... a George Foreman grill?

It was the entire product category when it started. The other grills didn't compete - they were too complex. Their removable plates were a PROBLEM the Foreman grill was trying to solve. I've seen a couple different pre-Foreman grills, and they suck AND blow. Heavy things that look awkward as heck to use, and would obviously be a huge pain to clean. They didn't have the slope of the Foreman grill, so you had to clean all the squeezin's out of somewhere in the machine. (The way everything runs off in the Foreman grill can make things too dry/lean if you overcook them *at all*, but it sure makes it cleaner.) I bought a big waffle maker (4 waffles at once) for $5 because it had removable, reversible plates (waffle surface on one side, flat with a trough around the edge on the other side). I figured I'd be able to make burgers on it, and the fat wouldn't run off as much as with the Foreman, and I'd be able to remove the plates for washing. That was true, but what I didn't foresee was how much splattering the Foreman prevents by having the sides curl around the food somewhat. The waffle maker cooked burgers, but it threw grease everywhere, and the whole thing -- and the counter and wall behind it -- needed cleaning afterwards. George is a big goof, but good for him. -- Aaron -- 285/235/200 -- http://aaron.baugher.biz/ "If you hear hoofbeats, you just go ahead and think horsies, not zebras." |

Actually, he's a very serious, determined guy who still has a lot of anger. The affable clown is his game face. |

George is a big goof, but good for him. Actually, he's a very serious, determined guy who still has a lot of anger. The affable clown is his game face. And you would know this, how, exactly? |

Did you know that George Foreman has several sons whose names are George? All of his sons are named George, not a bad way of avoiding confusion. .....And unlike most former boxers, George seems to have survived mostly-unaddled and (at least on the occasion I ran into him in a Southeast Texas Wal-Mart) both smiling and gracious, well mannered in a fashion we used to call "a credit to his raising".

I'd say he recovered well! I'm happy for the big guy, but I hope he stays out of the ring. He was a terror in his prime. The only way Ali could beat him was to outsmart him. I like George Foreman. I have a closetfull of his clothes. |
