I just used my jalapeno cooker for the first time and it was awesome! The corer tool was very easy to use and cleaned the 36 jalapenos quickly and thoroughly. Much faster than my previous method of halving the peppers lengthwise and cleaning with a knife. The cooker is plenty sturdy for 36 cheese-stuffed jalapenos.
Once I cleaned the jalapenos and set them in the cooker, I melted over low heat equal parts cream cheese and whatever other cheese I happened to have around. This time it was mostly Gruyere with some scraps of Manchego and Parmesan. I fried and chopped 4 pieces of turkey bacon and added to the melted cheese. Spooned the cheese into a quart-size plastic bag, clipped the corner and squeezed the cheese into my waiting jalapeno receptacles. I needed about 2 cups to fill all of my peppers. The extra got squirted onto some crackers and was eaten before it ever had a chance to cool down. Then the cooker went into my smoker at 250F for about 30 minutes. The results were fabulous! Soft smokey peppers with melty cheesy goodness awaiting inside with a bit of bacon added for good measure! The wise grill master nabs one or two for himself before setting these out for his guests, they will not (did not) last long.
One reviewer mentioned that the holes are a bit too small for large peppers, I disagree. The peppers that appeared to fit perfectly in the holes prior to cooking fell through the holes when the cooker was picked up after cooking due to the softening of the peppers. However, the bigger peppers that seemed to barely fit pre-cook, were now sitting nicely in their holes.
A few minor gripes:
1. The cookers 36 holes are arranged in a square which means it takes up a lot of prime real estate in my smoker (Traeger Lil Tex). I really like the capacity to make 36 jalapenos at once, but it would be much easier to fit this cooker in amongst my smoking meat if it were 4x9 or 3x12
2. There is no good way to pick this cooker up from the hot grill one-handed. I needed two hands and two hot pads which meant I couldn't just lift up the door to my smoker halfway and snatch the cooker out. I had to open the door all the way so it would stay open, pull the cooker out, and set it down somewhere so I could go back and close my smoker door.
This cooker/corer tool made it really easy and convenient to make a great appetizer and at less than half the price of other similar devices. I highly recommend it!

For the price this is a solid piece of stainless steel. Of course the edges are a tad sharp. The corer included with the grill works like a charm. The manufacturers of all of these pepper grills mean well but they just don't have a clue as to what the farmers have been up to. You go to the market for jalapenos to stuff and of course you pick the plumpest monsters available. Just as the girth of the average American has increased, so are the jalapenos keeping up! Hurray for big, juicy jalapenos. Someone, please tell the grill manufacturers to stop using those little pickled jalapenos from the jar as their prototype. If you buy this grill just be sure to search for wimpy jalapenos which kind of defeats the purpose of stuffing them.

The King Kooker 36JR stainless-36-Hole Jalapeno rack with corer is the best
kitchen tool I have purchased in a long time. I bought a 2nd for my sister, and her family loves it too. It fits in my toaster oven as well as on the grill.

The holes are smaller than what I expected, you will have trouble fitting larger sized peppers. Otherwise a good purchase.

Worked great!
I just used this rack on my Weber Jumbo Joe this past weekend and the poppers came out great. Get a few different size peppers to gauge for the future which ones will work best. Read more

Great product.
Used this last weekend for a party and the jalapenos came out great. The bigger jalapenos sit a little high but when the rack is full they hold each other in place. Read more

When you put it on the grill and it starts to heat up the kooker tilts so after the first use it just doesn't cook right
