Were hot pocket sandwiches better back in the 40s? Most likely they were, even though they didn’t have microwaves. Strike that. Especially because they didn’t have microwaves. Instead, they apparently used the Toas-Tite Grill to whip up a quick and hot filled sandwich. Just clamp and hold over an open flame (like a gas burner) and you’ve got yourself some old school quick eats.

Product Description:
The Toas-Tite is Back! The much loved Toas-Tite grill was produced from 1945-1953, and then it disappeared. We don’t know why. About a year ago, my sister and I came up with the crazy idea of making exact replicas of the Toas-Tite grill from the 1940s. WE DID IT!!!!!!!! After making hundreds of Toas-Tites on our new grills, we’re sure you will enjoy them as much as we do. Makes a Luscious Sealed-In Drip Proof Toas-Tite Sandwich. Start a family Tradition, The Kids will Love Them. From Fruit Pies to Tuna Melts – the possibilities are endless.

I’m not really sure why Jim Beam’s name is on this Jim Beam Grill Basket, but as long as he brings the flavor, I’m not one to argue. Regardless, the grill accessory is well-suited for corralling small items and delicate foods–especially when hanging out with Jim Beam.

For some reason, beer cans do not come with handles. Not only would a handle be useful while imbibing, but also when making beer can chicken. Understanding this dilemma, the Rosle Beer Can Chicken Roaster incorporates a handle where before there was none. As for beer can drinking, well, just hold on tight. (Or use a mug.)

A good grill session requires one additional element aside from the fire and the food: relaxing! After the food is arranged, it’s time to kick back and enjoy the moment. Considering that the the new Shinwa Grill is a combination grill and dinner table, about the only question that would remain would be who is going to get up to get the beer? Keep reading for the press release and a link to the website. Maybe they package the Shinwa Grill with a beer cooler.

It only takes one time to learn the error of trying to grill a block or wheel of cheese by putting it directly on the grill. Fortunately, for many of us that one time never happened. Unfortunately, because we know cheese to melt, we never tried it. Luckily, for the adventurous and non-adventurous alike, there is a simple solution.

The Gourmet Cheese Grilling Planks are made from maple wood and are perfect for creating smoky and gooey melted cheese out on the grill. After soaking for one hour, the 6-inch square planks are ready to go. Place brie, cheddar, or whatever on the planks and create your own smoked cheese–without it falling into the fire. Can be reused if not too charred, although that might just bring more flavor to the party. For well under ten bucks, it’s an experiment worth trying.

When using barbecue sauce right out of the bottle there is little reason to pour it into a bowl before slopping it on the chicken and ribs. Why have an inbetweener? While emptying it out straight from the bottle might be fast, it’s not the best way to get maximum coverage, but slathering it on with a brush would do the trick. The Jokari Silicone Bottletop Baster lets grillmasters skip the mess and head straight to the good stuff. Just squeeze, baste and eat!
