Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Topped by a bun warmer with a transparent, bright teal 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 The Perfect Size Grill!, June 25, 2002

First, let me say I always thought the George Foreman Grill craze was a joke, until I borrowed one from my parents. My Mom's cooking skills often led to a dinner-time fight over Lucky Joe, our German Shepard. No, we weren't grilling him... we wanted his undivided attention under the table so we could offload our plates, since he thought Mom's cooking was super. The George Foreman grill helped Mom make a delicious burger the other day and I was intrigued. She let me keep hers for a few days to see if I would actually use it.

Boy, did I. I made nice, juicy burgers topped with thick slices of tomato, green pepper and onion, served on a nicely warmed, not toasted, bun. Just throw it all together and pop it on the grill and 5-6 minutes later its dinnertime! No need to melt cheese while the burgers are on the grill, the come out hot enough that you can just top them off on the plate.

Boneless, skinless chicken breast turned out perfect, not rubbery like some reviewers said. A breast that normally takes 20 minutes to bake took half the time with the Foreman Grill.

My wife is a veggie and she is pleased with how her Boca burgers turned out as well.

The bun warmer is essential. Don't buy the models without one, you'll regret it. The basic model my Mom has is too small for more than one big burger at a time. The Supersized model I purchased is perfect. Three items fit nicely, yet it's not as huge as the family sized one. No sense heating surface area you're not using.

Cleanup is a two-damp paper towel affair if you do it as soon as you unplug the grill. Don't worry, the food is hot and in those few seconds it won't get cold. Also, other reviews have indicated that you shouldn't immediately close the hot grill after use, so as to avoid the teflon deteriorating. Makes sense to me. Mom's is several years old and looks like new, after moderate use.

One warning, the photos aren't totally accurate. I didn't realize the base of the supersized grills are silver, not white. I would have ordered a different color bun warmer if I had known.

I avoid most food "machines" because they get used at first and then take up shelf space. The Foreman Grill is an exception, along with a bread machine I use often to make dough, my food processor that always in use and the coffeemaker. Don't be afraid to try one.

...Creole style, cooked in about a minute on my Foreman Grill. I too wondered about this thing, but since I live in the city, with no yard, I could never grill anything so I figured it would be worth giving it a shot. No, it won't give you charcoal flavor, but it will cook food like a dream, in less time than a traditional grill, & it will clean up & store easily, AND it can be used indoors. I got mine for my b-day, last month, & so far I've cooked portabella mushrooms, fish, veggie burgers, veggie dogs, grilled cheese n tomato (on a pita, which turned out perfectly... something nearly impossible to do on a pita when using any other method)... even corn on the cob (though I still prefer making the corn in the oven, silk out & leaves on (for flavor) cause it's less awkward). Everything has been to perfection! Plus it takes up very little space (& mine is the medium size... even living alone, I wouldn't go with the smaller grill. This is perfect for making my entire meal all at once). I could live without the bun warmer, but it is kinda cute & it actually does work. If you're still on the fence, come on over, you won't regret it! It's a kitchen gadget/appliance that you'll actually use AND love. (caution, the exposed edges get VERY hot & you WILL get burned. DO keep it away from its own plug, papers... as I can conceive if it becoming a fire hazard, and that's why I gave it 4 stars)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for apartment dwellers..., May 7, 2003

I originally got this grill because living in an upstairs apartment in downtown doesn't allow me to have a grill.

This thing is SUPER at grilling steaks, burgers, chicken, pork chops. It is so much easier to clean up than trying to broil something in the oven. The bun warmer is really cool too.

The only thing I suggest is that you don't necessarily go by the grilling times that are suggested. I usually check mine at about 1/4 of the time they suggest. If you leave it on as long as they say, you will have brick food, which I do great without the George Foreman grill LOL.

I totally recommend this little beauty!
