George Foreman Grills - Why Should You Consider One of These Grills?

When thinking about grills one of the first products that come into our mind is the George Foreman grill. Introduced in 1995 over 100 million grills have been sold since. Admittedly, the name of the former two-times heavyweight champion and his promotion in numerous TV infomercials have probably played a part in reaching these sales figures, but let us be honest; if it had only been an average grill not even George Foreman's name would have saved it.

What makes the George Foreman grills so distinctly different to other electric grills is its non-stick teflon-coated surface. This surface is slightly sloped to allow all fat -- which you will inevitably get when grilling meat, however lean the meat is -- to drain away from the food into one of the two dishwasher-safe plastic trays that are included.

It does not matter whether you want to use the grill to cook some steaks for an intimate candle-light dinner with your other half or if you want to use it to prepare your family dinner in a quicker and healthier way, there is a matching grill for any situation; from small 36 square inch to super large 144 sq inch grills.

One of the often underrated benefits of using an electric grill instead of an old fashioned charcoal grill is the avoidance of potentially dangerous compounds. There are two possible health risks that you can completely avoid when using electric grills: First, charcoal produces hydrocarbons and tiny soot particles that can be potentially dangerous to your heart and lungs. Secondly, so called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) -- that are potentially carcinogenic -- form when fat from your meat drips onto the charcoal.

All Foreman grills are very easy to operate, easy to clean and can be used with a variety of food, e.g. meat, vegetables, fruit, and even sandwiches.

Whether you go for one of the classic George Foreman grills, or the new "Next Grilleration"" version with detachable grilling plates for easier cleaning, you will be rewarded with one of the best grills on the market and a healthy alternative to any charcoal grill.
