how does it grill a 1-inch steak

It makes an edible 1 inch steak, which is much more than I can say about those contact type indoor grills. It will not make a great medium rare steak though as it will be cooked before the outside is fully browned.

I wouldn't grill a 1 inch steak on here unless you're planning on finishing it off in the oven. It's not like an outdoor grill. So I use mine mostly for korean BBQ.

We are having one-inch thick rib eyes, tonight. This is the second time that we have grilled them on this grill. They turn out great, and we like our steaks medium well, so we tent it loosely with foil after we turn it the first time, to make sure we get it done enough. Wonderful, juicy steaks. I use a meat thermometer religiously, and that is key to not over or under cooking meat and poultry. I grilled some boneless, skinless marinated chicken breasts that were outstanding, juicy, moist and tender. I love this grill! I rarely leave a review, but got notification of your question and thought maybe I could help out. We are having one-inch thick rib eyes, tonight.

This is a simple electric grill. It will struggle to cook thicker steak cuts evenly. Thank you.

I use a cooking spray and heat for about 2 minutes. Put the steak on the sizzling pan and cook. Depending on the size of the steak andhow well you like your steak, I would start with 1 minute on each side and then check.

Big enough to cook a single ribeye steak or 6 chicken wings in 15 minutes. Season with Lawry's salt while on the grill. Good stuff!

I lay the steel part on the grill a few minutes. Then load the cooked food to it and slide the plastic part of the platter under it to carry to the table. A cast iron one like they use at restaurants would hold heat longer. But this one is easier to clean and doesn't rust.

I find you REALLY have to git 'er done and get the cover closed to maintain heat. I have only used the highest setting so far, and even then the temp will drop if you dawdle just a little bit. However, the flavor is good when you surround the edge of the grate with some wood chips. If you're going to do steak, make sure it's thick. I've done amazing pork tenderloin, ribeyes, filet mignon, fish, chicken...but you have to be strategic with the temperature drop.

When I cook my steaks on the grille, as suggested, I try to trim most of the fat from the edges. As a result, I have very little clean-up to do and it is relatively easy to clean.

It expands pretty wide. I have not tried a steak, we like ours on the outside grill. Makes great burgers though. I think the thickness shown in the picture attached is pretty accurate for the distance between the plates. I think you could get a 2-3 inch steak.

I would use the 1lb cannisters that you can get almost anywhere. The cost a couple dollars a piece, and will last for about 5 or so hours of grilling.

Extremely easy. Scrape it, wire brush & empty trey. I line the drip trey with foil. It is much easer to use and clean than my humongous Stainless grill that cost $1000. & I no longer use.Want to purchase a nice big stainless grill?? cheap?? Seriously it is a great grill. We love it. It heats up real fast, also.

this is a small or personal grill. Maybe you can do 2 burgers or 1 steak at a time.

Depends on what you're cooking, but most of the time yes. Not a big deal though. Yesterday I cooked a rock solid frozen 2 inch NY strip steak to perfect restaurant quality medium rare in a little more than 30 minutes. The thing really works...

I use it on my tiny boat BBQ and there isn't enough room for it and steaks so I place the grill basket on top of the steaks while they cook.

The small part is the firebox. You can grill just in it or just heat with it. The big part is called the cook chamber. In most typical use you would build a fire in the firebox and place your item to be cooked in the cook chamber. Cooking your item with an offset heat source allowing the smoke flavor to be absorbed.

just put wood chips directly on the supplied square steel plate and place that directly on the heating element; cook on high with steak on grill above drip pan; use meat thermometer and do not overcooklarger pieces of meat work better

I have the grill .. Used it 1 time ... Took forever to even cook a hot dog .. It doesn't get hot enough to sear much of anything....

Carole, another trick is to rub the fatty edge of the meat along the *hot* grates. You could also spray with Pam *before* heating it.

It is like a thermometer with a shiort and stubby tail. You just have to mount it is a place where it will not touch the meat and is likely to get a good sampling of the grill. All I did was to drill a hole about 3/8" wide near the top of the cover, drop the themometer in and screw it finger tight from the other side. So if you are adding this to a grill that has no thermometer it is that simple. If you are replacing an existing one I do it know. Again the hole you need is about 3/8" wide and it stiks out on the inside less than 2" I think.
