Have you used this to grill hamburgers?

It would work well for frying hamburgers but it is not a grill. To have the effect of a grill you would need to purchase a grill. That said I love it.

Yes, I use 1/3 pound per-formed patties from Costco. Cooking between 360-400 four to five minutes per side. It works well for a single patty to as many as will fit on the grill.

I would say that it does a great hamburger & hot dog. It may take a little longer to cook them but the flavor is great. As far as the steak goes, you will have a hard time charring or searing it cause the grill just can't get that hot. The flavor is awesome though. You can buy some special charring grates from REC TEC. I am thinking of trying them at some point. I use this unit for all of my grilling. It takes a little longer to cook everything but let me tell you it is worth every second to get the smokey wood flavor.

Yes you can. I've used the grill for burgers, bratwurst, hot dogs, etc.. Works great and holds up to heat. Obviously it'll rust after the paint burns off, but a little WD-40 now and then allows the "hinging" to work again. (the WD-40 burns off, of course). A great grill for cooking on.

Have not tried, sorry. However, they work very well for direct or indirect grilling.

Not really. It doesn't get hot enough I've noticed to give a good sear on food thus lacking in some flavor and obviously texture. Works well for veggies and burgers and fish but steaks are the weak point for our use.

Hi Lisa.I must admit I have never used it as a grill but mine gets hotenough that I'm sure it would work. Try turning it up to thehighest setting, then grilling.

Haven't tried that one, but I would bet you can. Cooked alot of stuff on a similar model when in college, just never did grilled cheese!

I imagine you can do such with the roasting pan and the device set on 'broil'. But I prefer to use one of those small, portable Weber propane grills: Weber 1520 Propane Gas Go-Anywhere Grill. It's superb for burgers and brauts and any other similar activity. But, it's definitely an out-door thing. If you can't do outdoor, then I guess you're sort of stuck with this device. Or one of those electric grill things...which I've no experience with, as I can do outdoors.

This is a drip pan and that's what I use it for. You should invest in a basket for grilling. They are not that expensive.

I have not used this on my grill. I only use it on my stainless steel appliances and love it for that.

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 make one large hamburger in it. The heat is great and it does a good job. Two steaks.....well I do think its a bit small for that.I have a larger counter top grill that I use for more then one item.

Yes you can, it is a great product. I love it. this grill is very good for chicken, meat and fish. it worth it to spend the money on it. It is a good investment.

Not really -- just put all the coals in one section of the grill. You'd probably want to do this even when cooking for a larger group -- make a banked fire. You can do your grilling directly over the coals in order to get a good char on steaks and burgers, and use the side away from the coals for cooking at a lower temperature (for thick cuts) and furthest away as a warming area until serving.

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.
