Is this item suitable for using to semi-cook my meat e.g red meat mutton,beef,etc.?

This burner works just like any other burner on an electric stove. You turn it on, set the heat level and go from there. My burner has been very reliable and I am well satisfied with it.

I believe so. We haven't used it for meat yet, but it's pretty sturdy so far! I'd probably suggest boneless chicken strips/pieces to be more efficient.

We have used this machine to "cube" cuts of steaks. We run the meat through a second time, which makes it even more tender. I expect you could do stew meat with it. It may work with smaller pieces of meat. Might be worth a try.'

I've used it to broil steaks, so hotdogs and hamburgers should work. We use ours for everything from baking cookies to cooking main courses.

I think if the meat was already cooked it would be fine. I've not cooked non rice dishes in it yet. My daughter makes steel cut oats in it and it comes out great.

I have only used this once, and it was for steak. I don't think it would solve your problem. Get a tenderizing hammer, or a gizmo that looks like you are puncturing the meat with 20 little razorblades to break down the texture. No advice on cookbooks.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. The pan is made of aluminum and can't take a lot of heat. I'm not sure what cut of meat you want to sear, but you'll find that stainless steel pans (All-Clad), or cast iron perform better for searing. Head on over to amazing ribs dot com for some great techniques for cooking meat.

Possibly, but I would buy a meat grinder for that purpose. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=meat+grinder

sure, you can. I preheat the pot on medium heat and cook meat for a few minutes with the cover off to brown.

For things like deglazing the roasting pan to make gravy for a short period of time, yes. I wouldn't use it to cook things in, however. Note that I use a gas stove - harder to do this with electric.

So long as you sear your meat prior to placing it in the roaster it should work. Personally I use my crock pot for post roasts because the roaster is so large. Just remember you can't use cooking bags in the roaster either.

I use it for logs like mini meat loafs and summer sausage seasoning, as well as drying for jerky. I feel that if the meat is thin sliced and the spice and cure is made into a concentrated liquid marinade with some water and marinated for a few hours, I expect it would work good. I like using ground meat as there is considerably less strain on the teeth, but ground still provides firm strips when dried.

I really doubt it. It's perfect for steaks and burgers though. Fun cooking over the fire too!

Not really. for Pork Chops or a roast it works best if you brown it on the stove..it also helps to seal the meat juices in...

Yes, You can cook meat in it. There are recipes in the booklet enclosed. I never attempted cooking or pureeing meat though. But the cooking/pureeing component is easily cleaned so cooking (steaming) and then pureeing meat would be just as easy and fruit and veggies.

Yes. I use it to brown meat even when I'm not pressure cooking. I like it because it doesn't spatter all over.

Yes you can, I've used mine for cooking bulk sausage into pattys and I've also cooked eggs in it.
