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

Excellent for an intense sear after using our small convection/toaster oven for the reverse sear method. Using a wireless probe (only while in the oven! They can't handle the BigHorn's heat), I get extremely consistent results with very little fuss. This is now my favorite method even after perfecting my cast iron skillet technique, sous vide, blow torches, searzall, flame thrower, lump charcoal, wood (these last two being my favorites if I have plenty of time), you name it, I've obsessed over it and done it well. Prefer my steaks at home now to 8 out of 10 steakhouses. Takes up little space, uses minimal amount of propane, easy to clean by simply placing grate and tray in the dishwasher.

Easy to setup, but I don't bother with the ignitor and just use a butane torch. After a couple uses I clean it with bar keepers friend, if you mix it correctly and let it past up doesn't leave any scratches. Still learning how to use it. The back burner glows red and the front one does not but creates a crust all the same. Will give a update if I ever figure out what happened.

The media could not be loaded. The pros are it heats up quick I can light it by the time I smear out of burger patty and get ready to grill it's hot. It's Sears quickly without overcooking in the center I like a very rare burger or steak and unlike most gas grills that will overcook before it gets a good sear this unit definitely has the power and the heat and an even heat to sear a steak or a burger and leave the inside juicy and rare.The stainless seems to be a pretty high quality stainless I'm using this on the deck of my boat in the cockpit in a saltwater Marina I leave it outside 24/7 when I'm ready to cook I step outside I light it up I go inside I get my meat ready I come out I cook it and then I shut it off and I leave it there and there's no noticeable rust only a little discoloring where the heat flows out of the front but not resting even there very impressed with thatToo significant cons that I dislike and would like to see remedied is the ignition is kind of a pain in the butt it's hard to tell whether it's going to stay lit or not I generally have to light it and hold in the button for a solid 30 seconds and it seems kind of ridiculous that the electronic spark is going that whole time there should be a gas on button and then a separate button for the igniter so that you're not wasting all the sparking but I guess that's just a pet peeve of mine but it is hard to tell whether it's been on long enough that it'll stay lit or not I think there's some room for improvement thereThe other aspect that is kind of a pain in the butt is that the grease tray is not really big enough it doesn't take much grease if you're cooking for a few people or if you don't clean out the grease tray each and every time it will overflow and then it goes all over the place it is kind of a pain in the butt to clean up if it had a deeper and wider grease tray maybe that drained the grease out into a catch pan or a catch cup that was easy to empty that'd be a lot betterIn general if you like a good crispy sear without overcooking in the middle having it very rare someone even say raw in the center of a thicker steak this is the best bang for the buck it's like 1/10 of the price of the top of the line units and it seems to cook just as well I use this probably 3 to 5 times a week when I'm on my boat for the for dinner and I've been using it now for a couple of months and I don't see me stopping using it I just need to figure out a better way to deal with all of the grease that comes out of it

This makes steak preparation very easy. Previously, I would preheat a cast-iron skillet for several minutes and add some ghee or tallow, sear the steak, then have to let the skillet cool and find a way to dispose of the used oil. Now I turn this broiler on, immediately cook the steak on one side for 90 seconds, flip it over, and cook the other side for 90 seconds. Then I turn it off. So simple, so efficient. Uses MUCH less propane and has almost no mess. I predict I'll sear 30 steaks before I need to clean the drip tray at the bottom. Even then, it's stainless steel, so it will be a two-minute process.

Best steaks I ever had

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.

I love this Outside 1500 degrees boiler I put my steak on the rack 2 an a half minutes I flip it and do the same on the other side and it's just like I love it. I highly recommend it.

Gave it to my son for Christmas today, turned it on to cook some steaks, got it to temp, went inside the get the steaks and when I got back outside i noticed there was no heat but I heard the gas running.The propane hose melted itself off and the button melted itself.
