 Ann Heller, Food Editor of The Dayton Daily News says,
"Dayton inventor's WaterBroiler and Forkula  make life easier for home cooks.

Lee Drannan Smithson calls himself a Scientist. An Inventor.
Occasional 
Caterer. Add to that minimalist and iconoclast —
for in his kitchen, the chemist smashes the prevailing
wisdom of home cooks. Smithson, a bachelor, is
The 
Ultimate Quick Cook. His idea of Cooking is to unwrap
the meat and put it on the pan and tuck it into the oven.

Make that The Pan he invented and has been selling for 
50 years is The Secret to his success in the kitchen. He calls
it a 
WaterBroiler which does double duty as a WaterRoaster.
Designed to eliminate smoke, splatter, flare-ups and
scrubbing, 
it is a two-part pan that looks so simple, 
it invites skepticism. He had become disenchanted
with grilling because of 
concerns about carcinogens.
He turned to broiling, but "that was a mess and a chore," he says.
"The old-style broiler pan is the problem.
The Smoke Comes From The Rack, Not the Meat," he says.
Being a scientist, he decided to find a better way, he invented
 The WaterBroiler - WaterRoaster Pan."

.

Sapere posted her 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. 

 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."

Buyer  Beware When Buying 'Stainless Steel' Cookware.
There are numerous types of Stainless Steel.  By definition, 
'Stainless Steel' is an iron based alloy that contaIns
at least 11% Chromium
That is the cheapest type  of
Stainless Steel. It can react to  acidic food.

The Two  Best Types of Stainless Steel for Cookware are

18/8 and 18/10 Stainless Steel.
They  Contain 18% Chromium AND 8% or 10% Nickel.
They are Easier to Clean, More Durable, and Dishwasher Safe.
They can be poished to a
 Beautiful Mirror Finish. The difference
in 8%  and 10% Nickel 
 makes no discern difference in cookware.
Both types are
 Commercial Grade and are Allowed in Restaurants.

Check Your Stainless Steel Cookware with a Magnet!

A Magnet STICKs to CHEAP Stainless Steel that Contains No Nickel.  
A Magnet Will  NOT STICK to 18/8 nor 18/10 Stainless Steel.

 

Here's Why Steaks Taste Better When Broiled From Frozen!
It take a few extra minutes to Broil to a Crispy Exterior

 While the Frozen Center Cooks Perfectly — Medium Rare.
If you buy steaks and want to broil them right away, throw
them into the freezer for 30 Minutes before Broiling them.

 Chef Pierre Franey says in The New York Times,

The Drannan WaterBroiler Pan works wonderfully, 
not only for broiling but for a variety of things." 

"The Absolute Best Broiler Pan," says Chowhound 
"The Best Broiler Pan on the Planet.
Each time we use it, we Smile.  

 

I am turning a hamburger above on an outdoor grill with
my Forkula™ Tongs. I invented the Forkula to instantly turn 
broiled food on the WaterBroiler Pan while the pan is still 
under the oven broiler. The Forkula is also a great BBQ Tool. 

Here's Why Cold Water in the Pan is Important. 
Easy Cleaning and Better Taste.

The Water does NOT Boil or 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  beneficial|
moisture to the oven to keep food juicy and succulent.
Hand Basting Roasts Is Now A Thing of The Ancient Past! 
The water cools the drippings, preventing sticking & burning.

 Refrigerating the drippings from a roasted chicken

turns the  drippings into chicken jello' which makes a
flavorful sauce or gravy without the fat!

   Pouring water into your old broiler pan  WILL NOT Prevent 
Smoke, Splatter, Flare-ups, and Bake-ons which come from
fat drippings that puddle and burn on ill-conceived common
broiler pan racks with a few ineffefctive drip holes.


Barbara Flanagan says in her insightful book, 
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" broiler pans.

In 1975, a new kind of broiler pan was quietly launched
by 
Lee Drannan Smithson, a chemist in Dayton, Ohio.
He trademarked his
 invention as
The  WaterBroiler™ - WaterRoaster™ Pan.
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 have been  broiling
for a while, the first surprise is silence. No splashing,
no sizzling, no screeching of the smoke alarm.

When the meat is done, it tastes  the way it looks,
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, as 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,
