Q: Where does the fat from hamburgers drain?

It doesn’t. As far as a mess, just keep a plate under it. Honestly, I like that it doesn’t drain. Cooking in that fat makes it tastes better and less likely to burn.

Q: Is this easy to clean? Can it be immersed?

Dragons3.....I have found it extremely easy to clean. NO, it can NOT be immersed. I personally use select-a-size paper towels to clean my unit each time I use it. Immediately after removing my food I unplug the unit then use one small paper towel to wipe it down. I then I take that same paper towel and rinse it with soapy water and while still damp (not dripping) I lay it in the unit and close the lid and allow it to 'steam clean' for about 20 seconds. I then discard that towel, and use a fresh one dampened and wipe the unit to 'rinse' it. The unit is still 'hot' at this point....I use tongs to hold the wet paper towel. After rinsing, I use one last small paper towel to dry the unit, then set it aside 'open' to cool. I 'never' use spray of any kind on my unit and have had no problems with foods sticking. It's really a great little gadget. I also have the Dash Mini Waffle Maker....absolutely perfect together! Mine get a lot of use....highly recommend both.

Q: Can it cook steak? How can you tell when it's medium rare?

Fortunately, you can cook steak on a griddle whatever the model you have available. In fact, cooking steak on a griddle is no more difficult than cooking it in a frying pan or on the barbecue. So, however you like to eat it, delicious and juicy steak can be just a few minutes away if you own a griddle
