Why does everyone seem to harp on about how great these things are? Everything i have cooked in one has always tasted like rubber!!!

I think they should be bannned as i want my cooked meat to be swimming in juices and if you don't, your probably a POOF!

I think you should go and tell George Foreman that personally.

And call his momma a dirty ho while you're at it.

George can go suck my plums for turning my girlfriend into a worse cook than i originally thought she was!

davegtt

Agreed that theyre sh!te, best thing about a steak is the juices and blood running from it

jimmyv

thank cr@p im not the only who thinks it sucks, as davegtt says you loose all the juices and most of the flavour, mine now permanently resides in the back of the cupboard, best place for it

lol I like my steaks with juice too, but happy to have any sort of food off my George grill Especially chicken, it does mean chicken breasts !

We won one at the pub quiz about 3 months ago, we gave it to the team next to us

jimmyv

best thing for it i reckon

stilover

I used to have one (still got it in a cupboard) but I never use it now. Not used it for a few years.

OK for Sausages etc, but steaks? Forget it

j4ckos mate

i like them, my missus does all sorts on hers.

davegtt

Do she use it to cook too?

We had this discussion with my sis-in -law last week after we saw some in a shop...

We've used ours a half dozen times at most... now it's collecting dust somewhere... and if ol George didn't deserve a good branding on his own grill for bringing that piece of meat-ruining eletcrical equipment out, he is now selling these too!! fools whoever buys one!!

Think yourself lucky, my wifes sister bought us the rotisserie oven!!

Never came out the box and even the bloke at the tip who snags all the good stuff wasn't interested when we tossed it a couple of years later

I don't think George Foreman as anything to do with them any more, they were so successful, he was taking too much of the margin so the company gave him a one off for the rights. Jammy git!

agreed there rubbish for meat as all the flavour is drained away. all ours gets used for is toasties which is about the only think which tastes good once its been cooked on them.

I have the GF grill with the adjustable temperature setting on it an if you remember you need to cook your food for half the time to stop it gettine overcooked and rubberey as it is getting cooked fromm 2 sides at the same time. Then I say the GF grill is great

I say eat food as it's meant to be eaten - swimming in the glorious fats, juices, blood and carbonised bits that come from proper cooking. Every plump steak and pert sausage might knock twenty minutes off of your life, but it's only twenty minutes of off your life spent in a nursing home, waiting interminably for your **** to get wiped or inhaling the heady stench of cabbage, ****, mint imperials and wintergreen oil. I swear that if all the percentages of increased early death claimed by these half-arsed scientific studies were added together, we'd all be long dead before our grandad's great-grandad looked at his wife in a naughty way.

Break out the pies, bosun - I'm feeling the need to self-harm.

Swimming against the tide apparently, but I like pork loins and sausages cooked on mine, I don't use it a huge amount but it does a good job as long as you don't leave stuff on too long.

George Foreman never had anything to do with the product other than being paid to be the "face" of the company, fairly sure he wasn't even their first choice.

Talking about juicy meat, we have this burger place called Freshness Burger over here in Japan. I had the biggest hamburger they had on the menu, called then WW (i think they wanted to call it the double double)

When I held the burger, juices and grease just poured out, BUT DAMN it tasted like heaven!!!!!!

Also it was "glasses day" on thursday, and my gf just happened to be wearing her glasses as a change from contacts, and we got 2% off our meal lol

They are good for paninis !

StickyMicky

i got one a few years back of the parents, not been used a great deal, to be honest i keep meaning to take it into work so the lads can do bacon sarnies in a morning (only have a microwave at work)
