Anyone have a george foreman grill? if so which one?is it any good?

Question

OH.....and how much food can you cook on the one you own...

some say X amount of chicken breasts but dont look big enough to grill a mushroom on!

how often do use it? Is it quicker than using the normal grill?

Answer 1

yes i have the biggest grill.its fab.i can cook 6 chicken breasts at one time same for burgers,12 sausages.
the grill plates come off too so its simple to wash.
the best thing about it too is you set it to the temp yoy want and the amount of time you want to cook your stuff and then leave it.when your times up it bleeps to let you know.
it cost about £70 but i think its worth every penny.

Answer 2

I have the George Foreman Grill that has removable grilling plates and a digital readout and ability to up the temperature.
The grilling plates have a simple snap out handle on each side. This is quite an investment at about $99 (although the holidays are coming around, so do look out for sales). I really enjoy the removable grill plates, they go right in the dishwasher if you want! However, I have never had to use anything more than a paper towel and maybe some water to clean mine up. If you cook something sticky, dish soap does the job. I fit about 6 of the boneless skinless chicken breasts on mine. The important feature is the temperature control on the larger models, especially great for larger meat items. I still have the standard smaller model, which I take with me and use in my car on picnics! Yes, plugs right in the socket in my car and I'm ready to grill! (That only holds about two burgers, or two chicken breasts btw). I use both all the time (especially for chicken recipes, as it's much quicker and an ordinary grill because both plates have heating elements. Oh, I've also dropped both of them on the floor, and they do take quite a beating, I do believe they will be around for a very long time!

Answer 3

I had a George Forman grill and hated it for the simple reason that it was just too darn hard to clean. Loved the concept though. I now have a similar product by Hamilton Beach. When I purchased it several years ago, the cost was only about $40.00. It has the removable grill plates, so clean up is so easy. Just pop them in the dishwasher. It also will open flat to double the cooking surface if I want to use it that way. The George Foreman doesn't do that (Or at least it didn't). It is much quicker than the normal grill as you only have to preheat it for 5 minutes. I use it often. From hotdogs and burgers to veggies or steak.

Good grilling

Answer 4

We have 2 George Foreman grills. The original, which is great for toasted sandwiches and brilliant for cooking onions to go with your steak. Wouldn't reccommend doing steaks on it though. We also have the big one, the bbq, absolutely brilliant indoors or out. We got it from Tesco, reduced to £50. Put your steaks on, cook for 5 mins, add a topping i.e stilton and cook for another few mins. There is room for 4 large steaks, onions and mushrooms too. Room for approx 8 burgers. Easier to clean than the original. Simply, unplug and place a wet cloth over it when you are finished and put the lid on. We use one or the other at least 5 times a week, it is quicker than the grill as it cooks 2 sides at once.

Answer 5

I have an "Anthony Worral thomson Grill" which has removable plates that can be put into dishwasher. I did have a "George Forman Grill" but found cleaning the plates dificult and time consuming. Use the grill at least twice a week. Very convenient and efficient

Answer 6

I have one of medium size.
It cooks four of just about anything.
Sounds strange but true.
It makes the very best Panini's.
Nice and crisp the way I like them.

Mine does not have removable anythings and I loosen all the food left on it by wetting 2-3 paper towels and placing them inside a warm grill. By the time dinner is over I just wipe it clean.

The clean up is a breeze and the food is great.

I have a friend who cooks bacon, eggs and toast on his.

Answer 7

I have a small GF grill. The cooking area is about the size of a french roll, 3" x 6".

I like it a lot.
Cooks foods quickly.
I've used it to cook meats (small steaks, fish filets, sausages, pork chops) and make sandwiches using it like a panini press.
It's easy to clean, but you can't immerse in water.
My only regret is that I didn't get the bigger one.

Answer 8

I have the small one. I love it. I cook grillled zucchini and squash on it, steaks, and pork chops. I use it about 2 or 3 times a month.

Here's the deal... for easy clean up. First spray it with a cooking spray. Then as soon as you take the food off and turn it off, take two wet paper towels and put those on it, close lid and let rest. Later clean up is a snap.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I have the smallest one and being there is only 2 of us it works fine for hamburgers and tiny steaks. It doesnt fit regular steaks though and only 1 chicken breast at a time. However I love using it because its so easy and right there in my kitchen when i need it.
