Is this good for med rare steaks at 155 deg?

Medium rare steaks are not 155 degrees. They are 132 degrees.But no, this does not work good on steaks and thinner cuts of meats. It is better for roasts.

for med rare steaks I would get myself a thermometer pen/probe, the maverick is best suited for roasts

The digital readout and probes seem to be accurate within a couple degrees.

If it's important to get just exactly the right temp. I would use this till it gets close then check with a accurate, adjusted gauge. Once you know how this reads your good to go. This allows you to know the temp. without standing over it.

If you are within 10 feet of your cooker, yes. It does not transmit more than 10-15 feet.

I would say yes if you are standing next to the grill. The wireless is worthless.

My husband says it gets plenty hot. Hot enough for a good steak. Has no idea of how may BTUs.

On the cooked steak it is best. Probably would work as a marinade too but not as spectacular. You will lose the freshness of the flavors methinks

Yes, it is agreat knife, I have 2 of them, they are very sharp and I only have them sharpened professionally. Cooks Magazine reviewed a lot of knoves and this was #1, and the cheapest!!!

It will do about a one inch piece of meat. My problem with it is the knives are to far apart to really do a good job. You have to run the meat through to many times to get the tenderness you may be looking for.

No problem. I've slow cooked pork roasts and beef roasts and they come out tender

It makes steaks every night and gives shoulder rubs. Ha! No, seriously, its fine. Dont know why amazon was charging so much. Is perfectly fine for what it is.

Yes !!! I've only had it for about three weeks .. But works pretty good in my opinion.. I've used it for steak knives and works fine.. Can't beat the price.. It has a sharpener on one side, for coarse knifes and on the other side for fine knifes.. Good luck if you decide to buy.. I would recommend it !!!!!

I used it for strips and rib eyes. I loved it. Bought one for both my sister and nephew. It leaves grill marks and I thought steaks had great taste.

I recommend 15,000. You'll get a better sear on your meat and if you're spending the $$ you may as well get what works best

Yes it is about 100 degrees hotter. The sear burner is between burner 2 and 3. All burners run front to back. So when all are on you have 3 burners on high only 2 inches apart putting out concentrated heat quickly searing the food. Negative you don't want to leave on long or you'll empty your propane tank. Posit e is it's sears steaks in 1-2 minutes/side.

I never used it for Bacon, but for those juicy big meat cuts like NY Strip and Rib Eye it's excellent!!! If leave it cooking for just 6 minutes you get a great medium rare steak....!!!!! Of course if you leave it more time you can get a well done too...!!!

1 chunk for up to 3/4" thickness steak cooked to medium. No problem. I use pecan or mesquite.

This works great. I use it yearly to process venison not just for me but my entire family. Usually 6-8 deer. I do not feel that it is overly fast but I do not think it is slow either. I can process about 5# of meat in 7-10 minutes. It might take it faster but I do not want to overload the amchine. I bought this particular one because it was made in Japan rather than chinese junk. I am very satisfied. Hope this helps.

It's not entirely true that these are smooth. They are smooth but as you can see from the pictures there is a bee stamp in the center of the pan. This is quite noticeable if you run your fingers over it but after several years of use it hasn't seemed to effect anything one way or the other.The 7.9 imho would not be large enough for a medium to large steak. The base would be 5". That's not very big considering most steaks are oblong and probably around 5" on the shortest side. Get a 10.2 for steaks. That's what I use and only a very large steak is tight fit.

rub a little onto your steak before griling. yum yum Works well with roast beef also.

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.
