Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of George Foreman Grilling in Hot Metals, Silver
Customer Review: Best kitchen investment I've ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this appliance! I am young and single and just don't cook, but I can eat only so much of frozen foods, soup and salad. I saw this on sale at amazon one day (...Great price!) and decided to give it a try. I have friends who have made positive remarks about their own grilles, so figured at that price, I didn't have much to lose. I'm so glad I did! The grille is everything it promises to be. It's opened up a whol new world for me, eating-wise (and I'm saving money by avoiding eating out.) It's quick and easy. I'm enjoying experimenting with different foods. Tonight, I grilled 6 shrimp and a small steak, a delicious meal. It was a bit tricky to time the varying cooking times, so I recommend a kitchen timer, and monitoring it carefully when you have different foods on the plates at the same time. I've also tried hotdogs and marinated chicken, and they've all come out just great.I've read some of the reviews complaining about cleaning, but the truth is, following the instructions carefully nets the best results. I wait until the grille has dried, scrape off anything carbonized, and then just take a soapy, damp sponge to it. It cleans easily. Odors can be removed by making a paste of baking soda and leaving it on the plates for a few minutes (this is also in the instructions.) And I also highly recommend wearing oven mitts or using pot holders whenever lifting the lid or touching the food on the grille when it's plugged in, to avoid any burns. Try different things, be creative, you'll love it.Had I known I would be using the grille this much, I probably would have gone for the next bigger size. The smallest grille, the one I have, reaally is *very* small. All in all, great price, easy, quick, fun, and exactly as advertised. I'm glad I bought this. My stove and microwave may become very lonely! I can't live without George! : )Customer Review: Great Grill-Worth every penny!
Summary: 5 Stars
What I really love about this grill is that it sears and cooks burgers, chicken cutlets, steaks, etc. evenly and within a short period of time. The lid automatically allows for thicker cuts of meat (I think up to 1" thickness) and is variable in its height adjustment, which is an excellent and useful feature. The lid prevents any spattering of liquids or fats which are directed to empty into the plastic fat rendering container provided. Since there is a small output of smoke during grilling, I just place the grill on a thick wooden cutting board, on the stovetop (obviously with the burners in the off position) and with the stovetop hood on to remove smoke and odors; it's pretty effective.
Cleanup is relatively simple due to the grill's nonstick surface and takes just a few minutes. This model is quite small, compact and lightweight, making it easy to store. The surface area is large enough to grill two burgers at a time. I use it often and highly recommend it.
Customer Review: The grill cooks too cool to char.
Summary: 1 Stars
This grill (I actually own the larger size of the same), is a poor cooker. Heat off the bottom half is too cool to char (think black lines, not tan lines), and heat off the top and bottom halves helps cook your food through.Imagine cooking a slice of bell pepper, or for that matter, a hamburger patty, on the grill. When you're done, you have light or no searing on the bottom, but your bell pepper's soft, and the hamburger patty is cooked through. You might have light searing on the top, if whatever you're cooking was thick enough to touch the top. But whether or not your food is thick enough, radiant heat from the top will cook it.
Overall, this grill is a poor choice. If you want to drain fat from your food, consider pouring the fat out of the frypan when you're done on the stove. Don't waste your money on this grill or any other. On the other hand, if you want to cook a pancake, you could probably use this grill to good effect.
Customer Review: Once you try it you will love it. Just try it!
Summary: 5 Stars
The George Foreman grill is one of those items you see it yard sales per $10-$15 used maybe once. It's one of those items that people think is a hoax-a hack, but amazingly it's one of those items that works. The fact that you can get a brand new one for $15 is amazing. Sometimes you can even get a brand new one on Amazon for 10 that's crazy go nuts!
It is my recommendation by one of these grills and make grilled cheese. It's amazing, done in less than seven minutes, or try a frozen chicken breast from frozen to juicy and done in less than 10 minutes. Perfect for bachelors or moms with bachelors in training or moms married to bachelors. You get the point.
So give it a shot perfect in what it does. I liked it so much upgrade to a larger size (know I didn't buy the company), and I use it everyday.
And yes I do know that he has six children named George crazy go nuts
Customer Review: Great for the Price
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this little grill for $15. I use it once a week cooking for 2. It hasn't seen heavy use but some of the teflon has already rubbed off the groves. No big deal, seeing how much we paid for it. I like the fact that it doesn't take up much room, and the drip pan thing keeps the excess grease out of the food. Downside is that it take a few minutes to clean. I have to take the entire unit to the kitchen sink. But if you coat the food and the grill with lots of olive oil, it helps to prevent burning and makes it easier to clean. Overall, it works for the functionality versus frugality. Dont expect food to taste like it came off a real grill.
