My mother-in-law recently gave us a George Forman Grill. It sat in the cupboard a couple of weeks, until I decided to give it a permanent home on the counter. You know the old saying, ‘out of sight, out of mind’…

I use it at least three times a week, now. I can honestly say that I’m quite happy with its performance. I’ve made hamburgers that turned out great and they only took a few minutes, from start to finish. (You do have to keep an eye on them though; otherwise you might end up will a drier burger than you are used to. They cook VERY quickly.)

I have also thin sliced both good quality steak and boneless chicken breast and prepared it on the George Forman Grill. I freeze it in small packages and use it in dishes such as fajitas and salad.

I’ve grilled a variety of vegetables, with success. My mushrooms and pepper strips have turned out very tasty. I’ve read that some creative grillers have had success with corn on the cob. I have yet to try it.

Hot dogs turn out almost as yummy as if they were cooked on a traditional grill. Butter the inside of your bun and grill that, as well, for even better results.

If you have a George Forman Grill, feel free to share your thoughts about the product, here.
