George Foreman Grill??

[Viking55]

Aloha brother's,

Just grilled up some chicken on the GFG. Quick, efficient and damn tasty. I resisted using it for years. Now it's my method of choice.

What do you guys think? Great invention or what?

I use mine a lot.

If I don't feel like firing up the bbq this is the next best thing for me

I use it all the time!!!

I have the original oval shaped one, it doesn't even have a on switch. You just plug it in and when the light turns off it is at maximum temp. I could cook a couple of pounds of Trader Joe's Organic Chicken strips in 2 minutes.
My wife bought me the "New" model with the removable plates, timer and temperature control. I like the fact you can remove the plates for easy cleaning but it take 10 minutes to cook the same amount of chicken as the old one. When I'm cooking 6 pounds of chicken that's substantial increase in time. I can't go back to using my old one without hurting my wife's feelings.

Oh well it still is the best/fastest/most efficient way to prepare my chicken!

I use mine almost everyday and realized quickly that it was worth investing in the extra large foreman grill. It hold's about 6-8 chicken breast's at a time.

One of the best inventions ever!!....

Second best invention, right behind the microwave. I haven't used ours much since we've been married but when I was single I about ran mine into it's grave. Poor thing.

I use mine all the time it is the extra large one and I can put a lot on it to cook.

I have three of them just in case the thermostat goes out. I like to have backups lol. Craiglist is a good place to find them. I bought two for about 35 bucks each and they were practically brand new.

My aunt and uncle gave me one of the originals for Christmas when they first came out. I used to use it all the time in my bachelor/apartment days. It works awesome but you can overcook things pretty quick if you don't pay attention

 

[GetYucked]

I used one in a small one bedroom apartment. After around 4 months of grilling 10 lbs of chicken a week and 5 lbs of fish, my ENTIRE apartment smelled like food. Even my clothes had a food smell to them. I had to stop lol.

I use to have one years ago and loved it.After reading this Thread I am going to make it a point to get another one!

 

[jerryx31]

stopped using mine.. the cleaning part.. pain in the ass!

 

[michael0077]

We use ours almost everyday, lately my wife is saying the coating could be toxic. After so long it starts to peel and she freaks so we buy another one I think its Teflon use to be anyway who knows these days..

 

[J1P1]

I use mine so often I've had 3 in the last 3 years.

 

[Swifto]

You're all throwing away the saturated animal fat?

 

[Viking55]

Aloha,

My daughter gave me the 'original' and it sat for years. Brother's I am sold. Better late than never. LOL

Definitely have to pay attention to not over cook the food

Teflon coating should be safe until it starts to peel, like the pans-yea?

[Darb77]

As long as you use the plastic spatula to clean it the teflon should last for a very very long time. Whatever you do dont use anything metal to clean it lol. I learned my lesson from that.

 

[PitbullTank]

i dont like them personally... meat taste funny and dry after, idk how to explain

 

[zman12]

I cover mine with aluminum foil and the cleaning is easy and the teflon is not damaged at all. After cooking just remove the foil and wipe down the grill.
