Best Review on George Foreman Serving Classic Plate
I normally wouldn't write a review on something as mundane as this but I really do want other people to know that this is a great little product. First of all, amazon pretty much has the lowest price. Shipping is a breeze (as always with amazon) and I received this item within a week of ordering it. When I opened the box i was a little underwhelmed. I thought the grill would be a little bigger and the top of the grill seemed flimsy and I even thought it was broken for a second. It turns out it wasn't broken and it's just a little loose but it doesn't affect the way it cooks the food. The best thing I've noticed it cooks is chicken breast and pork chops. In 7-9 minutes you get a fully cooked but tender, juicy piece of meat. I tried cooking a piece of steak and it came out like a shoe sole. All in all, this little grill has sped up my cooking, helped me eat healthier (chicken breast and salad)and use a LOT less pots and pans that require cleaning and scrubbing. Whoever came up with the trick of putting a wet paper towel in the grill as soon as the food is taken out and waiting about 4 minutes before cleaning is a genius, as the steam from the paper towel loosens all the food that is stuck and makes cleaning the easiest thing ever. Just remember to do this every time, otherwise you will hate the cleaning process. Extremely recommended. The price to usefulness ratio is off the chart!

This'll make a couple of hamburgers, a couple of chicken legs or two standard-sized sandwiches (which is English for panini) at the same time. With the adjustable lid set up, it'll make open-faced sandwiches. It's not so great at grilling steaks (the upper element doesn't get hot enough) but for a quick burger, it can't be beat. The non-stick surface is a treat (try to clean it before it cools all the way; it's a little easier that way).
BalasHapusI replaced an older Foreman model of the same size and reviews of this model helped me determine that this was the size I wanted. The old one I got rid of had the bun warmer on top, which was mainly inconvenient, not only because I never used it, but it was the first thing to break (every time I opened the grill the bun warmer lid would flip open). I love that this grill takes up little counter space but holds a decent amount of food and that there's no bun warmer. It heats quickly, maintains temperature well and holds two large burgers or five real sausages (not breakfast links - it would probably do 10-12 of those at a time) or six hot dogs. I don't cook chicken on it, but it would probably cook 2-3 chicken breasts, depending on size. For clean-up, I wait for the grill to cool down and then wipe down the top and bottom grill plates with a couple of paper towels. Then it's perfectly clean and ready to heat up for the next use. I realized how much we love this thing when we lived without one for a month.
BalasHapusI love my grill. I use it almost every friday when I don't want to cook. I grill the burger, the buns, onions, tomatoes, and jalapeno peppers. This is a great product. Easy clean up. No hassles. I can't wait to grill salmon and chicken on it.

BalasHapusIf you want perfect steaks, chops, burgers everytime this is what you need. It's well made, easy to clean and does more than I ever thought it would. I was shocked at the grease I was eating from the first burger I cooked. The grease goes into the drip pan, and not into my body. My cooking skills are poor at best. It even cooks bacon! Without the grease.
BalasHapusThis is the best $20 I've ever spent. I use this every day for lunch and dinner. I love the individually wrapped Perdue Perfect Portions chicken breasts but I hated using the oven or stove just to cook one little piece of chicken for lunch. I bought this grill specifically to cook healthy lunches quickly when I work from home, but I use it for dinner as well. The meat comes out perfectly cooked, as does any veggies I want to grill as well, like onions or peppers or mushrooms. It takes no time at all to clean - just a damp paper towel after the unit has sufficiently cooled. I can grill three of the perdue chicken breasts at a time for my husband and I, or an entire pack of hotdogs for when we had guests visiting unexpectedly. Great for sandwhiches and paninis as well without much need for added oils. I just use a bit of pam or a tiny bit of butter or olive oil, but really none of that is even necessary. It stores easily as the unit is relatively small. I am definitely glad I went with this one versus the smaller, cheaper unit since I'm sure that would only cook one chicken breast at a time.
BalasHapusI was torn between this and the much more expensive griddler. I'm totally happy with this decision!
I can't think of a single complaint. I absolutely love it!
Wanted a GFG for a while now, but had a hard time deciding which one to purchase. Finally decided on this model after reading other reviews about the inconsistent heating on those with removable grill plates. I thought I wanted one with the removable plates as it seemed they would be easier to clean. But I'm glad I got this one instead. The non-stick surface is very easy to clean with just a wet papertowel.
BalasHapusBesides the ease of cleanup the size of this one is perfect for me. I usually cook one or two pieces at a time (burgers or chops mostly) and this grill easily accommodates those.
I got lucky,I found one at walmart for $22,on clearance. I love it,the black model looks great. It big enough to cook four beef patties,at once. It comes with four raiser attachments for the legs,so you can push taco meat into a taco shell,strait from the grill.
