Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sporting a sleek, contemporary design in durable housing, this stainless-steel countertop grill features 100 square inches of cooking surface and a 1-1/2-inch floating hinge for top melting and to accommodate thick grilled-cheese sandwiches, broiled fish, hamburgers, and more. The appliance provides three removable plates--two ribbed grill plates and one griddle/bake plate--that come with cool-touch handles and offer exceptional versatility. Use the grill plates for cooking and searing those delicious grill marks into salmon, asparagus, and summer squash. Switch out the grill plates for the griddle/bake plate when it's time to bake a lasagna or make silver-dollar pancakes, eggs, and other breakfast fare. All three dishwasher-safe plates come with the George Tough triple nonstick coating, which eliminates the need for excess oil, promotes lower-fat cooking, and ensures effortless food release and quick cleanup. Thoughtfully designed, the angle of the grill can easily be adjusted--keep it flat for baking, griddling, and sauteing, or angle the unit when grilling to help channel excess grease away from food. It also provides embedded heating elements for fast recovery time and consistent heat from the center all the way to the sides, a temperature control dial for setting the heat up to 425 degrees F, a 30-minute countdown timer with a signal bell, helpful indicator lights, and a metal extended loop handle. Accessories include two customized spatulas and two grease-catching drip trays, which clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. The grill measures approximately 19 by 15 by 10 inches.

Product Description

Patented slope design and nonstick cooking surface allows fat and grease to drain off for higher fat reduction, healthier meals and less smoke during cooking. Signature Foreman heating elements provide more even heat during cooking from the center to the sides of the plate and faster temperature recovery. 300°F-425°F variable temperature control and 30-minute countdown timer with signal bell. Adjustable grill angle lets you change the angle of your grill from flat for baking, griddling, sautéing and stir frying to sloped for grilling.

4.0 out of 5 stars I am pleasantly surprised, October 24, 2008

Having happily owned a top of the line Hamilton Beach grill for the past 11 months til yesterday (dropped it and one of the hinges broke leaving the top lopsided), I desperately searched for a good replacement and found this puppy today at a local kitchen store going out of business. I put 2 good size burgers on the tray and less than five minutes after a good preheat, I found myself more happy with this grill than my previous one. Now I understand that I have only used it once, and haven't found yet too many things I could call an ergonomic flaw. But I can fit 4 of the same prepackaged burgers on this grill than my Hamilton Beach one, which I could only get 3. More width on the Hamilton, but less depth than the Foreman.

When I raise the lid, the top of it doesn't clear the cabinet bottom above it. Make sure you have enough cabinet headroom before cooking anything on this grill, as the lid doesn't stay up until it is exactly vertical when removing your food. But this grill is also more stealthy built than the Hamilton, and much more adjustable on tilt so that the grease runs down and front faster.

A little foul plastic burning smell at my first preheat, but I removed the plates and washed them. And now the smell is no more!

Also having an extra tray that is flat for cooking stir frys, omelets, sandwiches, kabobs and the like is a bonus. I looked at a bunch of other George Foreman grills yesterday and today, but this one I feel is better functionally and has a very solid feel. And the burgers I grilled didn't have any fragments of what looks like loose beef skin on top of my burgers, just solid clean beef when I finished cooking them. And they tasted fantastic, not dried up at all.

I've read of the plates non-stick finish wearing off of many George Foreman grills. But time will tell with this one. Right now I can vary the temp and set the timer between 1 and 30 minutes. I have no grey spots or cold spots, as the meat cooks evenly. And I am now more inspired to do more other types of cooking on this grill more often. I couldn't be happier right now, but only time will tell if this one lasts as well as my Hamilton Beach grill did.

1.0 out of 5 stars It works but I'm not sure it is accurate to call this a grill, March 6, 2009

This review is from: George Foreman GRP100 The Next Grilleration G100 Stainless-Steel Nonstick Countertop Grill (Kitchen)

This is our fourth GF grill. We have had this for almost 2 months now and use it frequently.

I like the design and the removable plates. It cleans easily and the plates are easy to snap on and off. The cord is a little short so you will need to set this on a counter with 1-2 feet of an outlet.

We have cooked chicken breast, hamburgers, brats, quesadillas and steaks on this. It cooks all items thoroughly.

The one gripe (and it is a big one in my opinion) is that this does not really get hot enough to actually grill what you are cooking. It cooks items thoroughly but does not brown/grill the food. This is the main reason I knocked off two stars on it. I mean, this is a grill that does not actually grill anything.

From my research before purchasing this grill, this seems to be common to all of the George Foreman grills that have removable plates. This grill was one of the most recent models so I thought this may have a chance at being better than some of the others reviewed. The gamble did not really pay off.

We had gift cards that were almost ready to expire so I was searching for something we needed. This ended up being the best item we needed from that particular store. If we had to pay out of pocket for this, we would likely would have returned it. It works, but for $100+ it should do a better job at actually grilling items.

Update: After owning this for a year... I am very disappointed. The non stick finish is now (significantly) flaking off the grill plates. Dropping this down to 1 Star... Terrible product and I will not buy another Foreman. At this price point this should be of a higher quality and last a minimum of 5 years.

George Foreman 3-Plates Stainless Steel Grill - GRP100

My DH and I have been long time fans of the George Foreman line of Grills. When my last one went "toes up" I looked to my friends at amazon.com and they came to the rescue with this great grill.

It heats up quickly and cooks evenly. In fact this is the first one that I've had that I have not had to turn foods a couple of times during grilling to get them cooked. I use it for bacon, chicken, hamburgers, paninis, porkchops, sausages, steaks, veggies and more.

If you have a large, hungry family (IE: teenage boys) that eat all at once, you would probably want to find a bigger one. This one is fine for a couple of big ribeyes or 4 to 5 hamburgers - depending on how big you make yours!

I love cooking bacon on this grill! Yeah, it takes a little longer than frying, but no more splatter burns on my hands and arms! Plus! All that wonderful bacon grease drips down into the tray so I can save it. This is a little off topic but....ok, I know that it is bad for me, but seriously....have you ever eaten chicken fried in bacon grease? I grew up on a farm and that is a way of life for us!

You can't go wrong with this grill - it cooks veggie burgers too, for those of you disgusted by my bacon grease. LOL!

I haven't used the included plate for making pancakes, but it looks like it should work great. The grill can be adjusted so that it allows stuff to drain off or so that it is level --- for the pancakes.
