George Foreman grilling machine

does anyone have any recommendations which one to get :confused: I've been looking on Argos and there is a choice of 5 or 6 and I haven't got a clue which one to pick.

It's primarily for my husband so I don't really want anything family size. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • I would get one where you can remove the plates for cleaning/dishwasher. I didn't and I wish I had.

    Great machine though

    hmm, i have seen that one but it's quite big. I know what you mean though. I have a breville and the plates are pretty yucky coz I cant get them out to clean
  • We have a anthony worrell thompson model its not too big, and the plates come out easily for cleaning.
    We've had ours about three years and use it regularily, no probs to date.
    I had a plan..........its here somewhere.

    I've got a George Foreman, and it doesn't matter if the plates dont come off because it just wipes with some kitchen roll, really easy. However, I bought a small one, just for me & him, but wish I'd got the next size up as I would use it more. At times I have to cook one thing and then keep it warm until the next batch is cooked.

    once you taste the food you will want a bigger on the baby one is only any good for 1 decent slice of bacon so if you want easy use and warm food buy the family size one, me and my fiance love ours but we made the mistake of buying the baby size first so wasnt money saving
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

  • i have got an antony worrall thompson grill ,from amazon or ebay:laugh: for about £30 which has removeable plates and is much better than the george i used to have.:j
  • i have the largish george forman and i find that i wouldnt want it to be any smaller,

    i use it over and over and still dont seen to have enough space on it,

    if you think about how many chicken pieces(if you are veggie, im sorry)you need to cook at once,place them on a plate and that is the size of griddle you will need

    hope this helps

  • I bought mine from Amazon as it was 1/2 the price of most other places. Got one that was quite large and don't regret it. We do loads of veg in it (I'm a vegetarian) and also use it for toasted sandwiches.

    wow! Great ideas - thanks for that. I thought it would only be suitable for grilling meat but your suggestions sound great!
