Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I have not used one, but a friend of mine uses hers for pork chops and steaks, and I believe she has used them for grilled cheese sandwiches. , A Child of The King Re: Forman Grill > Hello, > > Has any one on list had experience with a Forman grill?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 The Foreman grill is great with steaks and pork chops, too!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I have three and love them all, no I actually only have two now because I gave one to a friend who broke hers. They are good for cooking all kinds of meat, including but not necessarily limited to chicken, pork chops, sausage and bacon! You can also grill vegies on them and they are quite good too. Get one, you'll love it and it will eliminate a lot of the fat that is in meat! LaWanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Helping Hands For The Blind has them as well, I believe.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 My goodness, Harry and are sure making me hungry. I was thinking along slightly more simple lines. Smile. Any ideas at all would be appreciated though. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Thank you LaWanda. These ideas all sound great. My sil always asks what I want for Christmas and I sure am considering a Forman grill. > I have three and love them all, no I actually only have two now because I > gave one to a friend who broke hers.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hi Rita, I have a similar grill, and I use it for everything, vegetables, chicken, chops, steaks, etc. The only thing which you can not cook on mine, is eggs. If you are a braille reader, you can get the Foreman grilling recipe book from NBP, which contains great recipes. Enjoy!!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Yes I have had a lot of experience with the Foreman Grill. I have one and have used them for at least 4 years. I cook burgers, pork chops, chicken, steaks, bacon and sliced vegetables on it. I have also cooked French toast on the Foreman. I wouldn't be without a Foreman Grill in my kitchen. I think it is a very worthwhile investment. Sharon Re: Forman Grill > Hello, > > Has any one on list had experience with a Forman grill? Did you > like it?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Thank you Sharon. Do you give lessons? Smile. Yes, I think I'll ask for the grill. Now, to wait till Christmas Morning to open it! lol. Rita > Yes I have had a lot of experience with the Foreman Grill. I have > one and have used them for at least 4 years.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I've used several different Foreman grills, did not care for them. They are kind of nice for sausages, but they do not get hot enough to really duplicate the effect of char grilling at all. However, for rainy days, they work quite well, unless you are like me and will grill outdoors in any weather. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Thanks for that info Dan. I was not aware the Forman grill came in many different types. Also, is it imersable for cleaning?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hi, I've used the Foreman grill in the past, and was very happy with it overall. The only thing I didn't like is that eventually the nonstick surface came off, and everything I tried to cook would stick to both the top and bottom surfaces. I was always very careful when cleaning it, but this happened with the two Foremans I owned. Now, I have something similar by Hamilton-Beach. I love this grill because you can remove the heating elements and actually wash them. I've cooked chicken, steaks, fish, pretty much anything that I used to cook in the oven. Not that I don't use my oven anymore, but this is much faster. Hope this helps. Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Oh thank you Eve. Ease of cleaning is nice. I don't suppose that non/stick coating is easy on the digestion either! > Smile.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Rita, no, you may not immerse the Foreman grill, and that is my biggest gripe. If you clean it without a lot of soap, it remains greasy to the touch, and since you can't immerse it, you end up making quite a mess. There is another grill manufactured by Black and Decker that has removable grill plates, it is larger than the smallest Foreman, but not as large as the bigger ones. It gets hotter than the Foreman and I use one. With the removable grill plates, it is much easier to clean. I got one at Wall-Mart.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I haven't found one that is immersible, but I'm hoping!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Depends on what your price range is, I got the largest one and I think it cost around $100. You can find smaller sizes, however, for less money and they should be quite adequate.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hi Rita, We have an electric grill which, I think, is better than the Forman grill in that its grilling surfaces are removable and dish washer safe. It's a GE grill and costs about $75.00. Thanks, Walt Re: Forman Grill Hello, Has any one on list had experience with a Forman grill? Did you like it? Any good ideas besides burgers?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hi Rita, We use ours for chicken breasts. Walt Re: Forman Grill My goodness, Harry and are sure making me hungry.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Rita, The General Electric grill I mentioned earlier does not allow grease to run under the heating plates. The removable plates slant downward, to the right, and the grease falls through a whole into a plastic container which is also removable and dish washer safe. The plates are not coated with Teflon; so, you must spray with cooking spray before use. The timer on the grill is spring powered. You, first, have to turn it on to allow it to get hot; then, after putting the food in it, you reset the dial to set the time. Walt Re: Forman Grill Hi Rita, there is another grill with removable plates by Hamilton Beech. I really didn't like it, because grease can spill under the plates, and makes it hard to clean. I have the Hamilton Beech without the removabbble plates, and I love it. When you have the soapy water, doing dishes, I just take a dish colth with soapy water on it and wipe the grill. It is very easy to clean, especially if you clean it before it completely cools off. Just a little nonstick spray before cooking, makes it an easy job. What you need to do, is to go to a place where they have a good selection on display, to decide for yourself which one will suit your needs. Re: Forman Grill > > Thank you Dan.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Thank you Walt. I get the impression from several folks that ceramic grills will not have the concern of a surface coating wearing off. I am beginning to think there are better grills than the Forman. Of course they may well have a newer model.
