Has anyone who owns this tried grilling steaks, chicken breast or fish yet on this?

I don't think it is really designed for that. Picture it as a big flat pan with no side walls. We also have the one with the ridges that is designed for grilling. It works well.

I haven't, because I'm somewhat of a vegetarian, but everything I've tried on it works well.

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)

I purchased as the adjustable grill was good fir cooking chicken. Dies an excellent job but the grease tray us horrible. Parts to replace thus grill is another issue. If you have purchase, good luck if not save yourself a huge headache.

It works great on an electric stove. I have one and love it. Matter of fact, I like it so well I bought one for my daughter for Christmas. It works great with steaks, burgers and sliced veggies. Haven't tried shrimp or chicken yet, but I'm sure it will be good, too. You can sear the outside while the inside of the meat stays pink.

I use it to cook all the time if I'm just cooking for two. You can adjust the temperature if full blast is too hot. Steaks, tuna and pork chops all do very well just on the infrared burner. For thicker meats, like chicken or a very thick steak, I'll use the regular grill, too. Last night I cooked two ribeyes medium rare in about six minutes on the side burner. Warm up is quick, too, two minutes or less. I'm saving gas like crazy.

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...

I bought this grill for our Arizona property last fall, have not had any problems. As a matter of fact, I am so impressed with the grill I just purchased a second one for our house in Colorado.

Absolutely! I cook thick steaks on this grill a couple times. a week; they consistently come out perfectly. Chicken is great, too. Everything I've ever cooked on the grill has been superior.

I have not tried steaks as yet. Still getting use to how it cooks. It cooks hamburgers differently than what I expected. It is like anything else new, one has to get use to it. I do not see why it wouldn't do the job on steaks.

Haven't tried broiling a steak, but it broiled shrimp quite well. You have to remember to leave the door ajar (there's a handy built-in detent for that purpose) to get a proper broiling action, same as you would with a full-size oven.

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.

This is by far the best portable grill I have ever had. It gets hot enough to cook steaks well. The cast iron cook surface is awesome. It holds heat really well so you can get a nice seer on the meat or whatever. Leaves nice grill marks. Really like that stuff cannot fall down inside the thing easily, unlike grills with a wire grate. Thermometer is nice too and the adjustability actually works.

Not yet, but I'll need to give it a try. I've made it on tinfoil and it worked. I'm believing the Grill Mat will do much better.

I have purchased wood boards from home depot (specifically for smoking food) and cooked fish and chicken on them and they do a great job. I LOVE this grill BTW and I am on may second year with it.

Yes, absolutely. It handles high temps quite well so that chicken and chops will get good sear marks, if that is your intention. Otherwise, the grill cooks at all other temps too. I read that it defrosts foods at an alarming fast time--with food safety in mind--and I find that to be true. Since the non stick surface has worn on mine, I use it more for defrosting than anything else.
