Try using cast iron pan The broiler is great as I mentioned in a previous review. My complaint if any is the cleanup which requires disassembly and scrubbing rack and shelf and pan prior to dropping in the dishwasher. so I tried a sheet pan with a rack and that worked well and the cleanup was quicker. Next I tried a 12 inch cast-iron fry pan and it works great. I heated up the fry pan under the broiler and when it got up to about five or 600° I added a little oil dropped my steak in a little bit of butter and broiled from the top and pan fried from the bottom Cutting cooking time in half. I also was able to cook mushrooms in pan after the steak came off with red wine all going into the beef juices and it made a wonderful sauce so I’m very happy now and I suggest trying this method when next you do a steak

Schwank grills is an amazing experience… Schwank grills is an amazing experience if you want to have a five star Resturant steak at home. The customer service is like having a friend walk you though all any questions you might have.

The website is very informative The website is very informative, if I would change anything it would be to have a “specs” tab, I did see the dimensions on the main page but not grill grate size or overall size of opening. I did finally find those answers on the FAQ tab, but I had already spent time on other websites to find answers (like overall weight). The cooking videos on the website are amazing and extremely useful! After much reading and watching, I chose this infrared grille over the Otto and am excited to get it!! The overall build (in USA), ease of cleaning and use, and having more heft (weight) we’re big parts of my decision.
