   This little thing came in handy when it was time to lift the basket out. Two guys easily lifted out 30# of crawfish, 10# of potatoes, and 24 cobs of corn. I was worried it might bend but it held up great!

   There is no way we would have gotten our boil basket out of the pot without this. It made the task much more efficient.
   I would say if you have a large boil pot – mine is 80 quarts this is a must have item!
