Does it work well for meat, poultry, and fish? Does it work with food on a grill, frying pan, or oven ?

It reads infrared so it will only measure the outside temp. That being said I think that it soes a great job you just have to use some common sense.

We've used it for both, and it works perfectly. Spray with Pam or coat with oil; we're enjoying fish more often now that we can grill rather than fry it. KDJ

Hi Betty, I think it would pure things like chicken, fish or hamburger, but I'm not sure how well it would do on things like steak or lamb (chunks of meat). It comes with three sizes and I'm pretty sure you'd have success with at least one, if not all. Good luck. Cece

YES! This is mainly what I use it for! I also use it for boiling foods or foods in a fry pan!

I've only used it on grilled cheese sandwiches and cooking vegetables and eggs. I think it taste good on or in whatever I've used it in.

If you dip it in buttermilk and then the breadcrumbs or whatever, yes it will. As long as it's not dripping. If its dripping, the fan may blow all the liquid off the meat. The basket is not that big, room for about 3 legs or two breasts. The cooking is done by super-heated, recirculating air. That's why if you are doing fish sticks or chicken tenders, you need to spray a little cooking spray on the items so they have a little moisture and are not completely dried out. Aso, I believe they just came out with a larger capacity model. You might check that so you can make more fried chicken pieces at one time.

Absolutely! It's great on a grill. We used it on our gas grill and also in the oven.

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.

So far, I have only used it for baking fish or other foods that require a high temperature for 15-20 mins, I have a convection oven. It is heavy and doesn't warp even when the heat is at 450F. I think you could use it under the broiler (is that what you mean by "grilling"?), try heating just the pan to 500F and see.

Yes, we've used it on our charcoal grill to bake potatoes and whole chicken, we have a smoker attachment on the side of the grill so we've cooked and smoked chicken on our grill using rotisserie.

I'm sure it would cook bacon although I have not used it to cook bacon myself because I always cook a pound at a time. But, the way it cooks and browns fish and beef, I'm sure it would work for bacon as well. I have a this one and the new one that is round and larger. It cooks fish and vegetables incredibly well. It also cooks a pretty good fillet when BBQing isn't convenient.

The grease works well with multiple types of food, especially when frying one appetizer after another. However, I would not use the grease for two separate strong smelling foods that aren't normally served together. For instance, use fish grease with caution when frying other food.....and this is only if you don't use the divider. Otherwise, with the divider in place, it really doesn't matter. The food always turns out great.

It works great on an electric stove. I have one and love it. Matter of fact, I like it so well I bought one for my daughter for Christmas. It works great with steaks, burgers and sliced veggies. Haven't tried shrimp or chicken yet, but I'm sure it will be good, too. You can sear the outside while the inside of the meat stays pink.

Yes! I have used it to fry fish snd stir frys. But the oil gets hotter faster. So be careful using it. I love it.

Absolutely. It works well for stir-fry, curries and many other types of foods.

Yes! I have used it on my gas grill and a charcoal one too. Great for roasting veggies! Make sure you season it properly!
