George Foreman GR20CB XL Grill  Product Reviews

"...but I do NOT like the way this thing cooks. Chicken comes out dry, steak comes out burned outside and raw inside; it does a decent job on thick fish steaks and vegetables like parsnips, but only if you watch it like a hawk because if you let it go just half a minute too long the food is inedible. Maybe I just never got a taste for that barbecue-charred taste that so many people seem to worship but I'm going back to using my oven broiler. Oh, and it's a NIGHTMARE to clean! The provided "safe" scraper tool doesn't fit the grillpan grooves and if you use anything else you'll scrape the Teflon right off. You HAVE to clean it while it's still at top heat and you'll use an entire roll of towel doing it (and probably burn your fingers). Don't even bother trying to clean it if it's started to cool down. After a few uses, both grill pans had a worn, burned patch in the center, which was impossible to clean at all. No wonder this is one of the cheapest contact grills on the market."

"My husband and I received this grill as a Christmas gift, It took me a while to finally try it but when I did I was glad. This little guy cooks up one great burger. It's fast, even cooking and the burgers come out just perfect. One of the great featres is the fact that access fat rolls off the meat and is collected in a little tray to be disposed of. I like that since it isn't being deposited on my hips. A BIG plus! It also makes great grilled sandwiches and is a snap to clean. One drawback....it isn't that big so if your family is large you may want to go with a bigger unit. Recommended!"

"This product worked great for me for about 5 months until I cooked a chicken breast and when eating it chewed on something that felt like dirt. When I went to clean the unit I noticed a small chip on the teflon coating. It was not scratched - it had simply peeled off. I am in the market for another grill but I will not buy another George Foreman grill. It is not worth the money."

"When the Mrs came home with one of these things - I thought to myself, "great, something else we can add to our museum of unused kitchen appliances. There's a spot for it next to the cusinart." This time I was wrong. Throw a slab of meat in, and presto - perfect juicy, sans grease. I'm actually eating better, and sticking to South Beach Diet due to this. Fresh ground turkey, throw in some olives, sliced mushrooms. Grease and fat drains right out. I find I use this far more often than the frying pan. It's just better for certain types of foods. It cooks food evenly and is never greasy. Some say it's hard to clean but I disagee. It's no where near a bad as a dirty, sticky pan.It also has a great build quality. Simple but terrific product. The exception to the infomercial = junk rule. Ranks higher than the microwave in my book. Every kitchen needs one."
