FAQ's

What meals are recommended for the Angler?

These meats are typically used to prepare foods such as Sloppy Joes, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, lasagna, chili, beef stroganoff, hamburgers, omelets, Alfredo sauce, spaghetti sauce, etc. The device works particularly well in preparing ground beef for the many commercially available packaged dinner products such as Hamburger Helper. It can also reduce the oil content of vegetarian dishes prepared on stovetops.

Does the Angler work with standard stovetops?
Yes, the Angler works with all standard gas, electric and radiant range stovetops.

Does the Angler work with standard frying pans?

Are frying pans stable and safe on the Angler?
Yes, the frying pan slides down into a valley on the Angler’s base and is firmly held in place by two restraining tabs attached to the ring. Note further that the Angler’s ring contacts the entire outside perimeter of the pan bottom to help ensure stability, even if the pan bottom is warped (since a warped pan will wobble on a flat surface).

Does food cook evenly using the Angler?
Yes, testing has shown the Angler cooks food evenly when using the recommended size frying pans. The Angler’s ring helps provide even heating by acting as a chimney to direct heat against the bottom of the pan..

How does using the Angler compare to diet and exercise programs?
The Angler provides a simple means for weight loss, since it easily lowers the caloric content of standard meals. In contrast, most diet and exercise programs require special foods and/or a change in lifestyle.
