So i just jumped into the 90's and bought my first foreman grill, i always assumed that it was just gimmick, no real reason to buy one, i am a pretty good cook, not sure why i bought this one, but having spent a little money on it, i was damn sure going to use it, so i punched flat a boneless skinless chicken breast, sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and away we go, WOW, i squeezed a little fresh lemon on it after cooking and thats it, in about 5 minutes i was amazed, this was great, i am sold on this grill, only problem now is, i have a boatload of swordfish and tuna steaks in my freezer, and i cant wait to try this thing again, i have cooked chicken in every way imagineable, and this was the best chicken breast i ever ate, very juicy, perfectly cooked throughout, seareda golden brown on the outside, and those great grill marks, i gotta get outta here and walk a while or i'll cook everything in the house on this thing, i've had my meat for today now, i'll wait until tommorow and try swordfish on this grill, maybe some zuchini and peppers, i called my mom to ask her if she had heard of these, she says she hasnt cooked a steak on anything else in several years, george, where have you been ?

by the way, its 260 calories for an entire breast , very filling and very delicious

    Wow, i didnt think they worked that well or were worth the money. I just started working outside the home and getting dinner cooked by 7 when I get home at 5:30 is a bit of a challenge, my two kids are starving at 6 and make it hard to cook. I should ask for ones of the george grills for xmas. thanks for the info!

    I've had mine for a few years and I love it, hamburgers, fish, chicken, and all the fat just runs out. I even warmed up a leftover chicken parmesan sandwhich from The Cheesecake Factory and it turned out like a panini sandwich, was so good. Enjoy yours!

    I had a george foreman grill a few months ago and i put a burger on it mind you it was made from lean ground beef(97/3) and that grill drained all the moister out of it, it was very dry and tasteless. In my opinion i dont like the grill.

    I love the grill too! My favorite is asparagus on the grill. Drizzle a little olive oil or spray with cooking spray, add some salt and I used garlic powder, and grill it until it gets grill marks. Make sure you eat it when it's still pretty warm, it's not as good once it's cooled. But it is fantastic!

    As for the dry burgers...I used to watch Rachel Ray a lot, and when she would make turkey burgers or even chicken burgers, she always added chopped onion to add moisture to it. Just mix it into the burger/turkey/chicken, and it should help it not dry out so much.

    We love our GF grill!

    What we've gotten addicted to are grilled sandwiches -- just like a panini, with those yummy grill marks! Not the healthiest thing, but since you choose the ingredients, you can can sub lower-fat cheese, meat, etc. One of the best was leftover roast beef and provolone on sourdough. Smear a little horseradish on it before eating and yum! Try grilled pimento cheese -- messy, but good.

    With the grilled sandwiches, as soon as they are done, put them on a wire rack to cool a minute before slicing or serving. This lets the steam escape without making the bread soggy.

    latishacarney07 -- I have noticed that using extra-lean ground beef does make dry burgers, since so much of the fat drains off. Try beef with about 5% more fat than you would normally use.

    MelsaEstel -- I actually like cold grilled asparagus, especially dipped in ranch dressing!
