How do you keep the meat from sticking to the top part? Mine keep doing that and falling apart.

I have the same problem but not all the time. Depends on the meat and the temperature of the meat. I spray a little PAM before each pressing and that helps a lot.

My guess is that the material is not sticking to the platform. Try preheating it.

I wish I could help you. I never had that problem. There usually is a clip on the handles to keep them together. Good Luck.

I havent had any problem with any part of it falling off. Im sorry to hear your having so much trouble with it :(

Don't seem to have the same problem. Could it have been twisted at some point? The hinge may have a loose feel to allow you to close it with the batter on the iron. The will allow the top to sit level for an even cooking surface.

Try adding the extension piece. Weber is extremely helpful with this problem.

Hi Carol, you more than likely need to cook with lower temperature. If I cook any higher than med-low food starts sticking. At that level pretty much nothing sticks. If you are still having issues, you may have to re-season the pan. There are tons of articles on the net on how to do this.

I've not experienced that. I don't put anything I'm cooking over the holes. There could be a little splatter, but that happens with any meats being fried, grilled, etc., and it's not been problematic.

The only time I have had issue is if it gets wet from too much juice or if I have let the meats hit the edge going in the bag. I wipe it off with a paper towel and don't have issue...I do like the suggestion the lady has about using a zip lock first for things like chicken...I will have to try that!

Sometimes mine is like that. Angle it upward and push in firmly. You don't need to have a perfect fit. Just test it before you put your food on it so it doesn't fall.

I've had the exact same problem. I just used a clip to keep it closed. Also thinking of transferring it into a freezer bag since I store it in the freezer.

I haven't had that problem, althought mine has come apart several times. I push the part into the upper piece and turn it in the direction shown by the arrow on the lower part to lock it. I'd offer the suggestion to firmly seat the parts together and then twist the two pieces in the direction shown by the arrows. That's all I can offer.

The Little Giant has NEVER given me any problems of any kind.... food has never gotten stuck, it never created a mess...you just pour it in, and as the animal(s) eat the food, gravity takes over & the food continues to fall down to where the animals can get to it.... When you clean it(I cleaned mine once a week), just hose it down with a garden hose, & let it dry in the sun.

Mine just comes apart easily, in fact it falls off if I lift up the metal part. Maybe because it's old. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I try to get the point to the middle of the meat. Not sure if thats the best way to do it but it makes the most sense to me. Last part to cook is the middle and want to make sure the meat, especially chicken, is not raw.

Grease can come out of the back of the lid while cooking brats. I haven't had the issue with other meat.
