Default anyone have a George Foreman grill?

My sister gave me hers, which is one of the first models. She didn't have
the booklet that came with it, and can't find a manufacturer's website to
request any info. I'm just looking for some basic cooking timetables, like
for steak, chicken, vegetables.

And if anyone has a favorite grilling recipe, please share!

We just got one of these, so I don't really have any recipes yet.
(Though DH did grill some swordfish the other night -- which he'd
marinated first -- and it was great -- so much more moist than
swordfish often is.)

I checked the brochure, and the website is www.salton-maxim.com.
However, I went to look and they don't seem to have any cooking info
there. They do sell a cookbook, though.

There is a cooking time chart in the booklet. Later today, if I
haven't seen the info posted, I'll type it in for you. I don't have
time just now as I'm about to head to the gym.

We have the family size one. We find it takes only about 5-6 minutes for
things. I think it's even a few minutes less for steak (it tends to dry out
quickly).

I don't have any specific recipes. It's actually not one of our favorite
machines (I personally find the food tastes kind of funny afterwards).

This site might help. There's a few recipes and a grilling chart available.

I have one and usually marinade chicken or meat before I cook it. I put
chicken breast with marinade into individual freezer bags then just throw a
couple out to thaw on those rare ocassions I cook at home g

I use mine all the time. Here's what I do. I bought some McCormick
"Season All" and some Pam Cooking Spray. I plug it in. I spray both
surfaces. I plop a piece of something down on it, sprinkle "Season All"
on it, and cover it. I put the drip pan at the bottom. I come back
some time later and it's ready. It's incredibly simple! I have never
ever used a timer, I just smell when it's done or I'm out of time for
waiting and eat it rare or I eat it over-done if I'm not paying
attention. I cook boneless breasts, pork loins chops and salmon fillets
on it.

My only complaint is that the coating is coming off after a solid year
of being used nearly every day. Maybe I shouldn't have used the Pam?

This grill has been recommended to me by a zillion people. My biggest fear
is that is a pain in the neck to clean. Is it submersible or does it just
wipe off? (dishwasher safe would be even better, but I suppose that is
asking too much for an electric appliance). My other concern is how much
smoke it throws off. I have a small kitchen and storage space is at a
premium....it is this I am considering rather than the cost. Is it worth
finding one more place to cram something? I've heard it does a great
chicken breast.

I find it fairly easy to clean. I wait until it cools, scrape it with the
little scraper they provide and wipe it with wet paper towels.

I have a very small kitchen and don't have room to keep many applicances in
the house. I have a shelving unit in the garage right beside the kitchen
door that holds those items I don't use on a daily basis - bread maker,
crock pot, large stock pots, yogurt maker, etc. My kids refer to it as the
"appliance store". Yes - I'm an appliance junkie g

You just wipe it off. I find that's easiest while it's still warm, or you
can plug it back in for a minute to heat it up again before cleaning it.

There isn't any smoke from it, I've been using mine pretty much every day
for several years now. I also have a small kitchen, but it's well worth the
space. It does great for chicken breasts, and any other kind of meat as
well.
