Customer Review: The Perfect Size Grill!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Description of George Foreman GR18BWY SuperChamp Grill, Yellow
Topped by a bun warmer with a transparent, bright yellow 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 has over 50 Square inches of non-stick cooking surface to cook burgers, steaks ,chicken breasts,sausage, fish, shrimp, or vegetables in minutes. (Recipes accompany the grill.) Grill marks not only look appetizing but also contribute caramelized flavor. Patented Sloped design allows the deep channels to collect fat, into a safe plastic tray stationed under the unit's front. The grill also has a floating hinge to accommodate foods of varying thickness.Topped by a bun warmer with a transparent, bright yellow 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
