Can you cook a steak on this as a closed grill the same as other Foreman grills?

Yes. Done it and it cooks the same. The only thing is that since its less slanted it drains less fat out

I haven't used it yet, but I don't see why not! The first thing I'm going to grill is sausages.

Yes. We have had no issue. Keep the lid closed until it makes temperature, then do the steak.

I believe you can, I have not needed to. I use the grill for motorhome when we travel and love it's versatility. I can cook hot dogs, hamburgers, and on the griddle side I can cook pancakes, eggs, bacon, etc. That is all I need to give my wife a break from doing all the cooking while we travel.

I don't see why not. It is portable and safe to use as any other portable propane grill.

Yes you could but consider that the smoke created by the grill is the same depending on what you are grilling regardless of the fact is electric

I have cooked steaks on this grill and they turned out great. I am very pleased with this grill, It also works quite well for making pancakes. I put potatoes on the scewers and turned it on and they were good also.

I have used it for frying without the lid but never for steaks. I would use a cast iron or grill for steaks and burgers. Hope this helps.

We have never tried but my boyfriend who does all the BBBQing he says that he is sure you could but he thinks you would have to prop the lid open a bit to keep it at a low temp. We have to say though we love these grills - we own the smaller one too for camping - they are so easy to clean and are very sturdy grills - we would recommend them to everyone - we use to buy really expensive grills for the back yard and they would rust out and the igniter would stop working but not on these.

Haven't tried broiling a steak, but it broiled shrimp quite well. You have to remember to leave the door ajar (there's a handy built-in detent for that purpose) to get a proper broiling action, same as you would with a full-size oven.

Absolutely! I cook thick steaks on this grill a couple times. a week; they consistently come out perfectly. Chicken is great, too. Everything I've ever cooked on the grill has been superior.

Gooday, Have not tried taking the grill plate off and use the Breakfast plate alone, that is not what Weber advocate as far as I am aware, as you say it is designed to just sit on the existing Grille.Am seriously disappointed with the one I have, (genuine Weber,) used it only once and would not successfully fry eggs unless you closed the lid. Afraid it is gathering dust waiting for me to list it for sale. Cheers,Oz T.

I only have the regular grilling plates. Which are easy to take care of...however, I hate the George Foreman grill and sorry I bought it. I've grilled maybe 4 times and did not like the outcome with steaks and salmon. I made the steaks as the booklet suggested, but the timing was too long and the steak was dried and flattened. I just got tired of ruining expensive cuts of meat and so stored it away for now. Good luck with yours.

Certainly you can grill with the lid closed. It may be the better way to grill some things, especially in windy conditions. Just be aware that this little grill puts out a lot of BTU's so pay attention to what you are cooking.

Hi Scott, Yes you can,but with any open heat source just don't leave it unattended for a long period of time. We love ours very much just the other day I did a roast,potatoes and buns in mine.if you didn't know they make a top rack that's a must have to layer foods. PS we burned a hole in a deck with the weber smoker once,,,Lordy be so I get the question...lol Happy cookin! Mo

This is nothing like the George Foreman Grill. The George Foreman grill has a heating surface on top and bottom. This grill is great. It has the cooking area on the bottom and the lid is like a regular outdoor grill. And with the adjustable temperature you can change the temperature to your desired temperature depending on how fast or slow you want to cook

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!
