Hi to all.
Indoor Gril vs. Electric Broiler : which of the two will produce the
better medium-rare T-Bone? Also, any brand recomendations? Are they any
better than the regular broiler compartment in an old fashioned gas range?.
Thanks in advance.

Many people believe that the best way to cook a steak indoors is in a cast
iron pan, searing on the stove top and finishing in a hot oven. You might
want to try that before investing in a broiler.

They are absolutely right. I tried it once and is one of the best steaks
ever !! However in my case is very impractical. I live in a small Apt. in
N.Y. and the amount of smoke was incredible.
So again, I'd like to hear the opinion of some of you ladies or gents. who
are using either the Electric Broiler or the Indoor Grill. TIA

IMO, they will give off as much smoke as a hot pan. Maybe you overdid
something? Did you use any oil in the pan? That would smoke up, but it is
not needed. I don't think the broiler gets hot enough to properly cook a
steak. Any grill that is worth using will smoke as much as a well heated CI
pan.

Got a vent-hood? And if you oiled the pan, don't use too much. If it's
well-seasoned cast iron it won't need much, if any, oil.

Better yet, lightly oil the meat and leave the pan dry. Even less smoke.

As a matter of fact it was cast iron, well seasoned (almost twenty years
old) and of course no oil. Living in an apt., no vent-hood. But windows open
and the fan on. Still, tons of smoke. But the steak... one of the best ever!
Actually not much different than one grilled outdoors.

I don't know about living in an apartment in NY but I live in one down south
and it has a vent hood. Anyway, less oil.

We have an indoor grill. It's rectangular open top grill with a small
griddle on one end. It does create smoke some of which can be
controlled by adding water to the base. It does a decent job, IMO.
With this style, be sure to disarm your smoke detector. We very seldom
use it as we have a gas barbeque outside just off the kitchen. I'd be
interested in hearing how much smoke the George Foreman style produces.
On of our kids lives in an apartment and can't have a propane or
charcoal barbeque. We were thinking of a George Foreman for ease of use
to give similar effects as barbequing.
