George Foreman makes medium size grill with removable plates, it's much easier to clean. Sometimes I use the one cal olive oil spray on the plates to ensure no sticking or even make a sleeve using parchment paper that way only need a quick wipe down after use.
I really like this grill and use it especially in the summer when it's too hot to cook indoors th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I use this to slow roast a brisket and a pork butt using indirect heating and both came out fantastic! The tiny grease pot didn't cut it, though, but placing a foil roasting pan from the dollar store underneath the grill solved this issue. ;) Both took over 10 hrs to cook and one burner on low kept a steady temp around 225f the entire time. You'll need to know how to put things together and take your time assembling it. Over the next few days after I used it a couple times, I went back and tightened down screws and bolts that needed it after the metal expanded and contracted from normal heating. As for the value, I have used $400+ grills and this one performs just as well in my opinion. Plus, I have a side burner that the others didn't have which I've used for making sauces, rice, and even boiling potatoes. I burns about 1# of fuel with all burners on medium per hour for me so a 20# The tank will last me about a month of cooking several times a week. The cotter pins remove the burners a snap making it easy to clean underneath them so I don't have any flare-ups from collected gunk burning when I grill the next time. I'm going to try smoking with it this weekend so I'll post back and tell how that went.
I'm about to buy this tomorrow. I was concerned about the non removal plates. I had a previous grill that had removel plates and I liked that. I think this will be fine for what I need. Grilled fish, sandwiches, pastries etc. And it's onto 40 quid from Argos.
I had some good times with this but the non-removable plates were not the same not issue. I found fat was able to go under the drip lip and into the plastic seams of the device. I had to clear the underside and this lead me to eventually bin the device. I am not sure my phone experience is typical but I did bring it up in a following video. Is it worth £40 yes 100% I have a £120 version with removable plates but it just does the same thing.
@@BadFoodBlog thanks for the reply. Sorry you had to bin it. I'm literally on my way to Argos now. They have the large one for 51 quid. I think I'll get that and see how it goes. Thanks again for the vid and response.
Get the SMOKELESS! I got the regular one and it cooks great and everything tastes great BUT IT SMOKES and sets of every dam fire alarm in my apartment, all my neighbors call and ask if I've set something on fire. I love it but I'm giving it away and getting the smokeless one 😭😀🙃
I don't think I would want a machine that cooks meat that cannot be properly washed. Thanks for the video; I was going to buy one of these for my younger brother but now I won't.
I wonder why Foreman went back to its original Non Removable Grill Plates Mechanism ..... ( I'm thinking to sell their product at a cheaper price ) ..... ?
I've noticed that my george foreman grill had a slight problem as far as burning, and not being able to work properly. Could it be that I'm not cleaning the burner that's under the heating plate ?
Got the same grill and it cleans very easy with kitchen towel. Non stick surface, then just wipe over with damp cloth. Superb grill.
I love it, I use parchment paper with it most of the time, so there's very little cleanup.

Throw wet paper towels in after you are done it makes it easier to clean
What model is the one he is trying out? For 4 or 5 servings?
Thats a good grill. Been using the exact model and size, 3 days a week fo pastr two years
Better than the giant one I just got!
Love it! ..just ordering one now!🥓💯
Does anyone know how to use the timer function? Can you please walk me through step by step please? Thank you
I dont think this has a timer function I use my Alexa?
Is this the large or medium sized plz ?
Medium I think
why flip over if the grill is equally hot on both sides?
No it was not the top is always hotter!
@@BadFoodBlog ah ha, then that should be their next improvement
Have you had any problems with grease leaking all over the counter?
Yes I am going to do a video on it the food juice surface tension allows it to hug the underneath and the top plate drips as well.
You don't need to flip them. The grill is hot on both sides.
The top is much hotter and because the juices flow down there is uneven cooking!
@@BadFoodBlog are you sure you aint pressing down to hard as that causes much more yeat transfer its about the human error not the product
Thats what I thought too! I never flipped mine over.. Both side cooked the same way in temp/heat.
Correct. You don't have to flip ,it says on the website.

I couldn't eat those without butter
Oh
You don't want to put the plates in the dishwasher

Hey your cursed food video is now over 100 likes I hope to be seeing a cursed food review soon
Yeah I will eat the Poptarts with American cheese, what should I do next? 500 likes but what food…?
@@BadFoodBlog it should be from the same cursed images video i feel
hello, did you try frozen chicken cutlet or other frozen chicken pieces ?
No I tend to throw those in the air fryer
@@BadFoodBlog well, i tried, it needs 11-12 minutes... but i prefer the microwave (7min)
new subscriber here, love from cornwall
Thank you!
Super-Ok
Thanks ☺️
No wipe clean its none stick
It’s because it’s new
Not a proper review until you have tried to clean it.
I know right removing the plates would be the best way! This is a **** to clean
my george forman grill.started smoke in really bad only had it 3vweeks
yeah mine the oil got in the bottom some how I threw it out?
So whats the official verdict?😁😁😁 Buy or don’t buy??
Buy one with removable plates!
I've noticed that my george foreman grill had a slight problem as far as burning, and not being able to work properly. Could it be that I'm not cleaning the burner that's under the heating plate ?
I can’t remove the plates on mine!
Don’t buy this one. It is way too hard to clean after use. Get the model with detachable griddles. Way easier to wash in your sink!
I agree with you on our plugs, Uk has the best plugs, most definitely , great video .
Yes they are!
