SAVU® SMOKER BAGS FOR OVEN OR GRILLWOWS COOK'S ILLUSTRATED CHEFS

Melanie's Fine Foods Brings SAVU Smoker Bags for Oven or Grill to Customers Nationwide

San Carlos, CA (www.bigacres.com), December, 2005 - The February 2006 issue of Cook's Illustrated Magazine, now on newsstands, includes a review of the SAVU Smoker Bag for the Oven or Grill entitled "Just Smoke and Mirrors" by Garth Clingingsmith. The Cook's Illustrated test kitchen compared the smoker bags with two stovetop smokers and was "wowed" by the SAVU Smoker Bag.

In his review, Garth states, "The one option that wowed us was the SAVU Smoker Bag, which (like our recipe) kept the smoke in the oven. This simple system . . . allowed the smoke to pass through small perforations in the foil to get to the food contained within. The ribs emerged juicy, tender, and-after a quick run under the broiler-nicely crusted." The review goes on to say that the bags "are virtually foolproof and produce well-balanced smokiness".

The SAVU Smoker Bag provides an all natural quick and simple method to cook chicken, beef, pork, fish, seafood and vegetables with Alder wood smoked flavor in the oven or on any grill. Using the SAVU Smoker Bag, an entire meal may be cooked in one bag - 6 chicken parts with vegetables smokes in just 45 minutes to perfection. Previously Melanie's Fine Foods carried only the Smoker Bag for the Grill; now customers can smoke food in their kitchen and grill all year long with the Oven or Grill version of the bag. Each patented SAVU Smoker Bag comes with instructions and several recipes.

Melanie's Fine Foods will demonstrate the Smoker Bags and Big Acres'Gourmet Sauces at the 31st Winter Fancy Food Show at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA, on January 22nd through the 24th in booth #3914.

Retailers will find this product a perfect fit for their seafood and meat counters, barbeque accessory and gourmet sauce sections and gift baskets. The bags retail for $3.49 and orders may be placed directly to Melanie's Fine Foods at or fax to 650-593-9304. Contact Melanie's Fine Foods for more information at www.bigacres.com.
