The George Foreman Grill

Mr. Scott? Is that you?

Yep, it’s the roommates, not the grill. Throw a wet paper towel on the thing and wipe it all off when it’s cooled down enough to touch, put away.

Don’t use it until they’ve gotten ALL the foot off. :smiley:

Damn, that just reminds me of the wanky shit eating housemate who was most probably the one who lifted mine when I couldn’t pay out the entire amount of money he needed for a bill. Since he was happy to take something worth a fraction of the bill, I left him with it.

Caution: The George Foreman Grill is not intended to be used as a foot warmer.

I hate the frick’n things. No temp control, and they make a lot more mess to clean up. You can’t make a cheese burger either, so it’s a worthless counter hogging waste of space. A non stick pan and lid clean up faster, and I can make a cheese burger, after having toasted the bun in the pan first. All the stuff fully cleans up in less than a minute, before I eat my meal. You can’t make a sauce in one of them either. The pan let’s you make the sauce or gravy for your meat.

I won’t debate the storage space statement, but I can’t see where you get PITA to use. And really no more a uni-tasker than a toaster oven.

Well, maybe a little PITA, but that was before I started covering the pan with aluminum foil. (Pay attention beetches, it’s aluminum foil :stuck_out_tongue: )

dnooman: No special instructions required for using it. Just put it on for the same time as you would in the oven. And with it on a timer, it’s impossible to forget you’re cooking something and burn it to a crisp.

:confused: I make cheese burgers on a GF grill. Wait till the burger’s almost done, add a slice of cheese and lower the lid almost all the way down and hold it there a few seconds. It melts the cheese perfectly.
As for the Presto Pizza thing, it takes up more room than a toaster oven, and only makes pizza. IMO, it’s a uni-tasker. A toaster over can be used to make lots of things. Okay, I can see where you can use the Presto thing to heat up Hot Pockets and stuff like that, but only about a third of the food on the pan is exposed to the heat at a time, as it turns. It seems like it would take longer. A toaster oven is more uniform and efficient. All toaster ovens I’ve had have timers, so nothing would burn anyway.

You know, George Foreman has no fingerprints.

Uni-task = Presto Pizza
Multi-task = workshop heat gun

Aye, aye! I’m going to have mine bronzed.

Add me to the “loving the GFG” list!

I’m not a vegetarian, but I do love Tofu steaks from time to time.

The GFG allows me to press down the Tofu steaks, getting some of that water out during the cooking. It gives them a nice, crisp outer edge…perfect!

I also think it’s great for brats.

My GF Grill has a temperature selector and it works fine too. I did notice last night that the non-stick is peeling in a few spots, so I’ll be looking for a replacement sometime soon. Do none of the new models have a temperature control?

Mine doesn’t have the removable plates and I think those would be an improvement.

I grilled a flat iron steak last night and it was great! :smiley:
