Indoor grill- Thanks everyone
Hi all,
I just wanted to thank you all for your input and advice. Here's what I did. The other day I purchased 2 indoor grills the George Foreman Double Knockout Grill & the T-Fal multi grill (it has 2 inter-changeable grill plates, a grill & griddle). So that night I cook on both grills simutaniously. As for veggies I made zucchini, onions, potatos, portabello mushrooms, everything turned out good on both machines but the zucchini were soaggy in the foreman and nice and dry on the T-Fal. Then came the meat I made split chicken wings on both machines I found that the fat in the foreman wasn't dripping off as it should so the wings were frying in it's own fat and 3 wings at the lower end of the slant were still raw when the rest were almost cooked. eeekk! that freaked me out. Now the T-Fal took about 5 minutes longer to cook the wings but the fat dripped down in the drip pan and they were dry & crisp like doing them on an outdoor grill. Then I made some rib eye steaks that I cut in half and put one half on the foreman and the other on the T-Fal. WOW! Now that's where the real test began. The foreman steak was ok, where as the T-Fal it was so good even had the smoky bbq tatse. Then for clean up the foreman took so long to rub off all the caked on stuff, it took longer to clean than to cook.hahaha The T-Fal was so easy I just had the grill plate and the drip pan to clean and I ran them under the sink washed them good or I could've put them in the dishwasher. In my expirience with both grill, I find that the foreman tasted like the food was cooked in a pan with the lid on, where as the T-Fal the food tasted like it was cooked on an outdoor grill. So I kept the T-Fal and returned the foreman. Thanks again for your input. SPOONS |

Indoor grill- Thanks everyone
Hi Spoons, Thanks for the consumer test results! I've been toying
with idea of buying a small indoor grill for son, and this information is most welcome now. I will keep it in mind as I shop.
