Beefer brings a High-End steakhouse right to your backyard

Usually, in order to get restaurant quality steak, you had to take a trip to your local steakhouse, not anymore. Now you can have steakhouse quality steak right in your own backyard. Beefer is a small stainless steel high heat grill that cooks at a whopping 1,500 degrees.

The magic temperature for restaurant-quality results when grilling protein like steak.

Bring the heat

The infrared grill uses top mounted ceramic burners that heat up quickly. The high heat sears flavors in and creates a crispy, caramelized crust on meat in seconds. The grill is not only for steak it’s also perfect for things like chicken, fish, flatbread pizzas and even your favorite veggies.

Cooking in the grill is done from the top down so all the juices from the meat drip down into a pan at the bottom. Perfect for making delicious sauces.

The grill runs on propane and is sized to fit any outdoor space. And because of its size, it’s easy to move around.

Beefer is made in Germany and comes with everything you need to get started. Along with the grill, you get two drip-catching trays, one pair of grill gloves, two grill grates, one handle for moving grates, and a 39” long gas hose.

The cost of bringing the steakhouse to your backyard isn’t cheap. Beefer costs $899 and is available on The Grommet.

With the Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker, you get the perfect dish every time!


If your household is anything like mine, then you are used to the chaos of kids running around and us as parents trying to maintain control, while simultaneously attending to several other tasks. In one specific scenario, my wife, who loves to cook healthy and who created her own recipes, is constantly running out of the kitchen to deal with the kids, or something else, and running back into the kitchen when she smells something beginning to burn. Being so distracted, she forgets that the dish is still cooking. I have seen this happen so many times, that I could not help but be intrigued when I came across a device that promises to take all of the chaos out of the cooking process. I immediately thought about my wife and how it could help.

The Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker claims to allow anyone to cook an amazing meal every time, without the perils for over-cooking or burning the food because of distractions, or maybe even because of lack of experience. According to the manufacturer, the way it works is, you clamp it to the side of a medium-sized pot filled with water, drop in a sealed bag or jar with the food inside of it, and then use the controls on the device or the app on your Android or IOS phone to control and monitor the food. It precisely maintains the desired temperature evenly throughout the contents of the pot. As stated in the description, “Precision Cooking enables you to produce results that are impossible to achieve through any other cooking method”. “Continuous temperature control provides reliable and consistent results every time. Perfect for vegetables, meat, fruit, cheese and much more”.

The app that connects via both WiFi and Bluetooth allows you to set the desired temperature and other functions, and even alerts you when the dish is “good to go”.

If you are interested in purchasing the Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker, you can pick one up at Amazon for $128.96.

The Burger Master is here to make your summer BBQ easier

We’ve all been there before. You’re having a BBQ for friends or family which usually means making lots and lots of burgers. Making all of those patties takes time and can be pretty messy. The Burger Master by Shape + Store can help you with that.

More burgers faster

Burger Master is essentially a burger press that allows you to make up to eight uniform quarter pound patties at the same time. Just fill the tray with meat (2lbs of ground meat) and press the top. No fuss and less muss.

The best part is it also acts as a freezer storage container. Now you can make those patties ahead of time or freeze leftover patties for later. And Burger Master isn’t just for burgers.  It can also be used for freezing individual portions of chili, soups, pasta sauce, cookie dough, and more. It can also be used as a cooler pack when filled with frozen liquids.

The Burger Master is made of non-toxic plastic with separate compartments that help prevent freezer burn and keeps patties from sticking together. And it stacks in the freezer for easy storage.

Dishwasher safe so clean-up is easy.

The Shape + Store Burger Master sells for $24.99 and is available on Amazon.

Easily crack the top off soft- or hard-boiled eggs

I only eat hard-boiled eggs, but I’ve always loved the dishes and the style of eating soft-cooked eggs still in the shell while they are cradled in an egg cup.  I periodically think about getting some nice egg cups and setting my peeled hard-boiled egg in one while I eat breakfast.  But I’m going off on a tangent…  I really wanted to tell you about how you can easily crack and remove the top of the shell if you do eat soft-boiled eggs in the shell from an egg cup.  Instead of using your knife and tapping around the egg’s shell to crack and remove the top, you can just use the Rösle Stainless Steel Egg Topper with Silicone Handle to remove it with one movement.

Just set the Rösle over the top of the egg, pull back the handle and release.  The spring mechanism causes vibrations, and the sharp edge in the dome perfectly cuts the shell, so you can just lift it away.  It works to open both soft- and hard-boiled eggs.  

The Rösle Stainless Steel Egg Topper with Silicone Handle is $16.95 at Amazon.
