Grill Charms Review & Giveaway!

It is a typical situation…You have a group of friends over for a BBQ and one person likes their steak medium rare with spicy BBQ sauce, another person likes their steak well done with no sauce, another person likes their steak rare with mild BBQ sauce and the story continues. Wouldn’t it be great to not have to worry about everyone getting the right steak? Wouldn’t it be ideal if there was a tool that didn’t require you to cut into the middle of each steak to see how well done it was and guess at which sauce is which? I found a neat product called Grill Charms that makes BBQing for people with different tastes that much easier! Grill Charms are similar to the idea behind wine charms and they allow you to quickly detect which steak is for whom. These Grill Charms are not only great for steak but they also work for chicken, fish, pork, hamburgers and almost anything else you can think of!

What a perfect Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for the BBQ chef in your family!

Can’t wait to see if you win and want to buy a set of Grill Charms now? Visit the Grill Charms online store today!

Review
Leslie, the inventor and owner of Grill Charms offered to send me a set of the Charmed Life Collection Grill Charms so that I could try these nifty little gadgets out for myself! I received my set in a cute little box that makes them great for gift giving. Inside the box there are little spaces to place each Grill Charm in when not in use. For those of you worried about misplacing little gadgets like this, this box acts as a great storage solution.

Each little Grill Charm is made from high quality heat conducting stainless steel. Each Grill Charm is extremely strong and I am sure they’ll last for a long time. Because each Grill Charm is made with heat conducting stainless steel, it ensures that the food continues to cook evenly around the charm. Also, since they are made from stainless steel, they are completely safe to wash in the dishwasher which makes for easy clean-up.

My favorite aspect of the charms, besides their uniqueness and fun designs, was the serrated edges on the bottom of the Grill Charms. Because the bottoms are serrated, it makes them easy to insert into your piece of meat and they stay in place even when flipping or moving your meat around.

Overally, I love the idea and the functionality of the Grill Charms. I think they offer the perfect solution to reduce the stress of BBQing for a large crowd, each of which have different preferences!

What can you win? One winner will receive their favorite Grill Charms Collection set.

  55. This is a great idea! This would be a great gift, but I might be tempted to keep it for myself. I'm always paranoid about under-cooking meat, so I end up hacking into it a million times to make sure it's done. This is so much neater - kind of like testing a cake! I would pick the Steak collection if I were the lucky winner, because I love how you could easily determine how well each cut is done. I would probably bring these to family gatherings, as some people like their steak bloody and others like it burnt. Wouldn't this be a good solution!

    Thank you for the great giveaway, what fun! :)
