BIG HORN OUTDOORS Portable Infrared Broiler Propane Gas Grill, 1500 Degree Stainless Steel Tabletop Quick Cooking Steak Grill for Meat, Seafood, Veggies

So far, I have only cooked four of the best ribeyes I have ever had, but if you were to steal this from me today or if I broke it somehow this evening I would order another one later this evening, even at twice the price. I don't write reviews unless something is either outstanding or horrible.I don't use the racks as they were intended. I use one of them to support a 1/4 sheet pan, lined with foil and a dedicated stainless steel rack so clean up is simply scrubbing that rack a bit and throwing the foil away. The sheet pan and the griller stay clean with this set up. The racks that come with the cooker are better looking than the racks I have for other grilling equipment, mainly because they are heavy stainless steel, but I believe that the wire rack in the foil lined pan is an easier clean up and will continue to cook this way until it makes more sense to use the provided racks for a specific type of food. I use the cooker's rack like I do oven racks. I've charred three halved zucchinis with the steaks on two occasions and I am absolutely blown away by the flavor of everything.I marinate my steaks for a half hour in cold beer and then pat them dry and sprinkle with a combination of brown sugar, seasoned salt, and black pepper. I then let them sit at room temp for 45 minutes and then broil them in this cooker for about 4 minutes, turning the steaks every sixty seconds until charred to my liking. The fat chars very quickly - in less than a minute - but I continue cooking at full blast about 2.5-inches from the heat source on the fourth rack down from the top until it is more evenly charred and then probe to check for temp - it's perfect somehow each time at 135 degrees. I brush with melted butter, season with fresh coarse black pepper and cover with foil to rest five minutes. Such a great flavor and oh so tender. Perfect steak.Prior to this cooker, I would never think of using a gas grill - only grill over charcoal and wood - but the char produced here rivals anything that charcoal or wood has been able to produce and I believe it's the char that brings the flavor I am really loving. I may cold-smoke some steaks prior to broiling later but as good as these have been, I wonder if I even need to. Thought about sous vide as I have done it the past prior to searing, with results like this in four minutes, what's the point? These steaks are more tender than sous vide and searing.The zucchini I cook along side the steaks on the same rack/pan or on a similar separate set up and while they are perfectly charred they are a bit al-dente but perfect to me. I season them simply with olive oil and sea salt. I've since searched the internets for foods that are better when charred and expect to do a lot more with this cooker than just steaks and zucchini although if I find that all I could ever cook properly is ribeyes and zucchini I will do it like it were my job for as long as I am able. I love this thing and I only wish I'd found this style of griller years ago. It is so easy and clean to char from above rather than below, where flare ups can make things trickier.I plan to try chicken, fish, brussels sprouts, peppers, and green beans. Maybe pre-cooked cobs of corn? My mind races. I'm glad I saved some money compared to similar units because I jokingly may go broke buying meat to cook in this excellent product. I wish Big Horn Outdoors sold a cover for it so I could just leave it out in the weather, but because it is so lightweight and easy to carry around, I will continue to bring it out of the garage and then put it away after cooling. I will take care of it because I want to keep using it for a long time. Please get one for yourself and then write a review describing your excellent ideas of what can be cooked in it.One final note - the unit is packaged so thoughtfully. They figured out how to ship it without damage, unlike a lot of BBQ equipment I've had shipped to myself. I hesitate to buy grilling equipment online because of some horrible experiences, but with this one you can expect it to arrive in good condition.

I've always been disappointed making steak on my grill because I can only get it to about 450, which bakes a steak but doesn't really sear it.This gas broiler is the hottest thing I have ever had. It really is comparable in performance to a commercial broiler used by upscale steak houses. It produces so much heat that you have to put your steak on the lower levels because the top will just burn the meat in under a minute.I go about halfway down and then flip the steak several times and I've got medium rare in about 5-6 minutes max.Cleanup is super easy -- the parts that need to be cleaned are easily removable and made of stainless steel, so they go in the dishwasher. Build quality seems good. I'm not leaving it outside, but it's worked trouble free for six months and doesn't show any wear.The one caveat is the size -- it will sear only one steak at a time. If you're making for a group, you may want the larger size model. But this thing is incredible for the price.

Bought this for my husband for Father's Day and he's obsessed! Cooks steaks in minutes. Perfect for a family on the go with busy schedules to cook real food in half the time. Better than an air fryer with better distribution of heat.

This thing is amazing for the money. I grabbed it for $159 worth every penny. I use it at least three times a week. Steak never comes out as good just grilling iron a traditional gas grill it doesn’t get hot enough to sear it like the Big Horn does. I have cooked raw steaks seasoned with salt only and they come out great but I prefer to use refrigerated Sous vide steaks for that perfect doneness and put the steak in for 30-45 seconds each side. So I saw the Big Horn infrared grill after I started looking at the $1,500 ones that was just a little unrealistic for my needs. I saw this one on sale for $159 usually $199 and the smaller one for $129. After agonizing over the potential endless arguments with my wife over buying another toy I bit the bullet and got the bigger one.My steaks are 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and cook them souse vide for 3 hours at 115F then toss them in the refrigerator overnight. When I put them in the Big Horn it is 45 seconds on one side let it sit a minute the 45 seconds on the other for the most tender medium rear steak with a beautiful caramelized crust. My wife likes her steak medium barely any red/pink. It’s 90 seconds each side and let it sit at bottom of grill while I do mine. I have had it a month now and I usually just leave the grill in for five minutes after done and it burns the grease to ash. I wrote to the manufacturer because they seemed a little discolored and they sent me replacement grates within a few days to my door. Great product service and awesome grill. You will love it. I am surprised there are not more of these type of products it makes quick work of outdoor grilling.
