Would you recommend the foreman grill? I'm seeing a lot of comments on here about it.

We have one (mostly because we don't have room for a regular grill at our apartment) but we really like it! I will say the flavor isn't always comparable to what you'd have on a standard grill but we haven't found a problem cooking anything with it. Even veggies0

A Foreman grill and liquid smoke makes for happy people0

I had one for years and loved it. It finally died last week after many years of service. I'm getting a new one come payday.0

Love mine - LOVE it. I don't think mine is the george brand. Mine has removable plates - that makes cleaning LOTS easier. Look for that feature. Otherwise, I can't live without it much of the time. Quick meat cook with little to no monitoring. Sometimes I cook all the meat for a week on it and be done with it. I do chicken, then beef, then wipe off and do fish. Then clean the whole mess up good. BOOM meat for a week.0

Thanks, I like grilling, but I'm not fond of turkey or bison burgers falling into the grill! They're expensive!0

The Foreman grill is definitely where its at!0

LOVE mine to death. I probably use it 4-5 times a week, and turkey burgers work great! I agree that removable plates are a must - the first one I had didn't have removable ones and it was a pain to clean. It doesn't give quite the same cooking experience as a real grill, but I think it's awesome.0

I like mine, cooks fast and even..0

Oh yes. Best toasted sandwiches ever.0 -
The Georgie is definitely a lazy man's must-have. When I'm working my eating plan as I should, I buy frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts from Costco. From my experience it usually takes about 6 to 7 minutes to cook the chicken breast and it comes out thoroughly cooked through and still juicy. I'll sprinkle Tony Chachero's (sp?) salt-free spice on both sides before I put the chicken breast on the grill and spray the grill with non-stick spray to make it easier to clean the spices off after I'm done cooking. As far as cleaning the grill, I have it sitting right next to the sink with the garbage disposal in it and I'll unplug the grill, spray it really quickly with some water then use a bristle brush to scrub the top and bottom plates clean then rinse a final time afterwards and push the grill aside to dry.0

LOVE my George!!! Mom bought us one for Christmas with the temp setting and removable plates(which are a must) and we absolutely love it. Everything comes out moist and perfectly done, every time!! Amazing!!!!0

I have really enjoyed my George!!!! It's fast , it's easy and the food is delicious. I don't think I have the veggies figured out. Any suggestions would love to hear.0

I had a knock-off one, which was great but didn't last long. I got the Foreman grill and quite liked it, but it was too small (poor size choice). We are currently planning on replacing it with either another Foreman or a panini grill.
So yeah, I'd recommend it.0 -
It is a gimmick use a cast iron skillet or cast iron grill pan, and proper heat. the foreman grill is just commercially hyped junk trying to replicate what is done much better by simple cast iron.
as to the pressed sandwich you can use a 2nd cast iron or whats called a cast iron press

Cast iron does everything better and can be used to cook thousands of dif cuisines and regional dishes as well fusion, it can go from stove top to broiler and oven to barbecue pit.0 -
We have the Foreman with the 5 changeable grill plates and LOVE IT!!! we use it alot more in the winter months (I grill on the Weber gas grill every chance I get during the warmer months) We have worn out 2 other Foreman grills since we got this latest one.... Best of Luck0

Would anyone recommend the ones with the variable temperature controls over the standard ones? I'm looking at getting one in the near future but can't decide which one to go with.0

Yes get the one with the variable temp control.... different foods cook at the high temp setting better (brats) as to things like chicken breast that cooks great at medium high.......0 -

Pretty good gimmick then.... Since it was introduced in 1994 ole George as sold over 100 million of his grills to the masses.. I am going to go out on a limb here and say they must be worth something to some people or they wouldn't have sold so many....0
