Can this be used on hamburgers, or just on thicker cuts of meat?

I haven't used it on hamburgers yet, but I've used it on chicken breasts (not too thick ones even) I've used it on things in the oven. It measures the temp quickly! Much faster than my expensive Pamp. Chef pocket thermometer. Makes it nice for the oven, because you're not standing there forever with the oven door open! But, be aware that the suggested and pre-set temps are way too high. So I just use the manual temp read.

This can easily be used on hamburgers.I've even used it on chicken wings, and it worked just great

I don't use it for cheese. I chop meat for hamburger which it does moderately well except for leaving some big chunks which then need to be picked out and re-processed.

You can make the hamburgers any thickness you want. This set reminded me of a Tupperware set my Mom had years ago. I love it.

No, not really. Meat requires a very sharp blade and although the blades in the machine are sharp, they're not that sharp. It works great for making ground beef with the cutting mixing blade, but for those deli slices, you are better off with a machine made for the job. Just search Amazon for "deli slicer" or "meat slicer."

I have no used it for steak, but have for bratwursts ( about 1" +) Worked good. I generally use it for sausages, bacon and boneless chicken breasts. I love it for my uses

I have only used it with traditional style. What I do is keep the meat frozen a little so it will slice thin.

I've only cut the top off of a coke can. I needed something to put the ground beef grease in. So I thought, ok I'll try it. I had used that knife to slice and cut food after that with ease. I haven't tried cutting into heavy metals or drywall yet... They were also handy when we carved pumpkins.

I don't know I only used it for meat. It worked very well for me. I gave it to my sister and now she uses it.

Dear Lillian, as with all metals, Brillo will scratch the surface. I would recommend using one of the fabric type scrubbers, not Scotch Brite. I found that when browning hamburger, if you use a wooden or plastic spatula and keep the meat moving, it doesn't stick or burn on. Since you can control the temperature on your induction heater, and the heat seems to be very uniform, you should find less carbon type burning. Best Wishes

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~

Yes it can. It has an extra long probe that makes it great to use on thick foods

Definately NO. This is like using pure salt on anything you put it on. If you use it then use it sparingly and do NOT add any salt to the meat at all.Personally I do not think it works that well. It will work to a point if you tenderize the meat with a meat tenderizer, (The kind that looks like a hammer or one that has many points on it )

We have used this machine to "cube" cuts of steaks. We run the meat through a second time, which makes it even more tender. I expect you could do stew meat with it. It may work with smaller pieces of meat. Might be worth a try.'

Cooking meat is one of the best features of this grill. It works best on servings of uniform thickness that hold the cooking surfaces fairly parallel, like fish filets, hamburgers, steaks, sliced vegitables. This will insure even cooking. It will still do a good job with uneven items like whole chicken breasts that taper in thickness. When the thick part is done the thin part will be over-cooked. That can be overcome by overlapping the thin ends of two chicken breasts to equal the thick parts. Don't even think about turkey legs! Here is a special caution I learned from the smallest George Foreman grills. Do not use no-stick spray. The non-stick surface will deteriorate faster. If you have to butter up the grill, use a brush and simple cooking oil. This applies to all Teflon surfaces, but those with the thinnest Teflon coating go first. Keep the grease capture cup in place, and don't try to cover the whole cooking surface: The splatter from the meats on the edges of the grills will spray out on your counter top. I place the grill on a thin sheet of plastic sold as a cutting board (!?!) And remember: this grill has no off switch, and the rheostat is lousy. I rolled out and cooked a thin sheet of hamburger meat to find the cold parts of the grills.

No, this knife is difficult to operate easily. I would try a different brand that specifically states its use on thick rind foods. Best wishes. Angelica

I used it for strips and rib eyes. I loved it. Bought one for both my sister and nephew. It leaves grill marks and I thought steaks had great taste.

We mostly use it in steak and chicken as you would ketchup after you cook it for added flavor.Peter Luger's, the restaurant has a dish consisting of large sweet thickly sliced onions with thick big tomatoes also largely sliced, arranged in alternating onion and tomatoes and then they pour the sauce over it - it's fabulous!I also use it as an ingredient in hamburgers and meatloaf.I've never used it as a marinade.
