- My Daughter recently found an old George Foreman Grill in her grandmothers cabinet she wasn't sure what it was. She asked if i wanted it and of course i said yes

That heat reflector is is in upside down, you are supposed to feed it in from the top down, FYI.
You are absolutely right I figured that out the next day lol
@@roselsimpson858 Okay someone beat me to it. Yes goes in from the top down, then the grease tray tucks just underneath the very bottom of it so the grease drips down into the grease tray and not behind the tray. Also the door will pull of if you bring it straight up to the very top of the unit for easy cleaning.
I recieved one of these for my bridal shower in 2005. It came with the grill in a 2 pack deal. I just brought it out today for the first time and am using your video to figure it out. Thanks!!!
You are going to be glad you kept it. It makes everything great Let me know how your 1st meal turns out. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great content
That's mighty nice of you to take care of your wife and her Mother, with a good meal.
My mother n law loves my cooking and loves to be a part of what we do around the house so it's my pleasure any time i can put a smile on her face
Did you find the manual? If not, look for one online. You need to read about assembly because the reflector plate is upside down--the solid slanted part helps the drippings run into the tray at the bottom (you have the vented part down there). Your chicken turned out beautiful--it is really hard to get a chicken perfectly centered on the spit so it doesn't flop around. It's not a fun machine to clean, either. I've taken the reflector outside and used spray oven cleaner on it which helps.
It appears I missed this comment thank you so much this was very helpful
Thanks for noticing that, Jane.....I noticed that he didn't have the reflector plate in correctly too, my George Foreman Jr. Rotisserie has been going strong for about 20 years now👍👍👍👍👍
I just bought the baby version, so excited to use it. It’s a brand new one in a box. I’m going to make roast pork belly and use the basket insert.
I now have three of them lol I just bought the Baby George Forman from Ebay just received it about an hour ago I have the large one it hold two large chickens the medium size one hold one large chicken this Baby one I never heard of is small probably would hold a chicken no more than 5lbs I would say, but it's a good size for myself so that's good. This is one of my go to appliances, because it's easy to use and you don't have to babysit your chicken when it's cooking when my adult children come over in the summer I will set both of them on a table in the back and put two chickens in one and a pork roast in the other while it cooks I would make a salad, rice, beans ect. than on my regula outside grill I would put a few burger's and hotdog's lol I would not get rid of them never I love them so much it's sad I've been trying to get another large one or medium with no luck I don't even know if they make them anymore...
Wow you really like your George Foreman's but I'm right there with you. You are so right about the baby sitting you just set it and forget it. I love your system for getting everyone fed with minimum effort, Great job. Stay tuned we got more good stuff coming Thanks for watching!
Thank You, My Mother Passed away recently and I found a brand new one in the house in the box with all the parts.
So Sorry to hear about your mom, As you know Moms are the gift that keep on forever giving and your gave you a great gift with that George Foreman Grill. Now go get you a steak, some wings, or burgers and do momma and me proud. Update me and let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching!!!
I love your energy. The way you explained things reminds me of my father. He is a barbecue and roasting master. I love to challenge him in a fun-loving and respectful way. If I can cook something that puts a smile on his face then I know that he approves. Let's just say, I got that smile. And that's okay because he'll never say that I can cook better than him.🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing and teaching. These are the types of things that keep families eating healthy and eating together. May your family stay blessed and healthy.
Wow thank you so much my parents are no longer with me so it brings joy to my heart to hear that you bring joy to your fathers heart with a special meal that he approves of. I am glad to hear that my approach reminds you of your skillful father. That is the best compliment i have had in a while blessings to you as well...stay tuned for more!
I just bought one yesterday at a resale shop. For $6.99 with manual. Doesn't look like it's even been used. So you're the first video I watched about it. Thank you! I did read in comments about the reflector being upside down. Thanks for that info. Your chicken looked amazing and I'm excited to try this bad boy out. Subscribed and liked your detailed video! Thanks!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 AND HAVE A SAFE HAPPY NEW YEAR
6.99 that wasn't a deal that was a steal. As for the reflector being upside down, one of my favorite sayings is " I make the mistakes for you don't have to" lol. Can't wait to get an update from you on how your 1st cook turns out. Thank you so much for the sub, stay tuned lots of good content on the way in 2023. Merry Christmas to you stay safe and enjoy the Holidays
Yes sir I bought one fer ten bucks. A great tutorial on how to use it. Thank you
Excellent great deal! You are so welcome glad I could help!
Also, I'm loving this video. It makes me feel like I'm helping my dad or grandpa set this up. Big time dad energy!
Yes adding the eggs to the potato water saves dishes and time been doing it for years. Glad I could bring that Dad energy to life for you, that's what I lol. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great content.
thanks....looks delicious. I just was given a second hand one and am looking forward to using it. Can anyone tell me how to clean the glass door please, I don't have a manual and can't find any instructions on line. Thank you.
Cheryl I am answering your question in your own video. #tonight
Great content! The older stuff tends to work forever if taken care off.
It sure does, I'm living proof lol. Thanks and thanks for watching
Just found one of these on Facebook marketplace for cheap. Thank you for helping me make up my mind on the thing it looks like a nice unit.
Awesome Glad I could help! I think you are going to like it.
I was given one still in the box, new the other day. This video helped a lot. Anxious to try it out.
You were given one, that's awesome you are sitting on a goldmine of flavorful goodness. Break that thing out of the box throw in some seasoned wings and let your boy know what happened. Talk to you soon!
I have the larger version of this I bought many years ago when they first came out I'm still using mine years later. I love to use it for boneless pork roast comes out so juicy
I know right, I still love mine as well I am currently marinating a steak as we speak and George might be a good candidate to cook it! Thanks for stopping by stay tuned for more updates and great content.
Right on!
I love mine. I found a mini one at a second hand store never used so I bought it and gave the full size one to a friend. It is the best for all kinds of foods. Your metal back splash is upside down. It goes from the top down. Thanks for the video. I'm doing a sirloin roast on my mini tomorrow
I absolutely agree one of the best cooking appliances in my arsenal. Thanks you are one of a few who caught that the back splash was upside down. Rookie mistake lol. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great content
Just bought one, I really enjoyed your vid sir! Very jolly.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed. I think you are going to enjoy the grill as well. Thank you! Keep Watching more great videos on the way.
Thank you for posting this! I currently have a 10 year old Forman grill that I barely ever use lol. I think I’ve only used it twice maybe? Anyways, I plan to use it this year sometime in my apartment and I was super concerned of its age that I wouldn’t be able to make anything but now that you posted this, I am more confident
You are so welcome, glad you found the video helpful. Keep us updated on how it goes. Thanks for watching and be sure to stay tuned for more updates
I have one of these and I love it
I know right this is my favorite cooking tool
Dude you put the shield in upside down it slides in from the top and the little tabs hook on the heating element arms. Also the grease tray slides into the unit off the table once you get that shield out of the way
Yep, a subscriber pointed that out to me a while back. Thank you that's what we are here for to help each other. Thanks again and Thanks for watching
Your video showed me how to use the Baby George. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Muy buen video gracias, lo que más me gusta de eso es que haces las cosas con amor y eso es lo que trasmites, eso es lo que el mundo necesita, Dios te bendiga mucho.aqui en República Dominicana comemos mucho pollo 🐔🐔🐔 🐔
Eres muy bienvenido encantado de que lo disfrutes
I just got giving one of these with the jumbo grill Brand new in the box
Congratulations You just struck cooking GOLD. The George Foreman is my favorite cooking tool. If you love to cook you will love it.
I just found one brand new outside in the garbage omg and watched your video.. Ty thumbs up all the way. Btw mines called George baby
Wow what a great find.. What other gems do you have hidden away. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching stay tuned
@@roselsimpson858 I'm gonna try it out hopefully tomorrow.. I'll let you know. It was all in plastic. I was the first to touch it..
I was just gifted with one too. My daughter just gave it to me yesterday. Bought a chicken today and hence why im here. 😁
Well congratulations on being gifted a masterpiece. I no longer have mine, but I hope you find the videos helpful.
@@roselsimpson858 right on! Thanks
Yeah you got the reflector in upside down. you have to pu it in top to bottom. Ive had one for years. It's been a while since I've used it and I'm craving me some rotisachick.
Yep I was new to the George Foreman game back then and I definitely had it in backwards. I'm sitting here right now thinking about firing it up. Thanks for the comment stay tuned for more great content.
@@roselsimpson858 I haven't used mine in years, I gotta getta cluckin.
I had one of these in grad school (gift from my dad). I was in the south and could get whole chickens on sale for $.59/lb. Glory! I ate so much chicken, baste w/BBQ sauce at the end. Think I might see if I can acquire another... in 2023
Same here when I was in college churches fried chicken got all my money, probably why I have cholesterol issues now lol. I actually got rid of this unit, I have too many toys and something had to go. My air-fryer does everything that the George Foreman does. It's a great unit so by all means if you find one get it.
Today I bought one in value village $29, new, never use! Same model. Thanks 🙏🏻
Great purchase great price you are going to love it. Keep us updated
Mine did perfectly for over 15 years
Very well built appliance not sure they make things as well anymore. Thanks for tuning in stick around for more great content.
I just got this and never heard of it. I got it at a yard sale looks like it was used maybe one time. No box or instructions of course but all the accessories are with it. For 5$ I couldn’t say no
5$ you got the deal of a life time, and the good news is you don't need the instructions you have my video lol. I think you are going to love it. Let me know when you use it. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more great content.
@@roselsimpson858 I’ve done halves. Not a whole chicken yet but it came out amazing. I just need to figure out how to get the skin a little crispier. I can’t stand soft chicken skin but as far as flavor, moistness and convenience. I’m really happy with it. I’ve even baked garlic bread in it and fish. I’m very happy with it.
@@roselsimpson858 I subbed so I don’t have to look up the manual. Good shit, I appreciate u bro
@@ripneighborhoodniprip8303 My family and I prefer crispy skin as well. I have found coating the bird with a little oil helps with the crispiness a little and acts as a seasoning binder as well.
Slide the reflector sheild in FrROM the top down............
Yes I learned that the hard way lol
thank you!
You're welcome!
I just bought one of these brand new in the box today. Hope it works. Wish me luck.
That was an awesome deal. Keep us updated on if it worked? I think you are going to like it. Thanks for sharing stay tuned for more great content!
I got one, I love it.
I would put that old boy up against any of my other cooking methods and have no doubt about it. Love mine too!
You are awesome! Thank you for your video.
You are so welcome!
Still my favorite gadget ❤❤❤❤
I really loved it as well especially the rotisserie feature but now that I have the air fryer I know longer needed my George Foreman.
This helped me somewhat as I have the Big George and its a little more complicated got it brand new but no manual. Does anyone know where i might find one?
Glad you enjoyed the video, not sure where you can find the manual other than on line. If I do find the manual on line I will fwd the information. Thanks for watching!
I remember that comeback fight, off the top of my mind i forget who it was against... I remember they were practically saying george was going to die in the ring and george put him to sleep 😴 if im correct
I remember hearing hulk hogan was kicking himself in the a$$ for yrs bcuz he was appraoched with the opportunity to endorse the grill and said 👎... Big mistake hulkster, george saw the possibilities and you didnt
Great video
When he came back at 40 his toughest fight was Micheal Moorer, Micheal was beating him to death and George slipped one in on him
@@roselsimpson858 i believe that is the fight im thinking of... I remember it being around 94 95 maybe... My brother in law was watching me and he was wild af( heavy drinking irishman from long island lol) and we were watching the fight and george just seemed to drop him out of nowhere... My brother in law was going crazy, very animated dude so his reaction was off the charts lmao
How did you release the chicken from the element?
It doesn't stick at all just let it cool for a few minute use 2 oven mitts or gloves pull the end cap off and the the bird slides right off. Thanks for watching
Why wear gloves if you're going to touch the string.... And the grill
As long as i'm cooking for me and my family i really don't care to wear gloves at all because it get complicated like in this situation. That's why We cook poultry to 160 internal temp all the bacteria will be killed. I think i have the solution you will see it in a upcoming vid soon stay tuned. Thanks for the comment
You but the heat deflecter in wrong
Yes as I was Informed sometime ago. I just got rid of the unit. Thanks for commenting stay tuned for more updates
What did you use as a marinade/ seasoning? What did you do for prep. Looks good!
It's been a while but I think at this time I was using Dales to marinate and my Rosey's /KFC seasoning which I did a video on a few weeks ago. Hope this was helpful if not I will dig deeper. Thanks for watching stay tuned for future updates
What is the fixed oven temperature of it
I haven't found the exact set temp yet but i do know it will cook a rib roast and the suggest temp is 350 so i know it at least reaches 350 most other George Foreman grills reach 400 i would guess 400 is the max set temp for this one as well. i will continue to look..Thanks
Appliance, not utensil.
Sometimes the correct words escape me. Thanks
@@roselsimpson858 haha. I will say I agree, mine's still going strong for almost 20 years. Although the dial busted. No biggy,.
Would 7lb turkey be too heavy to cook in this
I think a 7ib turkey would fit in the George Foreman with no problem. The Average chicken weighs about 5 to 8 pounds and they fit just fine. Thanks for the question stay tuned for future content and updates.
A very rare find.. I wonder if it would do a Prime Rib 🤔..
We will find out soon i have a Brisket in it right now as we speak, I will try Prime rib in the coming weeks
The grease gimmick is just that. Grease drips off any grill. The trick is to dig deeper in your wallet for leaner meats. 😁😁😁
My Pockets are shallow, so I go for the mid-grade lol
@@roselsimpson858lol I hear that. Esp with the rise of food prices. 😭
Flifting years old bro that’s a lot of years 😉
Yeah I know lol
