Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Camerons Products Stainless Steel Stovetop Smoker
Customer Review: A First Time Smoker
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this on Emeril and had to try it. How hard could it be to operate? Not a problem. Put two teaspoons of dry wood (alder is my favorite) in the bottom pan, next cover that with the drip pan (lined with tinfoil for ease of cleanup), then place in the grating and place in your food. I have only used this smoker for fish which I now eat without any sauce on the side. The fish is very moist and delicious after "smokin" for 25 minutes. Minimum amount of smoke escapes but not enough to set off the smoke alarm and leaves a pleasant smell in the air. Clean-up is a breeze as long as you use tinfoil in the drip pan. Don't worry about the burn stain on the stainless steel pan. It's normal and shows you are using it. A must buy and afforable for Christmas. Expand your eating experience right at home. A very recommended buy.Customer Review: Easy to use and it works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that when I read that the smoker works with less than two T. of wood shavings I had some doubts. However, I followed the directions and wow, it really worked well. My family loves pork ribs and I normally slow roast them in the oven. They are always yummy but I couldn't duplicate the smoky taste we all love until now.
I covered the ribs with a dry rub and placed them on the rack, using hickory chips. After 15 minutes I removed the ribs and placed then in a baking dish with my steaming liquid (1/2 can of DP), and 2 1/2 hours later we were eating smoky, sweet, and spicy ribs. Clean up was a breeze (I placed foil over the drip tray and sprayed with rack with oil); just understand that your house will smell like you have the fireplace going...not a bad thing! I highly recommend this product!
Customer Review: Great item
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this stovetop cooker after watching Emerill live on TV! He was smoking a beef brisket, and I had been only on occasion using a large bulky outdoor smoker. After receiving the smoker from Amazon, and using it on 4 occasions, I find that it does a great job, without any smoke in the kitchen, and cooks the items I have tried in a very short time. If I have a complaint, it is the fact that the stainless steel used becomes terribly discolored and is just about impossible to completely remove the discoloring! However since this discoloring does not do any harm to the smoker, and the smoker works so well, I accept the one problem, and continue to use it for all kinds of food, meats, vegetables, etc. It comes with a small Cameron recipe pamphlet! Well worth the cost if you like smoke flavored foods.Customer Review: Fear of smoking.
Summary: 5 Stars
One week after I purchased a stovetop smoker, Cooks Illustrated reviewed them in their magazine, and on their website. They said that their industrial strength ventilation hoods couldn't handle the smoke, and they recommended that anyone using one, take the batteries out of their smoke alarm.
I'm a big fan of Cook's Illustrated, but that simply isn't so. The smell of smoke, lingered in my kitchen and house for quite some time, but there was little, if any actual smoke. And, my smoke detector which sometimes goes off when I boil water, did not notice anything alarming.
Plus you can use it outside on your grill! I think CI did
some damage to the folks at Cameron,as I'm afraid people will read the bad advice in the article, and miss out on the fun I'm having.
Customer Review: Smoking made easy
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a co-worker who had recently purchased this item and she raved about it. Because of this I decided to buy one for my husband, who would normally do the cooking. After receiving the item he could not figure why I would buy something like this when we use our charcoal grill for everything. The first night I used the smoker for Salmon and new red pototoes and they were wonderful! Even my husband decided this was a great idea because of the convenience of staying indoors and cooking on those cold nights and the taste was perfect. If you like a heavier smoke taste it is easily adjusted. The clean up is a breeze and there is little smoke released into the house. If you are considering a smoker this is the way to go. There is such a variety of items which can be smoked you would be surprised.
