Can I use it for meat instead of lobster?

Certainly. My wife just made a seafood/sausage/potato concoction that was well received by all.

Sure! You can use it for steaming, boiling or deep frying. We used it last night for steaming veggies, seafood, and sausage. My dad uses his to deep fry turkey.

I have never seen it used for anything except Asian food but I don't see why you couldn't use it for something else

I suppose you could since the temperature goes to 400F, but the end of the probe is rounded so it might be difficult to put into meat. I was looking for an easier-to-read candy thermometer, and this is perfect and is designed to fit on the side of the saucepan with the probe in the pan.

I have never used it for lobster, but assuming that the local fishing laws allow for this type of trap for lobstering, I think it's possible that it might work. The doors on the trap are wide enough for a lobster to fit through, but I would make sure that you have them weighted so they stay closed once the lobster is inside.

We have used this machine to "cube" cuts of steaks. We run the meat through a second time, which makes it even more tender. I expect you could do stew meat with it. It may work with smaller pieces of meat. Might be worth a try.'

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

would work fine for that but would have to be a very small amount of meat. the container is only about 6 inches across. this is more for after you have already removed the meat from a pan and then straining the grease into the jar for later use. This is why it refers to bacon more than any other because that is a grease you might save and cook with compared to beef.

Absolutely not!!! It will take away the delicate flavor of the Salmon away and infuse with that of anchovies and other fishes used to make this sauce. This is more for using with shrimps & other crustacean's. use with Thai recipes. For salmon i would just recommend olive oil with basil & lime juice. Hope that helps :-)

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.

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 . . .you must use a PRESSURE canner for meats, poultry and fish. This unit isn't a pressure canner.

Definitely. I bake bread and cookies, roast potatoes, zucchini and eggplant. Haven't tried it with meat but can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Be aware that aluminum, like aluminum cookware, will be more difficult to clean after cooking meat in it. But the only way you can ruin it is to leave it in the oven during an oven cleaning cycle. That will melt the pan.

Yes absolutely ! We do beef . Chicken and shrimp all the time.it has a dial for temp hi to low and anything in between. This purchase exceeded my expectation

Yes, my wife uses it to cook beef, chicken, and fish. This baby cooker is quite awesome.

I've never used it for such. I have tried other cuts of meat but it takes experimentation. It is perfect for rotisserie chicken and it is fine to experiment with other items, but I am not confident enough to use expensive cuts of beef or lamb.

I bought this for my parents as they love grilled sandwiches. I agree with the other people that cooking bacon would be a grease overload. As for steak, I don't believe it would have the same flavor as barbequing does. If your looking for a short cut, try it, but some things need that extra step for flavor. Great sandwiches.

Not in the traditional sense. But I like to sautee chicken apple sausage bites to dip in swiss fondue. You could do the same with steak bites to dip in your favorite sauce. If you are looking to cook meat in oil, I would suggest an electric fondue pot so you can regulate the temperature.
