From the Kitchen of Scientist, Caterer, and Inventor,
Lee Drannan Smithson
Dear Fellow Food Lover,
Something wonderful has been done about
Dirty Broiling and Roasting.
All the dirty part has been totally eliminated.
,
ALL the smoke, splatter, flare-ups, bake-ons, and scrubbing
disappear, as if by magic, when you Broil and Roast on
my WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan.
No kidding! May I prove it?
Keep reading to see how I invented the
world's first properly designed broiler-roaster pan which
turns broiling and roasting from a dirty mess into a total joy
and why the typical broiler-roaster pans you now own are
ill-conceived and why those ill-conceived pans
cause ALL your broiling and roasting problems.
Over 1000 cooks and chefs have written to thank me
for inventing my "amazing" cooking pan.
"Dayton inventor's WaterBroiler (pan) and
Forkula (tongs) make life easier for home cooks."
Ann Heller, Dayton Daily News
"Fortunately, the broiling pan of the future is here,
its deign informed by Lee Drannan Smithson's
conviction: the broiling process is not inherently
brutal, but is, in fact, a peaceful cooking
technique made violent and disgusting by
"ill-conceived" pans."
Barbara Flanagan, "Flanagan's Smart Home--
The 98 Essentials for
Starting Out, Starting Over, Scaling Back"
The WaterBroiler Pan "works wonderfully,
not only for broiling, but for a variety of things."
Pierre Franey, The New York Times
The Drannan
WaterBroiler® -WaterRoaster™ Pan,
Registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
is the first improvement in
Broiling and Roasting in 100 years.

It may be hard to believe, but
you can now broil hamburgers
or a pound of sausage patties
under your oven broiler
or roast a chicken or even a duck
in your oven with
No Smoke! No Splatter! No Flare-ups!
No Bake-ons! And, No Scrubbing...ever.
Guaranteed!

"THE GREATEST BROILER/ROASTER PAN!
What a wonderful invention! I never
used my broiler because I hated the smoke,
flare-ups, and worst of all...cleaning the pan
afterwards! Now that I have a WaterBroiler,
I use my broiler all the time!
No smoke, no flare-ups, and
clean-up is too easy!
Your broiler is one of the best tools
you have to cook, but most of us
never use it! With this pan you will
use it a lot! I LOVE this pan! Awesome
results with the easiest clean-up ever!
Lobster tails to die for, with zero mess!
I have purchased 3 of these
awesome pans and plan to buy
more as they make wonderful gifts.
My hats off to Mr. Smithson and
The Drannan WaterBroiler!!!"

"I received a WaterBroiler as a gift
25 years ago, and I am still using it
today. I just can't say enough about
how great it cooks my food.
Everything tastes delicious. It is easier
to clean than any of my other pots and
pans, and it still looks as good
as the day I got it.
You won't regret buying one!"
Another customer wrote,
"1000 times better than the broiler
pan that came free with my oven."
The simplicity of the WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan invites skepticism, but it works so well, you can use it and test it for ONE FULL YEAR WITHOUT RISKING ONE CENT. MY ONE YEAR MONEY BACK GUARANTEE,
INCLUDING A REFUND OF
POSTAGE BOTH WAYS,
SAYS I AM CONFIDENT YOU WILL LOVE IT!
THERE IS ONLY "ONE CONDITION" TO MY
ONE YEAR MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
If you decide to return it for a refund,
it must be returned in "used condition"
because you won't believe how well
it improves the taste of your food
and how easy it is to clean
until you actually use it.
If all these benefits and my one-year money back
guarantee were not enough to have you clamoring
for my WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan,
look at the variety of food you can cook on it
with virtually no effort.

| Inventor Lee Drannan Smithson and his 2136th Roasted Chicken |
|
|
No Kidding! I have roasted a whole chicken almost once
a week on my WaterRoaster Pan for 44 years,
starting in 1967 on my prototype pan.
Before I tell you how I invented this pan,
may I introduce myself?
My name is Lee Drannan Smithson.
I was a scientist for the Federal government for 34 years.
I specialized in analytical chemistry including infrared
spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry.
I was a pioneer in the use of computers in analytical
chemistry, starting in 1959, over 50 years ago.
My research led to numerous publications in scientific
journals and a scientific book in 1968 entitled,
"Infrared Spectra and Characteristic Frequencies
~700-300 cm-1" which is still in every major library
in the world. My publications can be found by searching
for Lee D Smithson OR L D Smithson AND
infrared spectra OR mass spectra.
I catered elegant wedding receptions for many years
in my 1869 Victorian home, The Bossler Mansion, in
Dayton, Ohio, so I know a little bit about cooking.
The Bossler Mansion is a prime example of
Second Empire Architecture, and it is listed on
the National Register of Historic Places. Since
1980, I have opened my home to over 35,000 visitors.
|
The Bossler Mansion was built in 1869.
During World War II it was converted into 13 apartments
with 13 kitchens and seven baths
I bought the Mansion in 1980 with the intent of converting it back
into a single family residence and into a restaurant.
I asked the tenants to vacate, and I spent 5 years in a complete
restoration, doing much of the work myself on 250 week-ends.
The restaurant plans never materialized, but after the restoration was
complete in 1985, I loaned my home to the Dayton Philharmonic
Women's Association and it was their 4th Designer's Showhouse.
Over 22,000 visitors toured the home in 3 weeks!
After the Showhouse closed, I moved in,
and it has been my home ever since.
|
|
In 1967, I made a great cooking discovery
that has changed the way I cook and the way
tens of thousands of cooks now cook.
By simply watching a hamburger broil on the
hateful broiler pan that came free with my
oven, I discovered that virtually
ALL broiling and roasting smoke, splatter,
flare-ups, and bake-ons
come from drippings that puddle
on the HOT broiler pan RACK and from
drippings that puddle on a HOT roasting pan.
I discovered that the hamburger was innocent,
and the ill-conceived free broiler pan
was the ONLYproblem with broiling.
Virtually none of the smoke and splatter
came from the burger itself.
|
 |
| Hateful Broiler Pans like this cause ALL your broiling problems |
|
|
Your ill-conceived "free" broiler pan and
those of similar "design" with a
perforated sheet metal rack is
The Main Problem with broiling.
Most of the drippings CAN NOT and DO NOT
drip through a sheet metal rack with a few drip "holes" or slots.
Most of the drippings puddle on the rack to
smoke and splatter and flare-up
and bake-on into impossible to
scrub-off black char.
Non-stick Broiler Pans Should be Against the Law.
Don't think that a non-stick broiler pan
is the solution to broiling problems.
In fact, non-stick broiler pans should NEVER be used
because the high heat of a broiler decomposes
the non-stick finish and toxic fumes are released
which can give you "Polymer Fume Fever"
and kill pet birds in the kitchen .
Look up "Polymer Fume Fever" and read all about the danger
of over-heating non-stick cookware..
"Good" Heat Conducting Roasting Pans are
The Problem with roasting.
It is unfortunate, but most roasting pans are
ill-conceived, even those $200+ "clad" ones
and even those $600 copper ones.
It is an irony that the costliest roasting pans
are the worst because they are made of "good"
heat conducting metals which get HOT quickly.
When fat drippings touch a HOT RACK or a
HOT PAN, the drippings smoke, splatter, flare-up,
and bake-on into impossible to scrub-off black char.
Think about it.
Do you need a broiler-roaster pan to get HOT?
Of course not.
In fact, the broiler-roaster pan is the ONLY piece
of cookware that I can think of that works better
when it does not GET HOT.
Of course, the WaterBroler Pan and Rack get too hot
to handle with your bare hands, but they do not get
AS HOT AS QUICKLY as pans and racks made
of "good" heat conducting metals.
Once I discovered that
The Typical Broiler-Roaster Pan that everyone owns
is THE PROBLEM, I was able to
invent the WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan which is
THE SOLUTION to ALL broiling and roasting problems.
I had a prototype drip pan made of
100% 18/8 Stainless Steel
(a poor heat conductor) and had it highly polished
to a smooth, easy cleaning mirror-surface.
I had a very sturdy Wire Rack made of
100% 18/8 Stainless Steel (a poor heat conductor)
to fit on TOP of the pan and had it electropolished
to an easy-cleaning smooth mirror-surface.
I decided to put the rack on TOP of the pan for more
uniform roasting and to raise the food being broiled
(and roasted) away from the drippings.
I calculated that the wire rack was 87% air
whereas the typical perforated sheet metal rack
on most broiler pans was 87% metal.
The wire rack allows the fat drippings instantly
DROP through the wire rack into the drip pan.
The small amount of fat that touches the round rods
of the wire rack, instantly roll off the round rods
and instantly drop into the drip pan so that
the drippings do NOT get hot enough
to smoke and splatter.
I decided to make the pan ROUND
so there would be no hard-to-clean corners.
The 12 inch diameter pan was carefully
considered to fit the needs of the average
household which consisted of 2.7 persons.
Even though it is "only" 12 inches in
diameter,(not including handles) it will
hold a 10 pound turkey or half a
ham for a crowd.
The typical rectangular broiler-roaster pans that
everyone owns are TOO BIG for everyday use.
TOO BIG to fit IN your divided sink,
TOO BIG to fit in your dishrack,
TOO BIG to fit in your dishwasher.
And, they are TOO UGLY and TOO BIG
to hang on your potrack.
I tested my prototype pan for both
broiling and roasting and found that
Cold Tap Water made the drip pan clean
like a breeze. Surprisingly, the water did
NOT boil and did NOT steam the food in
the time it takes to broil and even after
2 hours in a 350 degree oven!
The water, surprisingly, had a profound
TASTE benefit.
The water evaporated very slightly (no steam)
to add a beneficial amount of moisture
to keep meats, poultry, and fish
juicy and succulent without basting.
As you can see from the unretouched
photograph above, the steaks, the chicken,
the rib roast, and the pork crown roast
browned beautifully.
I found the water and drippings in the pan
could be used to make a very good sauce or
gravy after removing most of the fat.
After roasting a chicken, the water & drippings
turn to "chicken jello" when refrigerated,
and all the fat floats and congeals on top
of the water and drippings for instant removal.
To make an excellent sauce or gravy immediately
after roasting, separate the fat using a fat separator
and use the remaining water and virtually
fat-free, flavorful drippings.
Since water is part of the secret of my pan,
I decided to trademark my pan the
WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™ Pan.
To use the pan for both broiling and roasting,
pour one and one-half cups of Cold Tap Water into the
"poor-heat-conducting" 18/8 Stainless Steel Pan
before broiling and roasting to catch the fat drippings.
The water prevents bake-ons in the pan itself which
makes the pan very easy to clean (no bake-ons).
You may ask,
"Can't I just put water in my broiler-roaster pans
and get the same results?"
The short answer is NO. The long answer:
Water does NOT prevent the smoking, splattering,
flare-ups, bake-ons, and scrubbing of the fat
that comes into contact with
a perforated sheet metal rack like the one
that came on your ill-conceived "free" broler pan.
Water placed in a broiler-roaster pan made of
"good" heat conducting metal
is likely to boil the water and steam the food.
The WaterBroiler Pan & Rack cleans easily
in less than a minute!
I recommend cleaning with a soft dish brush
and hot soapy water.
It also fits IN your divided sink, IN your dishrack,
and even IN your dishwasher!
You will never have to scrub the pan or rack.
Never touch the pan or rack with a "green pad"
or steel wool or anything abrasive, and
it will stay looking almost like new for the
rest of your life...and then some.
One customer wrote,
"It is no more trouble to clean than a dinner plate!"
Here are a few more quotes from delighted cooks
who purchased my pan. I have received more
than 1000 written testimonials!
I have NEVER given any compensation
for any testimonial.
"Absolutely the best broiler pan ever created."
"It is the best roasting pan you will ever buy."

WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™-WaterGrill™
UpSideDownGrill™-CityGrill™ Pan
(five Drannan trademarks for the SAME pan)
CONSISTS OF TWO PIECES:
An 18/8 Stainless Steel 12" diameter drip Pan
AND a slightly larger 18/8 Stainless Steel Wire Rack
that fits on TOP of the pan--that will not slip off--
but lifts-off instantly.
When broiling under your oven broiler, you can
call the pan the WaterBroiler® or the WaterGrill™
or the UpSideDownGrill™ or the CityGrill™.
When roasting IN your oven, you can call the pan
the WaterRoaster™.
Specifications for
WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan and Rack
Both the Pan AND Rack are made of commercial
18/8 stainless steel. Together, the pan and rack
weigh almost 2 ˝ pounds.
The sturdy pan will never warp.
The sturdy rack will never bend.
The 12 inch diameter round pan and slightly
larger round rack are large enough to hold 5 or
6 hamburgers, or 12 very small lamb chops, or
a 10 pound turkey, or a rib roast large enough
to serve eight, or even 9/10th of a whole ham
if you have your butcher cut the shank end
off so you can stand it up on the rack.
(Be sure your oven is tall enough to
accommodate the ham standing up.)
The pan is 1 1/4 inches deep.
The removable 18/8 stainless steel wire rack
fits on TOP of the pan to keep food elevated
for better roasting and to leave room in the pan
for water and drippings. The wire rack won't
slip off during use because it sets down
1/4 inch around the perimeter of the pan, but
it can be removed instantly by lifting up.
The 12" diameter round pan allows oven heat
to freely circulate for better,more uniform roasting.
And, it allows room in the oven to cook other food.
The pan and rack will fit IN your divided sink,
IN your dish-rack, and IN your dishwasher.
Two large 18/8 Stainless Steel handles
are welded to the pan to make for safe handling.
Some ill-conceived broiler pans have
the handles on the rack!
The pan is highly polished to a heat reflecting
mirror finish. The wire rack is electropolished
to a smooth mirror finish to impart a
"non-sticking quality" to the
18/8 Stainless Steel wire rack.
Buyer Beware
When Buying "Stainless Steel" Products.
Did you know,
there are over 100 types of Stainless Steel?
By definition, "stainless steel" is any iron alloy
that contains a minimum of 11% chromium.
Cheap "Stainless Steel" can contain
as little as 11% chromium and NO nickel
which makes them inferior as cookware.
18/8 and 18/10 Stainless Steel are
THE STANDARDS
for high-end, commercial cookware.
18/8 Stainless Steel contains
18% chromium and 8% nickel in the iron alloy.
18/10 Stainless steel contains
18% chromium and 10% nickel
in the iron alloy.
The high chromium and high nickel content of
expensive 18/8 and 18/10 stainless steel
makes them rust-proof, durable,
non-reactive to acidic foods, and they can be
mirror-polished to make them virtually non-stick
without the hazard of poly(tetrafluoroethylene)
non-stick finishes like Teflon. I will tell you later WHY
you should NEVER use a non-stick broiler pan
and the danger of using non-stick roasting pans,
non-stick racks, and non-stick frying pans.
You can test your stainless steel products with a
magnet to see if you have cheap stainless steel
or expensive stainless steel like 18/8 or 18/10.
A magnet will NOT stick to
expensive 18/8 or 18/10 Stainless Steel.
A magnet sticks to cheap "stainless steel."
If a magnet sticks,
you have been stuck with cheap stainless steel.
Sorry.
Both the WaterBroiler Pan AND the Wire Rack
are made of expensive 100% 18/8 Stainless Steel.

AND DELICIOUS RECIPES AND COOKING TIPS.
Many customers have told me my quick and
easy recipes are worth the price of the pan.

By now, I hope I have convinced you to
try my WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan.
I now want to convince you to add
my Forkula Tongs to your order
because, they too, they too, are a
revolutionary cooking invention.
The Forkula Tongs is an innovative tool
I invented to instantly turn food
broiled on my WaterBroiler Pan while
the pan is still under the broiler.
The 100% 18/8 Stainless Steel Forkula™
is shown below turning a hamburger
on a Weber Grill.
|
|
GLIDE the tines of the Forkula™
THROUGH the RACK
and UNDER THE MEAT for easy turning.
NO MORE CHASING HAMBURGERS
WITH A SPATULA!
No more stabbed steaks!
No more dropped chops!
The Forkula is 16" long.
No more burned fingers!
The Forkula is made of
100% 18/8 Stainless Steel
to last a life-time.
No more rusted BBQ tools.
The Forkula is easily
washed by hand. You can also
pop it in your dishwasher.
Since the rack is on top of the pan, you
would risk chasing the broiled food off
the rack if you use a silly spatula
designed to turn pancakes & fried eggs.
With the Forkula, you can turn hamburgers,
sausage patties for breakfast, fish, chops,
steaks, and even onion slices
(for that hamburger) without chasing,
stabbing, or risk of dropping.
One customer wrote:
"THE WATERBROILER AND FORKULA ARE
WONDERFUL--THEY WORK BEAUTIFULLY TOGETHER!"
Although I designed the Forkula Tongs
to instantly turn food broiled
on my WaterBroiler Pan, the
Forkula works equally well to turn food
cooked on outdoor grills with wire racks.
The Forkula works great as a
"stand-alone" BBQ tool that replaces the
silly barbecue tool "set" that doesn't work.
