How thick a steak or chop will fit?

It adjusts to any thickness! If you are cooking more than one steak or chop, they should be boneless and uniform thickness. When we cook boneless chicken breasts, we pound the thicker part down a little to make them more uniform. But you can cook 1" steaks or bigger, if you like! We love it!!

The grill will adjust to the thickness of the item that you are cooking. I have cooked steaks 1 1/2" to 2".Lois Barber

The thickest I've prepared is about 3/4" but I think it could go a bit thicker. However, if you are doing more than one steak or chop, make sure they are all the same thickness if you want them to cook at the same rate.

It expands pretty wide. I have not tried a steak, we like ours on the outside grill. Makes great burgers though. I think the thickness shown in the picture attached is pretty accurate for the distance between the plates. I think you could get a 2-3 inch steak.

Nope. Not deep or long enough. I do not agree with previous that you can use this as a steak knife. The set is awesome, very shiny and heavy. I do love it. I'm starting to get a little marks on the knives but Onida explained that on something I read before I bought these.

My steaks may be 2" thick - but not these grates. They are about as thick as the OEM grates they replace - no problem.

Just measuring a 7-1/4" Blade at max Depth it looks like 2-7/16". I haven't tried to cut anything thicker than that and then measure the cut to know more accurately.

A 5" piece will fit under the blade, but I wouldn't feel safe cutting anything thicker than 3 1/2".

Barely, but yes. It will be a good snug fit, which will make slicing much easier.

I house a Victorinox 8 inch chef's knife and a Henckels Santoku in a 6-8 inch blade-safe. Both fit fine.

Would be too thick if you used the knife to guide. I don't have the knife anymore because of that- wasn't useful for cutting even slices.

It will be very snug. The 5 1/2 inches would be the snug part. There is no protection from the rivets to the cutting edge.

It is small which we like because we are only 2 people -- maybe 12 by 10 by 6. I can measure it tomorrow if you want a more exact dimension. Probably 2 strip steaks or maybe 4-6 lamb chops.

I sliced an onion on both settings. The thick slices were 7 mm (1/4"), and the thin slices were 2 mm (less than 1/8").

The maximum food length (from the instruction manual) is 9". The manual also states that 'large food items like roasts and slabs of bacon' need to be cut into smaller pieces before slicing.

The wood is 1 1/4" thick. Cannot be used as a chopping block but looks lovely

I just went to Cold Steel web site and they say it is 3/16 of an inch thick and I measured the top flat edge of my knife and it is 3/16 of an inch thick.

The widest part of the handle on the large chef's knife is about one inch thick. If you are just using a plain magnetic strip I don't think they hold well. If using one in a wooden base, I would give it a go. You need at least 1/2 inch clearance for the knives to sit properly. I keep mine in an old knife block, but the handles are so thick that I can't use the slot designed for each knife. Wish OXO made a knife block for them. OXO knives have always been some of the sharpest and long lasting that I have ever owned.

It is not a quarter inch thick. You are thinking of the esee 5 by Rowen. Jeff randall knife

I have knives with a 10+ inch blade that fit, with id guess a 4 inch handle.
