I love my George Foreman!!! I think it's one of the handiest cooking instruments in my kitchen! Definitely worth the investment.0
-
We had one, but prefered to grill or bake. To me it's too dry, but that's just my opinion.0
-
YES! I use it everyday for lunch with different type of seasoning. I make a plate of chicken and veggies in less then 1o minutes! Easy clean up too..
Its my baby; im so serious... my bf loves it to we both use it haha0 -
I LOVE mine. Definitelly a good decision. I use mine once, if not twice a day.0
-
LOVE IT good choice0
-
My only qualm with the Foreman is cleaning it, but other than that it's a wonderful contraption!0
-
I agree with EmmieSu. My daughter uses one & I found the chicken dry when she had us over for dinner once. Of course I didn't tell her this.0
-
I bought one way back when they 1st came out.... and it is now burried some where in the garage. I don't miss it. I'm not sure if they are any different now, but I always thought the pan that caught the grease was gross.... the whole machine was hard to clean... cluttered my counter... and smelled funny.0

If you do get the one with the removable plates, it's much much easier to clean.0
-
I have one and don't use it.
I either put the effort into firing up the grill or I cook my chicken in the oven.
But that is just one man's opinion.
Lots of people own the Foreman and love it.0 -
I had a George Foreman grill and was never happy with it. My mom got me a Cuisinart Griddler as a gift one year and it's by far the most used tool in my entire kitchen. I use it four-five times a week for everything from chicken to pancakes, to cooking veggies. I can't imagine my life without it. I was happy to trash the George Foreman grill after the first time I used my Griddler.0

Yes!!!!! U will not regret it- just make sure to get one with removable plates for easy cleanup!0

I had one for a long time and used it some. I found it dried out the food as well and it was a royal pain to kill. I invested in a small propane grill and used that instead. I have now upgraded to a bigger grill and when I had my own place used it daily to cook meals!0
-
We use it a lot. It grills chicken, salmon, steaks...0
-
I use mine daily and my chicken is almost never too dry. I usualy use a merinade on the chicken on my meat. Oh and get the one with the removable plates.0
-
i never use mine because its such a faff to clean.
I reckon one with removeable plates would be good though0 -
We use ours lots, it's great for chicken, fish, veggies, pressing wraps and even boneless pork chops.
Don't do whole steak - it ruins it. steak kabobs that have been marinated are fine.
If your food is dry it's because you're over cooking it. With the heat pressing on both sides everything cooks super fast. Like everything under 7 minutes fast.0 -
Love mine. We also make great paninis on it. My favorite is good white bakery bread, thin apple slices, deli ham and shredded cheddar (just make sure to put cheese on the top and bottom, I had to learn this the hard way!). I spray the bread with cooking spray instead of using butter. You can make a lot of good sandwiches this way. Also use it a lot for chicken.0

Oh and to ease cleaning we make sure the drip tray is positioned correctly and then soak a few paper towels so they are dripping, put them across the hot grill, close and unplug it.. by the time you're done eating dinner it's cool enough to wipe out with a cloth and the moisture from the paper towel makes it all come off like nothing.0
-
Go with the grill! Its all trial and error. :flowerforyou:
Try also placing well seasoned portions between 2 sheets of baking paper.... saves on mess when cleaning up.
thicker cuts are better. potion sizes should be even, and don't overload the grill plate.
If meat is dry then it is cooked too long!0 -
That was the first thing I bought when I decided to lose 100 pounds. And so I did, and it was awesome. I used it for about 7 years, but don't really anymore. Still, $40 or so for 7 years, yeah, I think it was totally worth it.0

God bless George Foreman and his grill. I can let my kids cook without fear of them burning the house down. Plus we haven't friend anything since we bought it many years ago.0

You mean fried it? Or are you all just mean people?
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Good point about the kids, though. I don't have any, thank goodness. [Oops - did I say that?]0 -
Cleaning it can be a pain, depending on which seasonings you use... but it's totally worth it. The only piece of equipment in my kitchen that gets used more often is my blender. Absolutely worth the investment!0
-
I love mine! I just used it tonight. The only part I.don't like is cleaning it, but it usually is easier when I clean it while it's still warm.0

As an apartment dweller, its the closest to grilling I can get. I only like the ones with plates that can be thrown in the dishwasher (Im lazy)0
