  • which george forman grill should i buy?

    my smokeless indoor electric girll is done for. the cord is burnt up and it seems i won't be able to replace it.
    i want something easy to clean and big enough to grill 2 porterhouse.

    i know many of you have george forman grills of one kind or another. i'd like your input as to what to buy.

    if there is another brand that would fit the bill feel free to tell me about that one too.

    Get the one with the removable grill plates because it will be easier to clean. And also get the one with the larger grill surface area.

        I'm not sure. I bought mine a few months before they came out with the removable plates and I never upgraded (because I'm a penny pincher and because ....I'm a penny pincher!)

          Hamilton Beach!! I've got this one and it's AWESOME!

          The griddle plates come out and can be washed (which, I don't think the Foreman grills do), or can put them in the dishwasher.

          I've had mine for at least 10 years now. I *LOVE* it. It's a workhorse too. I didn't have a stove for the first 5 years I owned it, and used it almost daily. I still use it 2-3 times a week.

                I would be lost without my George's. I have the small one and the giant one. Believe it or not the giant one is easier to clean.

                  I am on my second foreman grill. The first one I owned was just a grill, no removable plates... but was quite big with a temperature control. About two years ago my mother in law bought me the G5 one that has removable plates. I think my old one was a bit better at cooking, BUT there is so much more I can do with the G5. They run about $99-120. I love using the griddle for making omlets.

                  I highly recommend getting something with a temperature control. If you can hold out a little longer you might be able to find something on sale during Thanksgiving time.

                    hmmm. Maybe I should look into one and figure out some different ways to cook during the winter... I get a little bored. Its either the stove or the skillet.

                      I have a small one that doesn't have removeable plate, it's a pain in the behind to wash..but still worth it. i would go for the removeable plates one if i could do it over.

                      I just bought a 'Baby George' rotissere ont eh weekend because they were 65% off. Got it for 39.99 and it rocks! i did a roast in it last night and it was awesom! i think i'm going to get my moneys worth out of this one!

                        thanks for the input, y'all.

                        i'm going on a momdate today so i'll do some checking to see what's available. i did check on the hamilton beach that joy told me about but it isn't available at either of the walmarts that i could go to. i'm going to ontario (ohio) today where there is a target, meijer and a few other larger stores. i'll check and see what my choices are.
                        most definetly i have to have something with removeable plates.

                        great sale sadie! i'm all in for sales.

                          Jimmie, did you know that you can order online from Walmart and then go pick it up at the store? They'll ship it to the store for you.

                              George Foreman Next Grilleration Removable-Plate Grill with 5 Plates



                              Check out my post here:

                              http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=49991

                              This is my absolute favorite thing in my kitchen. I use it 2-3 times a day. It's so versatile and easy to clean. Amazon is the cheapest I've ever seen it.

                              It's $118 at Walmart and $97 with free shipping on Amazon. It also has optional omelet plates that you can purchase separately. It is high, but SO worth it. In the griddle/baking plate, eggs turn out perfect, and cream cheese pancakes, etc... You don't have to flip anything. The grill is great for all meat including bacon.
