"george foreman" news and stories

Since Memorial Day Weekend is the official unofficial start of the summer grilling season, the George Foreman iGrill is the perfect piece of equipment! Not only is it the George Foreman Grill, which "knocks out the fat!" but it's an iGrill, which means it also doubles as an iPod speaker system - exactly what you need to set up a soundtrack to whatever backyard BBQ party you're throwing.

I'm not exactly sure how the mechanics of the thing works -- like doesn't the speaker system get hot?!?!

The George Foreman iGrill is $149 at Linens N Things.

Depending upon where you live, it is quite likely to be the middle of winter at this moment and when it's cold, dark and icy outside, it's not the sort of weather that inspires you to drag your grill out of the garage. But if, like me, you love to grill, the Wall Street Journal went to the effort of rating indoor grills so we don't have to brave the elements to cook up a burger.

They rated the grills, looking for an electric version that could deliver the smoky flavor and great sear of a real barbeque. To get right to the point, they rated the Sanyo Smokeless Indoor Electric Grill from Cooking.com as the best overall performer and the best value compared to all the other grills they tested. The Sanyo grill had gaps in the surface - like a real grill - to let fat drip away from the meat, as well as being large enough to cook food for the whole family at once.

I've personally been disappointed with the results from my current electric grill, which is the type endorsed by a professional boxer. It never seems to brown the meat and, other than constantly opening it, I have yet to find a reliable method of testing for doneness as it cooks.
