THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[judydawn]

More work for you CC.  I know what you mean - mine is always recalculating too when we go into the country using a new freeway.  I can't find my cords to hook it up to the computer to update the maps.

[jakodai]

I'm feeling left behind, only two tv's in our house and one is used exclusively or the Xbox, I just don't get time for tv watching anymore.

Don't feel left behind - I only have 1 TV... Lol

I have been waiting for this to come on special for what seemed forever!.....and it was 52% off   



A Swiss Diamond double burner griddle.   
The perfect size for our mammoth sized steaks, & for kebabs.

[medusa]

Ohh Maddy, where did you get that, I need that (I didn't realise I did until I saw your post lol).

[maddy]

LOL....was at your home depot online....... http://www.yourhomedepot.com.au/products/swiss-diamond/double-burner-griddle-1281/grill-pans
If you really want one....be quick, there's only 1 left!
They were $300, reduced down to $179.

[medusa]

thank you, but someone beat me to it lol!!  Own up who was it!!

[JulieO]

They are really handy Maddy.  I have the LeCreuset one (cast iron) which is reverseable.  The under side is smooth for when not wanting the ridges.  

[goldfish]

Is this the one, JulieO?  I love these . . . .

 . . or good ol Peters of Kensington . . .http://www.petersofkensington.com.au/Public/Le-Chasseur-Giant-Cast-Iron-Grill.aspx  RRP $199 down to $107

Gf I bought mine from Peters as well. Double sided,but so heavy I can hardly lift it. It fits across two burners and is great for grilling a large whole fish.  I can't remember the brand and it does not say on the thing but it was not expensive. I only use it when I can be sure DH will clean the thing.

Very handy  if you do to not have a BBQ as well

[EmeraldSue]

Yes, I have a similar one too. It is doubled sided and fits over the long, middle gas burner on my stove. I used it all summer and didn't use my BBQ at all. I clean it with a paste of bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar, using a sponge scourer that I only use on the grill plate. My kids love pesto chicken or salmon cooked on this grill.

[mcmich]

Do you need a gas cook top to put these on? I have a ceramic (glass top) stove.

[gertbysea]

I would not use in on a ceramic top . I would worry about it scratching and it can get really hot. At least on gas it it raised over the trivets.

[judydawn]

Julie, does the food you are grilling splatter all over the stove top and backsplash?

[JulieO]

Judy, you do still get some splatter.  One thing I hate with gas cooktops is the cleaning of them    

Must admit I haven't used the grill pan for a while, well not since we got the Weber Q bbq, that is so quick and easy to use just outside the kitchen door.  Love using that.
