Is "grill" the same as "broil"? Can you toast bread for example?

Grill is more like broil. Technically you could toast but it would be one sided.

The element on the top of the oven gets red/hot. I guess it could be used for toasting. I have done tomatoes with parmesan cheese, and steaks but have never done toast. The element seems a little far from the rack, about 6 inches. I love the unit!

I never tried toasting bread but I grilled many times. It grills chicken very well. This machine is amazing.

I have never used "broil" but grill is fine. I crisp up day old deep fried shrimp. I have never tried to toast bread but some of the other reviewers have suggested you use your toaster. I have had this unit since about June 10th of 2011 and am very pleased with it. I would buy it again.

You can toast Bagels, English muffins. I also do the frozen Texas Toast it's wide and it works great. Hope this helped.

If you have the same model, the backside if the plates is smooth so the cooked bread won't have the "famous" grill marks but it should work nicely. Just watch the cook time.

I think not, I do not like this like I thought, I bought for grilled cheese, and of course in the bag in toaster, the bread is dry. It is just as easy to get a fry pan and make the good buttered outside grilled cheese. Maybe for a quick toasted tuna salad sandwich...but I have not tried that. I washed by hand, but that is easy enough to do and would not be a big deal. Maybe for your use you might love it.

Not really -- just put all the coals in one section of the grill. You'd probably want to do this even when cooking for a larger group -- make a banked fire. You can do your grilling directly over the coals in order to get a good char on steaks and burgers, and use the side away from the coals for cooking at a lower temperature (for thick cuts) and furthest away as a warming area until serving.

The difference from grill to grill is the fan adapter that connects it to the grill and the size of the fan itself. If you go direct to the bbqguru site and add the DigiQ it will ask you to select a color and then will show you the exact package to match up with your grill. Here is a link... http://store.thebbqguru.com/weborderentry/catalog2.asp?catalog=BBQ%20Guru%20Controls%20Systems It is a great product.

:) you can grill anything on the Foreman grill...simply preheat, place in on the bott plate (size will dictate if you can do more than one leg quarter at a time-) and shut the lid. Very easy! You will need to adjust timing for bigger and thicker meats-just use your meat thermometer. Happy cooking!

No. It is a simple model. Why pay for something that really isn't needed. They way it cooks is the best feature and the temperature settings, and setting the toast, bake, broil are simple and they work extremely well. The tray slides out, use oven mitts and put it on a surface that can handle the temperature.

You can toast things that don't fit in a toaster just use broil and use the top rack slot to toast one side at a time.RickS

YES! I've broiled lots of proteins with this thing but usually right before serving to crisp things up a bit. If you want to do broil steaks, I suggest broiling in a cast iron skillet instead due to the skillet's ability to maintain and evenly distribute heat.

No. Both elements are very close. This is however a great grill! Highly recommended

Yes you can, it is a great product. I love it. this grill is very good for chicken, meat and fish. it worth it to spend the money on it. It is a good investment.

You can, but you don't need to. I love these because when I go away for the weekend, I can still have toast or grilled cheese like everyone else. At home I usually only use them for toast because I can pull out a clean pan/griddle to use.

It doesn't have a toaster feature. Some broil, but I either use a small toaster (got it from Wal-Mart for about $7 a few years ago for camping) or I use a skillet on the stove and heat it up really hot and then add the bread and flip it (like tortillas being warmed) until it's as brown as I like. I figure this was only $79.99 and I shouldn't complain since I'm the one that missed that it never claimed to toast.

Yes, I've made grilled cheese sandwiches, and they were good. I've also made garlic toast, and it was very good.

Broil King is the brand name. The word "broil" has nothing to do with how this unit operates. This is a warming tray. It is not intended for cooking. However, I feel that if you set food right on it (i.e. bread, rolls, etc.) it would get hot enough to affect your food. I recommend having food in bowls or plates while placing onto the tray. But this unit is not meant for cooking food.
