got this in hopes to give it to my husband for father day and loved the idea of this set, but the quality of the one I received was not great. some things were great, but I couldn’t get over some other things about it… first thing I noticed was the awful smell, and I’m normally not super sensitive to the standard chemical smell a lot of items have, but this was just so potent I aired it out with everything out of it for 3 days and it’s still strong. next thing I noticed was the big logo printed on the side of the bag, if it were smaller I could get over it but it really just cheapened the set. lastly, one salt/pepper shaker didn’t have all the holes punched out, it was just the middle one that was punched out but you could see the marks for the others where they were supposed to go. needless to say, I’m sadly returning because for $50 I expected a lot more in terms of quality and appearance…
Poor quality, look nothing like the photos in the listing, a total waste of money. Unfortunately, I lost track of time and didn’t open them until the return window had closed, so now I’m stuck with 150 of these poor quality pieces of junk.
I wish I’d bought the Vortex sooner because it’s a Game changer for chicken wings and ribs. I bought the Medium size Vortex for a 22 inch Weber grill and it worked perfectly.
At first, it takes some getting used to using gloves for prepping food. Having always used my bare hands, I was used to having to wash my hands every 10 seconds. The gloves give you a free hand to season the food or pick up anything (phone, beverage). A quick wash later and you can use them to handle very hot food and pull the food out of the oven, grill, or bbq with ease. The gauntlet style make it easy to put on and remove with great protection well past my wrist. A magnet holds the gloves together at the inside wrist. It's strong enough not to allow them to seperate on their own but not too strong to give you any problem when I put them to use. They are especially good for pulling pork. The design still allows good dexterity to handle the food so I didn't need tongs. When you're done clean up was easy. Just put'em in the dishwasher.
Me encantó
So many good things to say about this kit. I wont detail each item as they list them all however, there are a few things that I am really excited about. First, it has every grill tool included and then it has all the little extras that you start to build up when you really get into grilling. They specifically mentioned this kit being good for a Blackstone however, we just use cast iron and a grill similar to what you would find in a park and all of these tools are useful even then. You won't have to buy a spatula, prongs, scraper, knife, kitchen scissors, apron, the list goes on. All of that was included. In fact, there are multiple types of spatulas depending on what is being done. For example, some are solid steel and others have drainage holes in them. I find the quality to be pretty decent for how many items are in this kit. For example, the handles are black plastic, but the business end is stainless steel and it seems to be well secured. Second, I was certain not everything was going to fit back in the bag. But except for three items, it did indeed all fit including the apron and all of the utensils. There is a domed lid for resting the meat or being able to add more flavor by putting a piece of hickory etc. underneath with the meat. of course that won't fit inthe bag. And also the scrubber for cleaning the grill is something that likely wouldn't be packed back in the bag either. That just leaves the burger press as I call it. So the bag will be able to hold 99% the items included. The bag is a pretty decent quality small duffel bag, just a single layer of canvas with a bit of water resistance coating like a gym bag. It has a carrying handle and a zipper. It is much smaller than a gym bag however and still holds a lot. The only assembly you really have to do is removing the plastic from all of the different tools. Other than that, there is a black plastic handle attached to the domed lid with a Phillips head screwdriver. I would highly recommend this gift for Father's Day of course. However, anyone that has Blackstone or just enjoys grilling and doesn't have all of the tools would probably get a lot of value out of receiving this. It even includes salt and pepper, shakers and condiment bottles along with a silicone glove. I think it covers the spectrum from a beginner griller to more experienced pretty well. There are items that are meant for items beyond me. For example, there are skewers for kabobs as well as some knobs for corn on the cob included. There are also some molds for shaping an egg omelette, pancake, etc. One is round and the other is in the shape of a heart. Overall, the quality seems decent as none of the items were flimsy. I think the bag is meant to be washable or rinsable depending on if out where the grilling is taking place (such as camping.) I would highly recommend it as a gift or just as a great place to start perfecting grilling. Beyond that, it's just very practical to have so many tools able to pack up in a nice bag and bring with you.
I was really hopeful that these were going to be useful and good quality. But they are not. The lid is dented. The bottles are dented in. The spatulas are scraped and scratched. The carrying bag is terrible quality. I am very disappointed and wish i would have bought a different set. Update I contacted the seller. They made this right. The things were damaged in transit. So they gave me a credit to repurchase if I wanted to. I appreciate the great customer service.
The first time I used the grill brush in this set multiple sets of wires started coming off and falling into the grill. I googled it and learned people go to the ER because these wires can be ingested if they get stuck in the food. Unbelievable. Literally, I heated up the grill and started brushing the grates and immediately this started happening. So dangerous. The rest of the tools seem fine. It even came with a multi-colored aztec case instead of the pictured black case...loved that. Super cool. But what's NOT cool, is almost sending my friends to the hospital because of an inferior product. Very disappointed, don't buy this set if you want a grill brush that's effective and safe to use.
This is absolutely stunning grill. We used it while camping for 2 nights on single set of AA batteries (needs 6 total). It is extremely easy to use, simple to adjust, very sturdy, easy to clean, ... it just could not be better! Few extremely minor tweaks I would change - the batteries could be part of the motor e.g. a simple clip with a short cord. It was on the ground, kids were tripping over it. I might use a zip tie next time - I would love to see the prongs L-shape instead of round (or separate add-on), it would hold smaller cuts better - the supporting add-on base is a bit narrow for US campground pits, maybe 2-5'' wider would be even better
Out of the box, the grip slid off the handle. I am going to try to use some silicone cement to secure it. Otherwise it seems sturdy.
When we opened the box, we found a wood chip from one of the handles loose next to the handle. (they each come wrapped individually) We almost sent the one grill press back! But my husband made a new handle (as seen in the photo) to replace the chipped one, and I like it much better. We really like the size of the press, as it nearly covers 3 slices of bacon, and works great on hamburgers as well. If we bought again, we'd know that there'd be a possibility of replacing a handle.
This griddle is described as ceramic coated aluminum and it is not any more. I received a stamped steel griddle coated in enamel. As you can see in the attached photos, the enamel is chipping off right out of the box. Please update the listing or go back to the original material (aluminum).
The soldering is very bad. If it does not arrive broken it will certainly break soon. I ordered the same product from two different sources and the same problem was in both. One had the wire grate knob broken and detached from the grate, the other had the black rotating base broken. The supplier must have known it was broken because they provided another knob in the box.
Might nor be what it's intended for, but I bought one for my grill, and one for household cleaning. Works fantastic!
Seemed like a good buy but after two uses the spatula fell apart.
