Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of George Foreman Grilling in Hot Metals, Silver
Customer Review: Fast and convenient
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit I only bought this item to get over a certain amount to get free shipping on another item. However, it has become our favorite small appliance we own, we use it every night. We even got rid of our sandwich maker since this grill makes the best grill cheese sandwiches around. We are a family of five and yes we have to use it twice to cook our meals, since it is really only suited for 1-2 people, however it cooks the meat very fast, -you do not have to turn it. The clean up is even greater, all you have to do is take a wet paper towel and it wipes it clean, that is it. We love it so much we just bought a second.Customer Review: On the blink after only 5 months
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I love my George Foreman grill. We got it for a Christmas present last year and we didn't take it out of the package until April/07. We grilled at least 2 or 3 times a week and enjoyed the convenience of it. Within the past month it has been going on the blink. It won't turn on or heat at times, but if we plug it in the next day it usually works. Today halfway through the grilling it just died. I'm very disappointed. I can see by the other reviews that maybe I got a lemon.
We most likely will buy the bigger grill next time and I hope our luck changes on the life of the unit.
Customer Review: A good product 3 Stars
I have had the George Foreman for a while... while it is a convenient tool, it is good only for chicken and fish. The heater plates don't get hot enough to make a good steak that is seared on the outside but rare on the inside. It causes almost uniform cooking through the thickness of the meat. For the same reason it has a tendency to dry out chicken and fish.. but that being said, if you baste sufficiently, reasonably moist chicken and fish can be cooked.If you are serious about cooking/grilling indoors invest in a cast iron skillet...
Customer Review: Hard to clean.... The food smells stay in appliance
Summary: 2 Stars
I like the way the grill cooks the food and I like how the food tastes, but....... if you cook fish (or any food for that matter) the smell stays in it until you cook something else. It's a hassle to clean. It should have removable grills. These are the reasons it only got two stars from me. Also........ if I was going to buy this again, I would buy the bigger one. It's very good for one person though. Buy it with the idea that you are going to need at least 10 to 15 minutes to clean it the correct way!Customer Review: A Great Grill
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this grill about 4 times a week - works great, but best for smaller portions (i.e., two patties or one sandwich.) Use care when cleaning the grill: Use the scraper provided (smooth side, not the "edge" side) as soon as the food comes off the grill. The more "scraping" you have to do (especially if you wait until the food residue cools and hardens) the shorter the non-stick surface will last. Use a wet paper towel to finish the cleaning; never use anything abrasive, and it will last for years!
