Based on the picture, I couldn't figure out how the food got its grill marks. Why doesn't the spacing & length of marks match the grill patterns?

It's called presentation. It was grilled on a real grill then placed on this grill to look appetizing and appealing. I work in this industry.

The grill marks are not on the top and middle of the stove top grill. Whatever you are grilling would fall through and ruin your burner. The sides, however can drip down, since it is a curved surface and there is a catch rim on the sides.

Probably because for the picture they want it to look more appetizing so they grill it on a different grill. Its just for appearance so that people would buy it.

Most likely that food was prepared on a different grill for better presentation. They probably weren't counting on people being quite so observant. Unless maybe it comes with a straight rack attachment.

It's really too thick to do so efficiently. It certainly won't sear. I use the metal grill for that, which also gets good grill marks.

Either your cookware does not contain iron (i.e. Cast Iron, Stainless Steel,etc) or it is not making full contact with the cooking surface. If it is warped, too small or has ribs it does not make enough surface contact to be recognized by the cooktop.

Can't answer that. I was very disappointed in the grill. Everything turned out tough as leather (beef and pork) because all the juice and fat drains off. I packed it away.

perhaps it was from something you cooked before and didn't clean completely

Looks like an error on the part of the advertiser to me. We bought this same set of cookware (and are delighted with it) and did not get the light and meter with it.

There is a lip on pan to prevent what you are cooking from running out...example being if you were cooking pancake batter and it got to close to edge it would be blocked from spilling over by the lip....hope this answers question...The grill is FLAT on the bottom side..

Thanks for your input. maybe I was just being overly anxious. The reason I bought the grill was because I heard grilled meat, directly on the hot surface was bad so I wanted an alternative. I'll take it out of the box and try it. :o)

The closest I've seen is a black grill mat. You place it right on the grill and you can do eggs or pancakes. You can also meat and still get grill marks. Wash it and it's ready for your cookout. Good luck

Interesting question-------one I would have never thought of. It has a shiny finish that with time and use has become not so shiny anymore. It is a black porcelain look. True, when cleaned, it doesn't come completely clean, but, most of the stuck on food comes off. I do wish I had started spaying the grate--from the very first--with a non stick spray. The grate size is good for soaking in the sink before cleaning.Oh! I absolutely love this grill! It gets much hotter than any I have ever had and cooks quickly and more evenly than any I have had before. It is ideal for searing a steak and leaving the center rare--very rare, the way I like it.

It could be the design. Weber would be the best source for your answer. The light works well though.

I agree with VP...however, usually we measure a BBQ with width and depth (not length and width), so I can see why the buyer was confused.

Yes, I can see the contents cooking during daylight hours. Maybe the location of the space is a factor in your case.

I don't know, I didn't have very good luck with mine, but I think you put the food the way its shown in the picture.

Good question. I cleaned the area where is was going to be applied with a good cleaner to remove grease and dirt then let it dry. I tried my best to line up the middle of the emblem using the Ford badge on the grill as a reference - I think there are notches on the emblem paper backing marking the middle but I can't remember. It's important to make sure the ends of the emblem - the "e" and the "r" are even and in the middle of the hood area horizontally. The emblem has a curve to it, so it can take a little work. Make sure you're applying in warm weather or the hood is decently warm. If it's cold the thing won't stick. I hope this helps! Good question.

Heat distribution is not the problem. Discoloration and metal seepage are the main issues. And because the layers are so thin the food does not cook as much as it burns. BIG waste of money.
