Better
than a beer can:
Stainless Steel Roasting Roost by Jaime Fischer
Welded
in 100% heavy stainless steel, these roasting roosts are better than
a beer can. At last, craft beer lovers can enjoy the same juicy chicken
promoted by grilling legends such as Steve Raichlen - prepared with
beer styles beyond mass market lager.
Inventor
and home beercook Jaime Fischer takes a whimsical approach to selling
these welded wonders. "Are you allowed to have chickens where
you live or do you have room for Texas?" his email note to me
inquired.
These
are designed to pour the beer or sauce or fruit juice into the tube,
filling it almost full. Slide the cleaned cavity of a chicken, Cornish
hen, or duck over the tube, until solidly perched on the roasting
roost. Place this onto a disposable pie pan or cookie sheet, in your
oven, grill, or smoker.
It is
better than a beer can because it will not put aluminum into the food
(beer cans are not treated for cooking). The wide base means that
it won't tip over easily, and it just looks real neat in the grill
or with the arsenal of BBQ tools! This unit is high quality stainless
steel - the joint is a strong base metal weld (the tube and base are
fused together). It cleans up very easily, even when the drippings
are baked on at high heat.
Best
of all, grill chefs can now baste their birds inside out, with craft
beer only sold in bottles. I tried my first bird with Capital Brewery's
Blonde Doppelbock - and what a juicy, tender treat it turned out to
be! The heavy stainless steel conducts heat, too - so the five-pound
chicken cooked on the grill in 40 minutes. Mr. Fischer is now working
with a local company to mass-manufacture these wonders, soon to hit
the market.
