With increasing cholesterol levels in the blood leading to serious health problems, health conscious people are now turning towards healthy food and healthier means of cooking like steaming, boiling and grilling which involves less or no fats. Think of grilling and the George Foreman Grills come to mind. Named after the famous heavyweight boxing champion, these electric indoor grills are also referred to as George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine. Famous for "knocking out the fat", food cooked on these electric grills is healthier, tastier and cooks fast with practically low or no fats at all.
The George Foreman Grill has an attractive clamshell design. Both the heating surfaces are Teflon coated. This cooks the food evenly on both the sides. Both these griller plates have large indentations that lead to a slant. The excess fat from the food drains away from the slant of the top grill into the bottom one and from there to the fat collecting tray. Owing to its versatility, one can cook a wide variety of tasty and healthy meals such as Panini sandwiches, quesadillas, burgers and meat.
These grills are available in different sizes such as small, medium and large. Each size offers different models and configurations. One of the recent additions is the Next Grilleration George Foreman G5 grill with five detachable grill plates that are simple to fix and remove, and easy to clean.
The grill has a standard grilling plate, steak plate, a pan type baking plate and two waffle plates. These multiple grills offer the cook plenty of versatility in terms of cooking a wide variety of dishes. Marked with the words “upper” and “lower” on the underside of the plates, ensures that the plates are fixed into the right slots. Black plastic handles on either side of the plate help to secure them to the grill before turning the power on.
Depending upon the food being cooked, the setting can be adjusted to tilt or flat. Waffles and cookies are made on flat setting whereas other food like meat and steak are kept on tilt to drain off excess fats into the fat collection tray. Unlike the earlier GF grill which had no heat adjustment option, the G5 comes upgraded with a heater that gives the options of cooking the food at low, high and medium heat.
The Indoor Outdoor Electric Grill and Roaster is the latest addition to the family of GF grills. This is also a MP3 ready music player with a 10 watt built-in speaker and amplifier. The new GF USB iGrill connects to the USB 2.0 port on your PC, from where you simply download the recipe, feed in data regarding the type of food, the total weight, the required amount of doneness and leave the rest to the iGrill. That is the fun of cooking with GF grills.
