Just thought I would share how I used the "big fat flipper"... The other night I made kabobs on the new PC skewers and since I loaded them it was hard to turn them over and get them off the grill (even with the BBQ mitt & the silicon mitt) so I took the Jumbo turner and scooped them up and off the grill - slick!

Leea:cool:
 
Hey that's cool. I had a party a couple of weeks ago, and the hostess had one hanging in her kitchen by the stove. She said it doubles as a paddle when her kids are bad!
 
That is too funny! If I was ever threatened with that thing I would have never acted up as a kid!

I have also mentioned that it can be used as a paddle and it's aero dynamic design with the holes prevents (wind) resistance with the swing! Ouch!
 
I had a gentleman want one so he could use it to clean his mower!
 
I know this is not about the jumbo turner, but I made the Citrus Shrimp Skewers last week. I used the Chef's Tongs to pick them up off the grill. It worked great too. I just grabbed the skewers by the chefs hat. Worked like a charm.
 
I recently discovered pizza on the grill and find the jumbo turner fabulous for that!
 
I actaully had to buy two because my husband didn't like me taking it our for shows. So now he has his own. I always joke and say "Take a look at this... PC isn;t just for girls!"

Isn't it true that men like anything when they jumbo-size it. LOL, always wanting something bigger and better than someone else. I laughed the first time I saw the jumbo turner up close, I thought it was hilarious. But I would have loved it forever ago when I was left alone at my job to watch a fish that was on the smoker, I told my boss, never again is he to put a fish on the grill, but if he did he had to stay with it, lol.
 
I did the BRU event and people went nuts over it!
 
My DH thought it was stupid until I caught him trying to flip a rack of ribs with two little flippers and not succeeding!
 
I do not have the "lift and serve", so, i use my Jumbo Turner to do the job. I took a big cookie of the large round stone with it the other day! and get this- it was my DH's idea to use it for that!!!
 
I got a catalog show because the host wanted the turner!
 
My FIL refuses to use it because he has always used a fork! No wonder his burgers are always so dry.....ack!
