    I just grilled some summer squash on my small George and had that with a wedge of Laughing Cow light garlic and herb cheese in a toasted sandwich for lunch. YUM! :love:
    We also do burgers. (I have a ground chicken burger, hubby has a regular one!)
    On my big George, we cook steak, pork cutlets, and chicken breasts.
    I don't have the removable kind of grills, but I find that just swishing warm soapy water on em, and then wiping them and spraying to rinse em off works just great!

    it cooks REAL fast when closed, takes forever and a day to cook stuff when it's open. But in all seriousness i use for cooking most anything, prime rib steaks, kabobs, chicken for chicken salads. One tip though, don't use marinades with a lot of sugar in them, it'll just burn right to the grill top, no option for indirect heating.

    Just about anything! Use your imagination.... It makes a real good pannini (sp?) press too! Peppers, onion slices, summer squash and zuchinni, most meats. Love mine, though I've been using my outdoor grill a lot.

    I love mine Shanta!!

    Use the guide that comes with it for the times. Takes the guessing out and DAYAM it is good when coooked just right.

    What you say??? Everything!!

    I buy frozen fish at Publix-comes 2 to a package and 1 is a serving. Get home from work, pop it frozen into a bowl with cold water (last night was swordfish)

    By the time I am ready for dinner I plug in Georgie (I like to spray the grill with the olive oil spray for easier cleaning) I spray evoo on the fish, add salt pepper and some other seasoning...I used some ginger this time.

    I swear it takes 5 min and it is so good!

    Enjoy!:flowerforyou:

    Everyone's comments about things cooking fast while closed is absolutely correct. It's because the item is being cooked from the bottom and the top, so it takes 1/2 the time it would in a pan or regular grill.

    ooh. I remembered another.

    One night I was so hungry...wanted a toasted panini but didnt want to pay the price or figure out calories.

    It is AWESOME for sandwiches. I did rye, hot mustard, ham and swiss.

    Ok, now I am hungry.....gotta go:drinker:

    I have the large one on the pedestal. I love it. Before that, I was using the charcoal grill frequently. Well too many times I ran low on charcoal or lighter fluid etc. This one can be taken of the post and used table top. I've never used it this way as I have it on my patio outside. I have saved money on my gas bill (not using stove/oven near as much) and haven't bought charcoal in a long time. I've cooked lots of things on it including; the usual burgers, steaks, brats etc, fish, veggies, potatoes, kabobs, cornish game hens. My next venture is a large turkey breast. I plan on weighing out portions and packing them in the freezer. If it had a flat plate I would even cook breakfast on it! One more thing...it doesn't heat up my house when I cook!
