Looking to splash out on a new gadget and was considering buying the George Foreman "Lean Mean" grilling machine. Has anyone used it yet? Is it worth buying? Thanks.

Hello!

I love my George Foreman grill. The only problem I've ever run into is with T bone steaks. The long bone keeps the top grill surface from cooking the top of the steak evenly.

Take Care!

Does it really remove most of the fat? I heard that you get loads of fat being pushed out of your food. Also, what else, apart from meat can you use it for?

Thanks!
 
My suggestion is that you run don't walk to get a Foreman grill. People think I must be getting a commission on selling these; but I sincerely adore mine. I'm getting a larger size cause I've used the original for some years now and they have the controls for the larger grills. Anything that cooks this well and is so easy to clean up gets my vote! Bacon, fish, burgers, steaks - it does it all, plus makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever! Can you tell, I'm really sold on this product. Plus it does get rid of a tremendous amount of fat (virtually all of it)......(I'm available for commercials Mr. Foreman!) :cool: LOL, Carol
 
I like mine because my son can use it to cook frozen teriyaki chicken filets in about 10 minutes. <bold>HE</bold> gets to cook and clean it and he feels good about doing it himself. It has really built up his self-esteem about cooking. He cooks for his friends when they come over and they think that is soooo cool.
 
Have used the george and really liked, it easy to clean and cooks fast .There are some knock offs that i have seen out there wonder if they are as good a george ?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND USE IT AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR TIMES A WEEK

I am a real grilled swiss cheese fanatic and put a slice of tomato on before grilling:D
 
Cookies140 - my all-time favorite sandwich is a grilled cheese with a slice of tomato put on BEFORE grilling. It's not the same if it's put on after grilling. I'll have to try swiss cheese. I love mozzarella this way!!!!!

Have you ever tried a grilled pimento cheese sandwich with a slice of tomato?? It's pretty good too!
 
Wait til you get replies about Pimento Cheese - I didn't realize it was a "Southern" thing until people on cooking forums were asking what the heck it was. (Who knew?) If you come to Atlanta, head to the Varsity for a grilled pimento cheese with some greasy onion rings and a Frosted Orange....heart attack alley but ooooooh so good!

I haven't tried the pimento cheese one with tomato yet but will give it a whirl. I love the mozzarella too. We must have similar tastes.

YUM - or how about a grilled crispy piece of livermush with slaw and mustard on a bun for breakfast!!!! really yum :)

My son started asking me for that "white" pimento cheese. It took me the longest time to realize he was asking for cottage cheese! LOL

I am going to try to grill a smoked pork chop now and see how it turns out. Maybe I'll see if I can "gry" eggs on here too.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GRILL
 
Cool - you better let us know how it turns out!!

Fry eggs? mmmmmmm...........me thinks that egg would run out of the bottom LOL :eek:

I'll be sure to let you know how this turns out. You are most likely right about the eggs unless I keep the cover up ... now methinks you are right...the eggs probably would run out!
 
LOL - me thinks you thinks correctly. :D (love that grin)

Did you just send me 1 private message or 2 - I'm showing where 2 e-mails came in but I only found 1 message. Add me to your buddy list and I'll add you to mine

Hi Kitchenelf

I sent you one but I am having a terrible time sending replies and am floundering here. I did add you to my buddy list but don't know how to use it.
