The odor of those items cooking indoors can ruin a good meal. You may also find that the next time you use the grill you will still smell those odors as the grill preheats. I'd also avoid cooking meats that are marinated as the sauces will burn quickly and and leave you with a tough mess to clean up. The grill can't be submerged so soaking can't be done and trying to simply wipe burnt items from the cooking surface is difficult. Seasoned chicken, pork and vegetables come out quite good as well as grilled sandwiches. -- Cheese http://cheesensweets.com/contact/cheese |

I normally marinate them, cook and freeze in single serving bags for later use. I've only cooked ground beef on it a few times but it works well for them, too. Do a google and I think you'll find some good GF grill recipes. Beverly |

George Foreman grill ??
I've grilled fish repeatedly on my GF grill and never had a problem. Make
sure you use fresh fish and clean it right away and no trouble there.. (also put it over the stove so you can use the fan to keep the whole house from smelling but that's also true for pan cooking !) Same thing with marinated meats and chicken. I grill everything on that thing. The trick to cleaning it easy is that when you're done grilling, unplug the thing and put a soaked papertowel in it, close and let the steam do its work. Once you're done eating it's easy to clean. now I have the one that you can remove the grilling plates and soak them so it's even easier. I'm wondering what you use your grill for. Seems like you can't do a thing with it.. p Will~ "Cheese" wrote in message ...

Clean up is great, my sister got me the one with the removable grill plates so I can pop them off and put them in the dishwasher. I'll have to try the asparagus, squash, & grilled cheese sammies!

DestinyintheDark wrote: Hey all! was just given a GF grill and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion for uses-tips-recipes etc... I guess you're right. I've had mine for probably 3-4 years and I guess I'm using it less and less. I like most meats and fish cooked to their minimum safe temperature, juicy and tender. That means I need to sear them quickly at a high temperature then finish the cooking at a much lower temperature. The GF grill doesn't let me do this at all since it's at a constant setting. In addition, by design the heavy lid basically squeezes the juice from the meat. I find the outdoor BBQ allows me much more cooking freedom and let's me adjust times and temperatures. I still use it for quick meals like I mentioned above (chicken, boneless pork chops, vegetables and sandwiches). If I have more time, I'll pan sear then bake. Oh, I know. I use it as a pre-cooker. If I'm making a pasta sauce for instance I will butterfly, brown and degrease sausage or pepperoni with the GF grill then slice it and add it to the slow cooking pasta sauce. -- Cheese http://cheesensweets.com/contact/cheese |

I'm not really much of an authority on any sort of cooking, but we use our GF grill a lot. I do my turkey burgers on it, and typically grill some chicken or salmon to put in the salads that I take to work for lunch. (The turkey burgers work well when grilled frozen, but other things work better when thawed first, so the outside doesn't get overdone.) We also do steaks on them. Unlike someone else wrote here, I find it works quite well for preparing things rare -- and it's nice to just be able to lift up the top and cut into the meat or fish to see if it's done.
