What Do You Look Out For In George Foreman Grills?

Before buying a George Foreman grill, you need to ask yourself a plethora of questions and answer them accordingly.

What do you need the George Foreman grill for?

Most of the grills from the brand are small, compact-sized, and are electrically powered. If you’re grilling food for a large number of individuals, you may need a larger grill and one which is more powerful. In fact, some situations would warrant the use of an electric smoker or a multi-burner gas grill.

This is why it is very important to ask the question above and give yourself a convincing answer. If you are using the grill for small grilling activities for yourself at home, then, by all means, grab any of their grills. Otherwise, get something larger.

---

Cooking Space

The cooking space of your grill is a very important factor you shouldn’t overlook. This stems primarily from the fact that it is the cooking space that determines the number of items you can cook at once.

Imagine grilling chicken thighs for 30 individuals and the grill can only contain four at a go. You’d have to grill about 7 times and precious time will be wasted before you get the desired results. Most times, the purpose of buying the grill will greatly help you in choosing a befitting cooking space for your needs.

---

Grilling Indoor or Outdoor?

There is a wide selection of George Foreman grills available on the market that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Choose the one that fits your usage purposes and have fun grilling! If you’re selecting an outdoor model, ensure there’s a power outlet close to the place where you want to grill with it.

---

Weight

Portability is one of the reasons why we have compact-sized grills. Fortunately for us, most of the grills from the brand are lightweight and have small dimensions enough to get small meals done in a jiffy. There are also other grills from other brands that are less heavy than George Foreman grills, but when it comes to the build quality and features, the difference is always clear.

---

Energy Efficiency and Fat-Reducing

For an electrically-powered appliance, energy efficiency is very important to ensure that your energy bills don’t soar through the roof.

All the George Foreman grills we’ve come across are all designed to be energy efficient to save energy.

On the other hand, the issue of reducing fat arises from the ability of most George Foreman grills to drain out the fat in food items without unnecessarily causing the food to smoke.

---

Easy To Clean

With their nonstick interior, George Foreman grills are arguably the easiest to clean when you’re done cooking the food. A clean towel dabbed in warm water will work wonders on the grill, totally taking the stains off it and leaving it sparkling.

---

Removable Grates

Most of the George Foreman grills available on the market have removable grates that make it easy to clean the grill when you are done. In fact, considering their design, a handful of them are dishwasher safe compared to other grilling grates from other brands.

---

Extra Features

Adjustable hanging hinges, easy to remove drip trays, temperature controls with light indicators and also integrated thermometers are a handful of the features you’ll find on many grills from the George Foreman Brand for a ridiculously low price.

Cooking Space: 240 sq. inches

Features: temperature indicator and controls, nonstick interior, ample cooking space for 15 servings, removable stand, adjustable air vents, domed lid, drip tray, sloped design.

The GGR50B grill has the George Foreman nonstick coating that makes the grill easy to clean. It also features indicator lights as well as great temperature controls. There are also five heat levels as well as air vents on the domed lid to increase airflow.

Given its ridiculously low price, it’s quite surprising to find out that this little grill here packs quite a punch. As earlier stated, the design is compact, lightweight, and, naturally lightweight. It has a novel design that involves a sloped cooking tray.

#4. George Foreman 4-Serving GRP 1060B Removable Plate Grill

Cooking Space: 72 sq. inches

Features: lightweight, makes 4 servings, dishwasher-safe parts, removable plates, and drip tray, sloped design, temperature indicator light, non-stick coating, etc.

If the George Foreman 2-Serving Classic Plate Electric Indoor Grill doesn’t suit your needs, this particular model would. It’s meant to cook 4 servings at a go and has almost twice the cooking space.

The design of the GRP1060B Indoor Grill with the only exception being the dimensions. This compact-sized grill is lightweight and pretty affordable without costing anything extra. It has the trademark George Foreman non-stick coating.

There is a temperature indicator light on the grill but the absence of an integrated thermometer overshadows it. You’d have to use an external thermometer to check your food. If you’re not a fan of the black color of this grill, you can also choose the platinum-colored model which almost costs twice as much as the black but is definitely a sight to behold.
