How do you grill bacon and hamburgers on the cast iron grill

Unfortunately I have never as yet grilled bacon and hamburgers on the cast iron grill. I would imagine with the grill lightly oiled the bacon and hamburgers would cook just fine. Cook on high first and then lower the temperatures and keep turning them so they don't stick.

You cook them like you normally would. Be sure you have the grease cup on the side. Start at 425 and lower to around 200 and they will cook . You might want to put a little PAM on it first

For hamburgers I like to set it to sear. For bacon I usually use the microwave but if I used the Nuwave I would set it low.

Donald, I run a group for this grill, and one of my friends has done bacon, and it works perfectly!!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/JimMarMicro/

Before I use them each time, I just close the lid, crank the heat up and let them get good and hot. Then I hit them with the wire grill brush.

Nancy It is very easy the grills are teflon coated along with the drip tray that is easily removed. I just use warm soapy water and a scrubbing sponge

just put wood chips directly on the supplied square steel plate and place that directly on the heating element; cook on high with steak on grill above drip pan; use meat thermometer and do not overcooklarger pieces of meat work better

I have never used it on charcoal but if you like Freedy hambugers get your charcoal close to grill and you will get a good crust on burger and cooks real fast

I will generously rub vegetable oil over the entire grate while hot every time it looks dry. I would suggest doing this before you use it for the first time. This keeps the grates conditioned and rust free. If you do this to any cast iron cooking surface it is very easy to clean. I use a cheap Dollar General grill brush. Works great. This grill is a little pricey for the size but I love it and I think you will too. Hope this helps.

There is no way to coat them that I can think of. All I can suggest is after your done cooking your burgers is turn up the heat a bit and let the accumulated drippings burn off. Then when you light it the next time , preheat the grill and use the grate lifter to lift up the grate, lay it to the side on another grate and use your grill brush to clean the char of the heat shields. I know its a bit of extra work but its the best and only real solution I have come up with so far. If anything else comes to mind I will pass it on.

Cast iron is great. A patina builds and the heat is even so that I can do three grilled cheese sandwiches at a time. The holes are for hands to get a less hot section of the iron. There is a ridge around the ironso that the grease does not flow over the edge. It is heavy and works well.

Bacon comes out perfect in Rocket Grill. I cut standard strips in half..get 5 or 6 in a pouch. Three minutes on frozen setting. Then I pour the bacon grease from the pouch into a skillet and cook my eggs...yeah, I'm a Southerner.

After you cook, rinse and scrub till all food particles are gone, then apply a light coating of crisco or bacon drippings which I prefer. Then place on stove top on medium heat for 4-5 minutes to set the seasoning and insure all moisture is gone. Then store with a folded paper towel between other cast iron pans. The more you use it, the slicker the surface will get. You can use a bit of soap occasionally, but then for sure you must apply the Crisco or bacon drippings to seal the surface to prevent rust.

Soak plank. Put fish/meat on plank. Put plank on grill. Try not to ignite/ burn the plank. That's it.

We cook frozen hamburger patties and chicken breasts on it all the time. You just have to make sure that the patties are situated so they are sitting on the heating element. As with other electric griddles, the surface doesn't heat evenly so you have to make use of the hot spots. I have also cooked thin cut ribeye steaks and carne asada meat on it before, but as John mentioned I would recommend using a skillet for thick steaks.

The grill is the only place I've used it & it works great! The cast iron provides excellent even heating. I make sliders in frequently. Placing sauteed onions on the bottom, plus whatever grease generated by the burgers insures easy removal.

I have an 11 year old weber genesis with cast iron grates. The newer weber cast iron grates are coated, my 11yr old grates are not. I live in Columbus OH also and there is no rust. The trick is to treat the grates with oil when new. Each time you cook a greasy hamburger the fat will remain behind when you are done. Be careful not to use too high of a heat or you will burn this "seasoning" off of the grates. You can always take your favorite spray oil and lightly coat the grates when done cooking and they should last for a long time. I like to use a butter-garlic oil on the grates if I am going to cook chicken. When the chicken is done cooking there is still enough residue on the grates to prevent rusting.
