CHEF PHIL ON THE HOLLAND GRILL | OUTDOOR GRILLS

A wise man once told me,"it's what you learn when you think you know it all that counts". I never professed to knowing it all, but when it came to grilling food over an open flame I knew I could hold my own. It was only after a recent visit from Chad our representative for the Holland Grill Company, that led me to believe otherwise. He opened my eyes to a brand new concept in char-broiling, while opening my taste buds to some of the most succulent meats I've ever had on an outdoor grill.

The smorgasbord of grilled meats he served included pork chops, chicken thighs and breasts. They were as moist as if they had been slow-cooked and brought right out of the oven. With the lid down, an entire chicken simmered on the Holland grate undisturbed. I was taken aback by the fact that Chad not once felt the need to at least turn the meat; however, in just over an hour the entire bird came out cooked to perfection. The skin was crisp and flavorful while the meat itself held in a moist flavor— just the way I like it.

Aside from all Holland Grill products being made in America, these beauties have several other great features that are sure to win you over. The Patriot BH421-CG-1 has a heavy stainless steel charcoal tray trap door that makes adding more charcoal a breeze. There are four adjustable air vents that allow for temperature control. With this indirect convection style of

"The Patriot" Holland Grill BH421CG1

grilling, one is not limited to meats alone. You can also cook pizzas, apple pies and even chocolate chip cookies on these state of the art grills. One of the best thing about all Holland grills are there no flair up guarantee. The Wrangler BH421AG7 is a gas model grill that has a solid aluminum bottom shell that also helps prevent rusting. Aside from these grills being great for grilling and smoking, they can also be used as a steamer for seafood, ribs, pork loins, and other meats. In order to utilize this aspect of the grill, you should close the drain valve of your grill. Then open the lid and fill the drip pan with about a half gallon of water. You should then properly light the grill, close the lid and let it preheat to 15 or 20 minutes until you see steam coming from the smoke stack. After this, stick your food on the grid and close the lid.

Once you purchase your new Holland Grill, this summer you'll want to turn your patio into an outdoor kitchen. I could go on forever about the

features and great accessories these grills have to offer, but consequently, I'm sure I would be leaving something out. Instead, I suggest you watch my Holland Grill video for further information. J.E.S. Restaurant Equipment is a proud distributor of the Holland Grill Company and they have an informative sales staff willing to provide you with all the necessary information you need before making your purchase on a Holland Grill. Give them a call toll free at (866)-200-6056. If you happen to be local to South Carolina, I would suggest you stop by their showroom and find their full line of grills and accessories from the Holland Grill Company.

One more thing, when I was looking to buy a recliner the salesperson told me not to buy a La-Z-Boy, because if I didn't buy the La-Z-Boy, then I would always know there was something better on the market. I believe the same concept holds true for char-broilers.

Thanks for reading!
