Amazon.com Review
Topped by a bun warmer with a transparent, bright indigo lid, this 800-watt grill is another variant of the popular George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine. Its appeal lies in its simplicity and countertop convenience--not to mention its fat-fighting ability. The double-sided grill (with a 7-by-9-inch nonstick cooking surface) is large enough to simultaneously cook three burgers, steaks, or chicken breasts--or lots of sausage, fish, shrimp, or vegetables--on the top and bottom in minutes. (Recipes accompany the grill.) Grill marks not only look appetizing but also contribute caramelized flavor. The bottom grill's deep channels collect fat, and the grill is sloped so the fat runs off into a dishwasher-safe plastic tray (two are included) stationed under the unit's front. The top grill's hinge floats to accommodate foods of varying thickness.
The nonstick bun warmer draws heat from the grill and can be used while food is grilling or by itself. (The entire unit, grill and bun warmer, turns on by plugging in the power cord.) It not only warms a burger's bun but also warms any bread item, including English muffins, tortillas, pita bread, sliced bagels, and croissants. Because the grill is nonstick, cleanup is a snap, requiring just a quick scrape with a plastic spatula (two are included) and a wipe with a paper towel or a sponge. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars
very good stuff,
By A Customer
This review is from: George Foreman GR18BWI SuperChamp Grill, Indigo (Kitchen)
I'll admit that I was skeptical. Had my roommate not brought one home, I never would have tried it. However, now that I've tried two versions of the grill I can say w/ all confidence that this is a great product. Why? Speed. Appetizing grill marks. Even cooking temperature. It's just that easy. I love fish, but hate to broil it (takes too long), microwave it (ewww), or pan sear it (uneven cooking temp, don't like the taste or look of the finished product). One day I decide to plop in a chicken breast just to see how the machine works. Maybe ten minutes later I pulled out a hot, nicely grilled, evenly cooked meal. Yum. Next I tried fish. Even better! Salmon filets are nicely marked w/ grill lines and perfectly cooked w/ the inside of the filet still moist. This particular model addresses one of the major issues of it's lesser mates. The hinge floates and that is really important if you have a rounded breast of chicken or uneven fish filet. I don't know about the bun warmer business as I don't use it, but it does lend an i-mac hipness to an otherwise staid looking appliance. Right up there w/ the microwave in terms of convenience. Enjoy in good health.

I'm not a big fan of spending time in the kitchen, so I love the way I can just plug my George Foreman grill in, throw some food on it, and be done in a few minutes. It's also a lot healthier than microwave cooking; just watch the fat drop into the plastic drip pan. Finally, since it cooks top and bottom, there's no need to turn over your food. Great for burgers, chicken, steaks, ham, quesadillas, etc.I only wish it was dishwasher safe!

This review is from: George Foreman GR18BWI SuperChamp Grill, Indigo (Kitchen)
I identify myself as a person who doesn't like to spend too much time in the kitchen. I bought the foreman grill to reduce the amount of time I would have to spend in the kitchen to cook a home-cooked meal. In many ways, this grill has accomplished just that. I tried cooking a medium-sized chicken breast on the grill last night. I made several observations: The chicken breast stays flat on the grill, and doesn't slide down, but you have to hold there for an instant. If you don't cut the chicken up into smaller pieces, or if you don't make pre-cuts in the chicken before-hand, the grill won't cook the inside of the chicken properly. The outsides had those charred marks, but the inside was very pink. It seems that one side of the grill cooks more efficiently and faster than the other side. The grill is relatively easy to clean. Right after you finish cooking the meat, unplug the grill and wait a few minutes for the grill to be semi-warm and then wipe the surface with a damp paper towel. You should be able to pick up most of the gunk on the grill. The grill does get very hot on the surface above the grill. The only surface on the grill that you can touch with your barehands is probably the very top edge (plastic-coated). The chicken meat when I was finished came out relatively dry on the outside, but was very juicy on the inside. Considering that this was one of my first tries in cooking chicken (on any cooking device for that matter) I think that the grill is relatively child's play. The bun warmer cover shouldn't fall off if you have it properly closed. I constantly opened and closed my grill to check on my chicken and the cover did not fall off repeatedly as some reviewers have said. I imagine their unit might have had a defect? There is a bit of smoke that comes from the grill, and like a charcoal grill, will make your clothes smell afterwards. I recommend operating the unit over the stove and turning the fan on. Got this grill on sale for $24 and I believe that it was well worth it. I hate to wash oven pans b/c of the grease that coats the surface. I hate to clean pots and frying pans b/c of the oil build-up, but with only one surface to clean; the foreman grill is very quick and efficient for the college student.
