It's the same thing as your grease catcher it's just made by weber that's the only difference

This is the weber grease catch pan. It holds the weber tin foil pans. One of the top black bars on mine rusted. Buy the best deal you can find including shipping but DO NOT buy a "copy" as they rarely last. I have had my new one for some time now and it works fine. If you can get one delivered for $16, go for it! I own the Pet Door Hood Company and find my shipping charges (no handling) average $15 for less than 3 pounds. I did buy a weber ignitor on Amazon and it stopped working after only 6 months. I emailed the seller but have received no response as Amazon says they have a 1 year warranty. Bottom line is if you can buy this at one of your local stores for close to the same price, do it! This is the weber grease catch pan. It holds the weber tin foil pans.

It does exactly what your grease catch pan does, except you can put in foil liners inside and not have to wash out grease just dispose of foil liner.

If you have a Weber gas grill like mine, it has a rectangular bottom tray with a round hole at the bottom. This catch pan holder clips into the round hole and catches the glop that drips out as you cook. They sell (for $5) a set of throw-away aluminum pans - Weber 6415 Small 7-1/2-Inch-by-5-inch Aluminum Drip Pans, Set of 10 - to use inside this pan holder. You can toss 1 or 2 of these out each year, along with all the glop. The $16 catch pan is an altogether different item, with no clip to hold it onto the hole in the bottom. I guess it depends on which Weber grill you have. If you have a Weber gas grill like mine, it has a rectangular bottom tray with a round hole at the bottom.

This grease is not the OEM grease used by Kitchen Aid. However, it is a food grade product and is supposedly of higher quality; it is cheaper as well. It seems to work fine for my Kitchen Aid Mixer.

Kind of hard to answer that, but it was worth the $9.99 I paid for it. It spreads the heat over the entire griddle or frying pan quite well. Look up "flame tamer" on Amazon, and there are other sellers listing them for around $14.

It has a wide but shallow drip pan that works just fine for us. It rolls out smoothly and can handle and entire pound of bacon grease. It is plastic and i'm sure if you handle it roughly it may break, but our last griddle's drip pan lasted 3 years before it broke and I crazy glued it and it lasted for another year or so. Plus you can easily replace these parts by going online to the presto site.

You don't want to use this for brake jobs. You want something that doesn't release oil at higher temperatures. Any auto parts store should carry brake caliper grease at a similar $8-13 pricepoint. It's much tackier and almost sticky. Just the right thing for something that isn't truly sealed. My caliper pins on my crown victoria are only sealed by a plug, of sorts. It's certainly not airtight or water tight. Thus the tacky caliper grease repels the water and stays in place well. Not to say you absolutely couldn't use it, but if there's any chance that the oil will seep and get onto the brake pads/rotors, you absolutely do not want to use this!

You don't need to put a pan under it. Actually I think if you do put a pan under it, it will not work as it's suppose to. If you are worried about grease, you could put a pan on the bottom rack so that way if anything drips it catches it. I haven't used mine yet, but have seen other people say how this works.

I would be interested to know what it is for as well! I just lay it in the tray in case it does 'something'! :-\

I'm not sure what you mean. If you are asking if this works on most grease fittings, then yes it does.

I used it on the grill, over part and the hood. It does a great job on removing the grease.

Don't know....haven't tried it.But...I usually only use pans, etc for their intended purpose.

I've tried it with salmon and it didn't work very well. Like the previous comment, not great for that since there is no cover to stop grease spatter. I mainly use for eggs, bacon and pancakes. Works great for that.

Yes I purchased both. I found this one to be "friendlier" on stainless steel which you did not want to see any scratches on, when using. This one appears to have a much finer powder to it. Use it with the sponges which are non scratch and you'll have new looking pans. I use it about once a week to make sure there is no oil build up on the sides. Works like a charm in eliminating burnt on oil as well.

This is the gear box grease. I am not aware of another grease for the models listed.

Its not a spatula, its a plastic type scraper ( which works quite well ) I love the pan & its worth the money ! The same pan at William Sonoma is around $ 50 ( Nordic ware makes the pans for William Sonoma )

the frying pan has a bubbles texture each about the size of a small button or maybe bubble wrap pattern...I think it helps prevents stuff sticking to surface

The basket comes out for clean up. A drain plug allows the grease to drain. I put water and detergent in mine clean and drain and through the drain plug. Easy clean up.

Jack, This Lumax unit requires NO external power. The hose connection can be adjusted to stay on the grease fitting as long as you don't pull to hard on it. You squeese the red handle to dispense the grease. The grease comes in a tube so you don't get dirty. The grease canister has a pull tab to open, drop the grease tube in the canister, you put the top back on the grease gun, attach the hose & fitting on the zirk you want to lubricate and squeese the handle to dispence the lubricant. You can purchase air powered grease guns, their very expensive and unless you've got dozens of fittings why spend that money. The Lumax unit comes with detailed instructions.
