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."

"Unbelievable product, better than advertised."
"The WaterBroiler Pan is Fantastic. A Must Have Item."
"Great product. What a relief it is to junk my old broiler pan!"
"Why are you keeping this wonderful product such a secret?
Here's How I Invented My Simple-Looking Pan to Be
Smoke-Free, Splatter-Free, Flame-Free, and Scrub-Free.
Everything about the Design of my Pan Has
A Scientific Reason for Being Which Makes it Work Wonderfully
And Totally Unlike Any Other Broiler-Roaster Pan.
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 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.
Pour a cup and a half of COLD water into the drip pan prior to Broiling
and Roasting to catch and cool the drippings. The water prevents
the drippings from sticking and makes cleaning of the pan a breeze.
The water slightly evaporates just enough to add a very beneficial
amount of moisture to the oven to keep food juicy and succulent.
Hand Basting when Roasting is Now a Thing of the Ancient Past!
Absolutely no smoke, no splatter, and no flare-ups come from this rack.
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 hot as quickly as broiler-roaster 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 Kinds 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 at 10% Nickel.
18/8 and 18/10 Stainless Steel are the Best Stainless Steel for Cookware.
The small 2% difference in Nickel makes no practical dfference.
The High Chromium and Nickel content of 18/8 and 18/10 Stainless Steel
makes the metals impervious to acidic foods, more durable, and
polishable to a very smooth, mirror finish for easy cleaning.
Here's a Way to Test Your 'Stainless Steel' Products:
A magnet will STICK to cheap stainless steel that contains No nickel.
A magnet will NOT STICK to expensive 18/8 or 18/10 Stainless Steel.
The Round Pan is Right
Unlike rectangular pans that are too big and impossible to clean,
This 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
The Easy-to-Grip Handles are Welded to
The WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan Where They Belong.
Most broiler pans don't even have handles!
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.
"The ease of cleaning is wonderful, and I enjoy not having grease splattered all over the broiling area. The Forkula Tongs are also excellent." Dr. Paul Gorsuch, M.D.,Texas

Believe it or not, You Can Now Broil
The Best Tasting Steaks and Hamburgers
FROM THE FROZEN STATE. NO THAWING!
Frozen Steaks take a few extra minutes to Broil to a Crispy Exterior
While the Frozen Center Cooks Perfectly...Medium Rare.
My two favorite steaks are a 1" thick marbled Rib-Eye or
a 1" thick New York Strip (aka Boneless Top Loin).
Broil about seven minutes until crispy brown.
Turn and continue broiling for seven more minutes.
The 1/2 Inch Center of 1" Steaks Cook Perfectly...Medium Rare.
Once you eat a steak broiled from The Frozen State,
You will Freeze All Your Steaks Before Broiling.
Hamburgers can be broiled from the Frozen State for
Convenience, but be sure and cook them well-done.
It is NOT Safe to eat rare or medium rare hamburgers!
And, Imagine The Ease and Convenience.
When you're pressed for time, or you're too tired to cook,
pull frozen steaks or hamburgers out of your freezer and
Broil them while you're microwaving the vegetables and
potatoes or making a salad and setting the table.
You will be sitting down to a delicious, trouble-free meal in
less than 30 minutes with less effort than it would take to
get ready to go out to eat and for a fraction of the cost.
You Can Buy the WaterBroiler Pan/Forkula Tongs Set
And a Lifetime of Broiling and Roasting Pleasure for

Everything About The Common Broiler Pan Is Wrong.
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 in 1967.
As a scientist, 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.
Besides breathing the harmful smoke, the smoke adulturates grilled food with
potential cancer causing chemicals. I quit grilling in 1967. I warned anyone who would
listen to "Stop Grilling." The National Cancer Institute finally issued a Warning in 1996!
I started To Broil, but that was a hateful mess. I hated scrubbing that old broiler pan that
came free with my oven so much, I decided to see if the broiler pan could be improved.
Since the 1st Rule of The Scientific Method is OBSERVATION,
I observed hamburgers as they broiled on that hateful broiler pan above.
That simple experiment opened my eyes to The Hidden Broiling Problem.
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!
I could barely restrain myself from Shouting..."Eureka!!"
Virtually ALL the Smoke, Splatter, and Flare-ups Came From Drippings that
Puddled and Burned On that Foolish Perforated Sheet Metal Rack that has
been the ill-conceived 'standard' on common broiler pans for over 100 years.
Common Roasting Pans are also ill-Conceived.
They are improperly fabricated of "good" heat conducting metals like
aluminum, dark colored porcelain steel, or clad metals which are Not Good.
Those Metals Quickly get HOT and Burn the
Drippings into Impossible to Scrub-off Black Char.
ALL Broiling and Roasting Problems
Are Caused By Drippings that Touch Hot Metal.
Think about it, and You will come to the same conclusion I came to 50 years ago:
Broiling Pans and Roasting Pans do NOT need to get HOT to Cook Perfectly!
The Cooler those Pans Stay, the Better. The Cooler the Drippings Stay, the Better.
The Eye-Opening 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 Broiler-Roaster Pan.
* I invented The WaterBroiler-WaterRoaster Pan in 1967. I started producing and
Selling it to Grateful Cooks in my first ad in Gourmet Magazine, October, 1975.
"Wow. We're Speechless. We LOVE the pan. You are a Genius!"
"If there were a Nobel Prize for cookware design, you'd get my vote."
By Lee Drannan Smithson
Before I Can Begin to Convince You that My
WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™ Pan Invention Will
Solve ALL Your Hateful Broiling and Roasting Problems,
You Need to Know THE CAUSE of Those
Problems that has Plagued Cooks for Over 100 Years!
It's NOT what YOU Think! It's NOT what Food Authorities Think.
The Common Broiler Pan IS
THE BROILING CULPRIT...NOT BROILING!
Here's How To 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 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.
(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 Pan And Rack are The Two Main Secrets.
Pouring Cold Water into the drip Pan before Broiling and Roasting
Has Such Profound Cleaning And Taste Benefits,
The Pan is Registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as
The WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™ Pan.
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.
The water evaporates just enough to add a very beneficial
amount of moisture to the oven to keep food juicy and succulent.
Hand Basting is Now a Thing of the Ancient Past!
The 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 the Rare 18/8 Stainless Steel Wire Rack 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 Accomplish the Same Thing.
Yes, water will make your old 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 Perforated Sheet Metal Racks
With Sparsely Spaced, Ineffective Drip Holes or Slots.
Chef Pierre Franey reviewed the
Drannan WaterBroiler Pan in The New York Times
"Recenty I received an excellent piece of equipment that
works wonderfully, not only for broiling, but for a variety of things.
It is called a WaterBroiler pan and rack. It worked perfectly.
The fat did not burn and the pan, which is round with sloping
curved sides and no crevices to to catch food, was simple to clean.
Both the rack and the pan are extremely strong and durable."
www.nytimes.com/1982/06/09/garden/kitchen-equipment.html
The Houston Chronicle says
"Inventive pan eases cleanup
it minimizes smoke, splatters, and scrubbing"
http://m.chron.com/life/food/article/Inventive-pan-eases-cleanup-1568932.php
After reading the above article, over 1000 Texans bought
The Drannan WaterBroiler®-WaterRoaster™ Pan.
Three Delighted 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 outdoors."
Barbara Flanagan wrote in Flanagan's Smart Home
The 98 Essentials for Starting Out, Starting Over, Scaling Back
"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, neither
desiccated nor raw, but 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.
Unless a big chain or manufacturer decides to license his product,
Smithson will go on making the pans (in India) and collecting
grateful testimonials from happy broilers all over the land.
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."
My Pan Looks So Simple, it Invites Skepticism,
Particularly Since All My Claims Sound Too Good To Be True!
To Prove ALL my Claims are True, it Takes a Lot of Explanation and Proof.
