SHERBORN, MA, May 11, 2000 –– It looks like a gas grill. It cooks like a gas grill. But wait, isn’t that an electrical cord?

Christopher Associates Inc., an engineering consulting firm in Sherborn, MA, has received a patent on a Dual Power Electric Grill, the first electric-powered outdoor barbecue grill to match gas grills head-to-head in short pre-heat time, maintenance of high temperatures, and consistent, even heating. The Dual Power Electric Grill, which features a hooded 300-square-inch cooking surface, plugs into a standard household outlet and is as easy and safe to use as an electric range.

The Dual Power Electric Grill delivers 200 percent more heat than current electric grills by combining an AC power source with a DC source. The grill receives 1800 watts of energy from a 120-volt AC electrical wall outlet and another 1800 watts of energy from two self-contained, rechargeable sealed batteries. The batteries are automatically recharged when the grill is off. Batteries and charger, which occupy the amount of space used to store a propane fuel tank on a gas grill, are stored in the cabinet below the cooking surface.

The Dual Power Electric Grill delivers more radiant heat to the food than all other types of barbecue grills. It maintains the same level of radiant heat to successive loads of cold food at full power for one hour without the need for recharging. When cooking slowly at lower temperatures, cooking time is extended to two hours, or indefinitely at 400 degrees. The grill’s intense heat sears foods quickly, locking in savory juices, yet doesn’t dry out meat because it doesn’t draw air.

"Our concept not only meets gas grills head on, but an electric-powered grill is the answer to many people’s dreams," said Nicholas Christopher, president of Christopher Associates. "Many apartment and condominium complexes don’t allow gas or charcoal grills and industry reports have shown that seniors and women prefer the convenience and safety of electric grills. Our grill is also ideal for people who don’t want to be concerned with storing fuel or whether there’s enough fuel when they decide to throw a steak on the grill."

"Since our product has no pressurized gas, no need for starter fluids, and no open flames to cause fires and produce pollutants and carcinogens, it can be used in partially enclosed areas and can be stored intact indoors," he added. "Yet, it delivers food quality and taste that’s better than all types of grills on the market today."

"This first unit we’ve developed has a standard 300-square-inch cooking grate. However, our technology allows for larger, higher-powered units," Christopher noted.

Cook Out!

By Debbie Rodgers

Purists might take exception but gas grills are increasingly gaining favor for outdoor cooking although charcoal grills still remain popular. Whatever your method of grilling or your choice of foods, follow these safety tips to get the best out of yo
Among the many scents that say summer few are as widely recognized as the smell of food cooking on an open grill. One recent poll indicated that although only half of surveyed North Americans light up their grills year-round, all of them fire up in June, July and August.

To those in the southern U.S., barbecue is the traditional method of slow cooking meat at a low temperature for a long time over wood or charcoal. In other parts of the world, what is called barbecue is actually grilling.

Purists might take exception but gas grills are increasingly gaining favor for outdoor cooking although charcoal grills still remain popular. Whatever your method of grilling or your choice of foods, follow these safety tips to get the best out of your outdoor meals.

• Before you prepare the food, be sure to wash your hands, utensils and equipment that you will use. When handling raw meat, remove from the cooler or fridge only the amount that will fit on the grill.

• Always open the lid well before lighting your grill to avoid concentration of gas or lighter fluid fumes.

• Never leave a lit grill unattended. Never grill inside a home, breezeway, carport, porch or other covered place that could catch fire. The U.S. Fire Administration recommends setting your grill at least 10 feet from the house. It should be on a level surface away from children and pet play areas, and away from places where you store combustible materials.

• Cook food thoroughly to the proper temperature. Poultry should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 175ºF (80ºC), ground beef to 160ºF (71ºC), and pork to 155ºF (68ºC). The time required to grill steak will vary depending on the desired doneness.

• To prevent burns, always use oven mitts and avoid wearing loose fitting clothing.

• When removing foods from the grill, don’t put them on the same plate that you used for the raw meat. Instead, use a clean plate.

• Place leftover foods in the fridge or cooler soon after grilling or serving. Any food left outside for more than an hour should be discarded.

• Some recent studies have indicated that overcooking grilled foods may increase the presence of carcinogens. Be certain to cut off any charred parts before eating grilled meats.

With these fire and food safety tips on hand, you can enjoy your summer cookouts with peace of mind.

U.S. "Cocoon Boom" Spending Grows Outdoor Furniture Market

By Anonymous

New study finds American dream moving outdoors, fueled by over $160 billion in remodeling expenditures

New York, November 7 – The "cocoon boom" that began in late 2001 shows no sign of abating, and that’s proving to be good news for companies that compete in the outdoor furniture, barbecue grills and outdoor accessory markets, which are enjoying a resurgence in growth and new product introductions.

As reported in the newly released Packaged Facts report, The U.S. Market for Outdoor and Casual Furniture, Grills and Accessories, residential remodeling expenditures have increased to $160 billion, or roughly twice of what is spent on home construction, with most being used on outdoor improvements. After a few years of relative stagnation, this has helped the market for outdoor and casual furniture and accessories regain its upward momentum, growing between 5% and 6.5% over the next five years to reach nearly $8 billion in retail sales by 2008.

"Another factor fueling this growth is product innovation," said Don Montuori, Acquisitions Editor for Packaged Facts. "Previously considered a completely different market altogether, many marketers are beginning to realize that outdoor furniture and barbecue grills are naturally linked in consumers’ minds. A small number of furniture marketers have begun to sell grills, and a small number of grill marketers also sell other outdoor accessories, including basic furniture."

The U.S. Market for Outdoor and Casual Furniture, Grills and Accessories examines in detail the trends affecting market size and growth. New product trends are covered in each category, and major competitors are profiled along with consumer usage rates, brand preferences, and demographics.
