Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of George Foreman GR18BWI SuperChamp Grill, Indigo

Customer Review: Quick and Easy
Summary: 4 Stars

I tried cooking a medium-sized chicken breast on the grill last night. I made several observations:

The chicken breast stays flat on the grill, and doesn't slide down, but you have to hold there for an instant.

If you don't cut the chicken up into smaller pieces, or if you don't make pre-cuts in the chicken before-hand, the grill won't cook the inside of the chicken properly. The outsides had those charred marks, but the inside was very pink.

It seems that one side of the grill cooks more efficiently and faster than the other side.
The total chicken took about 8 minutes.

The grill is relatively easy to clean. Right after you finish cooking the meat, unplug the grill and wait a few minutes for the grill to be semi-warm and then wipe the surface with a damp paper towel. You should be able to pick up most of the gunk on the grill.

The grill does get very hot on the surface above the grill. The only surface on the grill that you can touch with your barehands is probably the very top edge (plastic-coated).

The chicken meat when I was finished came out relatively dry on the outside, but was very juicy on the inside. Considering that this was one of my first tries in cooking chicken (on any cooking device for that matter) I think that the grill is relatively child's play.

The bun warmer cover shouldn't fall off if you have it properly closed. I constantly opened and closed my grill to check on my chicken and the cover did not fall off repeatedly as some reviewers have said. I imagine their unit might have had a defect?

There is a bit of smoke that comes from the grill, and like a charcoal grill, will make your clothes smell afterwards. I recommend operating the unit over the stove and turning the fan on.

Got this grill on sale for $24 and I believe that it was well worth it. I hate to wash oven pans b/c of the grease that coats the surface. I hate to clean pots and frying pans b/c of the oil build-up, but with only one surface to clean; the foreman grill is very quick and efficient for the college student.

Description of George Foreman GR18BWI SuperChamp Grill, Indigo

The nonstick bun warmer draws heat from the grill and can be used while food is grilling or by itself. (The entire unit, grill and bun warmer, turns on by plugging in the power cord.) It not only warms a burger's bun but also warms any bread item, including English muffins, tortillas, pita bread, sliced bagels, and croissants. Because the grill is nonstick, cleanup is a snap, requiring just a quick scrape with a plastic spatula (two are included) and a wipe with a paper towel or a sponge. --Fred Brack
