Our Thoughts:

The Cave Tools BBQ Grilling Glove Oven Mitts are great to use in the kitchen or outdoors around the grill! These protect your hands and forearms from getting burned from hot elements, grates, pans, pots, fire, flame, etc. We used these with my large stainless steel pasta pot that has lost a handle on one side, my cast iron skillets (the handles get hot, especially right out of the oven), and while baking. You can take pans straight out of the hot oven with these on. I love that these have great grip and flexibility too. I like that they are so versatile and will love trying them when we are grilling on the BBQ next.

These say they are one size fits all, but my hands are so tiny that they have room to spare when I have them on. This can get a bit cumbersome and I feel like I have the gauntlet of infinity on sometimes. They do work very well for my sons, Delbin & Jaedan, who are both aspiring chefs and my husband Brian, who loves to grill.

I want to mention that the fabric used in the gloves is not waterproof. Steam and hot liquids can and will burn through the gloves. Make sure to use them dry not wet and never reach into hot oil to grab foods with them!!!

All in all, we think the Cave Tools  BBQ Grilling Glove Oven Mitts are great and we highly recommend them.

Our Thoughts:

The Cave Tools Pulled Pork Shredder Rakes are really handy to have for both lifting large pieces of meat and shredding it. It makes a great pulled pork or other pulled meat effortlessly and safely. Also since these are stainless they will last longer than plastic claws and are easily cleaned.

We used them on pork shoulder marinated and cooked in the crock pot. These definitely got the job done in no time at all. I thought they were wonderful at lifting the meat out of the crock pot and into the bowl. I love that they are easy to grip with the long handles. These are sized well and the tines fit in between the other ones so you can pull meats apart fast. The box it comes with is attractive to store in as well.

Cave Tools Beer Can Chicken comes out tender and juicy.

Our Thoughts:
I used the Cave Tools Beer Can Chicken product with a 4.3 pound chicken and placed Root Beer in the stainless steel can it came with after locking it in place and then placed the lid with the holes on it. The chicken was already thawed and ready to go. After I took out the giblets and neck I rubbed some Spike seasoning and a special blend of herbs I made on the outside of the chicken and placed the chicken onto the can holding it by the wings as it was lowered onto the canister. I noticed that the chicken was very stable on the product. I also put potatoes which I had poked with a fork first onto the 4 skewers that went on each side. I used my oven to cook the bird because it has been raining here in Oregon. I took out all but one rack, placed it at the lowest setting in the oven, and preheated the oven to 375°. I baked the chicken in the oven for about an hour and a half. When I got it out with my oven mitts it was the perfect internal temperature and when I sliced the meat it was juicy and very tender.

I loved the Cave Tools Beer Can Chicken better than other beer can products I have seen or tried. I loved how the chicken was so easy to get on and off the can. Since it locked into place it didn't get stuck inside the chicken. Since the canister has more holes in the top than a regular can it steamed the chicken evenly from the inside out making it perfect. The tray caught all the drippings and didn't make a mess in my oven. I also gave the cooled off drippings to my dog over his dog food so to not waste it and he loved it. You could also make it into a good gravy for your baked potatoes. The rack that held the can and sat in the tray was well built and made the chicken very stable so it didn't fall over or wobble. The veggie spikes were a very handy addition so that I could cook potatoes, corn, or another veggie at the same time as the chicken. This was a bit more difficult to clean by hand because of the grease, but if I had a dish washer machine I could see that it would be a breeze.

The chicken was very moist and delicious. My family and guests said it was the best chicken they have ever had. The Root Beer didn't give it too much of a Root Beer flavor, but it sure did make it nice and juicy on the inside and crispy skin on the outside. I am excited to try other liquids in the canister...I might try Ginger Beer or OJ next time. Half a canister seems to do the trick. Once the weather here gets a little nicer I would like to try it on my grill outside. I am very happy with the Cave Tools Beer Can Chicken and highly recommend it!

Camerons Stovetop Smoker Review, Homegating Tips, and Alder Smoked Salmon Spread Recipe

I received the Camerons Stovetop Smoker and Wood Chips free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

Homegating, throwing a sports viewing party at home, is becoming more and more popular because of the increased prices of sporting events and bad weather surrounding some games. The cost to attend these events is getting too expensive and then even after you have spent all that money for a ticket there are traveling, boarding, food, drink, parking, and memorabilia costs. Homegating is so much easier than tailgating and your wallet will be a lot happier. There is really no place like home for the big game!

Here are 10 tips to make your Homegating an awesome crowd pleasing experience...

1. Decorate your home inside and out like a champion with your favorite team's colors and logos. Banners, streamers, balloons, buntings, flags, coasters, wall stickers, lights, throw pillows, throws, etc., make the party more inviting. If you are having a backyard homegate make sure your patio/deck is cleaned, prepared, decorated with seating and patio heater/firepit to keep everyone comfy.
2. Dress up with your favorite team's jersey and colors. Go all out and let everyone know whose side you are rooting for by painting your face, hair, and/or nails.
3. Have the big screen and sound system ready for action.
4. Have enough cozy seating for your you and your guests where all can enjoy the game.
5. Make sure to have enough yummy, mouthwatering food (smoked or grilled meat, sides, desserts, snacks, dips and sauces, etc.) and beverages (don't forget the non-alcoholic cocktails and soda pop!) on hand and more than enough refrigerator/table/cooler space to store it all before and during the game. 
6. Keep your food warm with a slow cooker crock and your drinks cool with a ice chest.
7. Make sure your grill is cleaned, prepped, and in great working order with enough propane or charcoal to get you through before you start grilling.
8. Go the extra mile with a Camerons Stovetop Smoker and Camerons Wood Chips for fantastic smoked meat and veggies!
9. Have fun activities ready to occupy your guests during breaks and/or commercials.
10. Don't forget your camera, tablet, or smartphone. You don't want to miss taking pictures of your guests and spread, or telling your social media outlets scores and play-by-plays of super moves.

My Thoughts:
I love Camerons Stovetop Smoker! I've never had an indoor smoker and this makes smoking meat and veggies super easy. Since it is stainless steel it is simple to clean too! We received the smoker and the two samples of wood chips that came with it in the box were Hickory and Oak. I also got a larger tub of Alder wood chips separately. I decided to make an Alder Smoked Salmon according to the directions that came with the Stovetop Smoker and make it into a yummy dip or spread for crackers. I did find that the cooking time was about 55 minutes for a 2 pound fish instead of the 25 they suggest; although, my salmon was thick. I also added foil to the drip plate and sprayed the rack with olive oil for easier cleanup. My house smelled so good while the salmon was being smoked! Make sure you have your overhead stove vent on because it does smoke a little out the corners of the lid. This would be an easy, delicious side to make pre-game so that it can chill in the fridge prior to game day.

Alder Smoked Salmon Spread Recipe

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 12 ounces Alder smoked salmon, flaked
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
• 3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
• 3 drops hot pepper sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon squeezed)

Whip the cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Place in fridge to chill about an hour. Serve with crackers.

Betty Crocker Suddenly Salad Pasta Salad Review and Giveaway

I received these products for free to facilitate this review. I also have the opportunity to also give away another gift pack just like the one above to a lucky reader for free.

Want to make you summer BBQ easy and yummy too? Try Suddenly Pasta Salad from Betty Crocker and General Mills. These are quick and simple mixes that come in a box. They come complete with dry pasta and veggies with a packet of seasoning mix all in one handy box. You can also use stir-ins to create a main course or just have it as a tasty side. They come in seven different flavors: Classic, Ranch & Bacon, Caesar, Creamy Italian, Creamy Parmesan, Chipotle Ranch, Basil Pesto, Tuscan Style Tomato. You can just follow the simple instructions on the box or get some delicious recipe ideas off the Suddenly Salad website.

I received both the Ranch & Bacon and the Classic flavors along with a Picnic Cooler and blanket for free to facilitate this review. The cooler is a Leed's Arctic Zone 36-Can Cooler with Blanket. The liner is an Ultra Safe™ leak proof lining which means it is PVC free and is lead and phthalate safe under FDA and CPSC safety standards. This cooler has a main zippered top that holds a large amount of food and drink. It has a front zippered pocket to hold things and a larger zippered pocket in the back that holds the 4' x 5' fleece blanket. It also includes an adjustable shoulder strap with shoulder pad. It collapses when not in use for easy storage and has a carry handle to use when closed. This cooler is best used when items are pre-chilled and packed with ice/freezer packs not ice. It is also easily wiped clean with a damp cloth, lightweight and portable. The blanket it comes with is a thinner fleece, but provides warmth on cooler summer nights and is a good size to throw down on the ground for a nice picnic ground cover.

The Suddenly Salad Pasta Ranch & Bacon flavor was really yummy. You will need just 1/2 cup mayonnaise to add with this if you are just making it regular. It turned out very creamy and has a smokey flavor to it. On the box it has Box Tops, a delicious looking recipe called lemon-chicken pasta salad and other stir-in ideas. The instructions are simple to follow and the pasta salad is easy to make. After I made it and tasted it I was having trouble sharing because it was so good.

When you open the box you will find two things: the bag of dried pasta & veggies and the packet of seasonings. This particular one has dried shell pasta with dried peas and shredded carrots in the bag. The packet of seasoning consists of a number of ingredients and I will not list them all here, but it has good ingredients of buttermilk, onion, garlic, parsley flakes and dried cheddar cheese. Along with those contents it has imitation bacon chips consisting of many ingredients including these I did not really care for in my food: partially hydrogenated soybean oil, artificial flavor, caramel color, red 40, and tocopherol. This also has Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) that I usually try to avoid as well.

The Suddenly Salad Pasta Classic flavor was also really yummy. You will just need 3 tablespoons cold water and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. I used Filippo Berio^® Extra Virgin Olive Oil of which I also received for free to try for being a BzzAgent. This turned out with a citrus zing and was very zesty in flavor. On the box it has Box Tops, a delicious looking recipe called ranch spinach pasta salad, and other stir-in ideas. The instructions are simple to follow and the pasta salad is easy to make. I loved the herbal zing it had.

When you open the box you will find two things: the bag of dried pasta & veggies and the packet of seasonings. This particular one has dried spiral rotini pasta in plain, spinach and tomato in the bag. The packet of seasoning consists of a number of ingredients and I will not list them all here, but it has good ingredients of red pepper, parsley, onion, garlic, basil. It also has modified and hydrogenated ingredients and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) that I usually try to avoid as well.

If you want a complete list of the ingredients you will have to go straight to the box and look at it. Betty Crocker doesn't have them listed on their website.

I myself believe that even though these boxed sides or meals are convenient the filler ingredients are not really desired. I would rather make something from scratch. These do however make it very simple to whip something up in a jiffy if you have major time constraints.
