Who has a George Foreman grill?

For a number of years I used a tefal grill. It was one of those single layer ones where you put the meat on and have to turn it over to cook it evenly on both sides. Anyway, earlier this year I got a George Foreman grill and I have to say that I have developed serious feelings for it. I love the way it cooks things so quickly and how you don't need to spend too much time turning things over.

I grilled up some sausages earlier and they were done in about 5 minutes. The old grill required constant tending and would take a good 10 minutes. I am so grateful for the George Foreman grill and the convenience it provides. It's also easy to clean which makes the wife very happy too.

So, in perhaps the most exciting poll ever devised here at Saddoboxing, I have decided to find out how many other enlightened souls there are out there.... it is my quest to discover who else owns one of these grilling marvels?

i have one but i dont like it. i made some pork chops on it awhile back and they came out kinda white and dry. didnt like it.

Pork chops are great! I haven't eaten them in years though because the butchers here cut up the meat into horrible shapes that just don't look right at all.

I actually did grill some pork last week and that turned out horribly. But that was a pork steak type thing. The meat was cut too thin really and it was dry and tasteless. I had to throw it away, but I will not blame my George Foreman grill for that misadvendure. ;D

I especially like to throw on steaks (beef), chicken and sausages. They have very rarely gone wrong. And I always add a bit of onion for a laugh.

I have one and love it. I cook chicken breast on it all the time. My only complaint is its a bitch to clean. I need to upgrade and get the one that the grilling things come off so its easier to clean.

Yep, I do, and I love it.

I pretty much only use mine for burgers, hot dogs, and smoked kielbasa though. I prefer to use my real grill for steaks, lamb chops, and chicken.

Since I don't get home until late, and usually don't eat dinner until 8:30-9:00, this is perfect for quick meals.

I as well though, need to get the bigger one with removable plates next time.

George should make a George foreman grill for on dudes teeth too.

Did nobody notice my "I don't know" option on the poll? I was rolling around on the floor for hours after adding that!

Do you own a George Foreman grill? I don't know. ;D

Okay, maybe it wasn't that funny. I guess I'm having one of those days.

That is quite bizarre, Andre! ;D

I got one too. It's very convenient but it does make the food come out pretty dry. I used it a lot back in the day but eventually the excitement died down for me.

Would be big business if they were gum sheilds :cool:

We have 2 of them, and they have been used to my knowledge the combined amount of 2 times. Strange really, because I remember thinking to myself the time I used it, this is pretty awesome while cooking up a piece of chicken quickly, but never again did.

I think the reason largely is there is little other benefit to it, especially if you have other forms of bbq available. We have both a gas bbq I use frequently and a wood burning one. The wood one is more of a pit and often runs all day long during the summer, but more because we are close to water and it is kinda cool to huddle in front of it after swimming during the day, or just nice to sit in front of at night. Can't exactly huddle in front of the George? :dontknow:

Remember when they came out and bought a couple as Christmas gifts for co-workers.Got pretty messed up night prior to work party and unwrapped one and had a late night cook up.Not too shabby.Bought em a PJ's giftcard and two chia pets instead.

i think there should have been an option for 'had one, then lost/sold it' as this would have more accurately reflected my george foreman grill situation.

Someone voted "I don't know" so I'm now well chuffed! ;D

I grilled up some marinaded lamb chops in red wine sauce today and they were splendid. I must have eaten a good half a kilo of sheep and that's not including the bones. I turned the rest of the sauce into a gravy that went really well.

I love my George Foreman grill. :cool:

The real question is who does not have one?
