No George did not pass away, however my grill finally cooked it's last chicken breast. It's been a real friend for the last 7 years, and we have had many good times together. It will be missed.... at least until I go to store and get another one tommorow.. then I'm back in business!!!

I'm on my 2nd one. Love the way it cooks. Only wish the upper and lower portions separated for cleaning purposes.

I've gone through a few of them and certainly enjoyed them but won't buy another. Now I run Wolfgang Puck's Panini grill and will never go back.
The shell is stainless steel so it doesn't discolor like the GFG. The hing works on the Panini Grill works properly, even on thick sausages and grilled cheese sandwiches don't cook more at the back because of hinge articulation limits. The clincher is that you can take the grills off and throw them in the dish washer.

The new GF grills do have the grills that are removable for cleaning. GREAT for those nights you're cooking for one :cool:

Do they have a metal shell? Actually, I wouldn't mind the plastic but the white plastic yellows where it's close to the grill and is exposed to heat.
I paid $80 CDN for a stainless steel Panini grill. Can George can compete?
My first GF jumbo grill was a piece of garbage. I was early on the program and it only lasted a couple of months. It was such a slick device that I bought another one anyway and it lasted much better. I'm on my third and I'm sure this one would go a few years.

I have the Wolfgang grill and I totally agree with you. My only gripe with it is sometimes the handle is too tricky to release.

After you are done cooking soak paper towels with water, put on grill, close lid, when cool wipe off. Makes clean up much easier. :)

I hate to say it and risk reveling my identity as "the fat kid" but I figured out what the best part of the food is after getting done cooking with the George Foreman grill.... The stuff in that little drip cup at the edge of the grill. Sorry, had to say it.

I love how the grill cooks a frozen steak in 5 mins. I just hate the taste. tastes like you cooked it with an iron. sorry but i gave mine away because I am addicted to the taste of a real grill. charcoal or propane I love em both. :crossx:

I have a Foreman with the removeable grills and use it for chicken all the time. Fast, easy clean up. It hasn't discolored yet. Of course I haven't tried cooking any bran muffins on it yet either and having them catch on fire because I was in on the commode on my cell phone and forgot to take them off.

I'm glad I posted about my terrible loss... I guess I have not been paying attention over the years, and actually had no idea there were so many choices out there. I'm actually looking forward to my trip to Target' later this afternoon to fill my void. thanks to everyone for all the input!!

The GF grill I have that has removable grills is a silver color. No discoloration like the white one.
