This 800-watt grill is another variant of the popular George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine. Its appeal lies in its simplicity and countertop convenience–not to mention its fat-fighting ability. The double-sided grill (with nonstick cooking surface) is large enough to simultaneously cook two burgers, steaks, or chicken breasts–or lots of sausage, fish, shrimp, or vegetables–on the top and bottom in minutes. (Recipes accompany the grill.) Grill marks not only look appetizing but also contribute caramelized flavor. The bottom grill’s deep channels collect fat, and the grill is sloped so the fat runs off into a dishwasher-safe plastic tray (included) stationed under the unit’s front. The top grill’s hinge floats to accommodate foods of varying thickness. A 3 pack of specially designed grill sponges are included as a bonus.

Customer Feedback

This is great if you can “cook” at work. Just throw a frozen hamberger patty and you have something to eat in 10 mins. But the surface is really small, so you can only cook small quantity at a time. Also cleaning is not as easy as they say. You can’t throw it in the dishwasher. The grill outside gets sticky from the greasy fume so in that respect it takes more work to clean. Inside is pretty much wiping off the juice and the residue but I use soapy water and a sponge so I have to do that a few times as well. If you are single, live in a bachelor/studio or stove-less environment like a student, this is a great addition to a microwave.
Cleaning is the area that I won’t rave about. It is not that difficult, but it takes more than throwing it in the dishwasher (which you can’t do).
To clean the outside I spray with windex when it is cool.
