Can I use the grill for cooking steaks, chicken, etc

Yes, absolutely. It handles high temps quite well so that chicken and chops will get good sear marks, if that is your intention. Otherwise, the grill cooks at all other temps too. I read that it defrosts foods at an alarming fast time--with food safety in mind--and I find that to be true. Since the non stick surface has worn on mine, I use it more for defrosting than anything else.

Spray the grates with vegetable oil and fire up the grill.The grates will be fine.This is the best grill I've ever owned. Tonight,I grilled corn,onions,baby back ribs and hamburgers.I love it.

I think you can fry in this pan. I've mostly just cooked hamburgers in mine. Just make sure the chicken is well done in the center. The nice thing about the grill pan is that the meat doesn't lay in the oil and splatter everywhere. Good luck!!

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!

The grill does not get hot enough to do thick steaks very well. It will do a thick chicken breast, but thick steaks do not work very well. Paini's come out great!

Yes you can use it for panninis, searing meats and anything else you can think of.

Absolutely. I fry chicken, fish, chicken fried steak, and I make French fries in it. I also use in on a lower temp to make meatloaf, chicken and rice, and beef and noodles. (Now I'm hungry).

I use it to cook all the time if I'm just cooking for two. You can adjust the temperature if full blast is too hot. Steaks, tuna and pork chops all do very well just on the infrared burner. For thicker meats, like chicken or a very thick steak, I'll use the regular grill, too. Last night I cooked two ribeyes medium rare in about six minutes on the side burner. Warm up is quick, too, two minutes or less. I'm saving gas like crazy.

yes you can cook on the grill surface. the heat of the fire will kill any germs like any grill you would use. I would suggest to keep it clean after each use and season the grill with a good pan spray to keep a coating on it.

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

It would be ok to do so, but I've had mine about a year now and don't think it is necessary. The metal plates the grills sit on take care of that. Just keep them clean & you'll be fine.

Definitely! We actually have 2 of these grills. One at our home and one at our cabin. This grill gets used much more than our gas or charcoal grills. In addition - we had company a week or so ago and they thought I was crazy to use this grill for BBQ Chicken - then they raved about how it turned out on that grill and asked me where I got it. Kim S

No you can't use the grill inside.To much smoke when cooking will cause your smoke alarm to ring. The weight limit varies. The manuel states 2 whole 1/2-3 lbs.,turkey whole 8-12 lbs. I don't know I have tried 1 whole chicken. I found when it's too much weigth the rotisserie drops. I might have done something wrong. I hope this helps.

Of course--why would you hesitate? But you would use the broiler element since it is not a "grill."

Yes you can cook meat on it but it has no Grill accessory or anything like that. It works just as good as one of those flat grills you see at a short order restaurant and has a grease trap to siphon all the grease off the cooking surface.
