Product Review: The Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack - Grill Your Potatoes Faster and with More Flavor

One of the most frustrating items to grill and time correctly for grillmasters is potatoes. Not anymore though with the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack. This grill rack makes grilling potatoes easy. Steven Raichlen is known as the hottest grillmaster out there today who is teaching many novices how to move from grilling hamburgers to becoming grillmasters. The Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack is a device that every grillmaster must have if they want to cook perfect grilled potatoes on their charcoal or gas grill.

The trick with grilling potatoes is that quite often they take much longer than the meat and vegetables you are grilling with them. The Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack solves that problem though. What it does is uses metal spikes that actually go into the potatoes. The entire Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack is made of metal so it conducts the heat from the base that is near the coals on a charcoal grill or heat source on a gas grill to the spikes which go directly into the potatoes. This way not only are your potatoes being grilled on the outside, but they are also being cooked on the inside as well. This allows them to cook much quicker on the grill than the traditional way of grilling potatoes.

I have discovered a few tips and tricks while using the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack. One of these tips is to make sure you coat it in vegetable oil before putting the potatoes on the spikes. This is because the potatoes will stick to the spikes and by coating the spikes of the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack with oil you will reduce the chance of the potatoes splitting or sticking when you remove them from the grill. While the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack does allow your potatoes to grill faster, there are a few other ways to speed up the process in addition to using this product.

One is to put the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack on the grill when you first transfer your coals to the grill from the chimney starter. The other is to wrap your potatoes in foil. The only issue with the foil is it will limit the smoke flavor you get, and also eliminate your chance to baste your potatoes with butter and other seasonings as you cook them. So, you need to decide which is more important saving a few minutes or getting the flavor. I choose the flavor as the most important, considering you are already saving time using the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack.

At $13, this is a must have for all grilmasters, and want to be grillmasters. One final tip, try doing sweet potatoes on the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Potato Grill Rack, they turn out great.
