Yes, just right for 2 medium size foods (burgers, chicken breast, fish) or one large piece

No it isn't big enough to do a whole chicken. You could steam a cut up chicken but I have not tried it for meat. I use a slow cooker for that.

I haven't tried it, but I would think that if you cut the meat into bite size pieces it could work. It is very powerful!

It's all-purpose as long as you use liquids to cook with. I wouldn't use it for sauteing, a donate might crack.

I think so. I've used it to debone and skin raw chicken and its construction seems to pay off just fine for that. The edge holds good, and I use it just as often to cut the meat as to chop, hell, I often use it in lieu of a chef's knife. Hope that helps!

I would guess you can, though I have not tried it. Only use mine for pizza.My suggestion would be to check with the manufacturer - they have a pretty good website.

Yes it can. I actually use it to cook pork chops and steaks more than pizza. The meats sears so fast it is very juicy. Enjoy!

I only use it for fries and re-heating pizza. Works great for that. I would not use for meatloaf, maybe the steak as long as you have foil under it for all the drippings so you don't cause a fire in the stove. For Meatloaf-stick to a loaf pan.

I haven't tried either since I mainly got it for chopping onion and nuts. But, I would think it would be too small for meat...unless you only put in about 1/4 cup at a time. Then I think it would

I don't know. I would say it could be but I'm not sure about it. I do know we have been so pleased with this and have used it for multiple things. It makes incredible steaks and other types of meat without so much fat. We had one of his cookware sets before and this was a nice addition to the set.

I've used it to broil steaks, so hotdogs and hamburgers should work. We use ours for everything from baking cookies to cooking main courses.

Absolutely. It works well for stir-fry, curries and many other types of foods.

I suppose you could but wouldn't be best suited for that purpose. I wouldn't. It is more of a devise to cook meats. I don't eat much beef but basically use it for chicken breasts; pork chops, salmon and fish. It does great. I haven't had a stove hooked up for 3 years. I have a toaster oven, microwave, nuwave pic and the nuwave mini. It does it for me as a single person who lives alone. It is really a cooker; not like a toaster oven so wouldn't make toast in it.

It may be possible, but would probably take a lot of time to cook bacon and steak. The heat does not go up very high and of course it is marketed as a sandwich maker, so I would be worried about the speed at which it could cook anything else thoroughly.

I gave this requested gift as a wedding present. Didn't study it very hard. I don't think it had a serrated edge, so I don't think it would do raw beef or similar meats. I've used one very similar on chicken tenders , though I usually use scissors on small raw meats like that.

I think it's mainly for cheese, fruit and vegetables. Haven't tried it on meat but would imagine it's like any other serrated blade, just hope the meat doesn't get stuck in the holes.....

I don't see why not. It is like a cast iron frying pan. One of my friends cooks his steak from start to finish on it. He does it on the BBQ mind you.
