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

This is my third or fourth George Foreman grill. I wear them out! The last one was really small, so I got this one this time so I can make 3-5 steaks or pork chops when I have guests for dinner. I used it a couple of times since it came, but I use my crockpot a lot, too, so this gives me options. The pork chops turned out very well and the grill was easy to clean. I like how it has the option of laying flat or being tilted to drain juice off, and it's nice that the grease holder fits underneath and doesn't get bumped away if you move the grill.

Over the years I have used every version of the George Forman Grill. If you can get by with this two serving version, it's the way to go. The larger versions (2 Person +) with removable plates etc. are in many ways harder to handle (bulky/ heavy), hard to store, and the act of cleaning them makes a separate mess. The two serving model is the ultimate small space grill. It heats fast and has a nice heat cycling indicator light (green/red) not found on other models. It is 750 watts which is the perfect power for controlled grilling (plug and play, just monitor the cook time). The smaller heating surface cooks great without turning the kitchen into a sauna. After cooking, I let the grill cool to warm and simply wipe down the plates with a wadded up soapy paper towel (or use prepackaged barbecue wipes). With the exception of French fries, the GFG beats the air fryer. The simplicity of the GFG makes it a 30 year 5 star winner. And the price is right.

it's a good grill, but my hamburger stuck and it took a lot of cleaning to get it clean enough to use. I believe that I will oil if next time to see if that helps. I do like the ability to change from flat to tilted so that the grease will come off. The fresh ground beef cooks better and is tastier than the frozen ones I have in my freezer. With a little help, I hope it will serve my purposes.

Hard to find item but good size and works perfectly!

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 loved this George Foreman until we didn't. Great for two sandwiches. Not a problem to clean. This was great for paninis. It was used every day since March 2024. Unfortunately, the bottom plate heats to warm and doesn't brown anymore. The top plate is now starting to fade. I am looking for its replacement.It is too bad. I loved my bigger George Foreman grill I bought from a K store decades ago. I thought the brand could be trusted.

I had a larger one of these a long time ago but got rid of it when I downsized. I was sorry I did though so got myself a new smaller one. Perfect for what I need.

I have owned a "full size" GF grill for years and love it. I bought THIS one to take with me on business trips. I make 1/2 pound burgers on it with ease. Everything about this grill is great/easy for an experienced GF grill user. Clean up is easy >>> immediately after cooking the last item, with the grill still plugged in, I drizzle/pour about 2 ounces of water across the rear edge of the grill from left to right with the rear elevating extended so that the water runs into the drip catching tray. This removes about 80% to 90% of the stuff on the lower grill. I then follow immediately with a 1/2 damp paper towel (folded over on itself about 5 or 6 times). Quickly wiping down the lower surface and then the upper. Lastly, when the grill is cool I do one last wipe down. I also have no problems with any liquids escaping the grill. I cook 1/2 pound burgers all the time and the catch tray has always been large enough to catch all the escaping "juices" as well as the 2 ounces of water that I use to clean the grill.One cooking trick that I use is that I put a 3 pound weigh on top of the grill when I am cooking 1/2 pound burgers. Cook time is about 5 minutes. Cheers!
