The George Foreman Grille

My mom had said I should by one, but I didn't want to blow the $$. But seeing as you all seem to love it, I think I may head out to Sears today.

As far as kitchen gadgets go: All I can say is I am a Pampered Chef addict. Their stuff is awesome. I love the chopper, you can chop onions or garlic in about 20 sec flat! Any chance I get to buy something from them, I am there. Any other Pampered Chef people out there??????????

Meant to say a Crockpot is a must have in my opinion. I love mine, although I have the smaller one and I really need a larger one. Perhaps for my birthday?? I love doing stew, or potroast. Its great!

Sure, rub it in I want one big enough to cook a nice big chicken :chicken: in. My family looooves chicken All the ones I've seen so far have been pretty small, so I think I'll look around when I venture into the city in a couple of weeks.

Mel, I believe there is a 4 qt and a 6 qt and it makes a world of difference. I have the smaller one which makes it tougher to make roasts,etc. Not a lot of room for the veggies and stuff. So if you buy one, try to get the larger. You'll be happier I think.

Yeah, I was thinking on a 6 qt one. My hubby loves stews and homemade soups and such. Roasted chicken with garlic and chunks of potatoes is a hit too Any suggestions on a particular brand that is tried and true?

Mine just says "crock pot".........so I am not sure if that is the actual Brand Name or not.
I'm sure they all work well, and most of them are reasonable priced. I think I paid like $25 for mine about 7 years ago.

Now I want one of those George Foreman grills! We eat chicken all the time, (ugh) I mean, all the time. It's my husband's favorite, so the kids and I just suffer through. It would be nice to have something to cook it easily. I love using my grill, but it's a charcoal grill and is kind of a pain. I love the taste of charcoal grilling though, so I'll never switch to gas.


As far as kitchen gadgets, I love my crock pot. I've got some great recipes, and you can't beat it for cooking roast beef.

I've had the George Foreman grill for about 2 years. I like it, but beware, it's not for meat with bones in it, like a chicken leg.

Seems to be best when the meat is marinated. I soak steaks or chicken in Italian dressing a lot. I have also cooked salmon on it. I like to marinate that in teriyaki.

The other thing the GFG is good for is sandwiches like grilled cheese.

Mmmmmmm...Teriyaki Salmon, that sounds amazing, I'm going to try that...

I have the Hamilton Beach grill also....I love it. I use it mostly for hamburgers and steaks, but have also used it for pork chops and ham steaks.

Meme...I love that Tony Chachere's seasoning!! I put it on my steaks alot!! MMMMMM

Hey Deb M , I would love to hear more about this rotato thing...I have never heard of it...and I hate peeling potatoes!!! Where'd you get it? Sounds like something I definately need!

Hey Dawn, please send me some crockpot recipes that I can use. I would love to start cooking again.


I also love to buy the grill as I love meat. I want to grill chicken, fish, and beef(carne asada. I would also love to grill green onions.

I want to get this one gadget were you can chop veggies easily. I cannot cut onions as I have very sensitive eyes and I start crying whenever I start to chop them. Its been on tv recently.

I also want to get this one pan for cooking pancakes. You don't need a spatula. You just pour the batter into the pan and close the lid. Then, flip it over so the other side can cook. Then just place them on the plate.

Well, thanks to this thread I just pulled out a bag-o-chicken for dinner tonight...plopped it in the sink before I read the label though, and the inks pretty much gone, so I'm not sure what I seasoned it with...looks kinda orange, so I'm guessing either Italian or BBQ? :laughing2

Oh wait, theres chives in there too....hmmmm, what the heck did I use?

:LOL: Mystery Meal! :LOL:

How didyou guys know my butt shakes then I use the Rotato???
You been peering in my windows again?:tounge2: :tounge2:

Deb, are you going to tell me what a rotato is??? I hate peeling potatoes, and this could be the solution!

Oh Debby ........this is soooooooo exciting!!

Go to www.telebrands.com

It really works! Can peel anything. You stick it on - turn the handle and watch it peel away! I take the peels from the taters and make shoe string homefries with them. yummy yummy yummy!!!!!!

You MUST order one NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try.........www.asseenontv.com

In the search section type in Rotato. I found it easier there.
For $17.95 you too can own your own rotato!!

I copied that down, and when I have more time, I am going to go order one!!!! I can't wait!! My hubby eats tons of mashed potatoes, and peeling them always hurts my wrists ( I think I have carpel tunnel) so anyway, this is going to be awesome! THANKS!!!

Those anyone else have problems with onions? I love to eat them with my meals(especially on hamburgers), but I cry all the time!

Use the Rotato!!!!!
No more tears..........

Hey Deb...are you getting some kind of kickback from the Rotato people? :LOL: There's a As Seen On TV shop in the mall next to me, I wonder if they have it? I want one now, with my MS sometimes I don't have much strength in my hands and it sounds like this gadget would be a blessing.

Nena, peel th onion under cold running water, that helps cut down on the fumes when ya cut it.
