The Full Review
Let's be honest — the George Foreman isn't going to produce the same results as a Weber Genesis. But that's not what it's for.
The Foreman excels as a convenient, go-anywhere cooking surface. On the patio with the stand, it's a serviceable outdoor grill. Remove the stand and bring it inside for rainy day cooking. The versatility is genuine.
The sloped grilling surface drains fat away from your food, and while the health claims are overstated, your burgers do come out leaner. The non-stick surface means cleanup is a damp paper towel.
At $100, it's an impulse buy that actually delivers value. For college students, small apartments, or as a secondary indoor cooking option, it makes sense.
