The MIA Grill
Ok. This thing looks crazy. It sits on top of your stove or goes in the oven and has two modes--grilling and poultry.
Grilling Mode: The multi-chambered base in conjunction with the grease catching base lid allows the mixing of delicate flavors never before combined. Meats, seafood and vegetables of all varieties can now be prepared well done and never dry out. Smoked foods remain moist.
Poultry Mode:The stainless vented flavor tube reaches all the way up the cavity of the turkey, chicken or duck providing even distribution of the delicate flavors being introduced. The poultry is grilled from the inside out, resulting in grilled flavors on the inside and a reduction in cooking time!

Aerogarden Seed Kits
The AeroGarden has turned out to be a very popular item. Now there are many seeds available for the AeroGarden.
The AeroGarden Seed Kits feature the "Plug 'N Grow" Bio-dome Seed System. Each pod has a dome that creates a perfect, mini-greenhouse environment for young seedlings. The pod label helps optimize humidity for germination and identifies your plants. Inside is the pre-seeded grow sponge which balances the amount of water and air the young seedling receives. Each Seed Pod's placement in the AeroGarden is mapped inside the box. Each kit has its own nutrient tablets bagged and clearly marked for use in the correct order. These time-release, nutrient tablets contain everything: all the micro and macro nutrients each plant needs, plus seaweed and a patented secret ingredient that keeps the pH (acidity) of your tap water in the perfect range for growing plants.
