Review Cheap Infrared Thermometer Laser

I just purchased this Infrared Thermometer Laser at a local Discount Auto Parts store. The clerk behind the counter didn't know what it was, so, I gave him a brief explanation. After, he asked what part of my car I'd be using it on, and I said, "My cast iron skillet." He started to laugh. I explained that I would be using this to measure my cooking surfaces, so I could get The Perfect Sear. The clerk scratched his head, and then the light went on.

I bought this Infrared Thermometer Laser to see just how "HIGH" the high setting on my stove was. My gut told me it was well above the 500F mark. To my surprise, my stovetop, single burner glass-top, was reaching 900F. I now have an accurate breakdown of all temperatures between 250 and 900F thanks to this great tool. Actron Infrared Thermometer Laser, good work.

Secrets to BBQ

Secrets to BBQ

Have you ever wondered how to get that great BBQ taste, or that perfect BBQ look? I have. I love the taste of BBQ as long as my food isn't burnt or looks burnt. Sometimes it even tastes good but doesn't look good. Here's one, of many examples, for you to try.

Start with chicken, for example. Place the chicken in a salt water brine. The brine is about four cups of water to 3 table spoons of salt. Mix this well with a whisk. Place chicken in the brine and cover with plastic wrap, then put the chicken into the refrigerator for one to two hours, no longer than over night. ALWAYS keep the chicken cold. When you take it out to the grill, place it on ice, unless all the chicken will fit on the grill at the same time. Always wash your hand after handling raw chicken.

When your ready start your grill let the coals burn for about ten to twenty minutes. Set them up on each side of the grill leaving room in the middle for a foil drip pan. Then go prep your chicken. Drain the chicken well and pat dry. Mix a dry rub or buy a seasoning packet and rub into the skin of the chicken. Make sure all the pieces are about the same size so that they all cook through to a temp of about 165-170. Most times you'll need to cut the breast into two pieces.

Make or buy your favorite BBQ sauce and pour it into a bowl that you can get a BBQ brush into very easily. Now for the grill. Place your hand above the grill grate and count, one one hundred, two one hundred, three one hundred, ouch. Your grill is now ready to use. Use a grill brush and clean your grill. Then using a pair of tongs, fold a paper towel, or dish cloth, and dip it into some oil and oil the grill grate. Then place the chicken on the grill. Cook low and slow for about 5 to 8 minutes after putting your BBQ sauce on. Close the lid so that the vent is over the chicken. in about 5 to 8 minutes turn the chicken over and repeat.

Always check on your chicken.

Not all grills cook at the same temperature or at the same time. When you think the chicken is done, place a meat thermometer into the middle of the breast or the middle of the thigh, careful not to touch the bone. If the thermometer reads 165-170 then your ready to eat. Remember to make sure to vent the top over the food for a great smoked taste without the 'charcoal' look. Remember to baste your food about every five to ten minutes AFTER you turn it over on the grill.
