I like my burgers crispy critter style with no pink meat. Will this unit do that? Thanks.

I'm not sure about meat, I've used it many times on chicken and fish and my wife cooks vegetables. The french fries, fish and chicken tastes like a 5 star restaurant cooked them. It cooks in about 14 minutes and I use olive oil with spices. I have pancreatitis so I have cut down on the red meat and my wife cooks that in the oven. You'll love this because it doesn't use grease. I give it a 10+.

I just cooked some today and I have found out that the time they give you in the recipe book is always, not enough time. It cooks bacon perfect without burning it or drying it out or frying it too crisp. I love my grill and do most everything that requires frying in a skillet. You just have to found out much time it takes to cook it the way you want it.

No. Air Fryers, like Phillips, directs the hot air flow. This is a Convection Oven, which uses a fan or fans in the back of the oven to move the heated air around in the oven compartment, distributing it more evenly than a regular oven. I would not classify this product as an "air fry" capable unit. You can "bake" in this, without grease, and I would be curious to see and taste the difference in simply baking and air frying.

I guess, if you broil your burgers. I would never use this to make hamburgers, but that just be my personal preference.

I have used this fryer about 4 times since I have bought it. I does what I expected. I fried chicken, and french fries. I did not have any issues with the basket having food stuck to it. Would recommend, I wanted a frier but did not want another electric gadget in my kitchen.

I made bacon jerky with mine and it ran unattended for over two days straight. So, to answer the question, yes. Absolutely.

No, I insert dogs and set on #5, when done, change dogs end to end and cook again. This time you can hear the sizzle and are brown in areas, taste as if they were grilled. I love the taste so it is worth the effort. I also put in microwave to remove the chill before putting into the toaster. My husband loves the taste also. Hope this has helped you.

I have cooked premade frozen hamburger patties on this grill. It takes longer to cook them. I don't know if any other meats like frozen pork chops would work. I would be really careful to check the meat for doneness if you decide to try it. Best of luck.

Definitely, I always remove the basket to fry chicken parts, onion rings, hash brown patties and fried green tomatoes. Wonderful fryer, best I've had and believe me I've had all the FAMOUS CHEF Ones and they can't hold a candle to this one.

I hope not - I'm halfway thru and there's been no sign. The dog likes it, anyway, and if not totally turned off the coprophagy, he's at least no longer devoted to it. That could be the meat tenderizer I sprinkle on his food, as well, of course.t

No, you simply plug it in and unplug it when done. You can fry about 4 cups of raw potatoes or 4-5 pieces of meat at one time. If you overfill it, food will not come out as crispy.

No - this is not the unit that has the "sear function". That is GRP4800R - it has a sear setting that goes to 500 degrees for steaks and burgers.

This was bought as a gift for my daughter, and she has told me that this cooks 2 chicken breasts side by side nicely. I do not know regarding hamburgers or steaks. I am sorry.

Yes. No problem at all. To minimize burger on the utensil. follow the tip and use wax paper 1/2 sheets {about 6" sq.} between each burger. Also helps separate them when frozen. Love it. Good luck.

The unit is specifically designed for using on a barbecue....meats, but not veggies or liquids. Sorry.

Yes, follow the directions and it will brown then up crispy yet moist under the skin. Pretty amazing unit.
