*beep* George Foreman to *beep*

Ghosting · 06-22-2005, 09:25 PM

OK, aside from work and the gym, I am a lazy bastard. I grill 2 chicken beasts in the AM, 2 in the PM, and a steak before bed (as I read it take 8 hours to digest)

. I hate turning on the propane, waiting for it to heat, and cooking each side. Its a pain. So I bought a next generation George Foreman grill. My stepmonster loves hers, but I'd rather eat dog food, as she cant cook. Anyone have any experience with these things?

I cooked a ribeye on the older model last night...Only took like 10mins and it was frozen too

Worked quite well. However if you use chicken it seems to dry it out

Ghosting · 06-22-2005, 09:41 PM

I just used it to cook my chicken and it dried it out.

Ghosting · 06-22-2005, 09:42 PM

Nobody wants dry chicken!!

Be careful with chicken. It will dry it out

chicken does tend to dry out real bad on those, but all other meats usually get pretty damn good..

What if you cook it with a 1/2 pound of butter?

Ghosting · 06-22-2005, 10:16 PM

But my steaks will be ok? *shakes fist a George Forman naked poster*

There has to be something I can do for the chicken. Cling wrap around it while I cook it? :p

I dont seem to have any problem with mine drying out chicken.. but I always make sure that the chicken is thawed out.. and I have marinated it in something..

You will not have any problems with steaks... they always turn out great for me...

I use mine quite often.. it is quick.. and easy clean up..

People tend to overcook the chicken on the foreman grill. I prefer to use the grill though.

that must be it.. cause I have never had any trouble with dry chicken...

Apootheosis · 06-23-2005, 09:38 AM

When i cook chicken on it its almost always dried out (the breast is encased in a yellow shell of crispness), but basically i dont give a damn about taste, if i want somethin good i'd have eaten out anyway...

everything cooks really fast, i dont know what the light means i just turn it off manually. Try cooknig shrimp marinated in butter n spices. good stuff

I have a GF grill. I find that cleaning it is a bit of a pain in the arse.
