Product Description
This is the newest innovation from the makers of the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing grilling machine. It delivers the same great tasting, healthier food, grilled in minutes but now the grilling plates are removable and dishwasher safe. The Next Grilleration contact grill has a new contemporary design and of course the grill has all of the traditional features of the original George Foreman grill. The patented slope and grill design keeps food above and away from grease, fat, and other excess liquids and the non-stick coating means no need for butter or oils. And of course the grill cooks from both sides at the same time with quick heat-up that delivers great tasting, healthier food, grilled in minutes!

 FABULOUS! May 12, 2005

When our small original George Forman gave out I bit the bullet, and decided to spend the money on one with more bells and whistles. GREAT DECISION! My husband uses this almost every day to make a burger, chicken breast, etc. I used it tonight, to make fabulous Tilapia filets which took no time and almost no effort (sprinkle w/ Emril's seasoning and grill for five minutes). THE BEST PART.... REMOVABLE GRILL PLATES! I've put these in the dishwasher and washed by hand. No problem and worlds better than the old model with the fixed plates. I'll use this appliance even more now that clean up is no longer a chore!
 Works well for me! October 28, 2005

I'm a college girl just getting into cooking, and I've made salmon, burgers, and even bacon on this grill. Having someone say "This salmon was seared perfectly!" the first time you've ever made it is a great feeling! You really can't mess up with this thing.
Pros: The removable plates make clean up pretty easy. My burgers come out perfect every time.
Cons: I wouldn't call this non stick. Everything you make leaves something on the grill, and you really need to get scrubbing to get it off the hot plates when you're done (I find scrubbing the grime off the plates when it's hot is a lot easier than waiting for it to cool). It's also hard to clean the crevice where hinges are (but it's an open hinge, so solid thing that aren't sticky usually fall through).
To the reviewer below: The reason why everything comes out scorched is because you HAVE to wipe down the HOT plates with something to clean off the grease from your last batch--if you don't clean it off, it just transfers BURNT to your next one.
I really don't mind the cleaning so much, and the convenience of having a grill in my small apartment to cook on outweigh the cons for me. I certainly couldn't get a charcoal BBQ up and running.. now imagine cleaning that!
A significant improvement over the originals October 22, 2005

We got one of the original George Foreman grills several years ago as a gift, and it took us a while to actually try it, but once we did, we ended up using it fairly often for hot dogs, hamburgers, and pork chops. It was convenient - though clean up was a bit of a hassle.
These new ones solve that problem.
I note the new one seems to take slightly longer to warm up - possibly because of the removable plates don't transfer heat from the elements quite as efficiently as ones that are permanently attached, but it's only a couple extra minutes, and once warmed up, it's fine.
Normally I put everything I can in the dishwasher, but I haven't bothered with the plates on this grill yet as they really are very easy to clean with soap and a brush under hot running water.
Another improvement on the newer ones is the hinge allows for thicker meat. We make thick burgers - and used to have to flip them front to back to get even cooking - this is no longer required.
Overall, it's much nicer to work with than the first one we had.
Update: after six months, it's still working well, and the non stick surface on the cooking plates is still easy to clean without bothering with the dish washer.
Wonderful small grill September 7, 2005

This was our first George Foreman grill and I can see why people go on about the food they prepare. Very good flavor, very easy to prepare. Being able to easily wash the grill plates is VERY helpful.
My only caution is that describing this as a "4-burger grill" is an overstatement... for the store-prepared 1/4lb hamburger patties we typically use, I can only fit two patties on the grill at a time.
 George should have stuck with the prototype July 27, 2007

Several years ago, I had a George Foreman grill. It was one of the older, basic models. It only cost $20 and it could cook an 8oz burger to medium-rare in two minutes. The fat rolled off as expected, and I used to pour it back atop the burger and trap it on with a piece of cheese before it had a chance to reduce the fat again.
For the uninitiated, a George Foreman Grill is known as the "Lean, Mean, Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine".
My original grill was confiscated by the Dorm Manager at Kadena AB, Okinawa, Japan. I don't recall the details of the conversation, but it regarded regulations about not cooking dinner next to my keyboard and eating directly off the grill. Sigh.
So recently I bought an upgrade, the "Next Grilleration" model. I am severely disappointed. Keep in mind this model was $60 (3x as much, for those of you who are counting).
The cooking surface is nearly flat, so the fat never moves - It just pools there. I wouldn't mind this except that it is, indeed, pulling the fat out of the meat. The fat has flavor and helps prevent me from eating a dry burger - That's why we designed cows with fat. Well, maybe not, but my point remains.
Furthermore, the cooking time has been greatly increased. My attempt to cook an 8oz burger took no less than ten minutes from plugin to cheese-based fat entrapment.
Additionally, the fat man has yet to discover the wonderment of a power switch or a cord longer than four feet. Seriously, who's going to rearrange their kitchen for a new novelty grill? The lack of a power switch causes me to have to reach over and behind the dangerous cooking surface (Leaving the grill roughly aligned with my genitals, though about a foot away) to unplug it. The short cord, combined with the Manual's disclaimer about not using an extension cord, ensures the grill will always be in proximity to something flammable.
Pros:
- Does a passable job of cooking a burger, eventually.
- Didn't set my kitchen on fire, though the thick cloud of steam gave me doubts.
- Sleek, clean design
- Reduces fat when used properly
- Cheap Plastic Spatula and Cheap Plastic Fat Tray are easy to clean.
Cons:
- The "Fat Pool" on the grill evokes jokes about fat people at public pools.
- Takes five times longer to cook an 8oz burger to medium-rare than its predecessor.
- Thick Cloud of Steam caused me unwelcome concern.
- Sleek, clean designs are hard to clean. The ugly, rugged design of the previous model was easier to clean because it had fewer vertical protrusions to interfere with a paper towel's path.
- Reduces taste, too.
- I noticed a 1-2mm layer of darkened brown material on both sides of the burger after cooking, which was easily scraped off with the included Cheap Plastic Spatula. This was diagnosed as fat which the grill failed to reduce properly.
- Cheap Plastic Spatula.
- Cheap Plastic Fat Tray.
Conclusion:
George should have stuck with the prototype - Products are supposed to improve as time proceeds, not regress. I give it a 60%, and most of that is because it actually cooked the burger, eventually. I gave its predecesssor a 90% rating.
