George Foreman 2-Serving Classic Plate Electric Indoor Grill and Panini Press, Black, GRS040B

This is my second George Foreman grill and I only changed because I needed a family size, the old I had for many years. This new family size grill heats up quickly and cooks food evenly on both sides, which saves a lot of time. I like that excess grease drains away, making meals a bit healthier. It’s very easy to clean thanks to the non-stick ceramic surface. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable grill and a great value for the price.

I bought a George Foreman "Submersible" Grill 18-months ago and was very disappointed with it - the "durable non-stick surface" was noticeably dulled the first time it went through the dishwasher, and after the second wash I had to use non-stick spray to prevent food from adhering to it - on top of that the drip-pan was made of brittle plastic, soon broke, and wouldn't you know it - they're on backorder. So, I decided to go back to a more conventional design like my older GFG's, and this one has been fantastic so far. The first thing that jumped-out at me was how it heats-up in literally HALF the time the "submersible" design takes - 2.5 minutes vs. 5 minutes. And it cooks faster, too - probably because the quicker-heating (lower thermal-mass, more-conductive embedded heating elements) grill is better at keeping itself at the proper temperature, with less delay when the temperature starts to drop (along with less overshoot). For whatever reason the PFAS-free non-stick surface is also far superior to the newer "submersible" design - I have trouble keeping burgers on the grill because it was so slippery (without using any anti-stick spray) even the slightest tilt causes them to want to slide on the grill. Cleanup is a breeze - you just spray it down in the sink while it's still hot and everything comes right-off in seconds. The 12" x 6" grill size of this design is 10% less area than the 10" x 8" of the "submersible" design, but for some food-dishes a longer/narrower design is actually better for fitting multiple servings on the grill than a more-square one. Oh, and this thing weighs WAY less than the "submersible" design, and can be easily stored standing on its side to save space. And it's less than 2/3rds the price of the "submersible".

I ordered this to replace a very old foreman grill that was family-sized — it could fit 6-8 burgers. I was very surprised to open up this “family-sized”/5-serving grill to see the small cooking surface. Maybe if you have a family of 3 or less or eat like birds it’s family-sized/5 servings. Fits 3 burgers at a time, 2 medium sized steaks. That said, it cooks quickly enough to do several rounds of meat to cook a true “family-sized” meal. It cleans up easily with paper towels like my old one. Just don’t expect an actual “family-sized” cooking surface and you will be happy with the grill.

I've been enjoying this little grill. It's very basic, no temperature controls and very simple to use. Makes a tasty burger in a jiffy and I even enjoy cooking my ribeyes in it. Previously, I was making my burgers in a skillet and they were OK but because this heats up to a nice temp, it sears the meat nicely and gives a better flavor. It cooks very quickly as well. Top and bottom at the same time, no flipping. You can experiment to find out how long is perfect for you depending on the thickness etc. It does get very hot so don't plan on moving it around after it heats up unless you have high temp gloves or something. It also cleans up very easy as well. Here is one very important tip I can give you. Never EVER spray so called non stick sprays such as Pam on it or any other non stick skillet, air fryer basket etc. Because it will ruin the non stick surface and deteriorate it fast. I learned this the hard way after ruining several non stick items I owned and not knowing that the sprays were the cause. I learned that was cause in an article I read and since I stopped using it and only using regular oil in a sprayer if needed ( I use avacado oil) my non stick stuff stays like new and remains slick! Most of the time, you won't need any oil anyway if the meat has enough fat. The cooking surface is rather small but I find it perfect for me since live alone. It would probably be OK for 2 people also because it cooks rather quickly. Way back in the 70s we had presto burger. And they were great. Basically the same as this but the single version had a round insert to pre shape the burger. They also had double versions etc that had different inserts to cook different things. This grill works exactly the same way and make the same delicious burgers. It also makes great paninni as well, I've made several in it and they were crispy and delicious. Very happy with this simple purchase.

We use this all the time!! Super easy, fast, and super easy to clean! Can cook so many things on there saves doing a bunch of dishes!

Works great, like it coming apart to clean and even submerge in water or wash in the dishwater. But why oh why can they never put an off switch on these GF grilles??

Works well. Great size and value.

Where I plug in my grill makes a difference. The Foreman grill with more watts does work much better, unless you run into wattage problems. The 2 sided quick, mild cooking of a steak I think is the reason I want to cook steaks (beef, ham, etc.) on a grill. I find the meat tastes much better and I expect it is better for health reasons. My experience with George Foreman grills demonstrates to me that they produce very good grills. I also purchased the OXO brush/silicone scraper and it makes cleaning even easier. The smaller size is easier to clean because I can lean part of it into the sink. But the larger model has the grill parts removeable and that is even better. There is almost no smoke.

Works great. Compact, easy to clean and store. Perfect size.
