[missjef]

what do you cook on yours?! just got one last week, so need inspiration! many thanks x

[jonnoman]

OOOoo out family do EVERYTHING!

burgers
Veg
Chicken
Pork

its a technological revelation!

[missjef]

lol, my friend at uni has one and she cooks EVERYTHING on hers and won't hear a bad word against it!
i've only used it a couple of times so far, i think i may make a toastie today!

[danchip]

once you use it you'll never go back to conventional cooking its disgusting to think how much fat your consuming

[ethandron]

i'm sorry to disagree with everyone, but ours sits in a cupboard and will never be used again. all that 'fat' that comes out is actually juices and taste, and i found food tasted like cardboard after being grilled on it. sorry to burst your bubble, and of course it's each to their own, but i would never recommend it.

[indianwells]

I'm afraid i'm 100% with ethandron on this. I cooked a steak on mine, awful is the only way to describe it. I sold it the next day. For one, they don't get hot enough to create a nice sear on the food and secondly, as ethan said "no fat, no flavour.

[missjef]

well now i'm not looking forward to trying a steak that's been cooked on it!
but i have to say the panini's i have cooked in it have been delicious, and the bacon tasted nice too.

[indianwells]

Oh I agree, Panini's would probably be perfect on it, and bacon would be good too. I just don't think thick cuts of meat like chicken, pork and steak cook as well as in a really hot griddle pan. I know a lot of people love their "George", it's just not for me.

[FluffyFairy]

Yup, i agree with some of these comments, chicken goes too dry and chewy.. i do toasties, roasted veggies (mushrooms, corgettes etc..) and sweet potato cut into slices.

[mccfluff]

i like cooking fruit on mine, slices of pineapple and peaches etc, other than that i quite often do kebabs on them

[RALLYMARK]

red onion - mixed peppers - aubergine - courgette - sweet potato.
cut them all about the same size, toss in a little olive oil, salt and pepper - delicious.

[sense4all]

I wrap chicken breast etc in tin foil ( shiny side in ) sometimes having put marinade in the for a few hours before hand. This is good for lemon chicken too. Juicy and lovely - no heavy cleaning either! I jam wine corks in the back ( to raise the lid up to do a croque msr. Love ours -even have a spare incase it dies, and to increase cooking capacity for company and parties etc.

[weeal]

I never use mine much either, some times do toasties in it

I keep calling it a George Fornby instead of Foreman lol

[Kleiber]

Great for toasted cheese sandwiches!!

[Petal~flower]

I love my George Forman grill. Great for tuna, chicken, veg, especially, peppers, aubergines (they soak a lot of fat up).

Toasted sandwiches

Its used a lot.

And not gathering dust in the cupboard like my breadmaker is!

[sad old git]

I agree with most of the answers to your question.The grill is good for some foods and not for others,it does bacon very well and some veg but when you come to a fairly thick steak or pork or lamb chop the heating elements just don't seem to be powerful enough to give a good result, meaning if you want a really well done steak/chop or whatever it doesn't do it,or mine doesn't do it anyway....Apart from that after two years of use and careful cleaning ( as per destructions) the non stick coating is beginning to peal off, any tips on how to stop this?.

[hundreddolla]

Great for toasties and ok for chicken breasts but as said before, the GF Grill will turn even the best quality, succulent steak into a piece fit for re-soling shoes! Back of the cupboard it goes!
