I received this grill as a RE-gift from someone who doesn't know how to cook anything besides biscuits and gravy. An indoor grill wasn't something this person would even know what to do with.
And what a lucky break for me! I have used it to cook EVERYTHING! I have grilled ocean scallops to perfection. They were tender and perfectly carmelized on the top and bottom. I have made marinated shish-ke-bob using filet mignon, and they came out better than any steak I have ever cooked. Tender, juicy and cooked just the way we like them (medium-rare). I have grilled chicken breast. Magnifique! I have grilled vegetables: onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and even butternut squash slices! I even grilled plums, which I later topped with blue cheese crumbles for a special dinner we had.
I have also made an assortment of terrific panninis with it as well--perfect grill marks, perfect crunch to the bread, perfect ooze to any cheese on the bread. Everytime, things come out perfectly. My husband raves about any dish that I serve that is made on this grill. And things seem to cook in half the time, which is a good thing, since we're a couple of hungry hounds at meal time.
I want to buy a bigger one! I read the poor reviews, and I feel badly for the folks not enjoying the same luck with it, and the same delicious meals we have had.
I will admit that I come from a restaurant family, and I have had some experience cooking. I'd like to share that I do frequently spray the top and bottom grills with PAM, and I do watch and check my meats and vegetables carefully. I don't rely on the timing guide provided with the instruction book. (If you are nervous about cooking meats, then invest in a good thermometer, 'til you get the hang of it).
I also frequently (though not always) turn the items to get grill marks on both sides to my satisfaction. The biggest trick to getting things to cook evenly is portion size. By that I mean, you have to have good knife skills, and be careful to cut your vegetables or meats in even thicknesses. About 1/2 inch thick works well. Sometimes, if you have a lot of items on the grill, the items on the lower part of the grill don't cook as fast as the items near the top, because the top items make more contact with the upper grill and keep it off the lower items. Still,you can move food up once the upper food is cooked and moved onto a plate and still get things done nicely and quickly. The point here is to cook grilled food with the fat melted off.
I think that, today, we are all rushed in our lives, and we often don't have time to learn the finer points of cooking. (Do young girls even get taught home economics anymore?) Too many of us have succumbed to the convenience of the microwave and prepackaged, prepared food-in-a- bag-or-box-or-on-a-little-plastic-tray. Some folks may be afraid of cooking and expect to be able to read two pages in the manual, plop something on the grill and VOILA! that's all there's to it--the grill does all the rest. That's not the way of a good cook, however. Good food takes a careful eye and a little practice. (But, hey!, practice is the fun part, and really, it's not that hard).
Clean up is okay. I'd rather clean this grill with a little scrubbing with warm, wet sponges and dry paper towels, than wash a sink full of pots and pans. That's just my preference.
The good news is my husband and I both lost 10 lbs by changing our eating habits after getting this grill. Healthy, delicious food is now "de rigeur" at our home. Grillin' low fat is the way to go, folks. It's been a real blessing for us. | 5 | Today | EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
I first saw this product advertised in a TV infomercial but did not buy it right away. While on a trip to visit my uncle, I used a George Foreman Grill and found it to be an excellent product. So, in May, 2001 I bought the model GR10ABW. My ONLY complaint is an issue that Salton has addressed, and that issue was that the grill plates were difficult to clean. Salton has since come up with removable grill plates, which I think are a great idea.
Getting back to the GR10ABW, I appreciate that it cooks on both sides at once, shaving several minutes off the cooking time for almost anything you can grill on it. If you cook a hamburger that is less than a 1/4 pound, I don't recommend leaving it on for more than 7 minutes unless you want your burger well done. 51/2 minutes is usually enough for me.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone, especially if the model they pick has removable grill plates. This grill was a good investment. | 5 | Today | Does the job
This is a good grill 1-2 people. I used it in my college years, however once I got married and started really cooking, I found that I needed a bigger one and preferred one with removable plates. The grill plate on this is not removable so clean-up stinks. Also, the latch on my bun warmer broke so when I lift up the lid, the bun warmer lid falls open. The bun warmer is a neat idea, but I wish it was 'tortilla' size since I make fajitas more often than burgers with it. Also, great for hot dogs! | 3 | Today | Foreman Grill
Love the Foreman Grill the larger the better.
Cooks everything. This was a gift. | 5 | Today | Love It!
One of only two products I've ever purchased as a result of an infomercial (the other being the 'Bullet Blender', which is awesome). It's great for burgers. I've also used it took cook sliced carotts. If you're not big on cooking at home, this is a great product. | 5 | Today | Good buy!
This is a perfect little indoor grill for a one-person household, maybe 2 but not more. It doesn't take much space, heats up quite fast and allows you to cook fat-free. I use it almost everyday, and the only thing that I don't really like about it is that it is not very easy to clean. I would still recommend it. | 4 | Today | champ grill
I gave this item to my grandson when he got his first apartment. He just loves it. It is so easy to use and clean up . | 5 | Today | Power switch
Power switch? What are the designers thinking, no switch?
I would like to know how many of the designers have lights in their home that they have to plug in to turn on & unplug to turn off? Do they plug in their microwave to turn it on? How about their stove, mixer, etc....?
| 3 | Today | It changed my life
Really. Now, I have to say while I love reviews, I hardly ever write them. But 2 months after having picked up this baby (used, for 5 bucks off the classifieds!) my life has been transformed. I am someone who never, ever, cooked (unless heating soup from a can could be called cooking). As a busy grad student with a family and no life, who never learned to cook to begin with, I have survived the past several years on microwaveable dinners, frozen pizzas, chef boyardee and cup noodles. I only ate real food when I could afford eating out, or when my husband decided to cook.
But no more!!!! George has changed my life and for good. Since I got this baby I have grilled steaks, chicken breasts, salmon, veggie burgers, asiago/chicken sausages, and even sides such as starches and veggies. And I do this every single meal!!! This is because this wonderful device takes literally 5 minutes or less to heat up, 5 minutes or less to cook any of the above, and 2 minutes to clean if you throw in the famous wet paper towel while it's still hot. Because it takes hardly no time to cook, I have started making veggies and salads as starters. I am a completely nutritionally transformed person. And each healthy, hearty meal takes no more than 20 minutes to prepare and eat! And, it grills things to absolute perfection! (Steaks and chicken may take a couple times before you can tell when it's ready, but you'll get there easier than I can write this).
Bottom line: if you are thinking about it, stop thinking. Go out and get it. Don't waste your time, just do it. I love this thing so much, if it were to break I would IMMEDIATELY go out and buy another one. And this is from a person who can hardly be bothered to write reviews. It's that good. | 5 | Today | Great little grill but
I love my GF grill!!! It cooked my steak nice and fast and it was still juicy. Was like I cooked outside but not as messy. The only little problem is cleaning it. I did a quick search on the internet and quickly got ideas for cleaning it that are not in the manual. It should have an on/off switch but I will forgive George. He must be an extremely rich man with all these grills sold and prize fights he won!! You go George !!!!
