Has anyone ever used a vortex for chicken wings? The frigging thing is awesome.

Been thinking about getting one, you think it’s worth it to get the original over a knock off?

I do have a slow n sear that I like a lot, use it pretty much every time.

That slow n sear looks pretty damn cool, plus you can add water to it. That’s interesting :thinking:.

My vortex is just a cheapo off Amazon. Its stainless and works great on like chicken wings and chicken legs. My brother in law just used his to cook pork ribs the other night. They were excellent.

Got a knockoff Vortex and I agree it is frigging awesome. Some very tasty wings.

Saw some people doing hot & fast ribs with it… Done in about an hour with the bones cut individually. Might have to give that a try for a quick rib fix.

I like to grill eggplant (poke it all over with a fork first) and a bulb of garlic, then make baba ganoush. It is essentially hummus but made with eggplant instead of garbanzos/chickpeas. Same ingredients: tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic.
Cut pita into triangles for dipping, then wrap in foil to toast/warm on the grill before serving.
