Steak Charmer

Leslie Haywood, a stay-at-home-mom from Charleston, S.C., has single-handedly taken away the only thing that men have to themselves: charring animal flesh over a grill. When her husband put a spicy piece of grilled chicken on her plate instead of a mild one, she said, “Honey, you’re doing this wrong.”

Who says emasculating your spouse can’t spawn innovation?

Haywood created Grill Charms. Similar in concept to the wine charm, these dime-sized solid stainless steel charms are placed in your food before grilling. The serrated stems hold securely to the meat while grilling, moving and flipping. You can distinguish spices, flavors, steak temperatures and avoid health or allergy issues. When food comes off the grill everyone knows which one is theirs. CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch has featured Grill Charms four times. Haywood also has appeared on Deutsch’s Minute to Millions segment.
