4. Mine gathers dust in the back of a kitchen cabinet.
Just too much of a pain to get it out and set it up. I'd rather just throw the burgers on the grill.

5. I actually find the foreman grill easier.
Just plug it in, throw the burgers on and close the top.

If I use the grill, I gotta take the cover off, fiddle around with firing it up, wait for it to heat up....

10. Point taken...
It could also be my preference for grilling outdoors as opposed to doing anything in the kitchen that makes my G.F. grill a sad and forgotten relic.

11. During the summer i use the grill alot,
but during the winter standing outside in 20 degree weather in the dark, it's kind of hard to cook!

7. Yes...love it.
I have the one with the interchangeable plates. Use it most for grilling chicken. Fast and easy! I love it.

12. They do make some excellent burgers.
I used to own one a couple of years ago (bought a used one very cheap, and it *surprise* stopped working), and my favorite thing to do with it was cook a burger, then slap it between two slices of bread with some cheese, and put it back on the grill. Best patty melt ever.

God bless you, George Foreman

16. Yes, it's great...BTW, I read that George Foreman was the
company's 2nd choice as the celebrity spokesman/endorser for this product. The 1st choice was Hulk Hogan, whose agent didn't return the phone call.

17. If I did, I'd never admit it.
It's the ultimate give up in the dating world.

It might easily churn out tasty meat treats, but if your interest finds out, you'll never get laid again.

22. Yes, and I hate it.
It's clumsy and unsafe, imho. The top part can fall really easy and is a pain.

Want to buy used one? I got mine as a Christmas gift and have rarely used it.

25. I have a cheap knockoff and I love mine too.
I use it to do all sorts of cooking nowadays, but most often I use it to make grilled cheese sandwiches to go with Tomato Soup. Yummy. I've used it to cook eggs and everything else imaginable. It has different types of grills you can swap out for when you need a flat surface or something that'll hold stuff like eggs. I'm planning an omelet next. I've only ever made omelets once before and didn't know what to put in. I'm looking for a good recipe.

27. I had one of the earlier models
it was too hard to clean, cannot immerse in water...so I got rid of it and bought a knock-off model that has removable plates.

28. I like them for fish especially
salmon and tuna and shrimp skewers...

the only time I do chicken on them is when I'm doing tenders or skewers.

burgers are good too... I just don't make them very often.
