Default 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.

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.
