Within the last year my husband and I have become addicted to our George Forman Grill. Now there are so many different types of George Forman grills, but we have the basic model, the original one that came out years ago. Which ever model you do have you will agree with me when I say, “Its Awesome”. If you do not have a George Forman Grill, then you are missing out and need to buy one right away!
Okay, so now you ask me, “Why are you addicted to your George Forman Grill?”, keep reading folks…I’ll give you two reasons why:
1. It grills chicken breasts perfectly, in a matter of minutes. It allows all the extra fat to drip into the drip tray, as well as cooking the meat perfectly; juicy & tender. To cook chicken, you want to take the amount of chicken breasts you need to make for the meal. You want to butterfly the breast so it is not so thick. Season with a very little bit of salt and pepper if you like. Once the Forman Grill is hot, place the chicken on the it. Let each side cook between 2 – 3 minutes. If you do have a temperature dial, turn it to the medium setting so it doesn’t burn. If you do not have a dial, just make sure you watch it so it doesn’t burn as there is no way to control the temperature. It never takes more than 6 minutes to cook the chicken.
2. One thinks of a grill and immediately you think of meat…. but that should never be the cause. Use your grill for all sorts of things. So now my second reason is that it makes the most delicious grilled sandwich. My husband and I love to make all types of grilled sandwiches. Cheese, Ham & Cheese, any lunch meat really. We also like to add a slice of onion and tomato and a little bit a mayo. No need to butter outer side of the bread and no need to flip the sandwich so it doesn’t burn on one side. With the George Forman both sides of the sandwich are grilled evenly.
Do you have a specific reason why you love your George Forman Grill? Is it because it’s easy to use & store? Do you have a favorite recipe you like to do when using the George Forman?

We use our for panini! We like proscuitto, fresh mozzarella, sliced thin, and fresh basil. Sometimes we add roasted red peppers too. I spray the bread with olive oil cooking spray and the sandwiches come out golden and toasty!

After detox, I have found myself on the road to addiction again. I used to have the large Forman, where you could grill 6+ chicken breasts, but now that I don’t eat meat (!), I’ve downgraded to the cleaner, individual-sized one that had been stored in the basement. Having to take turns grilling is the only downside.
Aside from grilling onions and mushrooms to then add to the grilled cheese, I love the Forman for grilling asparagus. Marinate it for a little in balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and it’s good to go.
I can’t say I love the Forman because it’s easy to store–we don’t put it away.

I grilled steak on it just last night. Just a little salt and pepper and it was perfect. I have never thought to make grilled cheese on it. I’ll have to try it for lunch today.

I used mine all the time when my husband was a road warrior and I was preparing meals for one. I would have the butcher wrap up small portions of meat, marinate or season them at home, cook them on the Forman, and serve them with a steamed or roasted vegetable.Those were some of the easiest meals I have ever made!
If you cover the hot plates with foil, it is much easier to clean.
