"Human Lab: Grilling Gadgets"

Aired on: August 16, 2011, May 4, 2011

It's a beefed up "Human Lab" when three NFL stars are testing grilling gadgets perfect for summer!

Benjamin Watson, Tight End for the Cleveland Browns
This veteran has two Super Bowls under his belt, but one competitor still remains to be tackled: the grill. "The hardest thing about grilling for me is controlling the heat," Benjamin says. "I have a gas grill, but even when you put it on the lowest setting sometimes it heats up pretty fast, and if you're not paying attention, you come back and you've got a hibachi in there!" Benjamin tries the Brookstone Grill Alert Talking Remote Heat Thermometer, which claims that its remote activated voice alerts will take all the guess work out of grilling.

Victor Cruz, Wide Receiver for the New York Giants
In the off-season, Victor loves to relax by the grill and "keep the people fed." But, cleaning the grill afterwards is anything but relaxing. "It just gets really, really tedious," Victor says. "I'd love to try something that will clean the grill easier and faster." Victor tries the Grill Daddy Pro, which claims to leave your grill spotless and sanitary in minutes using the power of water.

James Ihedigbo, Safety for the New York Jets
James enjoys having friends over and cooking up some good eats for them on the grill, but all that time spent manning the grill is time lost with his buddies. He says, "If there was ever something I could use to season my food, put it on the grill and not have to monitor it, so I could socialize with my guests - that would be amazing!" James tries the BBQ Magic Brimroast, a metal frame and drip dish to use on a charcoal grill which claims to roast your food evenly without checking, turning or poking.
