I can't understand how somebody has made so much money selling things that nobody needs. The only reason I can see for someone to own a LMfeckinGM is if they don't own a cooker. If you do own a cooker and a pan, put one on top of the other and there you go. BTW if the cooker is leaning at a funny angle, you've got them the wrong way round.

How on earth does a pan on a cooker do the same as a G.Foreman grill? I dont own one but I can see the reason people buy them. As you cook your meat the fat drips out.

I've got one, its pretty cool, gets rid of all the fat out of everything and cooks better, tastes different. When you see how much fat can come out of say some lamb chops or Steak or Sausages, you will prefer that you didnt eat what is left in the drip tray. I have one of the smaller versions, about £34 i think.
If you get really clever with it, you can even cook eggs, or an omelete. !!

The fat drips out when you cook meat in any case. Either under a conventional grill, in the oven, in a griddle pan or even in a normal frying pan. I suppose in a flat pan slightly more fat may be retained in the meat but I can't see it making that much difference. When I fry bacon, I start with no fat in the pan - put the bacon in, cook it, take it out. There is a big puddle of fat left in the pan - where did that come from?
Perhaps the advantage of the LMfeckinGM is that the fat doesn't burn so easily as it runs off to somewhere cooler?

Fair point, if you was to grill it, the fat would also drip out. But if its sitting in a flat pan, then its cooking in the fat all the time and therefore retaining it. It makes grilling easier though, less things to wash up, (unless you have a dishwater, then it doesnt matter) i have to wash up, so its convenient to just wipe the grill down and scrape out the 2kilos of fat in the tray(exag)and then wash the tray up.

The George Formby Grill is quality, just look at the fat which comes off a sausage!
Even a grill isn't aas good because the fat which drips off heats up and some is saturated back into the meat.

Rik1§471 did you mean to say George Formby. Wasn't he that geezer with the banjo thingy ?
I tend to griddle all my food with no oil and its amazing how much oil is in most meat even the lean stuff.
Can't beat griddled mushrooms though.
I like the idea of the George Grill seems sound. Doesn't he also do a bacon rack to allow you to hang up back so the fat drips off whil you cool it in the microwave.

I got one for me birthday at the weekend as the grill i have is on the top of the elecric oven and i cant be arsed to clean the oven every time i have a sausage sarnie.
Anyway, it sickened me to see the amount of fat that came out of the very expensive, organic pork sausages (made from pigs that used to live in a farm near Faversham). They tasted lovely and I didnt get that film of fat on the bangers that ends up round yer chops.

my house mate has one of these, I only really use it for toasted sarnys which it does brilliantly! though it is really just another grill, just a bit more convenient, and doesnt set the fire alarms in the house off

My griddle is fine on our electric hob. Admittedly, it's even better on a gas hob!
I would have an LMfeckinGM (LOL) having seen my mate's one being used if I didn't already have the griddle. Might buy one anyway - anything to make washing up easier.....
