A BBQ Must! Grill Charms Giveaway

by Julie Northrop

I love this invention. It’s one of of those “why didn’t I think of that?” products that make life so much more enjoyable. Leslie Haywood saw this need and took action on it.

Most of us have heard of wine charms, even used them to keep track of our wine glasses as we mingle with others, but how many of you have heard of Grill Charms™? It’s a similar concept just used with grilled foods.

From their website:

Grill Charms™ are similar in concept to the wine charm. These dime-sized solid stainless steel charms are placed in your food before grilling. The stems are serrated to hold securely while grilling, moving and flipping. Grill Charm™ your food prior to cooking to distinguish spices and flavors, steak temperatures, or to avoid health or allergy issues. When dinner comes off the grill everyone knows which one is theirs!

During the summer here in the land of the blazing sun, we tend to BBQ quite a bit to keep our houses cool and our A/C bill manageable. This is the perfect grilling accessory for my neck of the woods…uummm…desert. So I’m getting some of these Grill Charms because I’m darn tired of getting the lemon-pepper instead of the garlic and herbs! There are three Grill Charm Collections to choose from - the Steak, Spicy and Charmed Life.

1 Elizabeth M. { 07.21.08 at 4:28 pm }: The spicy charm is my favorite and I’d keep it for my own family because we all like varying degrees of heat. My son and my hubby like steam coming out of the ears and I like a bit of kick but not like they do. My daughter likes just a hint of heat. This would really be helpful. It’s easy to get them mixed up on the grill because of moving things around to get on hotter coals, etc. This is great! Thanks for the giveaway.
2 Queen of the Click { 07.21.08 at 9:07 pm }: I love the steak set. If I won, I would keep them here because we really need them. My sweetie loves to grill, but he loves his meat rare. Most people prefer medium even well done. So these really would help sweetie make sure that he keeps guests meat on the grill longer so no one has raw meet.
3 Kerrie { 07.21.08 at 9:39 pm }: The steak collection is nice…my family would love them! Definitely makes it easier to know which steak is for which person. Thanks for the chance to win! =)
4 Kerrie { 07.21.08 at 9:41 pm }: I’m now a subscriber too! =)
5 Kendra Field { 07.21.08 at 10:49 pm }: I LOVE the martini charm…I hate to admit it, but I’d be keeping it for myself for sure, I’ve got a martini glass collection but I don’t have a martini meat charm!
6 Jess { 07.22.08 at 2:16 am }: I’ve never seen anything like this before! It would be really cute for a party. I definitely like the crown charms. I’m not sure what my hubby would think of the crowns, but I think he would like any other one!
7 Kam A { 07.22.08 at 9:08 am }: I like the Medium Rare charm because this is exactly how I love my steaks! If I won I would definitelykeep them for myself because we could definitely use them since everyone in my family likes their steaks cooked differently! Thank you for the giveaway!

11 joanne { 07.23.08 at 7:53 am }: i would like the spicy charm. i grill almost daily and my husband and step son love super hot and we have younger kids that always accidentally get the hot. so this would make it so the little ones could still help themselves and know that they got the right food.
12 Stephanie { 07.23.08 at 9:31 am }: I love these, great idea. If I won I would give them to my sister in law. She just got herself a fancy new house with her hunny. He’s a cook, so he would totally dig them.

I especially like the steak collection.

51 Jean { 07.25.08 at 9:53 pm }: These are cute and I’d love to try out the spicy ones at a summer BBQ party! Thanks!!
52 klm { 07.26.08 at 3:19 am }: I confess to not having any idea what these were but it’s an interesting concept. It would be great at family bbq’s and parties. I’d choose the steak collection.
53 trudee carreiro { 07.26.08 at 4:31 am }: I love the steak set I wouldl use it all the time
54 Buddy Garrett { 07.26.08 at 5:13 am }: The Martini Glass Charm is my favorite. I would keep the prize for myself.

Also subscribe via email…thanks for extra entry
58 Julie Parrish { 07.26.08 at 6:13 am }: Id love the steak collection!!!
59 david basile { 07.26.08 at 6:13 am }: Martini Glass Charm
60 Carolyn Ireland { 07.26.08 at 7:41 am }: Love those martini charms!
61 sarah woods { 07.26.08 at 7:55 am }: The spicy followed by the steak; both are winners!!!! Many Thanks SW
62 ELSIE { 07.26.08 at 8:35 am }: WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I love the Steak collection. When my husband grills, he always has to place the food in particular places, so that he can remember how each is grilled…this would be so much more easier and fun. Thanks for the chance.
63 Carla Pullum { 07.26.08 at 8:48 am }: I like the spicy charm!!!!!
64 Roseann Kies { 07.26.08 at 9:25 am }: What a novel idea! Thanks!
65 beth shepherd { 07.26.08 at 9:53 am }: This is such a fantastic idea! thank you for having this. I like the spicy charm as I like my food hot but my kids do not. Again, Thank you!
66 Teresa { 07.26.08 at 10:25 am }: Rare!
67 Miranda Allen { 07.26.08 at 12:11 pm }: Spicy collection
68 Suanne Giddings { 07.26.08 at 12:12 pm }: I like the 4 leaf Clover design the best because it is the sign of good luck and I really want to win. I think the Charmed Life Collection offers the most versatility. Each person is assigned one charm of their choice. You might be cooking 6 steaks and all are medium or medium rare (not enough for each person to have a charm) and 3 want mild (again not enough charms). Thank you for the opportunity to win!
69 paul m { 07.26.08 at 1:23 pm }: good contest to win
70 louise { 07.26.08 at 1:39 pm }: The steak collection is nice…my family would love them!
71 Kasey { 07.26.08 at 2:00 pm }: I like the charmed life collection because would be most versatile. We do a lot of grilling at our house for ourselves as well as dinner for friends so something like this would be really handy, so I’d most likely keep it for myself and then impress my guests with it. I can’t tell you how many times my husband has brought something in on one huge plate and then we all kind of guess what’s what because he can’t remember which is which.
72 Tina Scott { 07.26.08 at 2:24 pm }: I like the steak collection and if I win, I would keep it for myself!
73 Pat S { 07.26.08 at 2:42 pm }: definitely the lucky clover charm!
74 Amanda Barrett { 07.26.08 at 4:04 pm }: I like the lucky glover!
75 djp { 07.26.08 at 4:53 pm }: a contest that you can actually use the product
76 Brandy { 07.26.08 at 5:16 pm }: I would choose the Spicy collection, and it would be great to keep and use here at home!
77 Michele P. { 07.26.08 at 5:50 pm }: I love the spicy set, given that my husband likes a heck of a lot more spice than I do, and my daughter even less than me-this would be perfect for us! I’ve never seen these before and think they are just great!
78 Michele P. { 07.26.08 at 5:50 pm }: I am also a subscriber!
79 christy w { 07.26.08 at 7:49 pm }: I love the steak set. I definitely would give them to my father who has everything —- but these. Then, I am going to have to order for myself if they are as awesome as they look. We built a deck and are cooking out every weekend. I think this would be a great conversation starter as well.
80 Carissa D. { 07.26.08 at 8:22 pm }: I like the Clover Charm. I would probably give this as a gift. Thanks!
81 MaryBeth I { 07.26.08 at 8:35 pm }: Medium rare or spicy (for me!). Everyone else likes well done.
82 regina lane { 07.26.08 at 8:59 pm }: Love the four leaf clover!
Thank you
83 regina lane { 07.26.08 at 9:00 pm }: Love the four leaf clover!
