Although this grill is designed to grill Yakatori chicken skewers, can it be used to grill beef steak or kababs so it is also juicy and good?

I have used it a couple of days ago to cook some sliced beef. It came out good.

I have cooked chicken and steaks on it. They were fine just have to watch temp as there is not a lot of space between the grill and heat source

It hink this electric grill is pretty good for grilling veggie. I tried grilling onions and corn. It seems to work fine

On the cooked steak it is best. Probably would work as a marinade too but not as spectacular. You will lose the freshness of the flavors methinks

We use it for grilling shrimp, scewers etc... Sterno taste was there but we changed over to 4 charchol brickettes and that works well too.

You can use this pan to grill just about anything. And veggies grill very nicely. I use mine to grill the peppers and onions when we make fajitas. It's best to use a little higher heat to get those good grill marks.

Yes, my wife uses it to cook beef, chicken, and fish. This baby cooker is quite awesome.

You can literally cook anything on it and grill sandwiches just leave it on a little longer if it's thicker I make steaks ,chicken cutlets I love it!

The food actually tastes grilled with a good hint of char. If you want full-blown charbroiled, try a yakitori grill. They have them on Amazon. The ones that last are expensive though. My wife has been using this for over a year and enjoys grilling on it. She just used it a few nights ago and still loves it. I noticed she is sensible in using the grill, always being mindful of the instructions. I enjoy watching her grill skewers and steak. The food always turns out great with no left overs... especially when she cooks with BBQ sauce. She uses it for steaks, shrimp, vegetables, anything on skewers, chicken and pork chops...

For both... You can sear with the grill on a higher position or you can use pots and pans or skillets on the lower setting of the side burner grill...I personally have used it for both and it is great!! I like to fry my chicken wings outside as to not let my entire house smell like the oil and I also sear my steaks on the side infrared burner

It makes an edible 1 inch steak, which is much more than I can say about those contact type indoor grills. It will not make a great medium rare steak though as it will be cooked before the outside is fully browned.

Definitely! We actually have 2 of these grills. One at our home and one at our cabin. This grill gets used much more than our gas or charcoal grills. In addition - we had company a week or so ago and they thought I was crazy to use this grill for BBQ Chicken - then they raved about how it turned out on that grill and asked me where I got it. Kim S

John,I've had the portable kitchen for over a year and love it. Steaks, chicken breast or burgers all cook up great. I've been getting my butcher to cut steak sized center cut pork chops. They are as good as ribeye steaks, it takes a little soaking in a brine solution, but the PK gives them a flavor that's beyond your imagination. I haven't tried a rack of ribs, but I think the PK will cook most anything, that's why it's called the Portable Kitchen. I bought the PK to replace a similar aluminum cooker that was 35 years old.

The grill is great. Chicken, pork, steak, sausages, burgers get crusty on top, juicy in the middle. I don't use a lid. I cook under the exhaust hood in my kitchen. Clean up is easy. Very little fat splatter away from the grill.

I suppose that it can be used as a grill, though I have a foreman grill and it leaches the grease into a container that the raclette does not have. I bought this for entertaining for my son and his wife and daughter and her husband for Christmas, and , to my knowledge they have not used them yet. Sooo maybe it was not the wisest gift for them. I thought it reminiscent of the old fondue parties where people sat around and talked and relaxed while the meal was cooking then they chose what they wanted in the way of side or dips, with these, I think you grill your meat above then cook it with cheese and rice and veggies etc individually adding condiments and etc.

This grill does cook very hot, which makes it an excellent choice for steaks. I have found if you like to cook over indirect heat or low flame, you must turn the gas valve off and rely on the preheat. This has not been a problem, as it re-lights very easily.

I would say that it does a great hamburger & hot dog. It may take a little longer to cook them but the flavor is great. As far as the steak goes, you will have a hard time charring or searing it cause the grill just can't get that hot. The flavor is awesome though. You can buy some special charring grates from REC TEC. I am thinking of trying them at some point. I use this unit for all of my grilling. It takes a little longer to cook everything but let me tell you it is worth every second to get the smokey wood flavor.

I agree with all the above comments. Its a learning process versus other BBQ but it is worth spending time learning how to make it work . I have been using mine for over a year and it keeps surprising me as wooooo this is good bbq. Easiest is steaks and hardest to do is chicken but once you get the wood/air/fan speed level combination the concept is amazing. I quit using my other barbecues. That's how good this is. (for example 2 faux filet Costco quality is about 10min of use from the start of the BBQ using 1 or 2 pcs of wood)
