 Great panini maker
By G. H. Hardy
This’ll make a couple of hamburgers, a couple of chicken legs or two standard-sized sandwiches (which is English for panini) at the same time. With the adjustable lid set up, it’ll make open-faced sandwiches. It’s not so great at grilling steaks (the upper element doesn’t get hot enough) but for a quick burger, it can’t be beat. The non-stick surface is a treat (try to clean it before it cools all the way; it’s a little easier that way).

Perfect for two people
By SarahD
I replaced an older Foreman model of the same size and reviews of this model helped me determine that this was the size I wanted. The old one I got rid of had the bun warmer on top, which was mainly inconvenient, not only because I never used it, but it was the first thing to break (every time I opened the grill the bun warmer lid would flip open). I love that this grill takes up little counter space but holds a decent amount of food and that there’s no bun warmer. It heats quickly, maintains temperature well and holds two large burgers or five real sausages (not breakfast links – it would probably do 10-12 of those at a time) or six hot dogs. I don’t cook chicken on it, but it would probably cook 2-3 chicken breasts, depending on size. For clean-up, I wait for the grill to cool down and then wipe down the top and bottom grill plates with a couple of paper towels. Then it’s perfectly clean and ready to heat up for the next use. I realized how much we love this thing when we lived without one for a month.

 Nicely Sized for a couple or small family
By Sapere Aude
USING THE GRILL:
This George Forman grill is good for cooking for two or a small family. The grill flips open and you can place your food on it and close it so both the bottom and top are cooking at the same time. The grill comes with a spatula and cleaning tool. The grease from the grill drips into a small grease cup which is included.
COOKING:
The cooking surface is 60 square inches. This means that you can fit about two hamburgers, two chicken legs, two typical sized sandwiches/paninis or five big sausages (like bratwurst). The cooking surface has ridges and is tilted so the grease on the food can drip down into the grooves and off the grill into the grease drip cup. This helps get rid of more fat so the food comes out healthier.
This model is not temperature controlled like the premium model – depending on what you are cooking you can end up burning some food before its cooked in the middle if you cook it with the lid down. Some things need to be cooked with the lid open. The top does not get as hot as the bottom does, so to cook thoroughly, often you have to flip the burgers over once.
SIZE:
The cooking surface is 60 square inches. Closed, it is about a foot long and wide (not quite square) and is about six inches tall. The whole cooking surface is raised up, which makes it great for scraping food directly off the grill onto a plate or into a taco shell. This size is pretty good for cooking for two or for a small family. If you are cooking large meals, either in advance or for say four adults, you will have to cook in batches. You might want to consider the 100 inch model George Foreman GR100V 100-Square-Inch Nonstick Grill with Variable Temperature Control if you do that frequently.
CLEANING:
The grill is designed to be easy clean, and for the most part you can just wipe it down with a sponge or wet paper town. If you do this while its still warm it will be easier. However, some marinades will adhere more to the surface and can be more of a pain to get off – not impossible, but more work. The grill comes with a tool to help clean it.
PROS:
- Easy to clean (99% of the time)
- Raised up means its easy to scrape things off the grill onto a plate
- Cooks fast
- Removes a lot of grease while cooking, for healthier meals
- Nice sleek look
- Built well enough to last a few years of constant use before needing replacement
CONS:
- Doesn’t always cook evenly top to bottom, flipping is required sometimes
- Marinades can adhere to the cooking surface and are harder to clean
- Cord is short – only 2 feet, so you need to be very close to an outlet
- Isn’t truly family sized, this is really sized better for two people
Overall, its a good buy, especially at this price. I would recommend it.
