@PositiveMD have you tried a ceramic cleaner?

Tonight I tried bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. First I cooked them sous vide for 2 hours at 165f. The plan was to have them finish by just after 6, then I would take them out, dry them, and put them on the s/s grill as recommended by Phillip's. As they were turning golden brown with a nice crispy skin, I would finish prepping the rest of the dinner. The time was 6:10 and oops, the power went off. I left the dinner thighs in the hot water for about 1/2 hour but then put them in an ice bath until the power came back on, an hour later. The thighs are now, of course, ice cold which meant if we wanted hot food they would have to stay on the grill longer than planned. I sprayed the s/s grill with some oil and on they went. As expected, the skin stuck to the grill. Almost all of the best part of the chicken, the skin, was lost. Also as expected, the thighs suffered from being too long on the heat. The flavour of the chicken was excellent and I would cook them this way again but I would use the non-stick grill. One piece of chicken has a bit of the skin, the other is the reverse side of another piece.

If @rotuts, @Smithy, @lindag and @KennethT all got together, maybe Amazon would let them do a discounted bulk buy.

You're killing me!

@rotuts Talking ourselves into it, are we, and roping in @lindag too?

Yes, I remembered you saying that which is why I am going the sous vide/then grill route.

I have had the Xmart oven and currently gave the BSOA. I prefer the BSOA. I use the air frying function although I wasn't sure I would when I bought it. I also use the proof function when I make bread. It's also better for reasons others have stated. I know you didn't ask, BUT, if i could only have one oven it would be the Cuisinart Steam Oven.

Yet.😂

It says that the wire one is for delicate food like fish or chicken while the other one is for tougher meats such as steaks and burgs. The spacing on the wire grill is wider than the non-stick one. Guess I'll try the wire one tonight.

Last night I set the grill up under the hood over the stove and cooked some burgs. No smoke. I didn't need the fan. Keener that I am, I decided to cook some hot dogs for lunch. This time, the grill was on the counter, under some cupboards. Nary a wisp of smoke. I live in a condo apartment and nothing was open. I love this thing. I am going to do some chicken thighs tonight if I have time. Sous vide, then grilled. We'll see how it goes. I'm wondering if I should brush the thighs with oil post sous vide, pre-grill in case they stick?

The rotisserie sells for just under $150 Cdn. on Amazon.ca. @Norm Matthews Are you still using yours?

Last night's burgs. They had bacon and cheese mixed in with the meat. The buns were toasted on the grill and those are onion slices cooked along with the burgs. Best burgs I've had in ages, with a nice crunchy exterior. I'm thinking I might sous vide some chicken thighs and finish them on this grill. Has anyone tried this? BTW the thing cleaned up easily and quickly.

Me neither.😃

Yes you do. Yes you do. Yes you will. Thank you.

I don't know.

Why?

Grill accessory that came with it.

Grill accessory:

Thanks to 2 eGullet enablers, @Kerry Beal and @JoNorvelleWalker I came home with one of these today. I thought I would start a thread on this item so we could write about our experiences and post them on the same thread. I stopped and picked up some burgers and I will make them for supper tonight. Don't want to get too fancy first time out. I had read that certain parts were hard to clean so I bought a set of scrapers to help me.

😁😁😲😃

Spent part of today at Canadian Tire admiring the Phillip's Infrared Grill. I came home and looked into it some more. Does anyone besides @JoNorvelleWalker have one? Amazon has it on sale for $279 and they re throwing in a cleaning gadget. This year I've already bought the Control Freak and a back-up CSO. @rotuts and @Shelby insisted. I'm not sure I should be buying anything else. I sure do miss the toys I had at the house - the Weber gasser, The Big Green Egg, my electric smoker, my Weber charcoal grill. Maybe I wouldn't miss them so much if I had the Phillip's Grill.

Creole shrimp and grits. Grits made with corn stock and I included corn kernels. Garnished with green onions, cilantro and feta.

Good thing I don't like tuna.😁

Your guest isn't paying you.

Off course you blame Kerry. If I end up with one I'll blame her too. I just read the thread and see that I commented on it at the time. I had forgotten about that. I really, really, don't need another toy. I did forward the link to John because, well, Christmas is coming.
