<p />So far so good using Food Loops for the first time. This is a small pork tenderloin which was prepared per Q-Babes infamous coffee encrusted recipe. Note I merely tucked the long ends under so they won't get tangled in the grill. They were far easier to use than tieing with kitchen twine.

    RRP,
    I gave a set to my daughters for Christmas. I used mine on a small turkey and they have both usded them several times. I kind of look at things like Alton Brown does - the multitasking thing - but these are something you can't do much else with but I wouldn't be without them now.

    I have used them also and they are better than messing with string. [p]Toy Man

    Sundown, Hey, I know what you mean about the special use - it's just like the set of "Grip Wrenches" which I also requested for Christmas. With their strong rubber strip they will grip almost anything and give you a terrific grip. Will I use them often? Probably not, but that is what makes having a "cool tool box" all about! Having the right tool for the right purpose! Now to use the Spring Chicken's method just sign me:

    HolySmokes, LOL - I swear pink is not my color either but when something works as well as these do then you become color blind!

    Cool lookin' idea. Went to their website and it was noted that although they'll take up to 625°F of heat, they're not meant to be used direct over the flame on a bbq grill. Looks like the tenderloins were done direct; was there any noticeable effect on the Loops at all?

    BBQfan1,
    No, there was no off-taste and both my wife and I are quick to notice such. I knew of the mfg warning, but here's why I risk it:
    a) my cook was on a raised grill so further from the heat
    b) my dome temp was only 325°
    c) the cook would only be 30 minutes or less
    d) I plopped down 3 handfuls of water soaked cherry wood chips on top of the heart of the fire
    And then besides - some of you think I walk on the wild side of life anyway because in under 2 months I will have had my Rutland gasket on for 5 long years!
