Where's the "grill" part? My burgers sit in their grease. I don't want "steamed" burgers.

don't forgot to put on the cover. without the cover the pan cannot be a grill.it will not work if the microwave oven is less than 700 watts. you may have to reduce the power if your microwave is too powerful.I use full power for 700w microwave and 80% power for 900w microwave.it may take longer time if the meat is cold.keep in mind, the inferred heating is always slower than microwave. it just different taste.good luck.

I found this to be a total waste of cupboard space...there is no grill as far as I can see. It went to the donate pile rather quickly. I can do as good with a pirex pie plate. Waste of money

Do not buy this product. The nonstick coating started peeling off after couple uses. It is a health risk.

There is a small drip pan at the end of the grill it catches all the grease. Easy to use.

Spray the grates with vegetable oil and fire up the grill.The grates will be fine.This is the best grill I've ever owned. Tonight,I grilled corn,onions,baby back ribs and hamburgers.I love it.

sorry to say that is common withe these types of grills. green egg included. the easiest thing to do is coat with pam and then burn the grates every use. thats not fixing the problem it just cleans them. It's like having cast iron pans. you could bring them inside every use but that may be a hassle. sorry about the issu. :(

In the back of the grill there is a cup that catches the grease. One can easily remove the reflector plate and the grill for easy cleaning. When you remove the reflector plate then just wipe up the left over grease in the bottom of the grill. We have been using these grills for years and love them. We have 3. One at our home up north and one down at our Fl home and an extra up north in case the one that sits outside uncovered goes on the fritz. You will not be displeased with this product and food tastes and smells like it was grilled over coals unlike the George Foreman grills. Enjoy. Tim

the grills do not come out. never us soap and water. take some paper towling and wipe the grease off. it is just like an old cast iron frypan. the more waffles you make the better the waffles.

you can try other items. however with brats and sausage you will have a lot of grease. I'm sticking with the hot dogs. I don't want to ruin my machine.

You can, but there is no lip so grease would just run off the sides. I use cast iron skillets on my grill for meat.

I use a damp paper towel when I turn off the grill. Works really well for me!

Yes you can. I do it all the time with burgers packed with fresh veggies, then remove it from the bag and grill a few min. You do need to buy the good bags not the thin cheap ones.

Yes, there's space. The hamburger drains as it cooks so there's not all the grease on the bottom like there usually is when you make meatloaf.

Yes. I have done the same thing. Helps to rinse the ground beef with hot water to get rid of the grease first.

i switched to the Cuisinart for that very reason. the GF (after you remove the grilling plate) you'll notice a small centrally located heating element. The Cuisinart has one that covers the entire surface. The GF is a poor design unless you are cooking in dead center. and, even then, it seems to take forever to heat up. if you are getting NO heat then you obviously have a defective unit.

wipe out the bits with stiff brush or other similar thing. paper towel for excess oil. the oil can stay on the grill a long time without harm to the next batch. My unit died and I threw it away. Not well made inside I guess.

Just put a foil liner in the bottom when you rotisserie; you can buy one, but it's actually easier (and a much better fit) to make one out of foil. I also cover the "reflector" below the heat element with foil so I can remove and replace it from time to time. Much easier than cleaning cooked on grease from the reflector. Hope that helps--I love this grill!
