I lost "custody" of my George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine in my first divorce.  Yes, that was one of the few items in the house that we actually fought over.  After all I was the one who used it (it was an older model than this one).  Knowing how much I loved my George Foreman the hubby bought me the George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine.  

Even thought my kitchen is quite roomy, I don't use the George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine as often as I should or would like to.  It's one of those appliances that I think of AFTER I have already started cooking the hamburgers. 

But thanks to Awlafon's review, I am taking a second look at my George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine. In the past I limited my cooking on it to mostly meats, like pork chops, sausages, hot dogs, burgers and chicken.  I have grilled a vegetable or two and always wondered if I could do a sandwich, but never took the time.

So, out came the George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine for a second look.  It is a lot more versatile that I thought at first.  In addition to "grilling" it is great for warming and toasting too.

My Viewpoint: It is time to make room on my counter for the George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine. As I find more uses for it, taking it in and out of the cabinet is too much trouble, and I don't always remember.  I still wish it had a little "shelf" of sorts for the "oil catcher" and that the oil catcher was bigger and more sturdy.  Another problem that I had in addition to the size it took on my counter was that clumsy me usually ended up spilling the oil and grease from my cooking. But, since it came out of hiding, here is the funny thing, I have used it everyday!   No more hiding in the cupboards for my George Foreman.

Another great review! I think I have the smaller model and I have also found that it made wonderful sandwiches!

Nice going. I just might have to break down and buy one of these.

I really want to buy one of these but my hubby likes to bbq outside. Maybe I'll try harder to talk him into buying one. Good review.
