From now until June 18, interested applicants need to submit a photo of their biggest #GrillFail and the story behind it by emailing rookiegriller@reynoldswrap.com. Never grilled in your life and don’t have the photo proof yet? Send us a picture of your most grill-timidated pose! Each submission must include:

• Age, city, and state of applicant (Must be 18+ and live in the U.S.)
• Photo of your #GrillFail or your most grill-timidated pose (tongs optional)
• The story behind your grill fail and why you deserve the coveted title of Reynolds Rookie Griller

Rookie Griller candidates will be evaluated by a qualified judge who recognizes the potential in even the biggest beginners or self-deemed #GrillFails. Our Reynolds Rookie Griller will be judged on their level of grill-timidation, determination, and creativity. Once selected, the Rookie Griller will sharpen their grill skills in a one-on-one virtual grilling lesson with renowned grill master Steven Raichlen. The winner will also document their journey to grilling greatness in a post on Reynolds Brands.com and Reynolds social media channels.

“It’s officially grilling season, and Reynolds Wrap® is here to help grillers of all skill levels master a delicious meal,” said Danielle Chandler, Vice President of Marketing, Reynolds Brands. “Grilling can be a bit unnerving for newbies and we’re looking for a true rookie to grow their grilling confidence this summer.”

Reynolds Kitchens®, makers of trusted household products like Reynolds Kitchens® Parchment Paper with SmartGrid® and Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liners, is excited to announce the nationwide launch of new Reynolds Kitchens® Pink Butcher Paper with Slide Cutter!

Created with both seasoned pitmasters and everyday meat smoking enthusiasts in mind, Reynolds Kitchens® Pink Butcher Paper is a high-quality, FDA-compliant butcher paper that protects the crisp bark that all meat smoking enthusiasts work hard to achieve, while sealing in moisture for tender, juicy smoked meats.

Unbleached and unwaxed, Reynolds Kitchens Pink Butcher Paper is designed for cooking low and slow. This 40- lb. strong butcher paper is resistant to leaks and tears. It’s also great for serving smoked feasts on, just like barbecue restaurants.

“Reynolds Kitchens® is dedicated to finding better solutions for all types of cooking, both indoors and outdoors,” said Danielle Chandler, vice president of marketing for Reynolds Consumer Products. “We know smoking meat is a passion for many. We wanted to create a signature tool that makes the overall experience of smoking delicious meats easier.”

Reynolds Kitchens® Butcher Paper is now available at select Walmart locations and in select grocery stores for an SRP of $9.99 per 75 sq. ft box and online at Amazon and Samsclub.com for an SRP of $24.99 per 225 sq. ft box.

Lake Forest, Ill. – November 11, 2020 – From the Mac & Cheese Turkey to the infamous Glitter Turkey, Reynolds has redefined the Thanksgiving turkey year after year. And with 2020 being an unusual year, there’s no better time to make things sweet this holiday and eat dessert first.

With many people finding solace in the kitchen by baking, Reynolds Wrap® is turning beloved dessert favorites into three new savory turkeys. Reynolds Wrap® is proud to announce the newest additions to our Thanksgiving tradition:

• Reynolds Wrap® Pecan Pie Turkey brings the classic holiday pie to your turkey. Coated in a brown sugar glaze, the turkey is cooked using Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil then topped with candied pecans and dressed with mashed sweet potatoes. 
• Reynolds Wrap® Chocolate Turkey is the ultimate chocolate lovers’ dream. Made with a chocolate-based BBQ glaze that’s sweet and savory and dressed with fresh fruit and chocolate shavings, Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil was the perfect option so the turkey doesn’t stick to the pan and cleanup is a breeze.
• Reynolds Wrap® Gingerbread Turkey is a holiday staple turned savory. Featuring a molasses glaze topped with a ginger spiced dry rub and gingerbread men-inspired mashed potato piping, we recommend using Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil so all the sweet juices stay inside to cook the turkey to perfection.
