Just leave them there a little longer and they will be ready to turn as soon as you can move them. You maybe had the heat too high as well. I have used this hot plate a lot now and it is AWESOME to say the least. Cast & mild steel are crap. IMO
Topnotch plates are not straight stainless they are a composite material.

I've tried Topnotch plates. My FIL still uses one........I used it a couple of weeks ago. They display all the traits that they are supposed to resolve.....poor heat retention/distribution, sticking food etc.
My Topnotch plate and SS grill now live in the cupboard under the BBQ.

I'll stay with mild steel, thanks..... :cup: :cup: :cup:

Just giving my impression of the Topnotch product.......sorry if it doesn't suit you.
They're not cheap. I paid good money for it, and I'll call it as I see it........

So, they need a "special technique" to stop food sticking??  ::)..........none needed with mild steel........

Getting a bit defensive about our shiny hot plate, aren't we??...... ;D ;D

Not at all just can't stand to think of good steak being ruined when there is no reason for it. Pre heat the Webber for 10-15 min then reduce heat to low slap those steaks on and if you cant move em dont touch em. When they move flip and repeat = perfect medium cooked steaks. :cheers:

I see I am waisting my time trying to educate you pair. Continue to chase  your beef around the paddock with 2 pieces of bread in hand if you want. I will continue to eat perfectly cooked steak. :cheers:

Agree, to quote 'the cowboy way' (a great movie) whack off it's horns, wipe its nasty a$$ and slap it on a plate!

On a serious side (apart from hotplate) how does everyone find the webbers mainly the baby q  or other brands

It actually depends on the cut and quality of the meat. Sure murder a Coles bargain rump well done, but don't cook a King Island eye fillet anything other than rare or medium rare.

It is each to their own. Me, I'll eat it after its been through an incinerator. I'm not a fussy eater.

I agree with that. Being a Sous Chef ( way back when) I usually had the job of Grill and Sauces, that a Sous Chefs job. I only ever had 3 steaks sent back and you can cook a good well done steak, no matter what you all think.

I reckon your all thinking of the steak that your mates throw on the BBQ during the NRL grand final as being well done - it's not. A well done steak is just not bleeding, it's also not burnt. The time between rare and well done is minutes, not tens of minutes like you tend to see.
