My absolute favorite food in the universe is a good juicy steak, and when I found my new grilling stone, I was so excited by the way my steaks came out I switched over completely to cooking them this way. I am kind of a purist when it comes to grilling my steak and whenever it is possible, I like to use an open flame. One day during the winter I decided to broil my steaks in the oven, and the results were horrendous to say the least.

While I absolutely adore just about everything involved with grilling, such as using different marinades, seasonings, even mesquite every now and then, the one thing that I don’t like so much is having to clean the grill afterwards. A short while ago, my wife and I decided to change things up a bit and instead of grilling steaks, we grilled some yummy shish kabobs. We were happy with how they turned out, since we used a new delicious marinade and our favorite vegetables like squash and snow peas. These shish kabobs were so tasty, and my wife and I were delighted with the results.

Disaster struck, however, when we decided to recreate our achievement a few days later. The last time I had grilled, I had been so full that I didn’t want to take the time to scrub the grill, and I didn’t think it would be an issue, but when I tried to flip the kabobs over I was aghast to see that they were stuck to the grill. I tried to pull them free, but the marinade had bonded quite well to the black stuff on the grill and my precious meat tore.

It was most distressing to me to see my perfect meat ruined. I hardly managed to make it through the meal, so distraught was I with the torn meat. Afterward, I took the grill out and scrubbed it with a wire brush until it shone like new. I wanted to make sure that it would never happen again, but I just felt a little disappointed with the whole notion of grilling.

But imagine my surprise when I received for a gift a grilling stone only a few days later. I had not heard of cooking stones like this before, but I could hardly wait to use it and see how it went. I immediately got out my new device and cooked up a delicious steak right on the table. Needless to say, it was an amazing experience for me. When the steak was finished, I ate with great pleasure and vowed that I would cook my steak like this every time!
