Sapere posted this review on Cooks Illustrated Bulletin Board:
"I bought Drannan's WaterBroiler, guessing that the Pan would not
be as ideal as it claims, but still better than the usual broiler pans.
In other words, I thought it was too good to be true, but since he
promised a money-back guarantee, it was a low-risk experiment.
It turned out that the pan delivered everything it claimed.
I used to avoid broiling due to the mess and smoke.
Now I broil almost every day. It may sound sappy but this pan
has really changed the way I cook. And no, I am not a paid
spokesperson for the product...just a converted skeptic."

Here's The Science Behind my Pan
Which Makes it Work "1000 Times Better"
Than Common Broiler-Roaster Pans.
"I've used your Potatoes drANNAn Recipe Countless Times"
I changed the Pommes Anna Recipe to be healthier by using Extra Virgin Olive Oil Instead of Butter. I couldn't resist naming them after myself after I noticed that the middle part of my middle name, DrANNAn, spells ANNA. Many cooks have written that my very easy, delicious recipes are worth the price of The Pan. I hope you write, too. It will make my day!

"Works just as described. My husband LOVES the WaterBroiler Pan. Easy to Clean. Steaks were Great."
The Rack is Right. The Metal is Right. The Shape is Right. The Size is Right.
The Handles are Right. Most Broiler Pans Don't Even Have Handles!!
The 18/8 Stainless Steel Wire Rack is Right
The ill-conceived perforated sheet metal rack on
Common Broiler Pans is The Main Broiling Culprit.
Only a small fraction of drippings can drip through those sparsely
spaced small holes or slots. It was a hellish design from the Git-Go.
Most of the drippings puddle on those sheet metal racks to get
Hot and Smoke, Splatter, Flare-up, and Burn into Tenacious Black Char.
The WaterBroiler 18/8 Stainless Steel Wire Rack allows virtually ALL
the drippings to Instantly Drop through the rack into the drip (Drop) Pan.
Absolutely no smoke, no splatter, and no flare-ups come from this rack.
I used my prototype 18/8 Stainless Steel Pan and Rack a few times for
broiling and roasting and it worked with No Smoke, No Splatter, and
No Flare-ups, but the drippings slightly stuck to the drip pan.
As I was washing the pan, I got an idea. Could I pour COLD Water
into the pan Before Broiling and Roasting to prevent the sticking?
I poured a cup and half of Cold Tap Water into the pan, and I broiled three
hamburgers, and the water prevented sticking and made the drip pan clean
like a breeze. The water slightly evaporated (did NOT steam) when broiling.
I later found out the water, when Roasting, added a small beneficial
amount of moisture to the oven to keep the food juicy and succulent.
That is when I decided to trademark my broiler-roaster pan invention as
The WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™ Pan.
The 18/8 Stainless Steel Metal is Right
Both The Drip Pan AND The Wire Rack are made of 100%
18/8 Stainless Steel for More than Beauty and Endurance.
18/8 Stainless Steel is a poor heat conductor, the perfect metal for a
broiler-roaster pan that does NOT need to get HOT to cook perfectly.
Of course, the pan gets hot, but not as quickly as pans made of
good heat conducting aluminum, black porcelain steel, or clad metals..
Buyer Beware when Buying 'Stainless Steel' Cookware!
Did you know? There are Over 100 Types of
'Stainless Steel' based on Chemical Composition!
By definition, "Stainless Steel" is Any Iron Based Alloy that contains
at least 11% Chromium. Stainless Steel that meets that minimum
definition is NOT good for Cookware. It is reactive to acidic food.
18/8 Stainless Steel contains at least 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel.
18/10 Stainless Steel contains at least 18% Chromium and 10% Nickel.
18/8 and 18/10 Stainless Steels are The Best for Cookware. Slight variations
in nickel composition are permitted which makes them practically identical.
Here's an Instant Way to Test Your Stainless Steel Products:
A magnet will STICK to Cheap Stainless Steel that contains No Nickel.
If a magnet sticks, you got stuck with cheap stainless steel.
A magnet will NOT STICK to Expensive 18/8 and 18/10 Stainless Steel.
The Round Pan is Right
Unlike rectangular pans that are too big for everyday use, this
12 inch Round Pan is Thoughtfully Designed To Fit IN Divided Sinks.
To Fit IN Dishracks. To Fit IN Dishwashers.
And, To Hang Beautifully on your Potrack for Daily Access.
"Used 11 times the first week! Helps my diet."
The Size is Right
Unlike typical broiler-roaster pans, the 12 Inch Diameter Round
Pan (not including handles) is the perfect size for most households.
It holds 6 small Hamburgers, 4 NY Strip Steaks, A Rib-Roast for 8,
Half-a-Ham, An 11 Pound Turkey, or a Pork Crown Roast with 14 Chops..
It's so Easy to Use and Clean, it's also Perfect for Singles and Couples.
The Handles are Right
Most broiler pans don't even have handles!
The Easy-to-Grip Handles are Welded to
The WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan Where They Belong.
Some foolish broiler pans have handles on the rack!
Most roasting pans are carelessly designed with no-handles or dropped
handles which are difficult to lift-up without burning your fingers.
Frozen Steaks take a few extra minutes to Broil to a Crispy Exterior
While the Frozen Center Prevents the Center from Overcooking!
The 1/2 Inch Center of 1" Steaks Cook Perfectly...Medium Rare.
My two favorite steaks are a 1" thick marbled Rib-Eye
And a 1" thick New York Strip (aka Boneless Top Loin).
Broil seven minutes until Crispy Brown.
Turn and continue broiling for six more minutes.
Once you eat a Steak Broiled from Frozen,
You Will Freeze All Your Steaks Before Broiling.
Hamburgers can be Broiled from Frozen for
Convenience, but Cook them Well-Done.
It is NOT Safe to eat Rare or Medium Rare Hamburgers!
Imagine The Ease and Convenience.
When you don't have time or energy to cook,
pull frozen steaks or hamburgers out of your freezer and
Broil them while you're microwaving the vegetables and
potatoes and making a salad and setting the table.
You can be sitting down to a steak dinner in about 29 Minutes.
Add One Minute to CLEAN the WaterBroiler Pan.
You Can Buy the WaterBroiler Pan/Forkula Tongs Set
And a Lifetime of Broiling and Roasting Pleasure for
About the Cost of One Steak Dinner in a Fine Restaurant.

For many years, my pans, racks, and tongs were proudly made in
Ohio and Indiana. Unfortunately, the cost of making them here
increased to more than my selling price a few years ago.
To keep selling them at an affordable price, they are now made
exclusively for Drannan Cookware in India. They are still made
of expensive, high quality 18/8 Stainless Steel Polished to
A Mirror Finish just like they were made in the U.S.A.

"My husband LOVES it. Easy to Clean. Steaks were Great.
"Our Salmon was More
Moist and Tastier than Ever."
Here's Why Common Broiler Pans Cause ALL Broiling Problems.
The Rack is Wrong. The Metal is Wrong. The Shape is Wrong. The Size is Wrong.
Here's How I Made that Shocking Cooking Discovery.
As a young scientist in1967, my analytical chemistry research
revealed that carcinogenic compounds are often formed when
Organic Materials are Burned or Heated to a High Temperature!
I became concerned that smoke from burned grilling drippings
could be carcinogenic, and I Stopped Grilling and Started To Broil.
But, Broiling was Hateful Mess. I Hated the Smoke, the Splatter,
the Flare-ups, and Scrubbing that Old-Style Broiler Pan that
came free with my oven so much, I decided to See if the
Old-Style Broiler Pan Could be Improved.
Since the First Rule of The Scientific Method is Observation,
I watched hamburgers as they broiled on that old broiler pan above.
That Simple Experiment Opened My Eyes to The Broiling Culprit.
Here's What I Saw...And What I Did NOT See.
Virtually NONE of the Smoke, Splatter, and Flare-ups
Came Directly from the Hamburgers!
The Hamburgers, per se, were Totally Innocent.
I was Flabbergasted!
Virtually ALL the Smoke, Splatter, and Flare-ups
Came From Drippings That Puddled and Burned On that
Perforated Sheet Metal Rack with a few "drip" holes.
I could barely restrain myself from Shouting, "Eureka!!"
It was then easy to conclude that
Common Roasting Pans Cause All Roasting Problems
Because they are Improperly Fabricated of
"good heat conducting metals" like Aluminum, Copper,
Dark Colored Porcelain Steel, and Clad Metals which
Quickly get HOT and Burn the Drippings into Black Char.
The Revelation that Common Broiler-Roaster Pans Cause
ALL Broiling and Roasting Problems, Led to my invention of
The World's First* Smoke-Free,
Splatter-Free, Flame-Free, Scrub-Free
Easy Cleaning Broiler-Roaster Pan.
*I invented this pan in 1967. Production Started in 1975.
"I LOVE the WaterBroiler Pan. It made a great cook out of me."
"I can't believe it. The best results I've ever had, and I'm a darned
good cook. I don't know how I've lived this long without this pan.
Not a word of hype or exaggeration. I've never seen anything
to beat this." Mrs. O'Brien, Boca Raton, Florida.
"I LOVE this pan. Awesome Results with the easiest clean-up ever."
"The WaterBroiler Pan is Fantastic. A Must Have Item."
"Got it. Used it. Cleaned it. Loved it. Worth every penny."
"Fantastic product. Cooked the best hamburgers ever."
"Cooked the best roast chicken we have ever eaten."
"I cooked four Cornish game hens for Christmas.
We've never tasted juicier poultry."
"My wife's favorite pan." Larry F. Byard, www.duxcw.com
"For the tired husband who is forced to do the pots and pans,
it's the greatest invention since the wheel. I cheer you every
time I do the pots and pans." Robert L. Hays, Cleveland, Ohio
"Why doesn't the whole world know about this pan?"

"It is a new experience to turn broiled food without

"I LOVE this pan.
Retired Chef who hates doing dishes."
"The Absolute Best Broiler Pan"
www.chowhound.com
"The Best Roasting Pan You Will Ever Buy."
"The broiling pan of the future is here,
its design 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.
In 1975, a new kind of broiler pan was quietly launched by
Lee Drannan Smithson, a chemist now living in Dayton, Ohio.
He trademarked his invention, a deceptively simple device, as
The WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™ and has been selling it to
consumers, one by one, via direct mail and website ever since.
Its simplicity only dramatizes its success, which comes
from not doing what other pans have done.
After a pan full of burgers or chicken legs has been
broiling for a while, the first surprise is silence. No splashing,
no burbling, no sizzling, no screeching of the smoke alarm.
When the meat is done, it tastes the way it looks,
just like ad copy always says: moist on the inside, crisp
on the outside. Afterwards, the pan needs no scouring,
just a trip through the dishwasher's regular cycle.
That his innovation has not become a mainstream commercial
product, ubiquitous as the colander, explains a lot about design.
Unless the product can sell itself, by looking like what it's
supposed to look like, it can't compete in the big marketplace.
A product that needs explaining, like his, is a hard sell.
And that's part of its charm. It reminds you that the big companies
don't have all the answers after all. The inventor/entrepreneur
is still alive and well, cooking silent burgers in Ohio."
After reading the above article, over 1000 Texans ordered
The WaterBroiler Pan/Forkula Tongs Set. Three Texans wrote:
"I've waited all my life for a pan like this."
"My husband says we may never use a skillet again!"
"My husband LOVES your WaterBroiler Pan so much, he now refuses to grill."
Chef Pierre Franey says in The New York Times
"The WaterBroiler Pan...works wonderfully,
not only for broiling but for a variety of things."
Here's How You Can Easily Use and Easily Clean
The WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™ Pan.
It Couldn't be Easier! It Couldn't be Cleaner! It Could't be Simpler!
Use The Pan Under Your Existing Oven Broiler When
Broiling and In Your 350° Oven When Roasting.
The Pan is NOT designed for stove-top use.
(1) Pour 1½ Cups of COLD WATER into The Pan Before
Broiling and Roasting. That's about 1/4 inch of COLD Water.
Fear not. The water will NOT steam the food in this
'poor heat conducting' 18/8 Stainless Steel Pan.
It takes 2 hours in a 350° Oven for the water to boil.
(2) Place the Rack on TOP of the Pan. Place Food on
Top of The Rack. Never Cover the Food with Anything.
(3) Broil UNDER Your Oven Broiler or Roast IN
Your 350° Oven, The Ideal Roasting Temperature!
The Insightful Design of The 18/8 Stainless Steel Drip Pan AND
The 18/8 Stainless Steel Wire Rack are The Two Essential Secrets.
Cold Water is the Third Secret!
I found that Pouring Cold Water into my Prototype Pan Before
Broiling and Roasting Had Profound Cleaning And Taste Benefits So
My Pan is Registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as
The WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™ Pan.
The water evaporates just enough to add a small beneficial
amount of moisture to the oven to keep food juicy and succulent.
Hand Basting is Now a Thing of the Ancient Past!
The cold water cools the drippings and prevents the drippings
from sticking which makes the drip pan super easy to clean.
The Mirror-Polished 18/8 Stainless Steel Drip Pan and Rack Are
Are Easily Cleaned in a Minute with a Dishbrush or Dishcloth.
NO STEEL WOOL. NO GREEN PADS.
NO SCRUBBING EVER NEEDED. GUARANTEED.
The Pan and Rack Also Clean Beautifully In Your Dishwasher!
CAUTION:
Don't think that you can pour water into your old broiler pan
and accomplish the same thing. No, You Can't!
Yes, water will make your old-style drip pan easier to clean,
but water in common broiler pans will NOT prevent
Broiling Smoke, Splatter, Flare-ups, and Scrubbing
That Come From Hot Drippings that Puddle, Flare-up, And Burn on
Ill-Conceived Perforated Sheet Metal Racks with a few 'drip holes.'
A Free Recipe Booklet of Quick and Easy Recipes
That Even Novice Cooks Can Follow Easily And Become Good Cooks
Will be Included with Your WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan.
The Recipes are Simple to Make and Simply Delicious.
