George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine

Since my housing community does not allow outdoor grills, I wanted to be able to grill foods, especially during the summer as it the best time to grill. I shopped around trying to decide on the best indoor grilling machine for my money and was curious to see if there was really a difference in taste. Most of the products looked the same and seemed to have similar features. Basically, you plug the item in and you put your meat, vegetables, chicken, etc. on top of the grill place and then put the top down to cook, while the fat drips onto a plate or a tray.

Of course, George Foreman's commercials for the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine were always the most appealing to me so I decided to keep a look out for a great sale. I decided to start with the small grilling machine rather than the family size grill as I don't usually cook large portions. After finding it on sale one day, I thought that I would give it a go as I had also heard so many great things about this product. The George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine is simple enough to operate and comes with the drip tray and plastic spatula. What you need to do is make sure that you allow the unit to preheat prior to grilling as you can see by the orange signal light on the top of the unit.

My Experience
I started with two burgers as that is the type of food demonstrated in the commercials. The patties were put onto the grill and then the lid was closed down. I don't think it could have been any simpler. I could hear the sizzling of the meat as it was being grilled. Also, I could see that the fat was dripping into the tray. After about five minutes, the burgers were done. I could see that it was nicely grilled on both sides. In addition, you could see all the fat that was drained from the meat. I could not believe that all the fat I saw was what I would normally eat when I fry burgers. The taste was delicious and the meat was very moist and juicy. I also did not have to add a lot of seasonings as the grill enhanced the flavors of the meat. Since that time, I have grilled chicken, fish, onions, bell peppers and other vegetables and was very happy with the results.

Clean-up Is Fast & Easy
The best way to clean this unit after grilling is to allow the grill to cool down, but not to the point of being cold as it may be harder to clean. Basically I use a small sponge and I had to be careful to just tip the machine in order to rub off the residue from the top and bottom of the grilling plates and into the sink. Then I would place the drip tray into the dishwasher and call it a day.

Not For Large Parties(Unless You Purchase A Larger Model)
As the machine I chose was not very large, I was limited to the amount of food that can I could grill. At the most, I would say about the equivalent of two medium sized burgers or three small boneless chicken breasts would be good. If you don't have a large family or live alone and don't mind the smaller portions, this unit is great.

I have used this grilling machine and have no problems with the performance as well as the taste of the food. Eventually I plan to upgrade to the larger model as it would be nice to be able to cook larger portions.
