Are George Foreman's Grills any good?

Answer 1

you bet. I love mine. Great for steaks or chicken -- juicy results. Home-made burgers too. Take a tip though ...... wipe the thing with damp kitchen paper and a little bit of dishwashing liquid as soon as possible. Then go eat, and it will be much easier to clean when you want to.

Answer 2

I honestly don't see how I could live without mine. I cook a lot of grilled chicken on it, occassionally pork chops, salmon and hot dogs too. I don't eat burgers very often, but when I have the foreman did a pretty good job of removing the fat to the drip tray. That way it doesn't cook in its own fat, making it a little healthier.

My only regret is that I don't own a model with the removable plates. I recommend getting one that does. It makes cleaning a lot easier, especially if you have a dishwasher.

Answer 3

I have a Hamilton Beach knock-off of a Foreman, and I love it. I think it's easy to clean and does an excellent job. Only 3 parts to toss in the dishwasher. I just made burgers on it last night.

Answer 4

Yeah, I've got one in a kitchen cupboard and pull it out every now and then. You really can't cook much on this, but I've grilled burgers, chicken and fish.

Words of advice? Don't forget that you've got this thing on ... it cooks quickly and has no timer/warning signals to indicate your food is done. Position the grease drip tray directly under the sloped end (otherwise, you'll have a pool of grease on your counter to wipe up). And, for clean-up, all I do is take a few crumpled up wet paper towels and wipe the cooking surface (shortly after your cooking is done and you've unplugged the thing). You can wipe out the grease tray too then toss it in your dishwasher (I put mine in the cutlery holder).

Answer 5

Yes they can be good, and I expect that the ones with the temp gage work even better.
However I have several problems with ours;
1. it's hard to clean
2. sometimes the outside dries out before the burgers are cooked through
3. the non stick coating is not non stick
4. the tray to catch the fat and grease can get messy and is easily knocked over when sitting on a counter

Answer 6

Yes they do work well but they take a little getting used to both from the cooking and cleaning standpoint. If you don't have one you might want your first one to be the middle sized one (I think they come in four sizes) anyway if you don't like it I promise you won't have any trouble at all either selling it or giving it away. Good Luck>

Answer 7

We have two of them and I sure have no complaints. The inclined cooking surface drains fats nicely and the cooking surface cleans easily. Not much more I can say except that if one was damaged I would replace it with another just like it.

Answer 8

I really like mine. They cook things pretty quickly, and are easy to clean up. I mostly grill hamburgers and small steaks, but I've also done chicken breasts.

Answer 9

I like ours but it's so tiny. It barely makes two burgers at a time. I would like a bigger one though. It really takes the fat away, some more than the container can hold. LOL. which is good though.

Answer 10

They do a good job of cooking but the bad part about it is that it takes forever to clean it. So many nooks and crannnys on it thats hard to clean. But like i said your food will cook fine with it.
