I've had this George Foreman grill since 1994! love it!! I still use it 1-2 times a week - it's like the million mile Toyota. Now and then I even put it in the dishwasher to clean it. It's great for grilling sandwiches, steak, chicken on and on - it's used much more than the oven.
Just got a George Foreman today at Big Lots here in southern ca. It was only 20.00 brand new. cooks like 5 burgers. Family size 5 servings. I’m impressed how fast it heats up. Thanks for a great review on this grill.
I loved the George Foreman Grill. My parents got one as a present and I used it and it was great I was not the biggest fans of infomercial products but I had the best experience with this grill I would grill steaks and sausages loved it. It was great till it finally kind of broke when an accident happen but I had good memories of the George Foreman grill this is the kind of products that is good and I recommend it. It's one of the reasons the new Geroge Foreman bio film trailer I smiled on the last part of the trailer caused they mentioned the grill and I just smiled on it. Where another Sports Legend Joe Di Maggio in his older years promoted Coffee Machines and it did well and the product has a big popularity same with this product.
I think I'll buy one just because I saw his biography film Friday night and i loved it. His true story of his poor and humble beginnings, to Heavyweight Champion of the world, is truly inspiring.
Living in Buffalo, I feel like Foreman grills were an essential for everyone I know because you can't grill outside nearly 6 months out of the year. I have an Evolve Foreman grill with the swappable plates, so it doubles as a waffle maker and flat griddle, but I love how the one you got looks. It's like a quarter the thickness of mine and has more surface area.
It was a really hard decision what model to get. I didn't mention it (I don't think) but I had a bad experience with my older removable plate one, but I can see how they'd be easier to clean. The nostalgia also got to me with this one.
Thanks for your video. I started carnivore like 2 months ago. The smoke of my pan is making me crazy. Looking for alternatives, small in footprint and easy to clean. I appreciate your video.
I bought one about 3 weeks ago use it most days ,i love it and clean up is so simple ..Highly recommend it, though as its only for me i bought the smallest one...
The lawyers from the company screwed Foreman. It made millions and at one point they said the grills were a net loss and that Foreman owed them money. They paid him pennies on the dollar of what they owed him and then declared bankruptcy. They started a brand new company, purchasing the bankrupt assets. That's why Foreman's signature and likeness is not on the package - they lawyered him completely. Because of the contract, he can't even sell his own grills anymore.
I started carnivore diet at age 52 in 2022. Lost 53 lbs in 6 months & just picked up a brand new foreman champ grill for $6.99 brand new never plugged in, from Goodwill, so I can stay carnivore when traveling (cook in hotel room).
I use an airfryer with 2 baskets. No butter or oil needed and the fat from the meat drops down into the bottom of the basket so the meat is really lean. I bake potatoes in 1 basket and meat in the other one. Its compatible with a dishwasher so even cleaning it is a breeze. I truly highly recommend one!
Tip: A Yoshii Grill Mat on a George Foreman cuts cleaning by 80% -or more! Plus you can safely cook salmon on (using the Yoshii Mat) without worrying about the salmon falling apart! Only $10 bucks for two mats! #YoureWelcome
I got the medium one here in the UK the other day very pleased, but the old one had a temperature control. I thought that was a good idea but still happy with the product . Inside, it says George Foreman that stamps it on the bacon for that was kind of fun.
Health & Fitness when ya met the Legendary Richard Simmons in our High School Gym class back in the 90s. Picked one up today as I am the same way with the Grill but mines charcoal, an when ya want a burger at 2am u could fire up the grill but its a hassle!~
The George Foreman grill is timeless steaks, sandwiches, etc. You can grill all sorts of stuff on that thing great for if you have a place with no real grill
I used it back in 04/05. Carne Asada is pretty decent on this. Get a wet marinade. Most Carne Asada is Chuck Steak cut very thin, or some other cut like flank/skirt. For such cuts, it's pretty good. I also did chicken fajitas. Not bad. Never liked it with burgers
Just remember not to use it if you have birds. Teflon heated at high temps produces a tasteless odourless gas that kills birds. I found that out the hard way and lost my beloved pet bird.
I basically do what this lady is doing in her video ua-cam.com/video/iszQYoV-moA/v-deo.html basically throw a bit of water on it, turn it on to heat for a bit, unplug, then using a damp sponge, then finish up with paper towel.
Ive owned several over the past decade. The problem I have with it is that you get about a year (give or take a few months) out of the elements if you use it daily. I had that expensive smokless model with the touch controls, the elements died after a year. I had the cheap model with no temp control, same thing after about a year the elements died. Also around that time the coating starts coming off no matter how carful you are cleaning it. If it was only occasional use it would last alot longer so meh, just depends if you ok with tossing it in the trash every year..
@@hybridresistance It's great! We have the pro XL model, it's just a grill, but it does it's job well. Has a tendency to burn seasonings though unless they're finely ground.
The old one had a toxic chemical on the coating. You've got to be real careful with this stuff. Not sure about this one I'd have to research it but I'm already set in my cooking ways
@@stay0098 what do you mean almost everything? There's always been ways to cook since the beginning of time without using something toxic. Long as your use your noggin
I’m getting one as feb up of oven smoking up everywhere and not keen of the fat mess. As don’t mind little bit of cooking smoke but not chuffing tons and end up smelling all over my flat lol.
The answer is yes....had single and still hav med size one that we still use....its just like the Total Gym.....u dont realize how good a job it does until u use one!👍
Funny. I just brought this up to my girlfriend and she had no idea what I was talking about. I was looking for a video to send her and of course yours comes up! Great explanation!
I always got ground beef on hand, I should just do that. Guess I'm lazy with my burgers. And yes, it does seem like the air fryer is the "new" foreman of the times.
I had the large one back in the day. Now I have a Cuisinart.grill. I prefer the removable plates because I can clean them without getting the hinges mucked up, and because it has grates for waffles and other types of sandwiches.
Appreciate you watching brother. Sometimes hard to find that balance and please everyone, but I put timestamps in all my videos if someone want to jump to a section. Thanks again.
The Foreman grill has play out. It wasn't that great from the beginning. Especially when it comes time to put water on an electrical appliance. But he probably has someone to clean his for him and he did not think about that.

I had one, it was great. Many cheap steaks and burgers were made on my George Forman Grill!
Great for bacon quick and easy in the morning.
You can cook an expensive steak on it just as well. Just don't be a mental case and you will see it's the same thing

I didn't know those things could go in the dishwasher! That thing is a tank

That movies is going to be great.
The George Foreman Grill is the most used appliance in my kitchen. It's used at least 3 times a week. Best appliance when cooking for 1 person.
I think I'll buy one just because I saw his biography film Friday night and i loved it.
His true story of his poor and humble beginnings, to Heavyweight Champion of the world, is truly inspiring.
Awesome. I got to see that movie
Ditto. He is an inspiration.

It would be nice to know who really designed it or actually engineered it. The engineer deserves some credit
George Foreman duh
Thanks for your video. I started carnivore like 2 months ago. The smoke of my pan is making me crazy. Looking for alternatives, small in footprint and easy to clean. I appreciate your video.

Same, cooked chips, fish fingers, corn beef, toast,tuna , veggie burgers
I do frozen burgers when just eating by myself. Done when the light kicks back on!
I have a new idea for George Forman. He should create the George Forman Air Fryer
Next billion dollar idea right here.
The lawyers from the company screwed Foreman. It made millions and at one point they said the grills were a net loss and that Foreman owed them money. They paid him pennies on the dollar of what they owed him and then declared bankruptcy. They started a brand new company, purchasing the bankrupt assets.

Im 29 and ofc i know the foreman grill. Never had one but always wanted my dad to buy one
Love the kind hearted George foreman and his grill.
had good few foremans over the years , still great ,
thanks for the review mate exactly what i wanted going to get one today
Hulk Hogan was asked to sponsor the grill before George Foreman but he declined the offer 😭
I heard that. That's got to hurt for Hogan.
I am glad George Foreman got to sponsor it Hulk Hogan would not done as good
@@ASMRFOODIEPIE Hogan would have made it with Red and Yellow. You got to admit, that would have been cool.😂
I started carnivore diet at age 52 in 2022. Lost 53 lbs in 6 months & just picked up a brand new foreman champ grill for $6.99 brand new never plugged in, from Goodwill, so I can stay carnivore when traveling (cook in hotel room).
Awesome. What's your typical meat intake for the day?
Mike, can you make some videos with some supplement and diet recommendations. Depending on the seasons or Total Gym workout. Thanks
I'll look into that for sure. I love talking nutrition and supplements, but I'm not sure how many people want to hear me talk about that.
I use an airfryer with 2 baskets. No butter or oil needed and the fat from the meat drops down into the bottom of the basket so the meat is really lean.
I bake potatoes in 1 basket and meat in the other one.
Its compatible with a dishwasher so even cleaning it is a breeze.
I truly highly recommend one!
That sounds awesome. Already having a large air fryer (not like yours) made me lean to this because it was smaller.
Baked burgers are kinda not great
You can cook meat in an air fry?
The meat doesn't taste the same in air fryers

Love the foreman grill. The model you got looks awesome!
Thank you. I have to say that since this review, we still use often even in as the weather has gotten warm.
I have two the smokeless one and a normal one which I have had for 15 years. They are great
Very solid video.
Much appreciated
The George Foreman grill is timeless steaks, sandwiches, etc. You can grill all sorts of stuff on that thing great for if you have a place with no real grill
I use one almost everyday
Yes I can't make a steak better than when I use a George Foreman
I used it back in 04/05. Carne Asada is pretty decent on this. Get a wet marinade. Most Carne Asada is Chuck Steak cut very thin, or some other cut like flank/skirt. For such cuts, it's pretty good. I also did chicken fajitas. Not bad. Never liked it with burgers
Rib eye comes out fine on a Foreman!
I've had mine for over 20 years now. It's still in very good condition as well. That's because it's in the garage!
I just rediscovered the Foreman. Its amazing. The grills nowadays are all terrible quality and fuel inefficient like you said.
Just remember not to use it if you have birds. Teflon heated at high temps produces a tasteless odourless gas that kills birds. I found that out the hard way and lost my beloved pet bird.
Good to know. Never heard of that.
Air fryer is just as dangerous as they are Teflon coated.
Tell us about the simple cleanup please
I basically do what this lady is doing in her video ua-cam.com/video/iszQYoV-moA/v-deo.html basically throw a bit of water on it, turn it on to heat for a bit, unplug, then using a damp sponge, then finish up with paper towel.
I think it's a great product for dieters or little girls who want to play BBQ but you can't compare it to a propane powered Grill
Still got my and still love it..
Still using mine since this review.
Cleans super easy but do the top first then the bottom

I used to love these. Now I prefer the Ninja foodi grill, which not only drains fat but also gives a very good sear. Same basic idea though.
I was actually looking into that one too. I linked it down below.

Almost everything back in that time had toxic chemical coating 😅

Looking good 🫦😍

Is this the 25820 George Foreman grill?
I don't believe so, this is the model in the video amzn.to/3J0Jtct
Sometimes I like to think that George Foreman Grills are Easy Bake Ovens for dudes. 🙂
lol. Pretty much. I saw an article how these grills "taught men to cook". I could pretty much live on foreman+meat+honey mustard+then anything else
Female here we have one great fit meat
That looks great , just wondering, how long would it take to cook a 1 inch thick rib eye steak?
You can do it, just need a bit more time. I know I've cooked thick cut steaks on here.
The answer is yes....had single and still hav med size one that we still use....its just like the Total Gym.....u dont realize how good a job it does until u use one!👍
Very true on the similarities between the Total Gym.
George Foreman just launched a new George Foreman Air fryer
I got to check that out.
I hate that one. It worked fine for a few months but after a while the preheat would take FOREVER to get to the right temp.
Yeeeeeaaaah, bb. Whooooah!
Funny. I just brought this up to my girlfriend and she had no idea what I was talking about. I was looking for a video to send her and of course yours comes up! Great explanation!
I know what’s good brother. I still use this weekly.
@@hybridresistance One of the greatest bachelor inventions ever created!
No temperature control?
Unfortunately no. I do feel like you can almost eyeball it for most meat.
I thought it retains the flavor
I agree 100%
Hey Mike, I thought air frying was the new rage today !!! 🤣 Next time use fresh ground beef and you'll be able to fit 9 burgers on the grill !👍
I always got ground beef on hand, I should just do that. Guess I'm lazy with my burgers. And yes, it does seem like the air fryer is the "new" foreman of the times.
Drip tray is far to small
This should've also been hulk hogan grill
Would have been nice, I think he opted for a juicer or blender
👍👍
Sorry but the food that is cooked out of that thing looks dry and undercooked at the same time
I guess it didn't do it justice. Love the way this thing cooks!
Cooks great don't want nasty greasy hamburgers
I was only goi g to buy it because of him... im out
L I K E 👍👍👍👍👍 💥🤩💥🤩 💥 🤩💥🤩💥 💯💯
Thanks for watching.
I had the large one back in the day. Now I have a Cuisinart.grill. I prefer the removable plates because I can clean them without getting the hinges mucked up, and because it has grates for waffles and other types of sandwiches.
You're right about the hinges.
What model is your cuisinart?
Jesus is Lord!
Amen!
Dude talks too much
Appreciate you watching brother. Sometimes hard to find that balance and please everyone, but I put timestamps in all my videos if someone want to jump to a section. Thanks again.
Seemed fine to me
