Cameron Cookware Stainless Steel Stovetop Smoker

I'm sure this item is all that buyer's have reported in the many positive reviews. However, please be aware that the Cameron Manufacturing (USA based company) description does not mention that this item is actually manufactured in China, using metals from that country. I only noticed this when I saw the small sticker on the bottom of the pan when unwrapping it. As is well known, and now reported on a daily basis in our consumer news, there seems to be little to no regulation on USA imports from China, especially where metals/alloys are concerned; ie: millions of China made lead toys and milk products recently recalled, etc.. During the recent Olympics, I watched an alarming documentary showing where China is knowingly using melted lead in place of stainless steel and other approved metals, for many USA bound products. The health risks were horrifyingly made evident in that documentary. Therefore, I really did not feel comfortable in using this product with my family and so I returned it for the USA made Nordicware stovetop smoker. Sorry to be a spoil-sport but thought I should note this finding for those who may be concerned regarding this issue, so they will know BEFORE purchasing. In fairness to the company, and based on all the positive reviews I have read, I did give a 3 star rating. However, I have not personally used this item and the 3 stars are only representative of my disappointment for the lack of full disclosure regarding 'made in China'. I would have preferred to leave a neutral 'zero star' rating but that is not an option for reviews.

I have enjoyed the wonderful smoke-flavored meals you can make in this neat pan. Tonight, we had smoked vegetables and served them over rice. Delicious!

I read about this smoker and wanted it for easy smoking when I don't want to use my BIG smoker. I ahve found ti easy to use. I have only smoked fish so far, but the flavor has been real good. It does smoke some and I am still working to tweak it lid to minimize the smoke that escapes. However, I kind of like the smokey scent that lingers and my vent takes most of the smoke out

Overall, it's and good product that is very easy to use.

Just inaugurated my new stove top smoker and we loved it. My wife was concerned about the smell of smoke in the house, but a kitchen exhaust fan took care of any smoke that leaked out of the pan. I've smoked outside for years, but I wanted something quick and easy. I saw it being used on BBQU and turned right around and ordered it.

I tried this smoker for the first time and it worked beautifully. I smoked salmon and used the recommended amount of alder chips. The salmon was moist and flavorful. I cooked a few minutes in the oven to brown and the texture was still good.

I have a glasstop range but I do not have a bridge burner. I didn't want to risk cracking it so, I put the smoker on my electric grill. I did have to smoke an additional 20 minutes; the book says to smoke 25 minutes. All in all, it took 45 minutes; next time I will adjust the heat.
