The picture shows french fries and red potatoes cut in half on the grill. Will it cook the potatoes or only keep cooked potatoes warm?

I have not tried this but based on how long it took to melt cheese- way too long!!! I would say that it can only keep potatoes warm.

it might cook them the first time but beware, the metal is very very thin. after the first party i threw it away (i now only have the stone) as it was very bent.

It will keep them warm we usually boil our red potatoes before hand and use the raclette for melting cheese and toasting bread

I have done potatoes wrapped in foil (shiny side in) at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, but I prefer microwaved potatoes with a microwave nail in them (my mother in law gave them to me, apparently coated aluminum if I had to take a guess)

Yes, if you rest the probe on a metal surface you are likely to get the temp. for that surface, Which is not what you want. use the clip that it came with it, or, just slice a fat wedge off a potato and push the probe through until it comes most of the way out the other side, and place this on the grill grate.

This equipment is not for meat. It is intended to cut french fries from potatoes.

If the fries are cut thin I cook for about 6-7min on 375degrees. Thicker may take 8-10 min.

I have not found this to be an issue. When I am slow cooking, I use the two outermost burners with the food in the center of the grill. I can easily maintain temps from 250 to 350 degrees by simply adjusting those two burners. For direct heat cooking, you may want to try using only the one or two burners directly beneath the food.

It's cooking area is not big enough for frozen dinners that are plate like but like burgers and such it will cook. If it is frozen it will talke a while to heat it theoughly. I use it mostly for left overs and it works great.

I have cooked chicken and steaks on it. They were fine just have to watch temp as there is not a lot of space between the grill and heat source

No. it is fine for 1 or 2 people. it is nice for 1 o2 because it has the grill bars are so close together you can be grilling the entree on one side and a side dish of vegetables or partially precooked potatoes on the other. I live alone but have filled the grill with an entire meal of meat, vegetables and potatoes. If you were just cooking burgers it will hold 4 easy and 6 if you put them close together which is not optimal. It is better to space the food apart some. It is one of the smaller grills on the market.

I turn it up to 400 F and it takes about l7 mins. That of course depends on how full the basket is. I also stir them with a spatula half way through. Yam fries are also great and some of the small potatoes quartered are wonderful as well. What I do is to put the potatoes into a plastic bag, drizzle olive oil and a bit a balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with spices before cooking. Enjoy.

I have used the lifter tongs and the smooth pan to cook French fries. Otherwise I have cooked steak, chicken, hamburgers, fish, etc., on the raised wire grill. I really enjoy the Turbo Oven and use it instead of the propane grill almost entirely.

no smoke at all. The only thing would be a little steam other than that the smoker detector won't go off. But don't do what I did, I forgot to pat my potatoes for french fries and because of the dampness the fryer did overflow with grease which is to be expected - but no smoke. I have really been having problems frying DUH!! You will enjoy the fryer a very safe product and honest no smoke. At least I don't have any smoke. Jaw

I tried sweet potatoes and it won't cut them. They are too hard. Big disappointment since I was really wanting sweet potato fries. Someone suggested I microwave them a bit first before trying to cut them. Haven't tried it. Regular potatoes work ok.

Only if you want very thin matchstick type fries. I haven't actually used sweet potatoes but with regular white potatoes I cut them and they got smaller as they baked.

If you follow directions to heat the pad and potatoes are hot when placed in carrier atop the heated pad the potatoes will stay as warm as you would eat them at a restaurant...

I hope that you poke a few holes in your spuds! You're right, it does make the best baked potatoes. Have you tried baking yams in there? They need a few holes too, so that they don't explode.
