"After reading the reviews on this wonderful little grill, I hesitated in buying it online so bought it at Wal-Mart in case I wanted to return it immediately. Clean up time using hot, sudsy dish water in the sink for all three pieces of the grill plates and grease tray takes me one minute and ten seconds! The truth is that it a smaller grill and even though it would not be suitable for a family of four in my opinion, but I would still highly recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Two, Five and one half inch by Four inch Rib eye, Top Sirloin, Chopped Sirloin, or other kinds steaks arranged side by side lengthwise from the top to the bottom on the grill surface. Three, Three one quarter pound (or larger), hamburger patties arranged in two rows with two on the top and one on the bottom of the grill surface. Three slices of thick cut bacon arranged in rows from the top to the bottom of the grill horizontally. But I think that the measurements I have listed above should give you a good idea of the sizes of foods that you can cook on the grill. The flavor will already be soaked up into the pours of the meat so drying it won't change the taste after you cook it. I have found this to be 100% true in the past after I ruined several pieces over a short time in the dishwasher and they stuck like glue when I tried to use them from then on. I looked at a small single serving George Foreman grill at Wal-Mart and it was rated at 650 Watts so it could have a longer 30" cord."
"This grill works fine. This grill works fine, it might take longer than the older version, but the convenience of the removable plate clean up is well worth it."
"The initial deal-breaker was less the alarming amount of caustic smoke during the first preheat but rather how heavy the top is and how dry the resulting hockey puck which used to be a burger. If need be, you can also prop the front up using something under the handle, I haven't needed to do that yet but I'm only making 2 1/4lb 80/20 frozen burgers and now they aren't hockey pucks but juicy and with wonderful grill marks. So try the rolled up foil trick and remember you can also prop up the front via the handle to let the plates just touch the food. See the pictures and notice that from the side view you can see there is a range of places ranging from all the way at the back to all the way at the front to put the food. Also, when grilling hot dogs or other cylindrical sausages and placing them horizontally, prop up the front feet by 3/4" and the fat will still drain but they won't try to roll off down the front when you open the grill. This raising of the front feet also has the effect of the top not exerting as much pressure on the food, assuming you use my "fix" of putting the foil log at the back. Other than the smoke on first preheat, I'm happy with this indoor grill."
Digital time and temperature settings give you precision control to cook a variety of foods with heat ranging from 325- to 450-degrees, plus a 500-degree searing option that lets you lock in all the juicy flavor of steaks and burgers. Evolve 4-in-1 Versatility- Grill, Panini Press, Bake Dish, Muffin Pan. This model includes ceramic grill plates (for grilling and Panini pressing), a bake dish (for baking, sautéing, and griddling), and a muffin pan (for muffins, single-serve quiches, meatballs, and more.). You can drain excess fat from meat using the classic sloped grilling surface, or lay the grill flat when using the baking and muffin pans or creating gourmet Panini. The Evolve preheats quickly, efficiently grills and bakes all types of food, and its easy to cleanup thanks to the nonstick, removable plates. Remove 42% of Fat- The classic George Foreman Grill slope removes up to 42% of fat during cooking, conveniently draining grease into the dishwasher-safe drip tray.

"Anyway I had a couple of Costco's chicken breast marinating in the fridge when my new grill arrived so I started grilling right out of the box. Yes I know, some reviewers will assume the old grill was better because all you had to do was close the lid and eventually you got it right, but one thing you never could cook on the old grill is "Jiffy Cornbread" which I perfectly cooked on my new grill today."
"We have had our share of George Foreman grills, from the Champ Grill and Jumbo Size Grill in 2004, to three with removable plates, to the indoor/outdoor grill in 2007 (I looked up our 6 Amazon orders). ;-). The others with removable grill plates were supposedly easy to clean, but I remember especially on the indoor/outdoor grill that I had to scrub and scrub to get them clean, so much so that it was almost not worth it. I'm not a cook and we usually eat out, but since having this 2-in-1 Evolve Grill we've been eating at home more often. Make sure you put in the grill plates BEFORE heating up the grill. Geeze, I just made chicken tonight and. guess what, opened the grill to put on the chicken and no grill plates so had to unplug it and start over... (this wasn't the first time I pulled that trick)."
"The bottom plate is fine, but the top plate has completely failed."

"After agonizing over whether I should get one, I ordered a Gourmia smoking gun along with a quantity of Cameron chips. After putting the wood shavings into the screen, I simply turned the machine in before lighting it, and the smoke came out as expected."

"As a vegan I enjoy adding smokey flavor to my lentil loafs and veggie burgers."

Add in the durable nonstick coating and the patented fat-removing slope, and you’ve got the power to create large, tasty portions of everyone’s favorites with simple cleanup, to boot. The electric heat has an adjustable range from low (for keeping food warm) to high (for searing steaks). The high domed and vented lid helps create a circular flow of hot air to ensure even cooking--particularly important for a large roast or whole chicken. The 240 square inches of circular grilling surface lets you make over 15 servings for large groups of people.

Find Best Price at Amazon"We had had a George Foreman counter top grilling machine in the past so we looked to see if there were any sort of electric grills and were so excited when we found this grill!"
"We store the electrical component/plug-in indoors immediately after use once the grill cools off and cover the body of the grill with a heavy duty grill cover. 11 months after we purchased it I noticed a strong plastic electrical burning odor coming from the grill while it was heating up and the component that plugs into the grill was super hot and I immediately unplugged it thinking it was close to catching fire. ——————————————————. Update 12/20/17: The grill has been terrific so far and is performing without any problems."
"I started off at turning the dial to "5" and that charred one side of the burgers so then turned it down to 3 and a half. It locks in the moisture and it made for the most juicy burgers you'd ever had- hold the grease! After cooking 8 burgers the grease tray looked pretty full. So i'd say maybe between batches for fatty foods like burgers that you would have to lift the plate up and drain the fat."
"I love this grill, I've cooked steak, burgers, hot dogs etc on it."
"Wish it was a $129 grill. The 2nd thing we'd add to the grilling surface besides the 1/2 inch?"
"I almost didn't buy it because reviewers said it dries meats out, they must be novice because I'm no expert and it was one of the juiciest steaks I've had."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It is large enough to sear several steaks at a time, giving them a beautiful flavorful crust. Eggs, pancakes, french toast, grilled cheese, bacon, stir fry, salmon, literally everything I have thrown at it has been cooked faster and with more flavor than a normal pan. I can heat the griddle as hot as I like, unlike teflon cookware which can damage the nonstick properties. Lodge claims that the griddle is already pre-seasoned, but the first time I tried cooking some sunny side up eggs I ended up with a burnt crusty omelet that stuck to the pan. Thus, I began my Google search for the best method to season a cast iron pan. This basically means that the fat content in the flax oil breaks down readily at high heat and forms a tough film that gives cast-iron its non-stick properties. Again you want to make sure you do not go over 400 degrees because then the oil begins to smoke too quickly and the process of forming the hard coat is rushed. You may also want to open your windows and turn on the fan, the oil is essentially burning into smoke which may irritate your eyes and lungs. After an hour, turn off your stove and let the pan come to room temperature or cool enough to handle. Contrary to popular belief, a well-seasoned cast iron pan will NOT lose its coat with soap."
"We just got a new stove and compared to the old el'cheapo model, the difference in output is astonishing. I laughed when I saw a IR image of heat distribution and the belly aching about it. Enough to hash-mark the pork loin I cooked last night. You could light one back burner on medium and I guarantee you that in a half hour, if you try to pick it up form the end furthest away form the heat source that you'll be severely burned. Use something that wont scratch and scrape it clean under warm running water while the griddle is still warm...Then place it back on the stove and reheat to remove all water."
"Anyways, I had a hard time deciding and checked out Lodge's website as they have detailed measurements in PDF form available. I couldn't find any decent comparison pictures so I decided to add my own so others can make a decision to suit thei needs. I use the Lodge silicone egg rings though, and they work well and you can fit a bunch on this product for easy cooking. Easy way to cook lots of bacon or making hot sandwiches or just about anything."
