George Foreman Grills are spectacular for grilling chicken, steaks or even hamburgers when you crave an easy, healthy meal... This was a great invention that came out several years ago and is a favorite in many kitchens across the country.

It so simple in its design and effectively cooks meat, vegetables and sandwiches thoroughly within minutes. The healthy aspect of this cooking marvel is the Teflon coated plates that serve as channels slanted toward the front. These Channels distribute the unwanted fats and oils of the food to a separate tray that once collected, is easily discarded.

The George Foreman Grill GRP99 is very simple to set up and use. It has a LED readout on the front, which is easy to read from across the room. This grill has three buttons for operation - power, temperature, and timer which are very easy to figure out and beeps when it is ready for cooking.

This larger unit consisting of 96 inches of cooking surface is meant for larger families and may be over kill for 1-2 people unless it is given as a wedding gift where the family will grow over time. The grill plates are nice and large, and have a guard on each side to prevent food from sliding off. There is a 1-inch flexible hinge, which is awesome for grilling thick steaks or chicken breasts. It is perfect for cooking pannini or grilled cheese sandwiches, and also makes the cooking more even.

The plates heat quickly and can evenly distribute high temperatures across the surface of the food. This allows for an efficient method of cooking that minimizes the time from grill to plate. You can easily be eating your meal within 15 minutes or less depending upon the cooking time needed.

The electrical cord could be longer, but is sufficient for counter top use. Cleaning is easier with this design which includes removable plates that can be hand washed and dried. Other units have to be cleaned while the plates are attached, which can be a hassle.

All in all, this unit is a great addition to any family kitchen and should be useful for those looking for a healthy way to prepare their meals. Chances are you know someone who has one and they will speak highly of its ease of use and great meals it generates. If they do not own one, perhaps it is a potential gift for them in the future.
