A VERY Nice Grill
I had it easy this Christmas. There would be no repeat of the "Margarita Machine Incident" from 2008. I had very clear instructions from my wife that she wanted a new Foreman Grill, and _only_ a new Foreman Grill. All that was left for me to do was pick the version.
I can't give a side by side comparison with other Foreman grills, other than to our earlier one, but I can go over what I think are some nifty features on this model:
1) A big surface area means Really Big Waffles. Having a waffle maker that puts out two large waffles is great for those times when two hungry kids think the next one off the grill should be theirs.
2) A sort of double-hinge at the back. I'm not sure the technical name, but it allows the back of the grill to adjust as well. This reduces the annoying "steak wedge effect" from the old grill, where the one bigger cut of meat would reduce the contact with the grill for the other cuts. It makes for more even grilling...
needs to be larger
The last George Foreman was the best I ever owned but this one is better except it needs to be larger... especially for the price! I paid $50 for the last one. This one cost more than double that amount and listed for $179. The advantage to this grill is that it has exact temperature control and a timer, however the accompanying cook book does not have complete instructions for which temperature to use for what. What is there is very hard to find. There should be an alphabetical index by type of food. I am sure a lot of George Foreman users are novice cooks such as myself. George should make it easier, not harder to use.
Easy to use - Easy to clean!
We read all the reviews and finally decided to go with this grill. This was supposed to be an upgrade and replacement for my older Foreman Grill and waffle maker. We are very pleased with our decision. The cooking surface is bigger than our old grill. We can cook 4 chicken breasts or burgers at the same time. Having the ease of removing the plates to clean is a great feature. I hated cleaning my old Foreman grill. I ultimately decided on this grill because of the timer and temp feature. I'm happy with my decision as they both work very well.
This Grill makes some of the best waffles I've ever had and it is easy to use. I use 1/2 cup of batter in each side. Be careful on using the recommended time and temp that the book states. We have found that we like our waffles cooked on a lower temp for a few minutes less. The first waffles we made were a bit crunchy. I usually just clean my plates in the sink and I've have yet to have anything stick to them. The nonstick surface works...
