wonderful grilling device
This grilling device is everything the product description says and more! I bought it thinking I can make churrasco, but I've since made chicken tikka, Middle Eastern lamb kabobs and more. Everything so far has come out very tender and moist, and best of all, the cleanup is a breeze--no splatter at all! Anticipating that I'd probably need more than the 5 skewers provided, I ordered an extra set of 4 when placing my original order. Turned out it was a smart move on my part, very proud of myself! This piece of cooking equipment is definitely more than just a curious gadget, I will be using it over and over again, for sure.
"Amazing!"
I purchased this back in April and it sat in a box until July, when I used it for the first time. I didn't have high hopes for it but I thought, "What the heck. Let's see what it does."
Since I dine at Brazilian Churrascaria restaurants (Fogo de Chao, Espetus), I decided to do the traditional Picanha, with the salt-garlic brine. I cut each piece to be around 2" x 5" x 1" and fold each piece to a "C" shape. Each skewer can fit 3 to 4 pieces. Shewer the meat so that the flat side is parallel with "C" shape --- it makes it easier to slice later on.
Here's what I did:
After washing all the parts the first time, assemble the grill and place it on your biggest burner. Turn the heat on high (for beef). Make sure you put in 2 cups of water. Brush the brine on the beef and lower the skewers in. Place the skewers in with the "C" shape side facing the center. Rotate 180 once it's brown. Serve when both sides are golden brown.

Grilling and losing weight!
I LOVE to eat and I LOVE my local Brazilian churrascaria steakhouses nearby, but times are tough and I need to stop indulging. I have to admit, I bought this Grillex Indoor Brazilian BBQ grill on an empty stomach dreaming of all the scrumptious meat I'd be able to partake of at any hour of the day. When it arrived and I set it up, truly my eyes were bigger than my stomach.
This product comes with 5 skewers, a basket accessory and a double prong skewer along with the stove-top apparatus; but to be honest, I've only used the 5 skewers and even that is too much food. I started by grilling 3 skewers of meat and 2 with vegetables. But of late, I find myself grilling 2 skewers of vegetables au natural with just salt and pepper and one skewer of meat and I find myself satisfied. I've left marinating meat and vegetables and just cooking them from raw to roasted with minimal seasoning.
Darn if I didn't lose 5 pounds in 1 week (In the interest of full disclosure: I made a...
