Popular reviewer Gear Diary, with his 9.1K subscribers, recently took on the task of putting the Big Horn® 1500F Infrared Gas Propane Grill to the test. He hooked it up to a standard propane tank, explaining that the grill is capable of cooking all kinds of food, from steaks to a pizza.
Key Features and Design
The heat source is located right at the top of the grill. It even comes with a pizza stone, which is a big plus for pizza lovers. The grill features a nice, wide cooking area, and he planned to cook two steaks at a time. The unit has two actual grills that slide in and out, and the included tool is handy for this task, ensuring you don't burn yourself.
Easy Maintenance and Cleaning
The grill is very easy to use, thanks to a grease pan and a small heat deflector. The unit is beautiful and made entirely of stainless steel, which makes it easy to clean. When you're done cooking, you can simply take all the parts out. They lift straight out and are all dishwasher safe, or can be washed in the sink. After drying, the grill is ready for the next cook.
User-Friendly Operation
The grill is actually really easy to use. The reviewer mentioned that his family was excited about it because they were looking forward to some good steaks. He got everything prepped up and noted that starting the grill is very easy. It has a standard knob that you turn, and it requires a AAA battery for the starter. After pushing the button, you can hear it and see that it was heated up quickly. The different heights also allow for control over how much you want to sear your food.
Cooking Demonstration: New York Strips & Stuffed Mushrooms
The cooking demonstration started with a couple of New York strips from a local beef supplier. A temperature gauge was used, aiming for a medium-rare finish at 135°F. With the grill fired up, the steaks were put on, cooking for a couple of minutes. You can see the flames coming down and touching the meat. The plan was to let them get to about 100°F, check the crust, then flip and slide them back in. The sizzling sound confirmed that the cooking process was underway.
Fast and Even Cooking
The grill cooks quickly, and the reviewer was impressed by the char on the first side of the steak. He flipped them over, and the first side was perfectly done.
The New York strips came out looking great. While waiting on the ribeye, some spinach and mozzarella stuffed mushrooms were also cooked. The char on the steak was impressive. After letting the steaks rest a little bit, they were ready to go.
Next, a big ribeye was cooked. It was started a little lower since it was a larger piece of meat. The mushrooms were pretty much ready to come off and looked delicious.
A Delicious Meal and Easy Cleanup
The final meal was ready to be served, with a perfect char and medium-rare steaks. The mushrooms came out "amazing" with the cheese melted perfectly. The grill is easy to cook with, and each steak took about 3 or 4 minutes, with the larger ribeye taking a little longer. You just have to gauge the temperature and the amount of char you like. He stated that this grill cooks a perfect, juicy steak every time.
Conclusion: Be the Grill Hero
Ultimately, the reviewer was impressed by how the Big Horn® 1500F consistently delivered a perfect, juicy steak with minimal effort. The grill's ease of use and consistent results made it a standout product. He concluded his review by recommending the propane grill to anyone looking to be "the hero at the grill," and a definite must-see！
