I've had blow outs using MDF with the Kreg Jig and their screws. I too was
skeptical, and used some off cuts first (thankfully) and ended up going with
biscuits. Of course, perhaps it was me just tightening too much, but I did
it the same way I always used my Kreg Jig.

Yes. Glue the joint and use course screws and the wood will break before
the
joint does. Yes, I have done this. My favorite method for this kind of
construction uses biscuits with pocket screw between them. No sliding when
you screw them together and seriously strong joints. If you don't have a
biscuit joiner though, the screws alone will do the job.

I am planning to build a built in set of drawers using melamine MDF
panels.
Is this material suitable for use with the Kreg pocket hole system?
