Black Friday

We all know the madness about the day after Thanksgiving. Big shoppers prepare a long time for it, others try to find the best sale that day, in stores or online. But do you know what´s the history behind the name of this beloved bargain day?

It is not that cheerful as how we know the day now. ´Black Friday´ started in Philadelphia in 50s. Philadelphian policemen used these words for the post-Thanksgiving day for it´s mess and chaos caused by crowds coming to city center a day before Army-Navy football game played that Saturday. There was a lot of traffic and every place was overcrowded. Also it was a perfect day for shoplifters to steal and loot. So for Philly officers it was a really Black Friday.

The term spread nationally very quickly. The day became a big day for all retailers and nowadays is this American tradition leaking internationally. And is expanded from 1 to 4 days. I am glad today we only remember the nice thing about this day.

We wrote a book!

Yes, that´s right! And we had so much fun writing it. Our book is called ´Cooking with Hell Forks and it contains 33 recipes and is divided into few sections – Meats on skewers, Hot dogs, Side dishes, S´mores and Sauces. There is a recipe for everyone. We got inspired on Pinterest, honestly. Hope you understand. But we are not copying! All those recipes we cooked for ourselves to try what´s the best and what needs to be changed for you. Everybody can get the e-book for free. It´s given to all of our customers, who but at least one set of Hell Forks roasting sticks on Amazon! Check out one of our absolute favorites:

World´s most expensive hamburgers

Do you all remember that epic car scene conversation about Quarter Pounder with Cheese from the Pulp Fiction movie? I hope all of you do! It´s price is about $3.80 at U.S. McDonald´s. But can you imagine spending for example $777 for one burger? Well, if you do, then keep on reading. And if you don´t and you are just curious as well.

A $777 burger you can order in Las Vegas if you had a lucky day in casino. Ingredients seem very appetizing: Kobe beef, lobster, brie cheese, prosciutto and very very old balsamic vinegar (about 100-year-old!).

Have you ever heard about ´Glamburger´? It was considered the most expensive burger in the world back in 2014 by The Huffington Post being $1,768. This cost is probably caused by luxurious ingredients, such as Iranian saffron, white and black truffle, Kobe beef, Canadian lobster, Matcha tea, gold leaf and others. Yes, gold leaf!

The Fleur Burger from Las Vegas costs $5,000, made of Kobe, black truffle and foie gras. But why should you spend this much money on it, when you can find the recipe on the internet, right?

You could think 5 thousand is way too much and that one as to be the most expensive. Nope, it´s not! The most expensive burger comes from a laboratory. It is technically not the whole burger, but scientists at Maastrict University in Netherlands grow their own meat from stem cells. And 5 ounces of this cost $330,000! Um, bargain.

Doneness levels

The doneness level is a level of how the steak is cooked through. That is very important for color, temperature, structure and most likely for the taste. The time of preparation each level depends on various quality and height of the meat and temperature of grill.

Raw and Blue

Raw steak is what it sounds like. The meat is completely raw. This type of steak is not sold in one piece. It is usually sold in the form of tartare or carpaccio.

Blue steak is seared lightly on the outside but completely red inside. This type of steak is not very juicy and hard to chew.

Rare

Rare steak is seasoned and seared but it is red of 75% inside. There needs to be a brief rest after it´s done for the steak to be juicy. This is one of the most loved doneness levels. The temperature of center should be 123.8 °F.

Medium rare

Medium rare is a little bit more done than rare. 50% of the inside should be red, but it is still very juicy and tender as the one before. The surface of steak is brown. Center temperature is between 129.2 and 132.8 °F.

Medium

Brown outside, pink by 25% inside with central temperature of 141.8 °F. To be juicy, medium steak needs few minutes of rest. But it is a little harder to cut and chew.

Well done

This one is brown all the way through, very tough and not so juicy. Center temperature is 158 °F. The majority of steak lovers would say this is wasting of the meat.

The Difference

Did you even know there is a difference between grilling and barbecue? Yes, there is, despite people exchange these two words sometimes.

Grilling is a way of meat preparation, where the meat is grilled over very high heat and over direct fire for a little while.

At barbecue, on the other side, the meat is prepared in the smoke for a longer time. The meat is usually not sliced and if marinated, then not in salt. The meat would be too dry if there would be salt in the marinade.  And there is one more inseparable part of barbecue – sauces and dips.

Great history of grilling

Let´s start from the beginning. This whole thing with preparing food over the fire had to start the time when people discovered the fire for the first time. There even are 300.000-year-old fire coals with a bit of meat on them.

The ´barbecue´ word has its origin in 17.century at Arawak tribe from Haiti. They used a grid to prepare their meat in the smoke of the fire and called it barbacoa. Later was barbacoa used by Spanish people for gatherings for enjoying meal together.

In US the popularity of grilling started to raise in 18.century. Cooks used large grills for cooking whole pigs along the south-east coast. Then they started to serve grilled meat with various sauces as well.

In 1897 Ellsworth Zwoyer let patent a very revolutionary thing – coal briquettes. Famous Henry Ford was looking for a way how to use wooden waist from production and he found it in the production of charcoal. He made this an official accessory of the Model T in a ´Picnic Kit´ containing open portable grill and a pack of charcoal briquettes.

You probably know or even own one of Weber grills. These started to be very popular in the US after 1952. Until then Weber Brothers Company produced metal buoys. In 1952 George Stephen made the very first covered grill by the half of a buoy. Using these meant no more flying ashes all around the meal!

In the 60´s Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company introduced their gas grill.

Nowadays, there are plenty of various types, technologies and brand of grills. Everyone can choose whatever is the most suitable for him. But the role of grilling in our lives is large. And it will be.

Hey Forkers,

Today I would like to tell you something about Hell Forks hot dog roasting sticks and introduce Hell Forks company to you as well.

At first I will tell you a little about history of Hell Forks. Hell Forks is very young brand which was founded nine months ago by two young students from Czech Republic. The name Hell Forks does not meat anything against Christians. Some of you wrote us in the reviews on Amazon page that the word „Hell“ offend some of you and we are very sorry for it. We decided for this name because we wanted to conect fire, which the word „Hell“ should evouque you, and the basic name of the product „Forks“. As one of our reviewers said: 'These have got to be the best thing that have come from hell' and we hope it is the only one thing which will ever come from hell.

Hell Forks hot dog roasting sticks are available on Amazon only five mounths so we are fighting for our place on the top pages but we climb as we can.

When we designed and prepared the production our main focus we focused mainly on three points – premium quality,  awesome design & safety for users. The main goal was to make Hell Forks roasting sticks different, unique and non plastic. So we take the most sturdy stainless steal and hard wood and conected them together. I think the results are great. We tryed to design them for you to be able to deccorate your house  or fire place with them. We focused on safety as well so we made our roasting sticks 32“ long and we give rubber tips covers on each sharp point (this is the only one plastic thing used).

Our intention is simple – to give you the best, nice and reliable hot dog roasting sticks as possible. We believe in our uniqueness and great quatily so we provide life-time quarantee.

 Summary of parameters:
