Can I cook gravy in it or will it flow out of the grease channel?

It will go into the grease channel, but it's just an indentation from the bottom so when you tip the pan to pour, it all goes back.

Grease or gravy does not flow out of the frypan. It is merely a deep 1/2 inch channel that you can push the grease into while you are cooking. You have to tip the frypan over to empty the grease channel. So you would have no difficulty cooking gravy.

You can cook gravy. The grease channel is just a little dip along one side of the grill where liquid can pool. I used mine to make a pot roast, a big pan of scrambled eggs, etc.

No, I wouldn't recommend doing that. It has open sides & won't cook it all the way through. It also doesn't have a grease trap or anywhere for excess juices to drip. We only use it for sandwiches, wraps, burritos, etc. I would not use it to cook raw meat at all. Hope this was helpful!

yes it cooks it out of the grease, I will tell you though I love the pan, the only thing that is a little annoying is I use ground beef which has more fat, my sides of the meatloaf sometimes stick. I have remedy though, I spray the pan and insert with non stick cooking spray. It is much better now. My husband said this pan has brought him back to eating meatloaf.

I have never tried making gravy in the skillet but I don't see why not. Just be sure when stirring to use something that will not scratch it.

Handles fine. The underside of the grill is on a slight slope so it works it's way slowly to the chute. I haven't had any issues with excessive grease. Some drips into the chute and burns off, the rest I just cleaned up. The grill comes apart pretty easy for cleaning.

It would probably hold the grease for one pan full of bacon, but then you would need to dump it before cooking up more bacon.

..check on how level your griddle is..sounds like it's flowing away from the side grease spout is on..if you get it exactly level, you can just scrape it towards the drain..have it just slightly forward..

I have not tried to cook meat in it yet. I imagine the grease will drip out the sides into the fire, it`s gotta go someplace!

The grill grate is solid immediately above the burners. I have had no problems with grease entering the burners

Yes, and yes! I have used it on the stove top to make gravy as well! Very versatile pan in a perfect size and like ALL Cuisinart, it cleans in beautifully if you let it soak a little while in the sink with some hot soapy water - no scrubbing/SOS needed! And unlike Rosemarie's comment, YOU DON'T NEED A SPECIAL PAN TO MAKE GRAVY......I frequently make beer can chicken in my Cuisinart fry pan, take out of the oven and make the gravy in the same fry pan on the stove top. You can do this as well with this roaster!

Since I have the natural gas version, I put a stainless steel bucket in he place where the propane tank would be and I never put in the disposable tray. The hole where the grease drips out lines up perfectly with the bucket. The bucket also works great when I go to clean the grill. It's a great grill, gets super hot.

There is a small cup on the base of the unit for grease. The cooking surface (grill grate) and reflective pan can be removed. I would NOT recommend this grill. The grate sits directly on the coils. Think there MUST be some supports for the grill missing but just haven't had time to purse it.

Yes. You can just pour it out, just as you would with any pan. The grease drips down off the bacon into the container.

The grease is supposed to run to the back, then to the downspout in the middle of the back. It does. Once, the down-spout got clogged, and I got a small puddle there, but it was only there. I have never had problems with the grease puddling where the food is cooking. MUCH better than George Foreman's grill. Just wipe it down occasionally, especially the track along the back.

I don't know, as I have never tried that. However, the drip pan is a tiny little pan that fills up quickly with grease. If you were to put water in it, there wouldn't be any room for the grease, as there is hardly any room now. That is my main complaint with this little grill.

There Is a grease container under the drain holes. At least on my stove there is.

I think you can fry in this pan. I've mostly just cooked hamburgers in mine. Just make sure the chicken is well done in the center. The nice thing about the grill pan is that the meat doesn't lay in the oil and splatter everywhere. Good luck!!
