George Foreman Grill

I was given one for Christmas this year. Finally broke it out the box. I had two chicken breast that had been marinating in chiavettas all day.

Let it pre heat took less than 5 min's. Put both breast on and it took 7 min's on medium. That are fantastic!!

Anyone else use these and have some good receipes?

Nothing specific for recipes, but they are nice for indoor cooking and stink up the house less than cooking the same cut in a cast iron skillet.

Bought one about 10 years ago for the Wife. She never uses it, so I learned how. Works great for pork chops, chicken and fish fillets. For some reason steak on it isn't very good. I like the fact you can put frozen pork chops on it and they're cooked in about 10 minutes. Also, don't worry too much about the cleanup rules on the instructions. I use steel wool and it still works fine.

We have a similar multi purpose grill, griddle, press without his name on it, Works great. Cuban Sandwiches, burgers, chicken.

I loved the one we had until I dropped it and separated the top grill section from the lid. I will be buying another soon. It works very well for brats and sausage also.

They are fantastic. We really like to marinate chicken breasts just like you do and they come out super moist.

Nostra how long do you cook the brats?? My 9 yr old is a brat eating machine.

We tore that chicken up this evening. It was great!

I bought a little one at Walgreens a few years ago, then got a larger one with removable plates from my aunt's house in Chicago when my cousin had to put her in a nursing home.

Venison is GREAT cooked on a Foreman grill, as are pork chops and chicken. Fish is good, but tends to stick to the plates. Hamburger is messy to cook on one, but it really is a lot less greasy, especially if you use the super lean stuff.

EVERY time, I've tried to cook something in a skillet, it's been a disaster (and a mess). Other than the micro-wave, the Foreman grill is the ONLY way I "cook".

You spoiled kids with your modern two sided machines...when I was your age, I had to use a broiler and turn over the meat....by hand. Everything took an extra 5 minutes!!

Thank Goodness someone finally invented the fork!
Makes turning the meat over much less painful.

They sure beat paying a trumped up price for a panini press, when they do the same thing.

They make the best bacon and burgers that I've had. The excess grease just runs off. I'm on my second GF grill now. The first lasted almost ten years before the teflon started to wear.

Makes No Difference What Grill You Use...

Ya gotta start with a good cut of meat....

This one's off a Moose....

Try Bacon...they make the best bacon ever. Nice and crisp!

I cook all of my brats and hot dogs on the GF grill. Hot dog "skins" do not burn on the GF grill like they do on the charcoal grill. I cook them at 325 degrees.

Bruce,

We are on our 2nd Foreman grill and use it at least twice a week. Great chicken, good chops, good turkey burgers, good fish filets, excellent sandwiches, etc.

One of my favorites is vegetables lightly basted with olive oil, a dash of garlic powder and 'grilled.'

When I grill on the stove, I make a real mess. Takes longer to clean the darn thing than it did to cook on it. The separable plates on the Forman make for easy cleaning. Just toss 'em in the dishwasher.
Chicken or pork loin both cook well. Spray the plates with PAM first. It is different from grilling as fat and juices are removed. More healthy but a fine line before meat gets dry. Trial and error, unfortunately.
I especially like to buy the chicken tenders, throw them on for 10 minutes while I'm stir frying vegetables.
Or, sprinkle them with taco mix, grill them and put them on a salad.

A 1" thick pork loin from the butcher's counter (not the 1/2" packaged ones) 10 minutes a side - no less, no more. Along with a rice pilaf and a boule bread. Maybe some peas...
