Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of George Foreman GGR200RDDS Round Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill
Customer Review: Electric Grill is even better than I had hoped.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read a lot of reviews about the George Foreman Electric Grill. Many said they bought it because they live in apartment and can't have open fire. Some said they bought it to go outside, but it never left the kitchen and they use it all the time! I thought that was rather ridiculous and was sure that would not be me. Much to my surprise, the grill has not left our kitchen either!! It's great; fast to preheat and the food cooks very quickly and is extremely tasty. It's fun to cook table side! I did not think I would grill good quality steak on it, because I thought it would taste as good as a charcoal grill. Again, I was wrong. The steak was delicious. In fact, it took less time than the directions led me to believe. A thick steak, cooked to perfection in 12 minutes! We have made chicken, pork and fish and all were very tasty. There is no vent in the hood top, so food cooks quickly and evenly and there is not a lot of smoky smell lingering long into the night. It's "non-stick" surface takes awhile to clean thoroughly. That's the only Slight disadvantage. We are very pleased with the product; much more so than we ever expected to be! I never had an interest in the George Foreman table top grill, so this was a complete surprise that we like it so well.Customer Review: Don't knock the electric grill
Summary: 5 Stars
If I hadn't moved to a condo, I never would have purchased an electric grill. Unfortunately, due to fire hazards and whatnot, we are not allowed to have a gas or charcoal grill, so this was our only option.
My dad had his eye on this one, so I ordered it for Father's Day. He has used it just about every night since. Originally he would have nightly grill-outs on our small deck, but when it became overcast he pulled it inside and casually made burgers, hotdogs, whatever was in the fridge at the time. He even uses it to heat things up, like when he's re-warming ribs.
The grill is awesome, whether bringing it inside or leaving it outside. Food tastes awesome (though it will never compete with the charcoal taste, at least for me), it is easy to clean, lightweight and portable, and absolutely *perfect* for condo life.
Customer Review: It's okay
Summary: 3 Stars
I really wish this was easier to clean. I thought that all possible new Foreman grills would have the feature where you can remove the silver plating and just wash those versus washing the whole thing.
I had the newer Foreman grill where you could take the plates out and just wash those. You have less worry of getting something else wet besides the plate you need to actually wash.
I've only used it once because it was so awkward to wash. The marinated pork chops were good and tender. It did suggest a heating time but I don't think it was cooked well enough. I had to insert one of those temperature forks in to make sure it was cooked.
The assembly was easy. I did feel the cord was too short. Otherwise, it's okay.
Customer Review: only one flaw
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the grill for about a week and have used it three times for full meals, including seafood, meats, vegetables and potatoes. It's everything I hoped, except for one flaw -- no steam vents so my grilled marble-sized red potatoes weren't as crispy outside as i like them....i may find a machine shop and have a few holes drilled....or i guess just cook without the lid on but that seems inefficient.
anyway i love it. easy to clean, looks nice, tucks away, great cord with enough length (RARE in appliances)...and does a superb job if you can't have a real grill outside.
highly recommended, and i am picky about my grilling.
Customer Review: Smaller than the original GGR50B
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace my 5 year old George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill that just simply was used to death, and I loved it. This one is fine, but it is smaller than the original one (my first clue should have been the reduced price) and it is a bit harder to remove the grill plate to clean it. It has a clip underneath, for safety I suppose, but I find it awkward to remove. I really like the new one, too, but I am not happy it is so much smaller. It does fit into my sink for cleaning better than my old one since it is smaller. Just a warning if you are looking to replace the original model and want the same size, order GGR50B, not this one.
