Advantages: Easy To Use, Takes Out Fat
Disadvantages: Not Good For Steaks
When you've grown to old to be boxing professionally then you can always turn to endorsements to bring in the cash. That's what George Foreman did by putting his name to the lean mean fat grilling machines. He claims that they're so good he put his name on them. Of course the money probably had something to do with it as well.
When you cook any meat it always leaves a lot of excess fat that can turn some peoples stomachs. Most of us don't really mind but then don't give any consideration to the fact that we're consuming this fat into our bodies. You can think of the grilling machine as a sandwich maker, it works under the same principle. It's so simple I'm not sure why anybody hasn't spotted the marketing potential before. You simple place your food on the grill, close the lid and let it cook. The fat simple runs down the channels into a reservoir, then once done you have a lot less fat in your feed, which makes it healthier. What the machine also does is take out some of the messy cooking that's involved, it also saves time. Your food will cook on both sides at the same time and it take out some of the smell and spitting fat that you may have to endure if you use a traditional cooker grill.
The end result is some good tasting food, meats such as burgers and sausages actually taste better when cooked this way. I've put this down to the fact that you've taken out the fatty taste and just gone for the pure taste as it were. It's not only for meat though; you can throw on vegetables etc and get some good results. I threw on some sweet potatoes the other day and they ended up great.
There is however one thing I wouldn't put on them and that's steak. The problem with this is that steal does need some fat content to remain tender and edible. When you throw them on the machine they cook well and there's not a lot of fat left at the end. This leaves you with steaks that taste dry and
aren't good to eat at all. Thin steaks yield slightly better res
ults but overall you should brave the cooking pan to preserve any degree of taste.
There are various versions of the grill on the market starting at only £20, the price increases based on size and various additional features. Personally one of the ones that retail for £25 should be ample enough. You may not be able to fit everything you want on in one go but your cooking time will still be the same due to the top and bottom grill. They're simple to use and even those whose biggest culinary achievement is toast can plug one in and use it with no hassle.
I wish there was more I could say but it's just a simple product that looks good, does it's job and doesn't break the bank. There's no fancy things to learn, it's 'out of the box' stuff and a product that's well recommended.
