George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill and Panini Press, 144-Square-Inch, Platinum, GR2144P

This is my second Foreman grill (my old one died after a long life of hard service), and this one's just as good.Grill arrived in its original (and very sturdy) box. Requires precisely zero assembly - it's all one big piece, you just slide the grease catcher into the bottom and you're ready to cook. There are no buttons or dials to worry about...you plug it in, and when the light turns green (which takes maybe five minutes, probably less), it's ready to grill. While that admittedly means that you don't have a lot of control over the cooking (since it only has two settings - 'off' and 'active'), chances are that you're not cooking some precisely-prepared gourmet meal on a Foreman grill.It cooks a lot faster than you might expect, which is a good thing as long as you understand that. The grill has a good amount of space, too...you could cook half a dozen burger patties at once, easy. I mainly use it for steaks, and I have no problems when I do. The very high cooking heat does tend to make cooking fish a little difficult, however...it's not impossible, and I'll admit that I'm not a terribly skilled cook, but most fish filets just seems a bit too 'delicate' to easily grill on this.Cleaning it is very easy, you just wait until it's cooled off and then wipe the grill plates with paper towels or a moist sponge. The grease catcher is listed as being dishwasher-friendly, and I'm sure it is, but I've never actually needed to try that - as long as you dump the grease out promptly, it can be cleaned within seconds by hand.The only thing that I'd warn people about is the non-stick coating on the grill plates. It's quite easy to damage, so never use metal utensils to turn/scoop food on it, or you'll probably scratch it. Plastic spatulas do just fine.All in all, it's a great grill for someone with limited cooking ability who just wants to cook up some steak or porkchops or whatnot. No complaints.

Spacious design easily accommodates 9 servings, making it perfect for family gatherings.The non-stick plates ensure easy cleanup, and the adjustable temperature control guarantees perfectly grilled food every time. From juicy burgers to crispy paninis, this grill delivers consistent results.It's a kitchen essential for quick and delicious meals.

I absolutely love this grill! It’s got lots of room to cook multiple items of whatever you cook on it, the non-stick plates are really convenient, I love the tilt feature to drain much of the fat away from meats for a healthier option but it can also lay flat if you just fold down the stand in the back. As far as cleaning, it is really helpful to wipe it down while it is still hot, or leave it on after cooking while you take a soaked paper towel (or old towel) and a pair of tongs to saturate the dried-on stuff and can easily wipe away. Every home should have one, it’s really a wonderful and convenient kitchen appliance! I bought another name-brand grill/griddle but I elected to get rid of it. It’s the Foreman Grill for me, all the way!

I had a 4 serving size GF-Grill before this one which was great, because as a guy that lives by himself it made making burgers way easier. The only downside to that one was the size, in order to cook a pack of chicken to make dinner for myself and then have some left over for meal prep I'd have to cook them in 3 different portions instead of all at once; then with burgers 4 patties would sometimes barely fit. With the 9 serving size 4 patties will fit easily side by side, and then you could even put 4 more in front of those for a total of 8. As for chicken, while I can't get a whole pack on there I can get enough for my 2 meal prep meals, and then when those finish throw the remaining ones on there to eat.So in other words the size is a big plus over smaller models.The part the sucks compared my previous smaller model is that the grilling plates aren't removable, and as such it is more difficult to clean. Removable ones are easy, wipe it down while it's warm and then once it cools to a safe level just take it and scrub it throw it in the dishwasher for a cycle and you're done. This however takes way more effort to clean, not that it's hard it's just time consuming. Also as for the drip tray I find it easiest to take some dish soap before you cook and spread it around in there along with just the thinnest layer of water so that the grease from burgers basically just slips right out.As far as cooking, it actually cooks just as well as the smaller version I had previously used and it cooks faster.All that said I would recommend it, especially if you meal prep or if you're just looking to eat at home a little more and you're looking for an easier cooking method

Makes fantastic burgers, Juicy Lucy burgers, and if you love Nathan's style hot dogs, there's nothing better. It heats up fairly quickly and cooks everything quite fast. However, it's a bit of a hassle to clean, since the grill plates don't come off. That said, worth the effort. Also fantastic for panini sandwiches. Use it at least once a week.

Excellent product! Way better cooking with this than any skillet. I use it for bacon, chicken, and pretty much anything you can imagine. This is my 3rd one over many, many years. Takes a very long time to wear one out, but using it every day for many years, that's to be expected. Price is very reasonable. I decided to get the biggest one, the 2nd one I bought, and this one. Never fails, you want to cook more each time you use it. Highly recommended from a long time user. Actually been using these since they were first made!!
