Default George Foreman grills ...

Girlfriend came home with one the other day, was on offer so got one.

Tried it this morning, 2 sausages and 2 pieces of bacon for a sarnie.

This is the grease that it "removed"



HOW BAD IS THAT!!

Awesome bits of kit, though I usually find most of the "crap" that gets drained off is water, with fat ontop, but mostly water.

You must clean them while theyre hot though or theyre a fucker

I hardly ever use mine i forget i have it lol Oven is so much easier to access

Best way to clean them is the minute you turn it off wack a soapy dish cloth in there to cover the surface then close it up...By the time you have eaten your dinner you will be able to open it and it all wipes of easy

I use mine all the time, cook everything on it, meat, veg, waffles etc, all go on the grill. Oh and the grilling machine makes lush toasties too Usually clean mine when its warm, easy peasy.

Its quite hard work to do eggs on a gfg as they keep running off

I like my steaks quite bloody and the gfg wont let me do them that way as far as ive got with it anyhows.

Its good for quick snack food tho...sausage buttys and the like
