The George Foreman Grill-is it worth buying?

[AlCzervik]

???

[SheepyMcSheepster]

1. in my opinion, yes

:D

[blue sky at night]

ya, what those other guys said......

i totally agree, but one note. if you are cooking for a family go ahead and get the big one, or you will have a heck of a time getting them all done at the same time. Great invention, but it is a bit harder to clean than they say. I am a geo and so is my son btw.

[JimmyJazz]

2. oh absolutely

it's great for making grilled cheese sammiches - much better than the iron I used to use :7

No really, it's great.

[GOPisEvil]

19. Hey...I used to cook grilled cheese on my iron in college.

Hey - they'd let us have a fridge, but not a hot plate. :P

[papau]

21. Ever try hot dog and cheese on the radiator?

:-)

[GOPisEvil]

30. Ooooh...no...we were amateurs, I see.

:D

[AlCzervik]

23. hey me too, in prison. that was when i was in Gen pop

now in the hole.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

3. Yes ! Especially if you live alone ...

and if you live alone you save time putting your food on the George Foreman Grill instead of firing up the oven or stove each time .

[AlCzervik]

13. Wow, what good reviews!

there are 3 of us but my husband is away all the time so i mostly cook for just my daughter and i and i'm sick of heating up the whole kitchen for 2 pieces of chicken and the toaster oven and the microwave can't cook everything.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

31. See it would be good for the 3 of you .

May I share my favorite to cook on the George Foreman Grill , hot ham and cheese sandwiches at 2 am are my fave lol . Chicken breast cooks excellent on the George Foreman grill alone with other meats . Ahh its wonderful :)

[AlCzervik]

32. i love grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, also like

grilled cheese, tomato and bacon too. mmmmmbacon

[Winamericaback]

4. Yes

I use mine almost everyday.

I hate cooking, I hate cleaning pans.

All I have to do is put some chicken or steak or whatever on the grill, walk away and in 8 to 10 minutes its done. And then you just wipe off the grill when its done.

Could not be easier.

[mr_hat]

5. We rented a ski condo once that featured a GF grill. >

The owner left such lengthy and worrysome cleaning instructions that we never tried it.

[No Mandate Here.]

6. Especially if you can't grill outdoors all year.

The gas grill is a lot easier to cleam, IMHO.

[XanaDUer]

7. Yes

I thought it was a crock at first, but a friend told be to get one and that I would love it, and I do!

You can grill mushrooms in it, vegetables, it's wonderful.

[flamingyouth]

8. I loved mine

I wore it out, in fact.

[neuvocat]

9. I have one.

It's worth buying one but they can be a pain to clean (at least the older models are. I don't know about the others).

[Rockholm]

10. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rusty charly]

11. they

have new ones with detachable grilling surfaces. spring for that one. the old ones are amazing. nothing tastes better than meat cooked on these things. but cleaning the surfaces is not pretty. and off-putting if you try to use it a lot.

[SmokingJacket]

12. Apparently it's a big hit among the homeless.

I read that somewhere.

[gordianot]

20. It was also on NPR two weeks ago.

George Foreman also discussed how food motivated his rise in boxing. He took a greasy bag to school and would say he ate his lunch before he came to school. The grill was an outgrowth of his early hunger. I am a really repressed male and this feature choked me up. This appliance has really helped the homeless.

[AlCzervik]

29. Do you know if he donates any of the profits?

that would make the purchase all the better.

[gordianot]

33. I'm not sure with the homeless.

He does donate a lot to youth groups. That is where he went after he retired from boxing the first time Youth Center. He likes to feed people it seems to be a real concern and mission for him.

I was very impressed with what I heard.

[AlCzervik]

34. I'm really glad to hear that and it seems like he's not real showy about

it which makes even better.

[serryjw]

14. WOW! Aren't there more than one model?

Which one should I buy for 1 person?

[The empressof all]

18. If you just cook for you get the little one

If you cook for guests get the one with the removable plates.

[The empressof all]

15. I just bought the new one

The one with the removable grill plates is fantastic. This is my third GF. I've always had to get bigger ones. My only complaint with this machine has been the cleaning. Although it wasn't a huge hassle it wasn't as easy as it should have been. Now with the removable dishwasher safe plates and temperature control-I'm in GF heaven.

So after all that the answer is YES.

[AlCzervik]

17. Is that one of the bigger ones? I've seen various sizes

of them and i'd rather have more than less.

[The empressof all]

22. Yes it's huge

It will probably cook 6 to 8 burgers at a clip. It's far larger than my last one. It's also deeper. It takes up a bit of space on the counter but worth every inch.

[AlCzervik]

26. very good, thats the one i'll buy

[dolo amber]

16. I saw dude on the 700 club the other day

at like 5 AM...which is of course when none of us shiftless layabout liberals are up yet, so I guess he figured it's safe and all...

Just sayin'. :shrug:

[name not needed]

24. It's either that or a pony.

Pick one. :P

[Socialist Dem]

25. Yep

Makes life much simpler in the kitchen if you just want to grill sumptin' real fast and go. I make grilled chicken breast all the time now.

[radwriter0555]

27. I got me a $7.99 cast iron griddle pan that works GREAT... uses the stove

I already own; no need to plug it in; cleans easy, stores in the same place as my OTHER pots and pans... and it doesn't take up any more space than what I already have.

I've had it for almost 20 years.

I mean come ON. How much more CRAP do we really need?

[sleepyhead]

28. yes, absolutely

Not that hard to clean. We grill all the time and this is the healthiest way to do it.

[lumberingbear]

35. I always had trouble with fish...

either over cook or under cook.

But I cook great fish on GF Grill!!!!

[blondeatlast]

36. I love mine. I have the big, family style one.

GREAT for grilling fresh veggies!

[harper]

37. Excellent way to grill fish

I do salmon steaks...drizzle the fish with olive oil and lemon pepper. Wonderful. But by all means get the one with the removable grill plates. The other kind is hard to clean.

[Nicole]

38. Best way to cook bacon is on GF grill

No more grease splatters everywhere.

[morningglory]

39. If you like rare steak, no. My friends who raved over it all like

well done. If you cook pork chops they have to be of a specific thickness in order to be juicy in the middle and browned on the outside. Thinner chops brown on the outside and the holy heck is cooked out of the insides. Chicken: hard to get the blood out of the middle. Bacon supposed to be good, but who eats bacon anymore, except maybe twice a year? Sausage supposed to be good, but same question. I gave mine away. Also, you have to buy the hugest model in order to cook for 2 people.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

40. Hell yes!

My husband loves it because you can make burgers cheaply and easily. I don't eat meat, but I appreciate that it's so damn easy to clean up.
