Can it hold a wrapped burger and fries to reheat? How much can you actually put in it at a time? Thanks!

My answer would be a qualified yes. It is my contention that this equipment is a total waste of time and money. When burton first began the manufacture of the "lunchbox stove ". There were issues though the equipment performed above and beyond. The last burton I purchased was junk: never reached the advertised temperature and had plenty of hot spots which would incinerate the food in some areas and undercook the food in others. I can admit now that I utilized the truckstop rental program whereby when the stove fried I would purchase another and return the old on a week later telling the clerk how terrible the stove was. Though I am not a fan of Chinese manufacturing,I believe that this is also a bad design. I traded the stove for a new one a dozen times between 8/2011and 9/2013 when I retired from the trucking industry. I advised my students to simply purchase a 300 watt inverter (Cobra) manufactures a decent one and a small cheap crock pot. This combo will cook anything you need from chili to hamburgs to complete one pot meals. Put your meal together befor you hit the sac leave it in the crock pot liner bag inside your cooler. Simply put it bag and all in the crockpot before you start your driving gay and dinner will be ready whenever you are. I used to stop between 2 and 3 pm so I got a space,eat,shower and relax a bit till bedtime. Good luck out there.

I bought it for making fries. the thing you put the food in is about the size of a soda can. and it did not make fries well at all. It does seem like it will work for other things. It looks to be the exact same product as the link posted-and there are 70 mixed reviews that you can check out. http://www.qvc.com/qvc.product.K14798.html

I just gave it a test, you should be able to fit 7 , 3-1/2 inch wide burgers on the grill. I used ramekins and 3 per side were comfortable, one in center.

I just cooked 4 pounds of hamburger in it this morning. I use it constantly for frying and baking. I love it.

We have cooked two large ones at a time... But I do not think it will hold more

it is very shallow and will hold some grease. I would not use it for that since it is not possible to put a splatter screen over it, and you would have to sop up the grease often. It works for warming precooked bacon and sausage though.

I have used it in the microwave, and unfortunately it did not hold up well. It showed signs of melting after the first use. So now I just heat in a microwave safe dish and then place heated food inside.I have used it for chips, but the container size determines how many chips you can get in. Lately, I have been just buying pretzel sticks because it's easy to place them in than chips.

Haven't used it since last football season and I usually cook steaks, but I would guess about 6-8 burgers would be about right (If you make your own, more if they are store bought). Depending on how you laid them out on the burners, only half the burner has the "grates" so the grease wouldn't drip off as easily, but it's never really been a problem for me. The "solid" part of the grate has come in helpful though when cooking other things as it works like a mini griddle. But you can try to find close up pictures of the grates to see what I'm talking about. Hope that long winded answer helped.

This will hold multiple containers - I would get a 9" x 13" pan and place multiple containers within them to see what sizes work best. As far as retaining heat? I've travelled short distances - so, I am not sure of the long hours. Pyrex sells a hot/cold pack that can go inside the container for a nominal price. I think that will help keep your foods warm for at least 3-4 hours.

No. it is fine for 1 or 2 people. it is nice for 1 o2 because it has the grill bars are so close together you can be grilling the entree on one side and a side dish of vegetables or partially precooked potatoes on the other. I live alone but have filled the grill with an entire meal of meat, vegetables and potatoes. If you were just cooking burgers it will hold 4 easy and 6 if you put them close together which is not optimal. It is better to space the food apart some. It is one of the smaller grills on the market.

I have this and love it for reheating pizza, rolls, and things like that...any food that is extremely messy or greasy or could drip thru holes would probably not be a good idea. I usually use the baking pan with a mini rack for things that have the potential to drip on the heating element.

It can hold a gallon+ of water BUT I would definitely NOT use/recomment this unit as a slow cooker, or to make soups and casseroles. This skillet is not deep enough and too wide to promote concentrate heat in a compact area which is essential in the types of food cooking you referred to. The heating element do not push out consistent heating at any level--it tends to cease producing heat or shut off heat once an unknown maximum heat level is reached at any of the heating settings. It is good for browning meat for soups and casseroles but I find my previous experience at a *set and let to cook* attempts not workable. I recomment buying another cookware more suited for your use.

It's big enough to fry fries but for doughnuts it may only be able to take three or so in my opinion considering they will expand when cooked.

Depends on how big? Plus you would have to take the thing that turns out or it would break you cod up in little pieces. I can put 15 - 20 wings in it or a half of bag of frozen fries if that helps.

You can cook any smaller amount up to its capacity. This is per my wife who uses it often.
