The Perfect Size Grill!
First, let me say I always thought the George Foreman Grill craze was a joke, until I borrowed one from my parents. My Mom's cooking skills often led to a dinner-time fight over Lucky Joe, our German Shepard. No, we weren't grilling him... we wanted his undivided attention under the table so we could offload our plates, since he thought Mom's cooking was super. The George Foreman grill helped Mom make a delicious burger the other day and I was intrigued. She let me keep hers for a few days to see if I would actually use it.
Boy, did I. I made nice, juicy burgers topped with thick slices of tomato, green pepper and onion, served on a nicely warmed, not toasted, bun. Just throw it all together and pop it on the grill and 5-6 minutes later its dinnertime! No need to melt cheese while the burgers are on the grill, the come out hot enough that you can just top them off on the plate.
Boneless, skinless chicken breast turned out perfect, not rubbery like some reviewers said. A breast...
Wow, I just had the nicest piece of fish
...Creole style, cooked in about a minute on my Foreman Grill. I too wondered about this thing, but since I live in the city, with no yard, I could never grill anything so I figured it would be worth giving it a shot. No, it won't give you charcoal flavor, but it will cook food like a dream, in less time than a traditional grill, & it will clean up & store easily, AND it can be used indoors. I got mine for my b-day, last month, & so far I've cooked portabella mushrooms, fish, veggie burgers, veggie dogs, grilled cheese n tomato (on a pita, which turned out perfectly... something nearly impossible to do on a pita when using any other method)... even corn on the cob (though I still prefer making the corn in the oven, silk out & leaves on (for flavor) cause it's less awkward). Everything has been to perfection! Plus it takes up very little space (& mine is the medium size... even living alone, I wouldn't go with the smaller grill. This is perfect for making my entire meal all at once). I...
Great for apartment dwellers...
I originally got this grill because living in an upstairs apartment in downtown doesn't allow me to have a grill.
This thing is SUPER at grilling steaks, burgers, chicken, pork chops. It is so much easier to clean up than trying to broil something in the oven. The bun warmer is really cool too.
The only thing I suggest is that you don't necessarily go by the grilling times that are suggested. I usually check mine at about 1/4 of the time they suggest. If you leave it on as long as they say, you will have brick food, which I do great without the George Foreman grill LOL.
I totally recommend this little beauty!
