Can you really grill food like steak and chicken in your microwave using the Range Mate Pro? I put it to the test with several different types of food and the results were surprising.

The reason the chicken tenders didn't brown is because you crowded the pan. They tend to steam when crowded together. Spread out they grill to a golden brown.

Thank you so much for this review. I purchased one when they first came out on QVC. I have carried it in the microwave in my truck (I'm a truck driver). I misplaced the instruction book, and couldn't remember what I was suppose to do. Was getting ready to take it out and to the goodwill. Then I saw your review. Have been using it a whole lot now. Loving it. The buttered toast is great. Now I can take a few of my other cooking supplies out of the truck.

As a Chef of 25 years I think I know why the chicken tenders didn’t brown. Crowding the pan causes steam. The steam will not allow the maillard reaction to happen. Also, any time you cook a protein pat it dry. The excess moisture on the protein causes steam. Steam causes gray colored proteins and zero maillard.

The very first microwave ovens were designed to be used with thin aluminum cookware. I have some manuals from the early 60's that emphasize the superior browning you can get with the metal pans in the microwave. People kept using the wrong pans and so the industry just said screw it and began marketing a whole new line of cookware.

@meaturama I hate to break it to you but you're dead wrong. I will happily make a video for you if you don't believe it. When you pan-sear or grill steak, the outside is MUCH hotter than the middle. Ever heard of homeostasis? The temperature will eventually balance out and the middle will get hotter, long after you take it off the grill or out of the pan. Just 2 days ago I pan-seared a couple of steaks using a meat thermometer. I took the steaks out of the pan but kept the thermometer in. My steak's internal temperature went from 121°F to 140°F *while sitting on a cool plate*. Like I said, it's because the outer part of the steak was actually much hotter than 140° as it was sitting directly on 400°F cast iron for several minutes. The outside did get cooler over time but the inside got hotter.
@DimT670
@DimT670 4 жыл бұрын
@meaturama the outer part of the steak is hotter then the inside, because it's in contact with the pan or other very high temp surface. As it rests that heat transfers to the inside. This is why you have a grey ring when you sear steaks as well.
@evanjohnson1299
@evanjohnson1299 4 жыл бұрын
@meaturama the desired done-ness is dependent on internal temp. The exterior is hotter than that temp, once removed from heat the external and internal temp will equalize if timed right that will hit the desired temp on the nose. You should always pull meat 5 degrees lower so the carry over will bring internal temp to desired level(Poultry is 165f, medium rare around 130f)

Well I might not get a full size fridge and have to get groceries more often, but after a week of trial test at home, I can basically cook what I want to in my hotel microwaves if all the full kitchens are gone, might anyway, it's so easy.

I've loved my two styles of Rangemate Pro for a couple of years, since our city banned even electric grills on our condo balconies. The more rectangular one is what I use for Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, laying the bread facing each other, so that I can flip one right over the other in the pan. Shredded cheese melts very well for these.

It does not come with a glass lid as your Range Mate, but as you said, who needs it. It does offer the feature of being a microwave 'contact' grill that the Range Mate does not seem to offer. It also comes with a 4 section (cup) silicone tray to make muffins, etc. Nonetheless, your video is really helpful and informative to me. THANKS DUDE!!!

Downside is that everything you made would've been faster with an oven or a real grill IMO, but it's great for certain ppl. Perfect for dorm rooms. The grilled chicken breasts looked really good. best thing I've ever used for cooking rice is an instant pot.

I highly recommend trying a panini press over a Foreman grill. They're basically the same shit, with the exception that a Foreman is angled to drain grease better, and a panini press is WAY cheaper. As far as the (actually PATENTED) draining angle on the Foreman goes, I like my grease, so that's a negative point for me. If you're a fatass, eat less/better instead of hoping a Foreman grill angle will magically make you slim down.

@Aviator168 If I'm doing steak it goes on the grill or in a pre-heated cast iron pan to sear on the stove and to finish in the oven. I've yet to try any other appliance that does steak properly. The panini press does a great job on other stuff though.

Freakin' Reviews I have own the original and love it. I also got it less at QVC as it was a closeout. Worth the money because you can use everyday and great for dorms or in hotels plus home. It is easy to clean. I do not have the fancy handle but if leans back it is brilliant as it will catch the water and steam on the inside cover and not on your counter. Really like this appliance

You over-filled the container with the chicken tenders. When you do that they will steam instead of grill. That’s probably why they were so white. Even when using conventional cooking DO NOT CROWD the pan.

Sure if you're using aluminum or something else that can't retain heat. If you heat up a nice cast iron pan you can pack that baby to the brim without significant heat loss and sear the crap out of your food. I only recently switched to cast iron and I can't believe what a huge difference it is. My 12" teflon pan can't even take 3 whole chicken breasts without making browning impossible while my 10" cast iron skillet happily browned 4 whole thighs like it was nothing (hell I almost burned them).

Really enjoy your reviews. You get right to the point, show the important steps and information and you generally adhere to manufacturer instructions. Unlike one reviewer who trashes products when he is more like a bull in a china shop, completely ignoring manufacturer instructions and then blaming his shortcomings on the product. It's kind of a waste of time to watch that guy but you are always factual, unbiased and informative.

@Pokakana

Yep, Getting the time down was the issue but worked well. The steak was about an inch thick and cooked from frozen. I like my steak medium rare pushing the rare side. I followed the directions in the book and it seems that doubling the initial cooking times for frozen works but also depends on the steak thickness. I just did 2 pork chops about 1 1/2 inches thick each. 6 minutes each side then 3 minutes each side then another 2 minutes each side. Total 22 minutes. Came out excellent. I have a cowboy rib eye I am going to try. It is a 3 1/2 inch thick monster. Also did a grilled cheese sandwich and came out really good!!, added some Pepperoni to it. AWESOME!!! Now am trying to figure out fish sticks and stuffed bell peppers. Throw any other food ideas NOT in the supplied cook book out here. AM parking my Farberware grill !!! Range Mate is a winner so far!!!

After seeing the youtube video, I was skeptical, looked promising, so I decided to buy this to expand my microwave cooking, especially during COVID Shelter in Place. I bought a microwave for my small private office. I am amazed at how well it cooks, the crispiness, and grill marks!!! I have cooked eggs and bacon, hamburgers, and chorizo egg so far and am so happy to enhance my cooking with a microwave during COVID when I cant use the office kitchen. If you are looking to cook with your microwave, then you must have this tool. I may be wroing but I dont think you can cook food like this in the microwave without it. I would give it a 9 out of 10. The only issue I have is that you cant dishwash and submerse in the water because of the holes so I wonder about the best cleaning conditions. Otherwise, happy with this product, fast delivery and value.
