When I was 18 I left home and had to start learning how to adult quick. The foreman was one the first purchases I made along side a camping stove since the place i moved into didn't have a working kitchen. For 6 months that grill became my best friend. Still used regularly to this day 13 years on. They are absolute powerhouses and easy enough to clean for the most inebriated at 2 in the morning.
I've owned a GFG for about 20 years now and was looking at replacing it because a friend made fun of my Old Fashioned "antique" cookware. AND I LOVE my GFG...I think i'm still keeping it. :)
I'm older than the GFG but never owned one. I picked up a beautiful used stainless steel one with a timer for $5 the other day and I love it. I've made burgers, reheated American chop suey, eggs over hard with hash-browns, and tonight I made pancakes with it. I'm in love. They all have come out as you would expect each item to be. I don't even have to form my patties. I just put two lumps of ground beef on the grill, closed the lid, pressed down gently and got wonderful hamburger patties compared to yours. I cut two thick slices of onion and grilled them on there too. My burgers didn't shrink. Everything was beautiful. It pours the grease off and just enough remains to remain non-stick. I don't wash my non-sticks. I wipe them out with paper towel when they're still hot and gets it clean every time.
I swear by my George Foreman. Hamburgers, sausages, flank steak, chicken breasts, boneless meat cuts, and grilled veggies...all good on a George Foreman.
Really impressive from the old George Foreman. As an American, I'd have only cooked it about half the time, so maybe it wouldn't have been quite as nice of a crust, but for something that's been around so long, it's hard to make fun of the thing! Actually, from my own experience using an old Foreman a number of years ago, you DON'T get the greatest grill marks etc if you're cooking medium-rare to medium-ish. I suspect it's probably because it just doesn't have the mass to retain the heat required. Even still, these things definitely have their place. Great video! :)
I owned an old Foreman, one of the larger models with the selectable temp and used it until the hinge broke. I loved that thing. I replaced with a Cuisinart that also had a griddle feature, but the grill simply didn't compare plus it dripped all the fat on the counter not in the drip tray, just a bad design. The original still works.
Have a George Foreman at least 20 years old - has removable grills - a MUST! Doing some research to see about getting a new one because the handles on the grills are cracked. Just cooked up some pork today, in fact. Use parchment paper so there is literally zero clean up except the drip tray 👍🏼 Maybe I’ll stick with the GF. Also never flipped. Use it all the time for salmon - 7 minutes max
I still have a Forman grill. Got it in 2001 for college. I don’t eat meat these days so it doesn’t get as much use. When I did use it, I just put it on the stove top and ran the exhaust fan.
i think the main difference is the cleaning up .. I wanted a Ninja Foodi Grill but cleaning the splatter screen and the rotating fan from all the grease, seems harder than removing the 2 grill plates to wash..
Wow this is like the exact comparison I wanted to see. I have been using George Foreman's my whole life and still daily one, and I wanted to upgrade to a Ninja Grill. The cleanup process is the main concern I have, it is simply too easy to wipe down the George! I also don't have a dishwasher or running water at all here. Seems annoying to clean the Ninja after each use... Decisions, decisions!
Hi..if you have not gotten the Ninja yet...I had one and sold it soon after on Ebay...It's because its big and bulky and a lot more to clean. It has it's Pros but for me I live alone and it was just not simple enough for me. However, the Ninja might be more your style.
Don't know why but I completely forgot I had one of Forman grills that was handed down from my mom after she was clearing out some junk. I dusted it off and made some chicken thighs yesterday and it still holds up! You just have to watch it to make sure it doesn't overcook or burn the top. I had no idea that the original model was from '94 because I was living in Hawaii at that time and they weren't popular there. It didn't make sense to have an indoor grill because the weather is mild and everyone had some kind of hibachi grill to grill outside.
In 1995, I was at Walmart, and happened to walk by a display of George Forman grills, they had a special sale...a double grill machine..it was on sale for $75.00 dollars..used it for years... love it.. I still have it... although I haven't used it in awhile (10 yrs)...it now sits in its original packaging in my storage room...we also used it during campouts..works great.. some campgrounds have electric hookups. Our Forman grill has timers,and is somehow smokeless. Far as cleaning...warm soapy water, heated grill, wipe...tadda.
Oooof in Canada they make you grill well done? My wife likes them that way but she’s not from America but Honduras lol, the frozen burgers are making me cringe a bit too. I have a foreman single burger grill from 10/15 years ago and it still cooks burgers I make from ground chuck really well when the grill outside can’t be used.
Well in your own home obviously you can cook them however you want. It's more of a restaurant thing. That being said, I'd say most people here do go with well done burgers. We hear you about the frozen burgers haha, but it was just to demonstrate the difference is all. Thanks for watching! - J
So just really quick. You cooked the foreman's way too long. It cooks both sides at the same time. Max is 4 to 5 minutes for a hamburger to get it well done 😂. That was one of the main things about it. It cooks twice as fast
both did a good job.....burgers were overcooked, in the Foreman grill.....a have a couple of Foreman grills and still daily use them.....your right, the person who invented them was a genius.....
I'm a single dude so- I'm not as persnickety.... But I swear by my George Foreman grill. But I do a lil trick. I pan seared my steaks & burgers then slap them on the grill for just a couple of minutes & Wallah. Also, *I place the grill on the stove* *top to take advantage of the* *Range Hood.*
I am new to the George Foreman burger world, and started with a worn out single cooker. I got excellent results with frozen patties, timing them for 6 minutes after stabilized temperature. Never fail success. I have just purchased a new Evolve cooker, with removable plates. I find that I am having to cook the burgers a little longer, but they still turn out juicy and tasty. I have not experimented with doing other dishes on this cooker, but have no regrets about buying the Evolve cookert, as I like having the convenience of the removable plates. I wouldn't mind having the deep dish plate, but because of the cost, and other available utensils, I doubt that I will be buying it.
The 1994 grill is mentioned to cook hamburgers in less than 2 minutes in the same commercial you show in your video. Regardless I have an original and just bought a new one today. We also have a ninja air fryer. Older is built better but new has better no stick at the moment. Got the old one in 1999 without the grease tray and used plates but the new is nice and better looking.
I have both machines. The Forman works well, but the meat is dryer than the Ninja. I like my burgers cooked throuth as well. Great video as always, Thank you
Just found your channel - love the reviews! Also I feel like this was a missed opportunity to cook Michael Scott's breakfast of choice - 6 strips of bacon on his George Foreman grill. 😉
We still have our 23yr old George foreman grill. I cook frozen bubba burgers 7-8 minutes and don't flip them. They come out nice and juicy. The thought process at least at the time in the US regarding countertop kitchen appliances was two things 1) Compactness 2) Animal fat bad so the appliances were designed to cook and drain away all of the goodness out of the meat.

Foreman Grills are hot. Like 400-500 degree fahrenheit. Frozen burgers take like 5 minutes. Then pork and chicken get pretty hard on the outside, because you have to cook them longer to make sure the meat is done. Way cheaper though.
When cleaning the pull outs..be careful for the sharp edges that cuts / nips the fingers and hand while cleaning...of course one would want the tight edges cleaned... dishwasher can be not cleaning to its fullest...we don't want food poisoning.. Choices..
Great video really like how you tickle a waffle iron that cooks meat that to a preset temperature and compared it to a temperature-controlled air fryer
I wonder if that air fryers going to last for 30 years cuz I still like my Foreman them air fryers are nice for certain things like frying Pizza pizza pockets and stuff like that I like making canned biscuits on them Foreman grills they're pretty good
My opinion about this reviot is that the ninja is not worth it, it is more expensive and does exactly the same as the other one. My opinion is better to buy ninha fodi that comes with a pressure cooker and air fryer plus grill and dehydrator included.
The Foreman Grill would have had much better results had it not lost so much delicious fat through overcooking. And DO NOT wash the grease from either machine down the drain.
@@TheAverageKitchen I think you are looking for a reputable butcher! No wonder you are confused with cooking times if you think viewers from the UK can send beef to you in Canada and it is ok :)
So more expensive, more difficult to clean and take longer to cook. It probably breaks down easier as well as more complex things always do. I have a one-person George Foreman grill and it cost me. $25 brand new. It is great and so easy to clean that I wipe it as soon as I cook before eating. This saves reheating it and doesn't let anything dry on it. It takes less than 30 seconds and so my food is still hot. Maybe not as important to Americans but in the UK electricity is now so expensive turning on the oven for 30 minutes costs $3. In Germany, it is so bad now that they are avoiding cooking at all. Because of the war and lack of gas.
@@TheAverageKitchen - Thanks for the video it was fantastic to see the comparison. You saved me from spending £200 ($330 Canadian) on something I don't need. And would actually be more time-consuming, electricity consuming and clean up than what I have. I use my microwave to defrost and George Foreman for practically everything now and so I was about to spend money on what I thought would be a better version. I cook chicken fajitas, girl liver and all sorts of meats and fish on the wee Foreman grill. It is super quick to heat up, cook and clean. I'd have been pissed I wasted money and probably would have swapped back. Cheers pal.
I dunno. Maybe it was because we owned to "1st editions" that GFGs sucked. We got them on discount since I worked at a store that sold them. The grease would miss the driptray and get all over the counter. You couldn't fit "fat" burgers into the grill and they'd cook unevenly requiring you to flip them anyway. Forget about sauté. The 2-stage cleaning process was a PITA (reheating the grill to clean it rather than just being able to using soapy water and/or soft sponge. The grease also caked up in corners so you'd smell it everytime you passed by it. Finally the hinges broke on both grills (mind you these grills were in two different households). These were just highfalutin waffle irons that were being name-branded. In the time it took to finish a family pack of hamburger meat I could cook it all in a pan, oven, or fire up the grill (for outdoors). Airfryers have made them even more obsolete since they serve a multi-function purpose. I still have a GFG sitting on a shelf collecting greaseballs for like the last 10 years maybe alongside the Ninja chopper and several other Only-For-TV gimmick purchases.

You can do a lot of veggies & seagood on a foreman as well. They offer some recipes on their website for fre.

You cooked it from frozen if course it’s brown
They claim it can be cooked from frozen, that's why we tried it. Thanks for watching! - J

George foreman grill wins because I can store it in a closet. Ninja is toooooooo big.
Nice !! 👍🏼
Too big!
Which ?
So more expensive, more difficult to clean and take longer to cook. It probably breaks down easier as well as more complex things always do.
I have a one-person George Foreman grill and it cost me. $25 brand new. It is great and so easy to clean that I wipe it as soon as I cook before eating. This saves reheating it and doesn't let anything dry on it. It takes less than 30 seconds and so my food is still hot.
Maybe not as important to Americans but in the UK electricity is now so expensive turning on the oven for 30 minutes costs $3.
In Germany, it is so bad now that they are avoiding cooking at all. Because of the war and lack of gas.
Can't argue with any of that. Thanks for the comment! - J
@@TheAverageKitchen - Thanks for the video it was fantastic to see the comparison.
You saved me from spending £200 ($330 Canadian) on something I don't need.
And would actually be more time-consuming, electricity consuming and clean up than what I have.
I use my microwave to defrost and George Foreman for practically everything now and so I was about to spend money on what I thought would be a better version.
I cook chicken fajitas, girl liver and all sorts of meats and fish on the wee Foreman grill.
It is super quick to heat up, cook and clean.
I'd have been pissed I wasted money and probably would have swapped back.
Cheers pal.
Glad we could help! - J
I dunno. Maybe it was because we owned to "1st editions" that GFGs sucked. We got them on discount since I worked at a store that sold them. The grease would miss the driptray and get all over the counter. You couldn't fit "fat" burgers into the grill and they'd cook unevenly requiring you to flip them anyway. Forget about sauté. The 2-stage cleaning process was a PITA (reheating the grill to clean it rather than just being able to using soapy water and/or soft sponge. The grease also caked up in corners so you'd smell it everytime you passed by it. Finally the hinges broke on both grills (mind you these grills were in two different households). These were just highfalutin waffle irons that were being name-branded. In the time it took to finish a family pack of hamburger meat I could cook it all in a pan, oven, or fire up the grill (for outdoors). Airfryers have made them even more obsolete since they serve a multi-function purpose. I still have a GFG sitting on a shelf collecting greaseballs for like the last 10 years maybe alongside the Ninja chopper and several other Only-For-TV gimmick purchases.
Thanks for the comment and perspective! - J
