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 six more minutes.
The 1/2 Inch Center of  1" Steaks Cook Perfectly...Medium Rare.

Hamburgers can be broiled from Frozen for  Convenience,
BUT  be S
ure and Cook them Well-Done.
It is NOT Safe 
to eat Rare or Medium Rare Hamburgers!

 

How To Easily Use and Clean 
The WaterBroiler™ - WaterRoaster™ Pan.

             (1)  Pour 1 1/2 cups of  COLD water into the pan. Place Rack on TOP.
             (2)  Place food to Broil or Roast on Top of the Rack.
(3)  Broil UNDER Your Pre-Heated Electric  Oven Broiler.

                     Gas Broilers do not need to be preheated.
             (4)  Roast in preheated 350° Oven or 325° Convection Oven. 
             (5)  The pan and rack clean in a minute with a soft dishbrush.
                      No Green Pads Needed.  Cleans Beautifully in Dishwasher, too.
            Note:  Some Electric Oven Broilers Require a Closed Overn Door.
             Some older oven broilers Require a slightly open (ajar) Oven Door.
   Check your oven manual for instreuctins.  

After Broiling the Burgers Above, I Cleaned the Pan in a Minute!

Pouring  Cold Water into this Pan Before
Broiling and Roasting Has Two Profound  
Benefits:
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 a beneficial amount of
 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 and prevents sticking.

 Pour the water and drippings from a roasted chicken into a
measuring cup and refrigerated the drippings. The chicken fat
 floats to the top of the water and congeals into solid chicken fat. 

 The remaining water and non-fat chicken drippings turn into  
'chicken jello' which makes a flavorul sauce or gravy with no fat!
   Pouring water into your old broiler pan  does  NOT Work!
 The Smoke, Splatter, Flare-ups, and Bake-ons come from
fat drippings that puddle and burn on ill-conceived common
broiler pan racks with a few ineffefctive drip holes.

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.

 

Right Metal.  Right Rack.  Right Size.  Right Shape.  Right Handles.

This Pan May Be The World's Most Versatile Cooking Pan.   

 The Best Broiler Pan . The Best Roasting Pan.  A Gratin Pan.
A 12" Paella Pan.  A Baking Pan.  A Pie Pan.  A Serving Platter.
A Cooling Rack with A 'Built-In' Crumb Catcher!

of butter. I couldn't resist naming them after myself after noticng

 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 some of 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 tedious 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 and 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."

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, t
he 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,

"Our salmon was more moist and tastier than ever."

I am turning the burger below on an outdoor grill with
my Forkula™ Tongs Invention.  I invented the Forkula to
instantly turn food on the WaterBroiler Pan while the pan is
still under the oven broiler, but they are also a great BBQ Tool. 

"I LOVE the WaterBroiler Pan.  It made a great cook outme."
"I can hardy 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. E
very single thing you said about this
incredible pan is true. 
Not a word of hype or exaggeration.
Thanks for an inventive mind and the marketking
smarts
