bit-tech Shopping: George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill GGR50B

Rating: 10

Time with product: 5 Days

Strengths: durable, easy to set up, large grill, indoor-outdoor use

Weaknesses: tastewise not very different than the foods cooked at broil setting in conventional ovens

Summary: apart from the similar taste of the foods cooked by conventional ovens; no cons are present for this grill. Of course I should say that I have bought this grill for $45. Thus unless you do not have a conventional oven that you can cook at broil setting, I would not pay more than $50 simply because being an electrical grill, you do not get the flavor that you get in a charcoal grill. Other than that the flexibility to use this grill indoor in addition to outdoors is a plus in particular for use in apartments, where charcoal grills cannot be used.

Strengths: Indoor and Out door

Weaknesses: Greasy

Summary: I have since used it indoors without the stand, making it convient on rainy days. It is the easiest grill to use and clean that we have ever owned. You can cook everything evenly, because there are no coals to level out. It can easily hold 4 to 5 steaks, 10 big hamburgers, and the list goes one. I am sure there are some drawbacks to those that swear by gas/charcoal grills, but my gas grill has found a permanent residence in our shed, while George sits ready to use at any time indoors or out on our back porch.

Strengths: 4 stars

Weaknesses: no

Summary: Before I get into this review, we have to understand the product we are looking at: a George Foreman ELECTRIC grill. George Foreman products are essentially useful variations of hotplates. In this case, the hot plate takes the form of a grill (with a stand, a dome cover, a large cooking surface with raised grooves etc...). That being said, this product caters to people (me) willing to try a product that is not a traditional charcoal grill, could be useful in smaller spaces/porches, looks like it is easy to use and clean up, could potentially cut some fat (never hurts, right?), and seems like it will work well as a good back-up grill or a quick solution to throwing mini-bbqs requiring even heat distribution without the hassle of buying/lighting/dumping coal. If that's you, then read on...

Strengths: Easy to clean and well designed. Very easy setup. All the fat and grease will drain to a metal plate underneath. Can be used both indoor and outdoor. The meat taste great!!!

Weaknesses: Not very many weaknesses here. Maybe, the grill can be made a little more sturdy. You will not get the charcoal taste in your meat that you get from charcoal grill.

Summary: I got the grill on sale at a very cheap price. The meat is grilled without the mess of charcoal and tasted great too. I highly recommend this for those who need a quick fix. An excellent product for students and those living in an apartment because it is not too big and stored easily.
