Customer Review: Simple, Reliable, and Quick
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product after perusing the many rave reviews of it on Amazon, and it has definately lived up to its hype.
PROS
First, the grill is unbelievably simple to use--merely plug it in, let it preheat, slab on the meat, and you have a great tasting meal in less than 15 minutes (including preheating time). Secondly, I have found it very easy to clean. Typically, most grills are quite messy and require you to dig into their surface to get the stains off. The opposite is true of the Foreman grill. Nearly everything is dishwasher safe and it comes out looking brand new. Moreover, I discovered a little trick to minimize the number of washings. I just pour drops of water over the hot grill. The water immediately boils on contact and removes most of the stains, fats, and oils left from the meat, which then drain into the collecting dish below. I next use a damp paper towel to wipe it down. Third, this product is small enough to fit anywhere on your countertop or in storage.
CONS
First, several private label knock-offs of this product are far cheaper, and they work just as well. Secondly, while the taste of the meat is great, it doesn't beat the smokey flavor that is added, for example, by a charcoal grill. On the other hand, since these outdoor charcoal units are inoperable during the cold and rainy seasons, the Foreman grill is very practicable for those who like their meat all year long.
WHY THIS PARTICULAR FOREMAN GRILL
I bought this particular Foreman Grill for two reason: it has a timer and because it can fit several chicken breasts and steaks at one time. Just be careful with the timer. It will beep to alert you when it is preheated and when finished cooking, but it will not turn off the heat. You have to manually unplug it. If you leave, for instance, a chicken breast a little to long, it will dry out. Fortunately, the product comes with a handy-dandy quide to cooking times.
