New Gadget: Grill Innovations Grill Plate

Thursday August 21, 2008
Grill Innovations' Grill Plate is a double layer aluminum baking plate. What it does is allow you to do is to convert your grill into a convection oven. Using direct heat, the Grill Plate allows rising heat to move around the plate and whatever you place on top of it. I've had one to play with for the last week or two and I have "baked" pizzas, bread, and even a cookie sheet full of frozen french fries. Considering it has been in the upper 90's around here for the past few weeks it has been great to not have to heat up the oven. The Grill plate, does what it promises, it really does let you put any dish you might want on the grill instead of the oven. This is definitely a great product for people living in parts of the country prone to hurricanes that may need to cook without electricity for long periods of time.

Now, I know what you are thinking. Rigging your grill for indirect cooking is will allow you to bake pretty much anything. What the Grill Plate lets you do is put a 9 x 13 baking dish right in the center of your grill, turn up the heat to 450 degrees and have plenty of room to work with. I'm sure that for some of you out there you can see the advantages of such an invention. To see what this device can really do check out the website for many other ideas.

Normally the Grill Plate sells for $89.95, but if you mention me and my website they will sell you one for $65 so you can save $15 because you were smart enough to drop by here.
