$100? That must be the bigger one.

I have a standard George Forman gril in blue and I LOVE It.

Pros:

Cooks a thawed chicken breast in less than 10 minutes.
Small, easy to use, and perfect for an apartment
Works great for veggies and my model also has a bread warmer.

Cons:

Its kind of a bitch to clean.
It BLOWS at cooking beef/pork
The model I have only fits 1 chicken breast at a time


over all though, I say its A+ if you dont have an outdoor grill or the time to mess with an outdoor grill.

I love mine! How I clean mine, is using a paper towel, it seems to be the best option.

I use it often to cook the meatz0r! and sometimes, when the kitten is bad, you just put her paw in there, it shows her who is boss!

I love my kitteh!

It's great I love it! sometimes I use a standard indoor grill, but the GFG is also a great cooking tool!

i think mine rocks. my chicken usually turns out more dry than if i cooked it on the stove (for example), but if you want an easy way to cook chicken, it's the bomb diggity.

Because a real grill is still a pain in the ass. Either you are trying to nurse a charcoal pyramid or messing about with propane and a very impossible to clean grill.

The outside one is even easier to clean than the indoor models because it doesnt have a lid cooker. you just wipe and cook..and it heats up quickly and evenly every time.

Ive found that if i plug mine in, over a sink and let it heat up.. Ill open it up and dump the water on the bottom part of the grill and close the lid.. the steam really cleans the hell out of it..

I didnt say it was the smartest way to do it..

They only use propane on that show. Not remember the episode where Foreman's daughter beat the crap out of Luianne?
