Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of George Foreman GGR50B Indoor/Outdoor Grill
Customer Review: No-fuss, no-muss outdoor barbecue!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first time to purchase and use my own barbecue grill. We just moved to a house with a big sunny patio that was just screaming for a barbecue. I read lots about different kinds of grills on amazon and other web sites, especially customer reviews. I had decided on the Weber gold grill, since that seemed to be the all-time favorite. I had concerns about the environmental and health effects of the smoke/pollution caused by traditional grilling, but I thought it was one of those things I'd simply have to deal with, if I wanted to cook tasty food on our wonderful sunny patio.
I don't know why I didn't buy that charcoal grill; I had it in my shopping cart at amazon for like a week. I guess I was still worried about the environmental thing. I went back to looking up electric grills, and as before, I noticed most of the reviews were pretty wishy washy. Then, all of a sudden I noticed all of the excellent reviews for this George Foreman grill. Some of the people said the food tastes just as good; some said they actually PREFERRED this to the charcoal grill, and some of them said you can grill outdoors without all of the hassle and mess of charcoal. Oh, I hadn't thought of that particular advantage! I'd love to have less clean-up to do. Another thing: I don't know much about making a fire and cooking with it (this was something I figured I'd learn, trial by fire, as they say, once I got my charcoal grill). So ... even though I had planned on learning it, I do have lots of other things to do in life, and if there was a way for me to get the effect I wanted (outdoor cooking), without having to learn how to deal with charcoal, etc, well, all the better.
And, the Weber grill was like 50% more expensive than the George Foreman. So I decided, why don't I just buy the George Foreman, and if I don't like it, I can always buy a charcoal grill later. In fact, I figured I was going to need at least 2 grills when I throw a backyard party, so why not just start with the cheaper, easier solution and see how it goes.
So I got the George Foreman, and it has been a big hit! When the food is cooking, it smells so good! Smells like a real barbecue to me, even though there's no charcoal smoke. I'm vegetarian, so we've only cooked veggie stuff on the grill ... apple-sage artisan veggie sausage links, tofurkey dogs, asparagus, eggplant, veggie skewers (onions, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, red peppers, whole garlic cloves), and buns. We tried roasting corn on the cob directly on the grill as shown in the picture, but it got too dry. So we wrapped the corn in aluminum foil, and it comes out so juicy! Yum! Everything else we've tried comes out perfect, directly on the grill. We use the grill on the highest temperature setting "5," and pretty much keep the lid closed the whole time. This electric grill makes so much sense. We have outdoor electrical outlets in the back of the house ... why go to all the trouble to make a fire with charcoal when we can get the job done with electricity!
I think it will work out awesome if we just get a couple more before our big housewarming party. My boyfriend says people will complain that it's not authentic, if we don't have a charcoal grill. But the thing is: the food is delicious, it's easier to clean up (in fact, REALLY EASY!), it's better for the environment, it's healthier for us (cleaner air to breathe, and less risk of burns or starting a fire, esp. when children are around), and the real fun is being outdoors in the sun, smelling the food cook, and enjoying each juicy morsel hot off the grill, which is definitely what you get with the George Foreman. So if people think I'm wimpy/selling out, well, that's their problem. The same people who can't see how sensible this is, surely think I'm wimpy for being vegetarian. So who cares what they think!
I love the grill, and I think most people who try the food cooked on it will love it, too.
Description of George Foreman GGR50B Indoor/Outdoor Grill
Salton George Foreman GGR50 The George Foreman Indoor and Outdoor grill is the perfect year round grill. Easily converts from outdoor to indoor use. Easily converts from outdoor to indoor use 17.5" Diameter / over 240 square inch cooking surface Center channel drains fat into large grease tray Non-stick coated cooking surface Immersible with probe removed MegaDome lid with adjustable steam vent Adjustable temperature control Cool-touch handles 1600 wattsGrilling really can't get much easier than this. After assembling the grill (which takes only a few minutes), simply plug it in and allow about 10 minutes to fully preheat the surface while you gather your steaks, kebabs, or whatever's to be grilled. The electric heat has an adjustable range from low (for keeping food warm) to high (for searing steaks). The nonstick grill surface not only means you can use a minimum of added fat, but it also makes cleanup a cinch. The surface has a subtle slope, with channels that draw accumulated fat or other liquids into a tray just below the surface. The high domed and vented lid helps create a circular flow of hot air to ensure even cooking--particularly important for a large roast or whole chicken.
The grill can be placed either directly on a tabletop or atop its pedestal. On its own, the grill surface stands about 6 inches high; with the pedestal, it stands about 2-1/2 feet high, not counting the domed lid. The pedestal is plenty sturdy for cooking, but the grill still seems a bit top-heavy, so pay special attention if grilling in a high-traffic area or near kids. Because of the easy electric heat, this grill can be used outdoors or indoors--when using it indoors, though, be prepared for potential spattering, steam, or other side effects of cooking. --Cynthia Nims
