Can meat be seared on it
1162730
Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. The pan is made of aluminum and can't take a lot of heat. I'm not sure what cut of meat you want to sear, but you'll find that stainless steel pans (All-Clad), or cast iron perform better for searing. Head on over to amazing ribs dot com for some great techniques for cooking meat.

Not sure what "searing meat" is - I wouldn't brown hamburger on it, as it would spread out too much. If you mean browning it before cooking in the oven, yes, I would think you could do that.

I don't know as I've never tried it. I personally would worry about spitting grease as the sides are not as high as a skillet. But you could always try it.

As with any non-stick, you shouldn't use the cookware above a medium heat setting (e.g. 4 - 5 out of 10 on a standard range). If you can sear at those temperatures (I think that should be sufficient), then yes. Higher temperatures will cause the coating to degrade quickly. Analon is a Teflon(tm) derivative and is only good up to about 500 degrees F (info from analon's website). I agree with marilynt, though, the sides are low, so be careful of spattering.

Good question. I have never done it. It could be done but you would probably have problems with a good seasonings mix in the ground meat. The stuffing tube will definitely fit with the grinding plate and the meat would be able to fill the casing. Marinated meat might be worth trying. Dang, I see the needless murder of another wild pig in my future!

Definitely. I bake bread and cookies, roast potatoes, zucchini and eggplant. Haven't tried it with meat but can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Be aware that aluminum, like aluminum cookware, will be more difficult to clean after cooking meat in it. But the only way you can ruin it is to leave it in the oven during an oven cleaning cycle. That will melt the pan.

I have not used it yet but yes you are able to keep it in the meat as you cook.

Do you mean to flavor the meat? probably possible. I've placed fresh rosemary on the inside for that purpose. On the outside, instead of using charcoal briquettes? Probably, but you'll have to keep replacing it and possibly cook longer in order to meat on the inside fully cooked.

No, the instruction manual says, "Meats can be precooked, browned or grilled to get rid of as much fat as possible."Some of Emeril's recipes that come with the slow cooker calls for you to brown/sear meat in a skillet before putting in the slow cooker. Also things like sauteing onions and garlic before hand.

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!

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.

I imagine that you could put a small amount of raw meat in it to cook. I gave this to my husband. He only uses it at work on his desk to heat canned stew, soup or leftovers. He doesn't have the proper tools to prepare a whole recipe involving raw meat while at his workplace. The product seems to only advertise that it warms the food.

Hello Bern44, yes you can chop meat on these cutting boards. Since it's bamboo it is an Anti-microbial product and washing them is very easy just use soap and warm water. Any left overs from chopping meat is easily removed with a simple wash. Sincerely,Premium Bamboo

yes you can cook on the grill surface. the heat of the fire will kill any germs like any grill you would use. I would suggest to keep it clean after each use and season the grill with a good pan spray to keep a coating on it.

You could grill fish or steaks but not roast them. It's a very good griddle. Go for it

You could but, why would you? Bacon is best cooked on a flat even surface. Plus bacon already has grilled-smokey flavored already in the meat. Grease tray is plenty big enough to handle bacon but I would not cook bacon on a grill unless it was wrapped around another meat.

No .Keep one thing in mind, anytime that you cook any thing on the grill that contains animal fat,you get smoke.

yes. unison sear is suppose to be able to handle high heat. you can also use it on the stove top to make gravy.

Yes! I've used it as a marinade on thinly sliced beef. Use a "tougher" meat.....not one that is marbled with fat!

not really, food is not pressed down..so stays juicy and you can cook meats with bone in. However, like all inside grills..it doesn't taste like char broiled food...
