I received this grill as a RE-gift from someone who doesn't know how to cook anything besides biscuits and gravy. An indoor grill wasn't something this person would even know what to do with.br /br /And what a lucky break for me! I have used it to cook EVERYTHING! I have grilled ocean scallops to perfection. They were tender and perfectly carmelized on the top and bottom. I have made marinated shish-ke-bob using filet mignon, and they came out better than any steak I have ever cooked. Tender, juicy and cooked just the way we like them (medium-rare). I have grilled chicken breast. Magnifique! I have grilled vegetables: onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and even butternut squash slices! I even grilled plums, which I later topped with blue cheese crumbles for a special dinner we had.br /br /I have also made an assortment of terrific panninis with it as well--perfect grill marks, perfect crunch to the bread, perfect ooze to any cheese on the bread. Everytime, things come out perfectly. My husband raves about any dish that I serve that is made on this grill. And things seem to cook in half the time, which is a good thing, since we're a couple of hungry hounds at meal time.br /br /I want to buy a bigger one! I read the poor reviews, and I feel badly for the folks not enjoying the same luck with it, and the same delicious meals we have had.br /br /I will admit that I come from a restaurant family, and I have had some experience cooking. I'd like to share that I do frequently spray the top and bottom grills with PAM, and I do watch and check my meats and vegetables carefully. I don't rely on the timing guide provided with the instruction book. (If you are nervous about cooking meats, then invest in a good thermometer, 'til you get the hang of it). br /br /I also frequently (though not always) turn the items to get grill marks on both sides to my satisfaction. The biggest trick to getting things to cook evenly is portion size. By that I mean, you have to have good knife skills, and be careful to cut your vegetables or meats in even thicknesses. About 1/2 inch thick works well. Sometimes, if you have a lot of items on the grill, the items on the lower part of the grill don't cook as fast as the items near the top, because the top items make more contact with the upper grill and keep it off the lower items. Still,you can move food up once the upper food is cooked and moved onto a plate and still get things done nicely and quickly. The point here is to cook grilled food with the fat melted off.br /br /I think that, today, we are all rushed in our lives, and we often don't have time to learn the finer points of cooking. (Do young girls even get taught home economics anymore?) Too many of us have succumbed to the convenience of the microwave and prepackaged, prepared food-in-a- bag-or-box-or-on-a-little-plastic-tray. Some folks may be afraid of cooking and expect to be able to read two pages in the manual, plop something on the grill and VOILA! that's all there's to it--the grill does all the rest. That's not the way of a good cook, however. Good food takes a careful eye and a little practice. (But, hey!, practice is the fun part, and really, it's not that hard).br /br /Clean up is okay. I'd rather clean this grill with a little scrubbing with warm, wet sponges and dry paper towels, than wash a sink full of pots and pans. That's just my preference.br /br /The good news is my husband and I both lost 10 lbs by changing our eating habits after getting this grill. Healthy, delicious food is now "de rigeur" at our home. Grillin' low fat is the way to go, folks. It's been a real blessing for us.

George Foreman GR10ABWI Champ Grill with Bun Warmer, Indigo Feature

• Great for grilling burgers, fish, vegetables
• Includes dishwasher-safe plastic drip tray and spatula
• Also includes bun warmer
• Patented grill grooves let oil run off while food is cooking
• Interior wipes clean easily

Topped by a bun warmer with a transparent lid in bright blue, this Champ is a variant of the popular George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine. The electric appliance's appeal lies in its simplicity and countertop convenience--not to mention its fat-fighting ability. The double-sided grill (a 6-by-7-inch nonstick cooking surface) cooks burgers, steaks, chicken, sausage, fish, shrimp, and vegetables top and bottom in minutes. (Recipes accompany the grill.) Grill marks not only look appetizing they contribute caramelized flavor. The bottom grill's deep grooves collect fat, and the grill is sloped so the fat runs off into a dishwasher-safe plastic tray stationed under the unit's front.p The nonstick bun warmer draws heat from the grill and can be used while food is grilling or by itself. (The entire unit, grill and bun warmer, turns on by plugging in the power cord.) The warmer heats a burger's bun as well as other bread items, including English muffins, tortillas, pita bread, sliced bagels, and croissants. Because the grill is nonstick, cleanup is a snap: just a quick scrape with a plastic spatula (included) and a quick wipe with a paper towel or a sponge. I--Fred Brack/I By cooking foods from the top as well as from the bottom simultaneously, maximum moisture and flavor is retained. The one thing that is not retained is the fat, which runs out along channels in the slightly slanted grill to a dishwasher safe drip-tray out front. The grill marks provide caramelized flavor and an appealing apperance for steaks, chicken breasts, seafood, veggies and more. While your food is cooking you can also warm up buns, tortillas, rolls and other bread items on top. After the party's over simply scrape with the plastic spatula and wipe clean with a paper towel or sponge. This model is an ideal size for cooking food for one or two people.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT! - Eric M. Kramer - Milan, Ohio, USA
I first saw this product advertised in a TV infomercial but did not buy it right away. While on a trip to visit my uncle, I used a George Foreman Grill and found it to be an excellent product. So, in May, 2001 I bought the model GR10ABW. My ONLY complaint is an issue that Salton has addressed, and that issue was that the grill plates were difficult to clean. Salton has since come up with removable grill plates, which I think are a great idea.br /br /Getting back to the GR10ABW, I appreciate that it cooks on both sides at once, shaving several minutes off the cooking time for almost anything you can grill on it. If you cook a hamburger that is less than a 1/4 pound, I don't recommend leaving it on for more than 7 minutes unless you want your burger well done. 51/2 minutes is usually enough for me.br /br /I would definitely recommend this product to anyone, especially if the model they pick has removable grill plates. This grill was a good investment.
