I always wondered how to make stuffed jalapeno peppers without all of the stuffing oozing out in the oven or on the BBQ. And now that I've found this cool Jalapeno Pepper Roaster, I know how it's done.
It's actually very easy to make jalapeno poppers with this roaster. And it even comes with a tool to help you core the peppers. Just slice off the tops (the side with the stem) and use the corer to dig out the seedy insides.
Now all you have to do is stuff it with something. Cheese is always good but why not live it up a little bit and chop up some onions and sausage to go with it. Bacon is another great ingredient for your stuffing mixture.
Once you've got the peppers stuffed, just pop them into the roaster. It's made from stainless steel so it's safe for the grill, the oven or even a smoker. And there's holes for 36 jalapenos, so invite some friends over.

Yesterday, I posted about the Hellman's Real Food Summer School Sweepstakes and how Bobby Flay was going to teach some of America's worst cooks how to become great backyard BBQ chefs. Well, in this next video he actually starts giving them some useful cooking tips.
They're grilling chicken this time and after a few minutes of laughing at how clueless they are, Bobby Flay jumps in there and teaches them what they're doing wrong.
Now this was actually entertaining and it also had some good cooking tips in it. It was almost like watching a mini Food Network show. If they keep this up, it could actually become something that I'd watch regularly. Hey Hellman's how about sponsoring a Bobby Flay Food Podcast?
The Food Network is running a contest called The Ultimate BBQ Sweepstakes where they give the lucky winner $65,000 to spend on the BBQ of their dreams. All you have to do is go to the Food Network Site and fill out the online entry form. You can enter once a day until June 7, 2007. After that, sit back and start thinking about how you'd spend that $65,000 prize money.
When I win the Ultimate BBQ contest, I'm going to need a great grill to start. So I went to Amazon and did a search for grills. Then I sorted the results by Price - highest to lowest (hey, of course I want the most expensive grill, the contest isn’t call the Ultimate But Moderately Priced BBQ Sweepstakes). The Solaire 56 Inch Infravection Gas Grill On Refrigerated Cart LP is the most expensive grill on Amazon, so I guess it’ll have to do.
Then I’ll get in touch with a stone mason and have him build a flagstone grill island that will encase my new grill. Of course he’ll also have to leave room for a fridge and an outdoor sink.
Lastly, while the mason is throwing around stone in my yard, I’ll have him build a wood burning pizza oven next to my grill island. Not one of those new fangled pizza oven inserts that they surround with stone, but a real old style pizza oven made from fire bricks. Real expert craftsmanship will be required.
Hey, somehow I didn't win the HGTV Dream Home, so that means I'm probably a shoe-in to win the Ultimate BBQ Sweepstakes.
