Having seen several references to a George Foreman Grill I was excited when I saw one on sale in a local Beijing store. I was desperately in the need of a table-top grill as my maid had broken my old one. In Beijing, when you see something in the store you want you grab it fast. Supplies are not reliable or consistent.
I have never been so disappointed in my life with a purchase. The design is abysmal!
There is no temperature control – only a control to determine the duration of the heat. (That’s control?)
The device is the very devil to clean -- the plates are fixed and cannot be removed, and cannot go in the dishwasher. (This IS 2006 George!) The plates are ridged, and therefore making toasted sandwiches on it is restricted to flat sandwiches. In fact the whole darned thing is restricted to cooking flat food.
It is angled relative to the table and cannot be opened out for Yakitory-type cooking.
In other works it is a crummy design.
George, you may know a lot about boxing but you know sweet fanny adams about table-top grills. Go and buy a few table-top grills from Taiwan and learn from them.
I shall deposit my George Fireman Grill in the trash can tomorrow.
