A Cooking Thread?
Barmymoo:
George Foreman grills are the only (absolutely only - not even a microwave) cooking appliance provided at several of the colleges here.

I love making burgers and dogs on my foreman but the stupid thing is such a pain in the ass to clean. If there was a way to clean it without it taking forever, I'd probably use it more often.
I've never made steak on it before. I usually cook steaks up nice and slow so they're fall-apart tender and I just don't see that happening on a foreman lol. Although- sometimes I like to fry up strips in a skillet, it might be good for that. Or for cooking up those paper thin strips for steak sandwiches?
And yes, Kat- high and dry. And on an angle so the fats drip out and away. I wasn't allowed one in my dorm. :-(
pwhodges:
My similar but cheaper grill is not sloped, but the fat still drains out. The plates which press against the food unclip trivially easily, and are easy to clean, or even simply put in the dishwasher. It does fish nicely, and browns chicken OK - I often use it for chicken sate, for instance. But it is simply not hot enough to do steak rare - with a burnt outside but not fully cooked inside.
doombilly:
I have one like PWHodges. But the dishwasher seems to take the teflon off. I'm on my second and would not replace for this reason. I did like throwing frozen chicken breasts on it and having something good when too drunk to make more involved food.
dr. nervioso:
I am not sure why exactly I don't like the foreman grill for steak. I always have my steak medium, maybe medium rare. But what I get off a grill on good days is barely comparable to getting it off of a foreman grill. It really is the texture I hate the most. The taste isn't great eiter, but the texture is completely ruined.
Or it could be something else entirely. Maybe I don't like steak unless it is cooked directly using fossil fuels like gas or coal. Though I think I can see why others are okay with steaks on foreman grills, I am just very picky with how steaks are cooked. However, when it comes down to what kind of steak I am eating it really doesn't matter. I know basic differences Steaks with bones in them I know, and I know some other cuts.
