gothickitten22 says "Grand Champ Grill" about George Foreman Grand Champ Extra Value Grill

gothickitten22 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:55:08 GMT

I got this and was rather anxious to use it. I'd never tried a George Forman Grill before and this one is bigger than the small ones obviously. It works for a family of 4 just right when making burgers or steaks. It truely is non-stick. I am impressed by that and have not have a problem in that department. I didn't get the sponges that come with some of the grills, which I am sure would have made the clean up much easier. I do with however that this model had come with removeable plates. The grill indicates that it should not be submerged, but when cleaning it rather needs some soaking of some sort and it's difficult when the water runs right out to the grease trap. Other than wishing it had removeable plates, I do find that it does make cooking meals faster as well as making them healthier by taking out more grease than a regular frying pan would. I do wish it had a temperature indicator. I do find the light that comes on helpful, but sometimes I would like to be able to choose my own...

cn1017 says "Love it" about Cuisinart GR-1 Griddler

cn1017 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:00:14 GMT

I feel like I am back on the streets of Paris every time I plug in my beautiful Cuisinart Panini and Sandwich Press. This press makes the best grilled cheese sandwich you ever ate, I guarantee it. I love how you can stick a whole hoagie roll or chunk of french bread loaf with sandwich makings inside into it and squish it into a hot & yummy hunk of cheese-oozong goodness. Or, you can use regular bread and make toasty club sandwiches or grilled cheese.

This guy hangs out in the cupboard and is easy to pull out, just plug in and wait for the green light to come on. You can have a quick french dip dinner ready in 5 minutes that everyone will love- also perfect for grilled cheese and tomato soup night- or just want to make some garlic bread to go with your spaghetti without heating up the whole oven? I LOVE my panini press.

It is really easy to clean- although I haven't tried grilling meats or anything beyond sandwiches and bread. Gooey cheese comes off easily and the whole thing wipes down...

lilmissmaria37 says "Perfect pancakes and grilled cheese!" about Presto Cool Touch Griddle

lilmissmaria37 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:06:24 GMT

This grill only cost me $20.00 USD. and it was one of the best small appliance investments i have ever made. I always wanted to make my pancakes ,grilled cheese and french toast that nice golden brown but in a pan they never came out that way.and always stuck to the pan. when i started using this they did. It comes with a helpfull guide one what temps. shoul be used for the most common things cooked on it. I made some sauted onions and mushrooms with garlic on it the other day and it was perfect. nothing stuck to the pan, no burning, and i didnt even need to use all the butter/oil that would normally need to be used. They were perfect. It heats up and cooks fast, and there is little to no clean up. i normally just take a paper towel and wipe it off. It also cools down fast. It is small enough to put into a cabnit or well even leavinng on the counter if you have the room. It has a drip tray that is noce when making things like bacon that get greasy, you can just push the grease into...

muwhobbit says "Removable plates are wonderful, but grill hard to clean" about George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine Next Grilleration

muwhobbit — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:32:29 GMT

This is a no-frills Foreman Grill, but it does have a big advantage with its removable plates. You can just pop them off and they go into the dishwasher, which is great. My biggest problem with the Next Grilleration grill that I have is that the body of the grill can get very hard to clean, particularly inside the floating hinge. There is a serious grime problem in mine that even a toothbrush and ammonia so far haven't been able to tackle because of the tight nooks and crannies.

I also think this grill is too small. It's bigger than the dorm-size version, but while the box claims it can hold 4 burgers, it really can only hold two decent size patties. Maybe they're talking about sliders? My husband cooks frozen beef patties a lot, and he can only ever fit two on at a time. However, the cooking is quite even, and I like that I don't have to worry about an open flame. I wish this thing had an auto-shutoff, however, because my husband's left it plugged in overnight more than once and I'm...

dispatchergurl says "George Foreman's next grilleration indoor grill does it all!!" about George Foreman GRP97R NEXT GRILLERATION REMOVABLE PLATE GRILL - 5 PLATES

dispatchergurl — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:24:18 GMT

We got the George Foreman GRP97R for Christmas two years ago. It came with 5 removable plates: omelette plates (2), grill plate, griddle, waffle plates (2). They are all very easy to clean and the book comes with recipes. We have used every single plate and LOVE them - they make 3 small omelettes at one time. It makes two waffles at one time. It cooks fast and even. The plates are nonstick. Well worth the $99 that was paid for it. It has a tilt feature to drain off grease, but must tilt it back when using other plates or the "stuff" will run downwards. It takes up a bit of counter space, but if used enough its no big deal. It has a power light that tells you when its hot an a knob to change head level from low to high.

Fivebyfive1999 says "The George Foreman Grill is the best kitchen aid I have ever had" about George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine

Fivebyfive1999 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:49:03 GMT

This is the second George Forman Grill that I have owned. I had a smaller one that I loved. So when it was time for a new grill I choose to get a new Forman. I looked at all the different ones he had to offer and settled on the red round verison. It comes with 5 grilling plates. The normal grill plates that let the grease fall into the catch pan. A set of two to make quesadillas (which I have and they came out great). The last plate is used with the upper grilling plate so that you can cook pizzas and grill veggies.

Over all I am very pleased and happy with the Forman Grill. I used it every night that I cook which is about 5 nights out of the week.

I have found that with skinless foods like chicken and pork. You can leave the grilling machine in a flat down position until the item is almost done. This will leave the juices around the meat so that it will not get a hard skin on it. When the meat is just about done you slowly tilt the machine up on its foot on the back...

mamilen says "a perfect solution to eating healthy" about George Foreman lean mean fat grilling machine

mamilen — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:23:50 GMT

I would like to review and or comment about George Foreman Lean Mean Fat grilling Machine. I have this machine with me since 2006 and I can't complain a bit about how it provides me with almost fat free lunch and dinner grilled meat. I can attest hot it juices out the fat in any meat that I grill. Set up is also easy, just put it on top of the counter or the range and presto, it's ready to go. Temperature choice of low, medium and high makes it easier to set how you cook your meat and how long. Cleaning the grilling surface is also a breeze because of its non stick finish, you practically just wipe it with a damp paper towel untill all grilled residue are gone. The removable drip plates makes it ideal for a messy-free grilling as it collects all of the fats being juiced out without spilling anything anywhere. With this machine, you can be confident that you are giving your family not just delicious food but also healthy fat free meals. I will recommend this to everyone.

urangelbabi17 says "Easy, convenient, counter top grill!" about George Foreman XXL Grill

urangelbabi17 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:04:58 GMT

My husband and I LOVE our George Foreman XXL grill. It is so easy and convenient to grill our dinners! Rather than fussing with propane and coal and lighter fluid to use the outside grill.. we just start up the George Foreman grill, and we're ready to go! We love that it drains out all of the fat, as we've been trying to change our diet to eat healthier. The fat drains out right before your eyes, and it's so easy to clean the drain pan. It's also extremely easy to clean the actual grill. No more scraping the outside grill with a hard wire brush! The grill comes with a little spatula to scrape the excess left on the grill, and you can simply wash the grill plates with a damp cloth or sponge. The food comes out just as juicy and crisp as it would on an outdoor grill. It is also easy to store, whether you put it away after each use, or keep it on the counter top. My husband and I are extremely pleased with this product, and would recommend it to anyone who likes convenience and cleanliness!!...

Eam4017 says "The George Foreman Grill is a girl's best friend. " about George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine

Eam4017 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:33:43 GMT

I love my George Foreman grill. It heats up super fast once you plus it in and a small red light on the top turns on to let you know. It also cooks very fast. I love how it is at a tilt so that the fat drips out from the meat into a small tray. It makes your food healther and tast better. It is easy to clean. All you need to do it wipe it with a paper towel then use a little soap and water. Cooking meat on the stove or on the oven requires too much time and effort. It is so much easier to use this small electric grill. It does most of the work for you. I have a slightly older one because the newer versions are smaller. i can fit four hamburger patties on mine. I put spray it, put the meat on, cover it, and then let it do the work. It is easy to use when you have a busy life. I am in college and I have two roomates. I can come home from work or school and cook a fast meal. It has made college life better for me.

luvvoyager says "George Foreman Grill cooks fast and is easy to clean up" about George Foreman George Foreman Deluxe Indoor Grill

luvvoyager — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 07:19:50 GMT

When I think of George Foreman I think of the boxer. You knew that he would one day invent a cooking device that would make cooking so much more fun and easy to do. I have only used my George Foreman Grill to cook hamburgers but I know that it can be used for so much more. My son gave me the George Foreman Grill I think it was about 5 years ago for christmas. In the past I always cooked my hamburgers on the stove top or on the outside bbq grill. When I cooked outside I didn't mind if it was messy because all I had to do was throw the foil away that I cooked the burgers on. But now that I have my George Foreman Grill it is not only less messy but my burgers cook faster and I dont have to watch them because the George Foreman Grill cooks them on both side at the same time. My George Foreman Grill is the smaller one that only cooks two burgers at a time but that works out great for me because it is just the right size for me. But for my son last year I bought him the family size George Foreman...

andreaway says "I LOVE my indoor George Foreman Grill!" about George Foreman George Foreman Deluxe Indoor Grill

andreaway — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:08:17 GMT

I LOVE my extra large George Foreman Grill! I have had it for approximately 3 years and I do not know how I managed without one. I live in Texas where the weather is always warm and a ton of outdoor cooking is done. Sometimes I enjoy the luxury of being in my own kitchen though and this is when the George Foreman grill comes in handy. I can usually cook six to seven hamburgers at a time. This grill plugs into a wall socket and there is a heat control knob on the top of the machine. There is also a timer installed that will "DING!" when your food is done. The grill's plates are made to push grease downward and eliminate extra fat from sticking on your food. I use paper plates to catch the grease and it makes for easy cleanup when I am done. I also clean this grill with a wet paper towel after cooking but before the grill is completely cool to get all the grease off the plates. It makes for VERY easy cleanup. The grill is large so storing is a bit of a problem...

AdventureQueen says "Griddle me this; perfect hot cakes with GE's electric griddle! " about GE 106733 Electric Griddle

AdventureQueen — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:37:40 GMT

When we purchased the GE 106733 electric griddle I was excited about the sear grill surface, however that quickly became my least favorite feature. Now I only use the flat griddle surface; usually for pancakes (I enjoy adding berries/banana with nuts or canned pumpkin with pumpkin pie spice in the fall). The Dupont Teflon non-stick surface works best when buffed with cooking oil while the surface is still cold. Because it is a non-stick surface only wooden and nylon utensils are recommended so the top doesn't become scratched. To clean the griddle, allow the unit to cool thoroughly and then wipe clean with a damp cloth before drying with a soft towel. If you have used the sear surface you may need to wash the top with warm soapy water to remove all the grease; don't let it soak in water, and do not let it air dry. The temperature control probe is removable and there is a grease channel around the perimeter of the griddle which directs grease into the removable grease tray. When I first...

stephytn says "The best thing I have bought Yet" about George Foreman lean mean fat grilling machine

stephytn — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:46:53 GMT

I wanted to buy an indoor grill because in the summer my house get's extremely hot. I am also a busy mom of children who play sports. I didn't always have time to start up our outdoor grill. There are so many types of indoor grills. I wasn't sure which one to get. A friend told me about the George Foreman Grills. I went and purchased one. I have to tell you it's the best thing I have bought. I use my grill almost every night. I hardly ever have to use my oven. Not only is it easy to use but the things you cook on it are healthier for you. The fat drips into the tray instead of your food being cooked in it. I have high colesterol so it's a plus in the category for me. It came with a cook book which has some really delicious ideas especially the lemon chicken. There are so many things you can cook on it. My guys love bacon cooked on it. It doesn't burn it. It is non stick and is so easy to clean. I cook steak,hotdogs,chicken,and many other things on it. My grill cooks things so much faster...

kima86 says "Quick & easy way to roast anything - without the extra fat!" about George Foreman Contact Roasting Machine Model #GV5

kima86 — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:53:26 GMT

I've had this George Foreman Lean Mean Contact Roasting Machine for many, many years and have relied on it on many occasions to make rotisserie-style chicken at home...without the rotisserie! Like all of George Foreman's products, the surface is non-stick and it helps reduce the fat of the food by draining the grease away from it. However, this wouldn't truly be classified as a grill since it doesn't have the typical grill plates and it's large enough to hold up to a 5 lb. whole chicken or roast.

I guess you can say that it looks similar to a rice cooker in size and doesn't leave much of a footprint space on the countertop. It has a clamshell-style lid that opens by using a hinge on the backside. Once opened, you will notice that both the top and bottom of the roaster are made of non-stick material for easy clean-up. The bottom surface is different from the top since it has grill-like ridges along with a hole in the bottom (towards the front) to allow the grease to escape during...

kathi26 says "The GE Grill and Griddle can cook many items at the same time" about GE GE Grill and griddle

kathi26 — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:23:44 GMT

The GE grill and griddle has made cooking much easier. I saw this two years ago at Christmas time in a Walmart. I love new appliances and gadgets. My husband bought it for me for Christmas. It has been a tremendous help to me. I use several times a week for preparing dinner. I've used it for breakfasts and making snacks. The grill cooks everything from hamburgers to chicken to link sausage to pork chops. It only takes a minimal amount of time to cook the meat. The temperature goes up to 450 degrees. It gets very hot. I've used the griddle for pancakes, eggs, you name it. The snacks are the most fun. I've made pininis using the grill and hawaiin bread, grilled cheese is also great. Little party appetizers and tapas are great to. The little cheese sticks and jalepeno poppers are goo to. I'm always experimenting with this machine. The sky's the limit. Clean up is easy. Although I would recommend spraying the grill and griddle with a little non stick...

CBtheOT says "My George Foreman grill is in constant use" about George Foreman lean mean fat grilling machine

CBtheOT — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:35:08 GMT

I have loved my George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine since the day I brought it home! It sits on my counter and has never been put in any cabinet. When we moved two years ago, my husband and I decided to experiment with eliminating some of teh small appliances that usually clutter the counter. We sold our toaster oven and donated the snack maker to charity. We returned the quesadilla maker we received as a gift, even though I love my quesadillas. The George Foreman grill takes over all of these jobs. I regularly amke quesadillas, bake raw refrigerator dough, and scramble eggs. It makes a great panini and wamrs or toasts bread or tortillas. It has adjustable angle and interchangeable, washable plates - but I'll be honest, I really just leave the flat plate on the bottom and the tire-tread-looking one on top most of the time. Unfortunately, after daily use for the past two years, it seems like the heating is getting a little uneven - much hotter right in the center.

Lateflite says "Nothing a Frying Pan Can't Do" about GE Panini Maker

Lateflite — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:47:05 GMT

I don't hate my General Electric Panini Maker, I just think that it's a gimmicky kind of thing that sounds great and you like the idea of it, but in reality is not worth time and effort it takes. The Panini Maker in my opinion does not do anything a Frying Pan doesn't do just as well.

I received the GE Panini Maker last Christmas from my coworkers (who I'm hoping will not read this), and it was a lovely and thoughtful gift since they know I enjoy cooking. But after trying it the first time, I thought, "this is a heck of a long way around to make a stupid grilled cheese sandwich!" It does make a pretty sandwich. I'll give it that. It has those nice grill marks on the bread that do indeed make the sandwich look more appetizing. However, it's another electrical appliance vying for counter space and another thing to clean. And cleaning can be a hassle just like a fry pan if you do not attend to it right away, but a pan I can rinse immediately in the sink. This griller has to...

Today I am writing about the Hamilton Beach Grill with Removeable ,dishwasher safe plates.I have purchased several types of these grills in the past but none of them have been as easy to use or as easy a cleanup as this grill.It stays on my counter all of the time.

tc4zo says "The George Foreman Grill is my favorite kitchen appliance!" about George Foreman lean mean fat grilling machine

tc4zo — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:21:17 GMT

As a wedding present, my husband and I received a George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine Grill. When we opened this little indoor grill I had no idea that a few years later, it would be my favorite gift that we had received! I absolutely love this little grill and I use it all the time! This machine is the perfect size for a small family like mine. The George Foreman Grill is quick and easy to use. All that needs to be done is to plug it into a normal outlet, wait maybe a couple minutes for it to get heated up, then stick your food on it, close the top and have your food cooked from the top and bottom. It is wonderful! It really takes a very short time to prepare your meal with this great grill. I have always been the kind of person to make sure my meat is well done. On this grill I don't really have to worry about that because I know that my meat is cooked all the way through. Sometimes, people think that when meat is cooked to well done that it loses its flavor and becomes dry,...

The George Foreman Indoor Counter-Top Grill is a convienent way to grill foods indoors for sure. I like how when I need to quickly grill something but don't want to have to fire up the big grill outside this George Foreman Indoor Counter-Top Grill is the way I like to go. It's easy to use and doesn't make a mess using it. The George Foreman Indoor Counter-Top Grill comes with two plastic grease/fat drippings catchers. That way you get a leaner food that still tastes great. George Foreman Indoor Counter-Top Grills are non-stick products but it's not totally non-stick overtime. I've had mine now for about a year and foods are starting to stick the the metal cooking surface. When the George Foreman Indoor Counter-Top Grill was brand new it was easy to clean but now I have to work at it a bit longer to get it to clean well. I'm having to scrub at it now to get it good and clean. The George Foreman Indoor Counter-Top Grill does grill foods pretty good but I don't think that it cooks thick meats...
