What is your take on George's grill?
Is it worth it to buy one?
Got tired of cooking outdoor all the time...

i dont think i would be able to follow my diets without it, i cook all my chicken on it right now two times a day when cutting, and my steak also when bulking. it takesl ike 5 min to cook at 6 oz chicken for me after it is nuked to dethaw for like 2 min, and cleanup just let it cool and takesl ike 30 sec to wash. i would definitely get oneeeeeeee, so much easier.

Not the greatest invetion ever.... a VERTICAL grill is the greatest invention ever.
The Foreman grill doesn't really drain the fat very well.... it's not on a steep enough angle, so a lot of the fat just sits there.
I can't find a vertical griller anywhere in Canada.... but back home it was my favourite. It's kinda like a big toaster, and you have a folding grill thing.... you put the steak or chicken or whatever in between, fold the two grills together.... and slide it in. Get's cooked on both sides faster than the Foreman grill, and because it's vertical, the fat drips right off into a collection tray (which if you fill with water beforehand, takes exactly 5 seconds to clean by tipping it down the sink). Cleanup of the grill itself is easier too, since the grill is made up of thinner wires.... most of the time you don't even need to clean it at all.
If any of you can find a vertical grill, I recommend it. Pisses all over the Foreman one.

I bought mines last week and have done burgers twice on it. THat is all I have cooked on it so far and so far so good. Plan on doing chicken and fish too

Yeah, the cleaning is a pain b/c you can't take the grill thing off into the sink
, but I guess it was not that bad to clean on there; hell what do I know , how do you guys clean it?
I bought the medium one, the little one is too small, for $20 more you get the medium

Hmmm....There are a lot of positive comments but there is also a concern about the cleaning..It seems to be a pain in the butt!
Are there any special tips for cleaning?
Where there are advantages , there are some disadvantages too!

The thing claims that it will help you eat healthier and lose weight because it drains the fat from everything you cook. I don't understand how it can help you lose weight, when George Foreman looks fatter and fatter with every new infomercial.

Right after you are done cooking, when it is still HOT, drench a sponge and squeeze it out over the grill, then close it quick so it does not splatter. Most of the crap on it gets...well I guess...boiled off. then just wet the sponge again and wipe it down. It's worked for us for over a year with no problems. We do clean it thoroughly once in a while though, just with a sponge and dish soap.

I know you guys are talking about the George Foreman, but i have a GE grill that I got fr. Walmart. It was about $30 or so and it has removable grids.
Works great. Drains off a bunch of the fat. While its still hot I run some cool water (the metal will only absorb the heat of hot water!) on it and sponge off the gunk. I liked that the grids are removable so you can also put it in the dishwasher! Anyone who is thinking bout buying the GF should try this one too.
