Ribs & Roasted Peppers On An ELECTRIC GRILL!!! 

It actually is quite good, I'm really surprised. I'd never buy one as I can have a real barbecue, but it actually does work. The only problem is it takes a long time to get up to temperature, and a long time to recover once opening the lid. That's of course to be expected by something that uses 120 volts; there's only so much power you can push through a wire.

Thanks very much! These ribs are outrageous, so let me grant your wish--here is the recipe: allrecipes.com/recipe/232681/char-siu-chinese-bbq-pork/?internalSource=hn_carousel%2001_%20Char%20Siu%20(Chinese%20BBQ%20Pork)&referringId=1901&referringContentType=recipe%20hub&referringPosition=carousel%2001

It has its place and purpose. For me, if a gas grill or charcoal grill is permitted to be used, it should.

I'm sure that would probably work. If, for whatever reason, you needed to turn the heat down though, those rocks are going to hold that heat pretty good, so you'd have to leave the lid open, or find a way to prop it open a bit.

Thanks William!

The owner of this grill uses a large washbucket, puts in soap and water, and lets it soak for an hour, then uses a nylon bristle brush to scrub it. Me, I'd use a real wire bristle BBQ brush. The porcelain coating burns off the first time you use it, so there's nothing to worry about scraping off.

I have the same grill ... I take it to the sink and clean it with a wire brush

Not for the taste it doesn't.

your probably right. If it doesn't taste better than you might as well just cook on the stove

I thank you for stopping by!

+wtam69 Yes, 2 of the most tasty ways of cooking. Along with the rotisserie, of course!

It's an electric grill. It's never going to be the same as a real grill. If this is all you can use (due to a condo or apartment or something) it's certainly better than nothing, otherwise get a real grill.

They were good. This thing is low and slow enough...

I know that. I'm not the owner of this grill, and the owner is neurotic, so it stays. But thank you.

Thanks! The ribs cooked until they were "done". Sorry, I don't have a time frame, maybe 8 minutes each side, then another 5 each side. I'm guessing. You'll kinda know when they're done. In fact, I'm going up there today and we're making the same recipe ribs again! The owner of this grill cleans it in a not-so-conventional manner. She has a big plastic tub she fills with water from the hose, adds soap, and lets it sit for an hour. Then she has a nylon scrub brush she uses. Personally, I'd use a plain old barbecue brush. For my propane grill, I have a really big dual-head brush, it's called something like Monster Grill "Bull" brush. Google it. Buy it. You won't be sorry. In fact I'll have a video about it in a few weeks!

Probably better outside.

Thanks, you're not the first one to tell me that! They must be from Dirty Jersey.

Well I recorded this video 5 years ago, so tough for me to remember. I don't own it either, it's a family member's. As for times, you should never rely on time for any cooking method. Even bake something in the oven, they tell you at 350° for 30 minute and yours comes out not done enough, or worse yet, burnt? That's a matter of you just cooking. Some people like their ribs a little more well done, or a little less well done. Your best method would be an instant-read thermometer. As for what temperature to set the grill to, remember, this is an electric grill, so it's SLOW. When you open the lid, you lose a lot of heat, and it takes a while to come back up to temperature. So my recommendation, which is what I generally do at home on my gas grill, is to set it to high and not worry about it. Certain recipes will dictate turning it down, and certain things I make I like to cook "low and slow", so in those cases, I'll turn the grill down. As with any new cooking appliance, the first few times you use it will always be experimental, but after a few uses, you'll get the hang of it and be producing good eats, time after time.

@@jaykay18 Thanks Jay! All great points, and, I'll give it a shot. I cooked some Zucchini on it already came out great, but, you are right. I did lose heat when I opened to flip. I'm prepping a "test" burger now, and, will see how it turns-out.

@@ColeYounger16 Sure, no problem! If there's one thing I learned in the last 15 years grilling, never overcook stuff. I also give the "5° rule", meaning if a meat is to cook to 160°, cook it to about 155°. Always let the meat rest for 5 minutes after coming off the grill. It will gain the extra 5 degrees on its own and finish itself. This will give you the juiciest meats, and I don't know who doesn't like that!

@@jaykay18 thanks my friend I’m a new subscriber 👌🏻

@@ColeYounger16 Thank you very kindly!

Thanks.

It has its uses. For me, I command a large gas grill.

Try watching the video.

That's pretty low, it's in the FIRST FIVE SECONDS of the video.

I could only imagine why!

This isn't my grill. I have a gas grill, always have. I've never owned a charcoal grill, so I can't really comment on the "charcoal grill taste". The wood chips certainly didn't hurt any, in fact they did help some, but if you're really looking for smoky taste, get a smoker.

@@jaykay18 you act like it's your grill. Is it you talking?

It's me talking, and me cooking. I've been grilling for a long time.

I honestly don't see why not.

The few times I'm up at this house, it's rather surprising how good of a job it does, each and every time. I have a propane grill myself; I don't have time to mess with charcoal.

+Michael Gegzno You're better off with that for winter time, you have a virtually unlimited supply of fuel, so it doesn't matter how long it takes to cook as long as you get to eat!

Best thing is, I can watch UT. while grilling off of my left arm. Or a 1/4 turn from the chair to flip.

It's not mine, but from what I hear from the owner, it's working as great as day 1. There's really no maintenance to do, maybe just tighten all the screws that hold it together every once in a while. Cleaning, well, it's a grill. No grill in the entire world will look like it does fresh out of the box once it's cooked on. There's some burnt-on stuff as to be expected.

OK, great, I'd love to hear how they came out!

jaykay18 they came out great

That all depends on what store you go to, and if it's on sale. This video was also recorded over 4 years ago, so pricing could have changed. Regardless, I think you're a fool for buying it for that reason alone.

@@jaykay18 alright thank you very much I'll check online for it yea it should be cheaper

Thank you very kindly!

I don't see why you couldn't.

@@jaykay18 ok thank you. I am thinking about this grill or the George Foreman indoor outdoor grill

I've heard good things about that one as well. Really though, if you're going to grill, the main reason is smoke, as it affords flavors we wouldn't normally get in the kitchen. So if you're really going to grill, grill outside.

@@jaykay18 yes I agree

The video should give you a good indication of that.

@@jaykay18 Exactly, you can tell by the way that it is.

It's cleaned every time. If you've never owned a grill, you wouldn't know it's impossible to keep spotless.

Always, only!

Some places, like apartments, will not allow anything with an open flame, but will allow an electric barbecue. If that's all you can have, then it would have to be good enough. The owner of this house (not myself) considers propane to be too "manly", which makes it bad.
