Weber 2245001 Blue Genesis Silver A Propane Gas Grill Average Customer Review:  Lawn & Patio list price: $429.00 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Weber's Genesis Silver A brings the convenience and precision of gas cooking to the great outdoors. This system gives grillers enough cooking space for four large steaks, but the real value in this grill lies in its durability. The porcelain-coated steel lid is exceptionally strong and designed never to rust, fade, or peel. Two long-lasting stainless-steel burners--each with its own temperature control--cook countless meals evenly and efficiently. And the heat- and weather-resistant plastic work surfaces, handles, and wheels stand up to years of use. Using this gas grill is easy. The push-button ignition system means you don't have to fuss with flints or matches. The grates and heat distributors are made from easy-to-clean porcelain-enameled steel and are designed to prevent flare-ups. The funneled bottom tray directs grease and cooking juices into a tidy, removable catch pan. And, if you're always wondering just how much propane is left in your tank, you'll love the accurate and easy-to-read fuel gauge that comes standard on this grill. The barbecue pioneers at Weber know how to load up a grill with extras. The Silver A comes with a cooking box thermometer that doubles as a meat thermometer for more precise cooking needs. A rear warming rack is handy for keeping foods hot without overcooking. Utensil hooks and a removable exterior work area keep you organized as you spice, baste, poke, and turn your culinary creations. And a cookbook introduces you to an impressive array of grilling standards, from sizzlin' soul food to haute cuisine. This grill comes partially assembled with clear step-by-step instructions. Even inexperienced grill mechanics can put it together in about an hour. ... Read more Features Reviews (5)

The Barbecue! Bible Average Customer Review:  Paperback (06 January, 1998) list price: $19.95 -- our price: $13.57 (price subject to change: see help) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review There's a world of grilled food out there, and Steven Raichlen seems to have wandered through all of it the State Department deemed "safe." No Afghanistan, for instance. No Iraq. But not to worry. Any decent conflict produces refugees, and nothing travels quite so easily as your own way with food. So Raichlen availed himself of restaurant cooks in this country where and when he had to--all to get right down to the meat of it. "Barbecue," as Raichlen points out, is a confusing word in the U.S. because it means so many things, up to and including slow-cooked barbecue with its smoky aroma and succulent charm. The word stands in for the tool itself. It's an event. It's food. It's the style of cooking. To set the record straight, 90 percent of Raichlen's recipes (there are more than 500, from drinks to appetizers to main courses, salads, and desserts, not to mention sauces and dry rubs) are for grilled foods--and that can mean cooked on a hot grill, a moderately hot grill, a relatively cool grill, or an indirectly heated grill (which is more like an oven than a grill, but that's another story). Raichlen gets into some barbecue recipes: pork ribs, for example, or beef brisket, or chicken. But the reader would be better advised to look elsewhere for instruction specific to barbecue (cooking for long periods of time with smoke at low heat). The results will be more appealing. But grilling. Well, Steven Raichlen has a lock on grilling. This book is absolutely overwhelming it is so deep, so comprehensive, so far-reaching, so all-encompassing. This isn't one of those chefs with taste memories from a grill in Barbados, now let's try to jazz it up and be clever kind of books. No. This is a book by an author who squatted in the market in Vietnam eating whole grilled eggs dipped in a special sauce, and he gives you the recipe and the technique. You could go set up your own egg-grilling stand in a Vietnamese market with this book. You could open shop in Central or South America. Or North Africa. Or the Middle East. Or Korea. Anywhere food is grilled--be that meat, poultry, seafood, or vegetables--Raichlen's been there and brought home the goods. The real goods. But there's another angle, too. Raichlen freely shares his travel experiences with you, making this a valuable travel book. And he freely shares his techniques, too, telling you exactly how he learned and all about who taught him. His book is worth it just for the section on salads and sauces. Start there and work your way from cover to cover. Hey, take all summer trying. You won't regret it. Your life will never be the same. You'll probably find yourself thinking that if one grill in the backyard is good, two is no doubt better. See? You're already on your way. Let Steven Raichlen be your guide. --Schuyler Ingle ...

Beating Burnout : Balanced Living for Busy People : How to Beat Burnout, Before Burnout Average Customer Review:  Hardcover (01 February, 1997) list price: $9.99 -- our price: $9.99 (price subject to change: see help) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Reviews (2)
Personally, I feel that a book that deals with a clinical psychological issue, such as burnout, should rely on academic research and reasoning. That is missing here. Time and again the bible is taken as the source of all truth and the author's interpretation as our guiding line for doing things in life. Especially the latter makes it very difficult reading for people with academic training who are used to take a critical view of unsubstantiated statements.

Kay Home Products 30071 Iron Hearth Portable Fire Pit & Grill Average Customer Review: Lawn & Patio list price: $229.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Bringing the fun of camping to your own backyard, the portable fire pit and grill provides a delicious, smoky barbecue for cooking purposes as well as a large fire pit for small s'mores-making, company-warming fires. Constructed of sturdy cast iron, the unit features wheels and an extended oak handle for easy transport. The round smoke screen protects bystanders from the usual annoying effects of outdoor fires (sore eyes and sparks) and features a stiff iron hook that makes for nearly effortless lifting. Our only gripe is that the grate didn't form a perfect fit with our pit, though this didn't subtract from its functionality or good looks. Using poorly written but fairly obvious instructions, assembly took only an hour with a screwdriver. And, truth be told, even if the product weren't half as good as it is, it would still be irresistible to the rugged homebody. ... Read more Features Reviews (10)

Chicago Metallic 4-Piece Professional Bakeware Set Average Customer Review:  Kitchen list price: $42.99 -- our price: $60.00 (price subject to change: see help) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review This bakeware set covers many home baking needs. Its 9-inch round cake pans are ideal for a child's first birthday cake or a beautifully decorated Sachertorte, while the muffin pan makes 12 muffins and features SilverStone nonstick coating, so each whole muffin comes out easily. The eponymous jelly-roll pan is wonderful for jelly-roll cakes and drop or bar cookies, and even works for candy such as peanut brittle. This set is wonderful for a new baker, as most items won't stick to the pans--thanks to the coating--but each piece is heavy and should be used only with rubber, wood, or plastic tools. The bakeware should not be cleaned with any abrasive cleaner or pad, as the surface will scratch and is not covered under the manufacturer's 25-year warranty. --Teresa Simanton ...

Burn Rate: How I Survived the Gold Rush Years on the Internet Average Customer Review: Paperback (15 June, 1999) list price: $14.00 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Michael Wolff, the author of NetGuide, one of the first major guides to the Net, gives you a tour of this medium that could best be described as "Alice's Adventures Through the Monitor." Burn Rate is the story of Wolff's transition from journalist to entrepreneur in the Internet business--a business in which the investment elite beat down doors to invest vast sums of money in companies whose chief product seemed to be red ink. Wolff reports that what was being bought and sold was not technology, content, or even concepts. It was the potential to be in on something very cool that may one day be sold to somebody else--despite even more red ink. Wolff's story could easily have been bitter but is instead both fascinating and hilarious. Wolff's money-losing company's negotiations with Magellan--a search-engine company that Wolff eventually discovers is also financially unstable--are comical. The scene where key big shots from a major publisher fall all over Wolff in their eagerness to buy an all-but-worthless name and database are a complete farce. Wolff is by no means above showing his own foibles. Some of the book's best parts are where he shows himself swept up in the intoxicating flow of a deal and calls home to report developments to his wife. She promptly translates the nonsense into sobering reality. Wolff takes plenty of time off from his personal journey to explore significant events in the development of cyberculture, such as the transition of Louis Rosetto from a least-likely-to-succeed publisher into the creator of the revolutionary Wired magazine. He chronicles the emergence of America Online from dark horse to dominance, while the efforts of companies expected to be major contenders fade into the background. His candid view shows it all--the oddball characters in expensive shirts and T-shirts, the crazy dealing, the exhilaration, the heartbreak, and the fear. This would be a wonderful work of satirical fiction if it weren't actually true. --Elizabeth Lewis ... Read more Reviews (87)
The book is reasonably refreshing in its self-assesment of knowing virtually nothing about how the internet would affect publishing and how anybody would make any money off it.Its candor is also refreshing in describing how they had so little to offer but were so willing to sell it at a high price to the even more gullible ("they want how many million for the contents of my palm pilot?") If the author were a disinterested party reporting the actions of others, one would have to rate this book 4/5 for good writing, clarity and candor.As a player who took huge sums of money from investors, suspecting the business was a house of cards, one can only wonder if he shouldn't be in jail.As a book, I have little choice but to recommend it.The description of AOL alone is worth the purchase price. ...
