Every Grill Girl Needs a Grill Wok

Cuisinart Non-Stick CNW-328 Grill Wok




Combinations of skewered vegetables, fruit and meat tease our taste buds, while watchfully grilled vegetable mixes taste as good if not better than any steamed vegetables.  Thick asparagus spears and large portobello mushroom caps can sit directly on a grill grate but other vegetables tend to slip through the grates. An inexpensive grill gadget turns meals into culinary adventures and turns grills into kitchens.  If you grill a lot, and you enjoy grilled vegetables, a Grill Wok is a must. 


Cuisinart’s Non-Stick Grill Wok makes it possible to grill and char combinations of vegetables over the flames. You won’t need to worry about sacrificing roasted jalapenos to the grill Gods. This makes it safe to cook chopped vegetables, roast peppers, or char green beans. Skinny asparagus cooks betters in the grill wok than directly on the grate.

Seen Your Leftover Onions Lately? I Didn't Think So...

Hutzler Onion Saver


The onion is a staple food at our house, so there are usually half onions (red, yellow or both) buried somewhere in our refrigerator. For years, we just stuck the partial back in the produce bag or tucked it in a zipper bag and tossed everything back into the crisper drawer. Weeks later, we'd find it again beneath the potatoes, somehow converted into the spawn of the slime monster that ate Cleveland (the little Cleveland, in Texas). Apparently lots of people have had that happen to half onions, so the folks at Hutzler produced yet one more made-in-China plastic gadget for our kitchen: the Onion Saver.
