Expanding on its cookware line, Griffo Products Inc. will introduce four items at the 1992 Housewares Show in Chicago. Three of the four new products are for use in the barbecue. First among those is the Gourmet Barbeque Wok, which has a raised, perforated circle at the bottom of the pan instead of the regular curved bottoms, for easy grilling. This enables the smoke and aroma from the barbecue to penetrate the food while permitting excess fat to drip into the fire, according to a company spokesperson. There is also a channel built into the wok, where juices and oils are caught.
The wok is made from porcelain-coated steel and doesn't require seasoning before use, unlike a traditional wok. It also has a nonstick surface. The Gourmet Barbeque Wok carries a suggested retail price of $31.95 for the 12-inch item and $39.95 for the 12-and 14-inch wok. For other wok enthusiasts, Griffo is unveiling the BBQ Wok, which also has a perforated bottom, stainless-steel slanted sides and black porcelain enamel coating. The BBQ Wok is of a simpler design than the Gourmet Wok, with square edges and handles. It is suggested to retail for $12.95.
Also for use in the barbecue is a new Griffo BBQ Turkey Roaster. The Roaster is designed to cook turkey and chicken on the grill, with sloping sides that keep heat close to the food and a solid pan beneath the food to keep juices in. It is expected to retail for $11.95. Griffo departs from the grill for its final new product introduction: the Betty Crocker Pizza Peel. The product, tested and approved by the Betty Crocker Kitchens, is made from the pine, as is the long handle which keeps hands well away from the heat. The 14-inch items is suggested to retail for $14.95. The products will be available for delivery in February.
