|
|
Hey all you Barbecue Lovers!
If you've ever had to deal with the frustration of burnt hotdogs, you're going to like this barbecue tool a lot. My father-in-law has just recently invented what we call The WienerStick. It is a new barbecue accessory which we're currently trying very hard to get the word out on.
The WienerStick itself, sits vertically on your barbecue, maximizing space and turning your two dimensional cooking surface, into a three dimensional experience. Food skewered on the stainless steel tines, cooks quite quickly from the inside out, allowing you to make a variety of foods including wieners and hotdogs, without the hassle of constant turning or burning.
The website address for the WienerStick is:
http://www.wienerstick.com
We are operating out of Canada, but will take orders from and ship to the United States as well.
Feel free to go check it out. There's a selection of "action shots" of the WienerStick in use, as well as some initial recipes to try. You can also enter to win a free WienerStick by referring people to the website.
All the best,
James W.

Why wound you not want to burn a hotdog? That's the only way to get any flavor out of them. ![Laughing Out Loud](images/smiles/Skin_Colorz_PDT_04.gif) |

I agree. Without char marks, a hot dog is just formed, hashed meat. |

Just formed, hashed meat??? Perhaps.
Unless it's wrapped in bacon . . . |

Yes, hashed formed meat, even with bacon, which sounds delicious!
It has got to have char marks, otherwise you might as well boil them. . . . YUCK! |

|

Oh, I agree. There should be some color to a dog, either grilled or pan fried. But I also get to grill them for my daughter who likes them hot, but not browned. And for my brother who prefers that when everyone elses dogs are done, I leave one over the flames, put the lid on the kettle, and forget about it. He'll sneak back to the grill a half hour later with a bottle of hot sauce and a beer and have at it.
When I was much younger, my mom made a dish she called Texas Tommies. To make a Tommy, she'd partially slit a hot dog, fill said slit with cheddar cheese, spiral wrap a piece of bacon around the whole thing and secure the ensuing package with a couple of wooden tooth picks. Baked (or broiled, I don't remember) them in the oven until the bacon was done enuf and the cheese had begun to brown. Typically served with something like tator tots and pork and beans. Haute cuisine at its finest. |

I like it along the same lines as your brother, although not quite so severe. I do have to try it bacon wrapped. |

Cross-hatch scoring is another way to dress up this marvel of machine-extruded meat emulsification. It adds surface contour differences that yield various degrees of browning.
Just use the tip of a paring knife, with your thumb at the tip as a depth guide, to score the surface.
For quickies, without using the grill, scoring is a huge help when pan-grilling. Try slicing in half longitudinally, keeping a connectiong flap on one side. Score the outside (both longi- and lateral) of the now-split dog. Fry both sides hot in pan, and the scoring will prevent the dreaded curl up at the ends (a press of small metal lid helps here too). This 2-part dog now presents two different browned surfaces: the scored outside, and the browned grainy emulsified inside. For bun presentation, it can be folded back together and "stuffed." |

Kind of like vegetable carving, but without the fiber. Man, that's art! |

My subsequent research indicates that American is the cheese of choice for Texas Tommies.
I also found someone who drops the assemble Tommies into the deep fryer. Their recipe says when the Tommy floats back to the surface, it's done.
Wow. |

Well, I would have liked to see heat pipes instead of solid tines, but I suppose that's alright too. |

Aren't there those cool rotating things they have in stores that move them in circles in a glass container? You always see them in old hardware shops and small food places with the popcorn machines. 8) The action shot wasn't working so I wasn't sure how it worked. |

|

I like the overall idea with the weinerstick, but it lacks the curb appeal of the "Roast My Weenie" Hot Dog Cooker.... Stainless Steel, one piece construction, which means no ugly welds and chemicals, and the reaction from people who see it is priceless. Perfect gift for a tailgate party, or a X-Husband that you need to tell him how you feel about him... L.o.l. Check it out and see for yourself!
