Can you use this when pan frying steaks or pork chops?

Yes you can stick it in the meat to see if it has reached proper temperature. I would not leave it in the meat.

Hi. I don't recommend stirring fry vegetables in this pan on high heat. It will burn the pot and leave spots that are hard to clean. If you don't use high heat it might be ok.

You actually can, but I find that adding a touch (tea or tablespoon) of olive, rice bran or canola oil to this pan never hurts, especially when you want some carmelization, sheen and moisture of your cooked products (like onions, omelets, frozen potstickers, or whatever). Just be careful NOT to cook high heat items like a thick steak on non-stick surfaces- it won't come out as well as cooking over a grill or cast iron, and some discoloration will be left on some of the non-stick surface that may not come off; plus non-stick surfaced pans supposedly give off traces of carcinogens, when subject to very high heat. Good luck.

Yes, the BEW600XL Hot Wok™ can be used to stir-fry or even to brown up meat for use in other recipes.

I have only used this for in the oven dishes and on top of the stove dishes. Have not used it for deep frying, not sure I would. I have used it to brown onion, and meat. Hope this helps.

Yes you can! As a matter of fact they work great for cooking meats that you don't want sitting in their oils!

I have never tried it, but I am certain you can. there is a rack there just for that. I know one thing about this Foreman, it's great for steaks!

Yes, I have used it for ground beef as well as steaks, pork chops, and chicken.

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.

No. We use it for fish, chicken breast, and some times a pork chop. We have the saying, you can always cook more if it's not ready, but you can't uncook anything. We put mixed veggies on top with a sauce that drips down to the meat and cook from 7 to 10 minutes. If the veggies are to done (I like my crispy), then you can take the layer out and continue cooking the meat. It is very handy and we are considering buying a second one as we use it several times a week. Hope this answers you question. I really recommend the steamer if you like to eat healthy. I am a diabetic and this is great for me. Hope this helps. No. We use it for fish, chicken breast, and some times a pork chop.

I wouldn't use it for deep frying but it can be used for braising and browning ground meat.

Yes, I am a country firl, we season our skillets by cooking fatty food" bacon" in them. a metal spatula will scrath the pan, wood is better and once seasoned try not to use dishsoap if at all possbile. rinse with water and put it on the range and dry" turn on the fire till the pan is dry. or dry with a cloth but sometimes using just a cloth doesn't dry it correctly and rust can appear

Haven't used mine yet, but I got it to do just that. Yes, with a cast iron skillet or one that a magnet sticks to, you can sear, deep fry or boil. Got mine to use on my lanai for frying fish and steaks without all the grease and smoke in the house

I've cooked fish, bacon, pancakes, grilled cheese sandwiches and stir fry among other things in my ceramic marble coated cook pan, but not steaks. Everything I've cooked in it cooks with relative ease. I see no reason why steaks wouldn't do the same. The handle stays cool to the touch when cooking. I like that. For cleanup I hand wash with soap and water. I have recently started using a glass top stove and find this pan, along with my other ceramic cook pans, when heated, do not sit flat on the burner. They seem to curve...if that is possible. That's probably due to my cooktop rather than the cookware, because they worked great on my gas range. I hope this helps!

Absolutely! I always use it when I cook. Though it can't detect internal temperature like the others said, it's incredibly useful to know how hot your pan is. After using it for a while, you learn exactly what temperature you need to have to get the best results. It's improved my cooking more than any other tool.

I only use it for frying. I have never thought about using it any other way, but I suppose it is possible. You probably should contact the company which manufacturers this product.
