George Foreman Grill?

[AgentZap]

Anyone have this? What are your thoughts on it?

It's the greatest cooking invention in the past 5 years.

I haven't met anyone yet who is unhappy with theirs. I like mine as well.

Not really much more to say, you already know what it does.

i love mine, but the cleaning is a bitch.

 

[rippy]

yup, its a great invention. I love mine. WTG Mr. Foreman! Hooray, etc.

 

[Adul]

No wonder its america's favorite grill

I wonder about those to.

absoultely amazing...not only does it cook your food quicker and more even than conventional methods, but cleanup consists of simply wetting down the unit, and giving it a quick wipe with a cloth. Definitely recommend you to purchase one.

Just picked one up at Xmas... my friend's apartment has 4 of them... each on of his roommates brought one including himself... its the ultimate college cooking appliance!!

 

[OutHouse]

We got one for a gift for xmas. So far i really dont like it. ive cooked hamburgers and chicken for fajitas. The burgers just didnt taste right and the chicken was rubbery. Ive cooked several other dishes on it and had the same results. sure it cooks fast but the off flavors it creates makes for a unexciting meal.

just my $.02

The only cooking device I use more is the Crock Pot.

Cleaning is easy. As soon as you're done using it, while it's still hot, scrape anything stuck to it off with that tool that comes with it.
After that, a sponge and some soap and water---it's no worse than cleaning any other dish.

I LOVE our one.

 

[Keego]

I love it, but I've only cooked hotdogs, salmon, and hamburger on it. I need to get some chicken breasts and try them out (mmm breasts)...

 

[BigJohnKC]

I love mine, even now that I am done with college. It is one of the main features of my limited kitchen (and limited cooking skill). Takes no efort, and I can't imagine a better way to cook a steak with so little effort.

Bet invention EVER. As if it was created for single guys and college students

I can't find anything I can't cook with it, and it's ridiculously easy to clean. Heat it up, and wipe it down. As for things not tasting "quite right", I have to attest to that...it's not a charcoal grill or a gas grill, so it doesn't get that "summer grillin'" type flavor. But some quality spicing and marinating, and it's a done deal. Get TWO of them-the little one for when you need a snack, and the BIG one for making dinner for you and your peeps...

I grill with George!

Nothing makes a better grilled cheese, not to mention how easy it is to cook stuff like boneless chicken and burgers.

 

[BigSmooth]

I use one, it's great. The main limitation is that if you cook marinated meats or you like to brush sauce on as it cooks, it may burn and it will definitely become a mess.

thats my problem, i want to eat when my food is hot, not clean off the Foreman. Also, that little tray they give you does not have enough room for fluids. When i wash it, i pour water on ti first. I usually have to dump out the tray a few times.

 

[AmRoD]

it's good sorta

corn / hot dogs, hamburgers, bacon, reheating day old ribs and putting bulleyes on em = good

chicken breast, pork chops = taste funny like rubber and just weird

oh btw u can cook anything on this almost ... I made Fish and chips (the frozen from a box) and it cook'd on it too

 

[ravanux]

Yep they are great!

 

[Option1]

We've got one - they're great!

Well, you don't have to do a thorough job--just scrape off the big stuff real quick...takes 5 seconds...
Alternatively, you could try leaving it on and then when you're done eating, scrape it while it's still hot.

I love George! Cleaning does suck, however.

Best thing I've done are pork chops. Marinate them for a while then George'em. Sooooo juicy.

Hamburgers seem to dry out a bit but I've only tried them once.

Unfortunately, one of the major minuses to the George Foreman grill is that fact that it is easy to use. I walk into my dorm yesterday, and my roommate along with 5 of his other drunkard/pothead friends are grilling a full course meal on that little grill. The room was about 100 degrees, and it wreaked of garlic and meat. His other friend was on my computer downloading pr0n. He had two other guys eating on my bed, using my paper plates, napkins, and utensils. They also ran through my stash of chocolate and left crumbs of every kind of food on my bed. Needless to say, that ruined this year for me. I mean, it's one thing to come into the room saying, "Oh dude, let's go to Oakland and smoke crack in the worst crackhouses ever" (one of the conversations I overhead), but it's another to desecrate a man's computer with grade B pr0n.
