when cooking ground beef/hamburger, where does the grease go?

I have not tried to cook meat in it yet. I imagine the grease will drip out the sides into the fire, it`s gotta go someplace!

We brown our hamburger in a fry pan prior to putting spoonfuls of it between the bread slices to make our pudgy pies in the pie iron. We drain the grease from the fry pan; therefore, there is no grease to deal with when we put it in the pie iron. Usually, we make a sloppy joe-type mixture instead of just using plain ground beef for our sandwich.

You don't cook raw meat. It is used to make sandwiches with leftover meats like hamburger, chicken, meatballs, etc. It keeps any ketchup or barbecues sauce in place because of the seal with the bread.

Very easy to clean. The pan catches all the grease. I just use a regular pan scrubber or steel wool pad to clean it. It makes amazing tasting burgers and steaks.

no! kitchen type grease can be removed with TSP, then rinsed and painted over. Plain old scuff marks, etc can be, especially with an oil based primer.

I don't remember if ours had any grease on it but as a rule I just clean everything before I use it.

yes it cooks it out of the grease, I will tell you though I love the pan, the only thing that is a little annoying is I use ground beef which has more fat, my sides of the meatloaf sometimes stick. I have remedy though, I spray the pan and insert with non stick cooking spray. It is much better now. My husband said this pan has brought him back to eating meatloaf.

There is a location where grease is to drain. The grill comes with a cup to catch the grease. You can also use a soup or vegetable can. That's the only location where grease comes out of the grill that we have seen.

Most probably come with grease but I always pump grease in just to be sure. With most things that have grease fittings, you can't get too much grease. The excess comes out the seal. That's the way you know when it's fully greased.

The grease works well with multiple types of food, especially when frying one appetizer after another. However, I would not use the grease for two separate strong smelling foods that aren't normally served together. For instance, use fish grease with caution when frying other food.....and this is only if you don't use the divider. Otherwise, with the divider in place, it really doesn't matter. The food always turns out great.

Haven't used it since last football season and I usually cook steaks, but I would guess about 6-8 burgers would be about right (If you make your own, more if they are store bought). Depending on how you laid them out on the burners, only half the burner has the "grates" so the grease wouldn't drip off as easily, but it's never really been a problem for me. The "solid" part of the grate has come in helpful though when cooking other things as it works like a mini griddle. But you can try to find close up pictures of the grates to see what I'm talking about. Hope that long winded answer helped.

You can cook gravy. The grease channel is just a little dip along one side of the grill where liquid can pool. I used mine to make a pot roast, a big pan of scrambled eggs, etc.

When the unit arrives it is not lubricated with oil or grease. I always store the bearings and blades in food grade oil. The first little bit of the ground meat has black residue from the bearing. This is normal. I always discard that portion. I am not sure as to whether it would be ok to consume or not, but it doesn't look appealing. Hope this helps.

You need to use a spoon to get it out. There is no way to pour it. Its kinda messy pouring the grease in but i still like it. Its agood size and works well for me.

I placed the grease in a glass tupperware and stored it in the refrigerator. I did not use the container it came in because the containers came with it partly leaked. I just placed my second order and am hoping they fixed the packaging issue.

It is very easy to remove grease. It is a disposable tin pan, they sell them in stores, it's made by Weber.

Most likely as it clips inside the rectangular hole where the grease drains. It replaces the rectangular frame that held the drip pan which in my case rusted and broke off leaving the grease to get in the bottom of the metal cabinet and caused corrosion to occur. This peace was an easy and inexpensive fix for me.

I use green cleaner products, (Go Green), leave for some minutes and then clean with a cotton rag, put a lot of newspaper under to catch the fallen grease, rinse with water and burn a charcoal to burn any leftover.

In the image it shows the tray, that entire open area is where it allows the grease to enter in. I find sometimes the grease will still pool up on the griddle but if you tilt it, it will flow easily in to the drip tray.
