R&D: Making of the Fish Tray

October 13, 2021 By Morgan

Flameware fish tray with grill basket

Customers have been asking for a long, narrow, Flameware tray for fish. We set out to create it.

Initially, we wanted to add holes to the tray, similar to the Grill Basket, to allow the juices to drain off. But after consulting with our “fisher folk” we landed on a no-hole option.

Then came the handle design. We wanted something similar to our other Flameware Line, but nothing too large or bulky. We also tried no handle, but it made it harder to pick the tray up off the grill.

Once we had a good idea of the design, we sent it home with of a few of our customers to test it out. The results were in! They loved it. No holes, add a handle, and it was fantastic.

One of our favorite regulars, Kristin, traveled to her aunt’s outfitters, Kenai River Cabins in Soldotna Alaska, and caught the beautiful salmon you see in the photo above. Now we have a new travel destination!

We’ve been product testing this new tray out for the last few weeks and the fish comes out great every time. We also like that you can add a sauce, like a brown butter or coconut curry and it wont dry out.

Stay tuned for more fish tails (tales) from the Coyotes!

Studio Notes: Making of the new Flameware Cooking & Pizza Stone

October 14, 2020 By Morgan

A lot of R&D goes into all the Clay Coyote pottery. Our Flameware Chef’s Line has more than two decades of home cooking research behind it. So when we add a new piece to the line, we have to do our homework.

  • First, we make a prototype.
  • Then, we take the prototype home and test it out. It went home with the Coyotes … everyone trying out different types of grills, ovens, broilers, and recipes. One of the requirements to work here is a love of cooking, food, and culinary exploration (side note, you also have to love guacamole, it’s literally in our job requirements).
  • After, we get back into the studio and make any tweaks to the design. For example, our original prototype had a triangle on the front similar to our grill basket, but we decided to go with a pulled handle lip instead to fit on more grill surfaces.
  • During the whole process we have a lot, A LOT, of friendly discussions about the best and worst pizza toppings (see pizza topping list).
  • Then we make a bunch and they’re ready for you!
