If you have had problems grilling or if you live in an apartment where you can't have flames or even if you just like to have easy fun, then the George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor grill is the ticket.

As a Grill Girl with my own grilling web site - Yes You Can Grill - you might think that I'd turn up my nose at this pseudo grill. But, no. This really is a fun grill-ette and super for a generation that has grown up with the GF press grill.

You have the flat plate with ridges here and the channel for the grease to slide into a grease holder. The whole grill top is tilted to make that happen.

Rather than press the food, you have a dome. This means your food really is more moist as you don't mash all the juices out. Also, you can even put a full chicken under the dome.

Unlike other "grills," you can take this outside and use the stand or put it on a picnic table etc or carry it inside if the weather gets bad and again use the stand in the middle of the kitchen or take it off and put the GF on the cabinet. It is pretty big though, so I just just the stand inside too.

Although you do not get the grilled taste like charcoal, you do get grill marks, so if you use gas, you probably won't notice any difference between the electric and gas. Most people really can't tell a difference sadly. So, just saying you're grilling, heat enough to get grill marks, and you are good to go.

Clean up is pretty easy. The finish is like the press grill. Easier to clean after cooking and cooling vs. the morning after.

All in all, I like the GF Indoor/Outdoor esp when it's cold outside. It still feels like grilling but you can do it anywhere pretty much and don't have to worry about vents and hoods and so on.

Gas is more convenient, but charcoal sure gives a great flavor.

I got a small grill about 3 or 4 yrs ago believing I would grill hamburgers and hotdogs for niece and nephews and I have never used it. It's one the little ones with a handle and the charcoal came with it. Yeah, I know, I should probably toss the charcoal.
