Thinking about dat juicy Shaq meat! - Rich Evans
👍
Lol... it never occurred to me how funny that must have sounded.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"George finished in four minutes."
-James White 2021
Interesting. I wasn't even aware that Shaq had a grill.
Same here. Man he wants his name on everything 🙄. Icy_-hot, goldbond, Papa John's .what's next?
@@ForEternia he’s one of the few sport stars who maintained his wealth and that is how he’s done it 🤷🏽♂️
Same as well
It’s probably more Chinese crap that was rebranded to make more money.
@@christopherzuniga8705 And after his appearance on Hot Ones, I learned he has a doctorate. I'm unsure in what, though.
This is my second one. We have it outside the garage door exposed to the elements yearound czcams.com/users/postUgkxreK_FUQ74_bylFqCr3y2MHqL3u78-b3r Direct sunlight deteriorated the plastic on the thermostat and severe winds blew the lid off. We found it about an acre away. I bought a new one and I saved the good parts from the old one as spares. Got about 8 years out of the first one.
Hey just a heads up. The George Foreman grill comes in multiple models depending on where you buy it. The best version is from Costco. I purchased the Walmart version and when going online to review recipes I found out there’s a Walmart, Target, and Costco version. I sent the Walmart version back and got the Costco because it has a digital display that gives it more controls like a timer and temperature gauge.
Is it the same price at $90. If so might be some competition but at $90 the Shaq wins in my book
Bad marketing honestly lol.
It's the same for the Ninja Foodi air fryer. You get the most features buying it from Sam's Club, and the best price when on sale there as it hits just below $160.
Probably just newer model.
He acknowledges this at 15:43 already.
Keep in mind that the Foreman was initial created for "healthier" eating, so it's designed to get the grease away from your food. Unfortunately, part of the same process to remove grease also removes the other juices, which is the press. That's why it isn't as juicy and fills up the drip tray a lot more. I have one of the higher end Foreman grills with swappable plates and I love it. But I also have a real grill now for when I prioritize flavor.
foreman cooks the fastest out of like any method.....
Not to mention Fat is not unhealthy, it's actually good for you. Too many people eat processed carbs such as sugar and also starches. Then wonder why their body needs sugar for fuel and ignores fat.
@@Zenkai76 so we should be chugging that grease?
@@willn8664well you can use it to make a gravy.
I'm not even buying a new grill, but your reviews just keeps on getting more more addicting! 😅🤩
The upper lid digging less deeper on the Shaq grill made a difference.
wierd you didn't show the cleaning process, since you usually do that with other products and gadgets, The cleaning is usually the most important aspect whether or not to buy something.
The Shaq one seems like a much cheaper version of the Ninja foodie grill, but understandably with less features. So that may be a good comparison video.
So the question then is the Ninja Foodie Grill the better of them all? And which is the easiest to clean... WITHOUT a dishwasher????
Yeah, but you don't get the nice big black bald super star athlete comparison
@@lthoang101 well Ninjas dress in all black, and with their hoods they look bald, and they're definitely athletic with tons of fans, so kinda similar.😅
The ninja foodie smart grill is awesome
MalagAste HlaAte Ninja is pretty easy to clean nothing really sticks. But, the odd shaped groves are kind of annoying if you’re not using the brush it came with. It’s great for grilling chicken and roasting veggies. Look out for the Ninja at Kohl’s. I got one on sale used a coupon and Kohl’s cash got it for like 160 bucks.
"Shaq burgers are juicier"
Somewhere Rich Evans is thinking about that juicy shaq meat
I was going to comment this but you beat me to it.
The best part about your videos is the fact that you responsibily read the instruction manual before you give a go with the product. Class man class.
I agree! I love his attention to instructions BEFORE diving into anything. I had a chemistry teacher that instilled this in me in grade 10, and it drives me insane every time a CZcamsr "tests" something, but they start the process before even looking at the instructions, let alone thoroughly reading them beforehand.
It's good because he doesn't waste time figuring it out during the video like Crazy Russian Hacker does.
@@dannydaw59 That russian guy is a kid in a candy shop.
@@dannydaw59 Or another youtuber who "tests" food items sans instructions then will claim the device doesnt work - when he's not busy putting out "party salad" videos or videos on how to serve raw chicken.
@@joeees7790 Jack?
I've had a George Foreman grill for more than 10 years and it is still going as strong as the day I bought it. It is just about used daily. Never had the problem that it squashed toasted sandwiches like that and neither that anything comes out very dry. It has a sliding temp control and a dial timer. Very easy uncomplicated device to use. I have even started using it to heat meat pies and it does a terrific job. Imagine eating a hot pie with grill marks!
I've had several George Foreman grills over the years and after watching this, I went online to search for a Shaq brand. Found at Target for 49.99 and ordered for pick-up later today. Can't wait to try it!
How did I go?
@@shawnboettinger4675 Brought it home but haven't opened it yet. :D
@@JanaTheRudeGirl tag me when you do!
How’d it go ?
@@coryaw95 Didn't read the instructions (which I am VERY bad at doing) but got it done. When I turned it on, it was set at 400 so I left it. I set my timer for 6 minutes, then realized after a couple that I hadn't turned on the upper plate. Turned that on and flipped the burgers since the bottom was pretty much done already. Final result is they turned out fine, juicy and I was happy with the end result. I am 68 and just don't cook that much anymore but I am looking forward to trying pork chops with it!!!
This channel is always entertaining. I love cooking, so the focus on cooking tools and appliances is awesome for me.
I've owned Foreman grills for what seems like my whole life, but in this competition the Shaq grill wins. That spring loaded bottom grill plate is genius. And as I get older and more forgetful, having a timer function is a godsend.
That spring is really under appreciated.
That timer looks really tempting.
But sadly, doesn’t really remove a lot of fat.
@@karinborschman1619 the fat's what makes it taste good!
@@karinborschman1619 that isn't a bad thing. Look up how fat was stigmatized by big sugar. It's no where near as bad for you as almost any kind of sugar is.
Just went to Target and picked up the Shaq grill in Jax. It's on sale for $50 right now.
Bargin. 🇬🇧👍
You will wish you bought two. 🇬🇧👍
My family had a foreman grill back when it looked like a white dome, with a small plate you needed to put under it to catch greese
Me too! At the time it worked well
I still have it and still use it
Me too, loved it then, love it now!
That's the one I had. The little 2 burger grill, lol. I decided to move up to the newer model and boy was I sad I did. That original one worked so much better. Lol
My family still has that haha
The Foreman Grill was pitched to Hulk Hogan first, but he never got back to them in time. Or else we would be leg dropping the fat....Brother!
Didnt know that! Thats pretty funny!
😂😂😂😂
Instead Hogan got a blender that nobody used 🤣
@@ThePunk01 Also, I heard he turned down the grill to do Pastamania.
Pastamania.
I love how you integrated their highlight moments for you in this. You are a great content creator I love it!
Wanted to let you know that your videos make my day. Thank you!
Always makes me smile when I see a new upload notification from our faithful leader
One point you missed is how hard or easy are they to clean? That is a major factor when I'm trying to decide which appliance to buy.
Your channel is such an amazing, honest, entertaining source of information. I just purchased the SHAQ grill. Add that to a short list of items we have discovered and bought thanks to you and this channel. THANK YOU!!
Another excellent video. God bless you, Bailey and RIP Daisy.
DAISY DIED! :(
Who is Daisy?
@@Steve_in_NJ Daisy was his dog of like 13 years.
The timer feature on the Shaq is kinda weird. You figure it would start the countdown after you close the lid or after it feels that you put something on the actual grill.
Like any cooking I've done, I don't start cooking timers until I place the food on the cooking surface.
I have an old model George Formleman and I love it. It came with the regular grill, the extra waffle inserts, and the panini inserts. I think there are so many different models of both out there that you can find the one that best fits your needs. I don't think you can go wrong either way.
As always, thank you for your videos. I really do watch them before purchasing things. Great job.
I worked in restaurants for years. If we wanted fast, we used weights on the meat but it always comes out drier. The reason why the George may have been lighter color on bottom is if the chicken got pressed down into the grates, so the juices didn't drain as well. So then it would steam more on the bottom than grill. YMMV
I've had two george forman grills, a bigger one years ago and a smaller one now and i love both! i make burgers all the time on it and it's so easy and quick. and on the bigger one i made steaks and other stuff too, worked great
Lay off the burgers, Jason.
@@coryaw95 why?
Once again, Freakin' Reviews makes it easy to choose! Thanks for taking your time (and $$) to challenge the manufacturers. When I am ready to add a grill, I know the one to pick!
Thanks for the work you do and keeping me smiling.
More of it please. Great Video 💪🏻
Love watching all your vids! Funny to see this grill comparison as I just received/used my Dash mini grill today! Now I own the Dash mini grill, mini bundt maker, and mini waffle maker and love them all! I live alone so they’re really easy to portion and use for my meals. I am keto so I do alot of sweet and savory chaffles on the waffle maker! I use the bundt maker mainly for steaming veggies but also making a few bundt-shaped goodies. I will be using the grill for my salmon cakes, and of course chicken and burgersI used to own a GF grill and I loved it when I had kids at home (15 years ago) but now it’s just more surface than I need.
Nice job on all the sports references. Thanks for sharing another great video.
Love your videos!
these are both great for dorm living and/or apartments that don't have a stove/overhead fan. I've owned Foreman grills in the past and they are always solid with how simplistic they are.
remember that George sold the company to Salton(I believe) in the 90,s for something like $40million and sold the rights so they could use his name for the products
Good for George! Not only a great fighter but also a hellava business man too!
@@mikeh8228 Not to good with names though. At least not for his sons. George has twelve kids, of which five are sons. These sons are all named George in some form. Their formal names are George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI. No risk for confusion here...
That reveal @9:17 got me so good, that was the funniest thing to see. It's like something straight out of a cartoon.
Your videos are very helpful thank you
I truly love it video I love write from the start u open the boxes and compare instructions to instructions and how you are like me in detail
I absolutely love your reviews! I have three frying pans! These grills have a lot of bits and pieces to clean! Okay rather just clean a pan! My aunt and uncle have the George Foreman, they love it! I have the kitchen aid can opener that you recommended! I love it! Thank you for all your hard work! Love from Canada 🇨🇦!
Thanks for posting. This was interesting.
A couple thoughts. I can't say for certain since I wasn't present for the tests. but it looked more like steam than smoke escaping from each grill.
It would have been interesting to check the accuracy of each grills temperature settings. Was 425 really 425? Did the top element attain the same temp as the lower?
Oh cool, looking forward to this one!
The George Foreman grills have always used a floating hinge for the top cover. The weight of the top smushes the food, which I never liked. Thats why the burgers are sandwiches are flatter. It also presses out all the liquids, fat or not. This causes the natural juices in the meat to be squeezed out and is why they are so dry. I had a George Foreman Grill from around 2000. The small one with the bun warmer. I used it for a while, but the novelty wore off. I actually just recently decided to get rid of it. It was mostly unused in the last 20 years and just taking up space.
Yep, they were designed that way on purpose to try and have less fat in your food to make it healthier. But, they definitely have a dry blander taste to them.
@@keinlieb3818 No. The tilt/drain was designed to let the fat drip away from the food, so it wasnt sitting and frying in its own fat. The weight of the lid pressed the natural juices (which are not fat) out of the burgers.
@@finkelmana those natural juices are fat. Where do you think all that grease comes from that drips away? Seriously, what are those "juices" made of if it's not fat?
@@keinlieb3818 No. Not at all. Instead of spouting false information, do 2 seconds of googling. You might learn something.
@@finkelmana that's why I said "seriously". What are those juices made of? I mean, you seem to know, so why not just tell me instead being condescending and telling to Google it.
Great video it's concise, informative, and interesting.
Idea for the next review, test the wattage also.
Yes a new video. I’d love to recommend a new shaving video. Love the channel keep up the great work
I really do think that George Foreman grill is the best one out there and my very first George Foreman grill big enough to put two Hamburgers on it and it had the bun warmer on top
Ah, the bun warmer. Also known as the top got WAY to hot so they added the plastic dome and called it a "bun warmer" so they didn't have to fix it....lol
I think George's grill just squeezes the food while grilling it whereas the shaq's grill leaves more space when the lid is closed so that's why the burger was less juicy on gorge and the cheese squeezed out the bread for the grilled cheese
1000iq
No shit sherlock
@@deezynutz4742 well I didnt see him mention it in the video but alright, thanks tho
you ever watch a short order cook a burger on a grill, before flipping it, he mashes the juice out of it! That's what the GF grill does the entire time it cooks it. I like its burgers very much, have cooked boneless pork chops and chicken breasts on it too. But I cut the chicken breasts to where they are all the same thickness before cooking. Come out fine.
George's grill is suited for nonfat grilling and deep grilling meat, whereas Shaq's is for keeping the juiciness in the meat.
With the Mutemath shirt on too! I didn’t even know Shaq sold an indoor grill. Great review!
All around great video - I enjoy your content :)
I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon. Sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious. It's good for me. It's a perfect way to start the day.
I really like my Hamilton Beach with a removable Grid for easy cleaning and washing. I bought it on Amazon in 2017 and it still looks like brand new
also i thought there were other foreman Models with hinges that moved ,so that larger items the top lay evenly
I love your grill reviews
I have a question regarding the grease collection on the Shaq grill. You showed there was minimal grease, but failed to show where the balance of the grease was. The collection ring inside must have been holding it. Is that collection ring removable for cleaning purposes? Otherwise, it looks like a chore to get down inside to clean it.
I was wondering this too. The minute he showed that canal thing I was like, "oohhh....no no no, that's gonna be a pain to clean later." With there being such little grease in the tray, it either doesn't make enough contact to eliminate the grease, or it's all collecting inside. Either way, it defeats the purpose for me. I use my old George Foreman (the white dome type one) for the removing of grease benefits.
Ya, I wish that he showed ease of cleaning the grill.
@@Amarianee I checked the Target website, and the official video they have on it shows the bottom plate, and inner grease ring lifting out, along with the top plate, and grease tray to be put in the dishwasher, so it does not look too hard to clean.
Oh! I've talked with someone who uses the phrase "balance of" rather than "rest of" and I was hoping to find out what your first language is, it's an interesting translation issue that I've been trying to figure out. Thank you in advance!
@@MartinGiadrosich lmk when you do
I like the simplicity of the George foreman probably different specks for the uk 🇬🇧 thanks for the vlog 👍
Great reviews! I just wonder which one has the easier clean up?
It seems you can’t go wrong with either, I really loved hearing your favorite moments with both Athletes I am a fan of both myself!
With school ramping back up and some kids heading into college dorms, what would you recommend for "in-dorm" cooking? Can we have a video or "revisit" on that?
I would imagine most colleges don't let you have any kind of in dorm cooking devices besides a microwave, at least that's how it was when I went to school 10 years ago.
@@hotfiyah I know they don't allow "hot plates" or similar devices, but I wonder what is out there. What are the possible options? I've seen people using irons, items that heat hair, and coffee pots--but I wouldn't say they're great for making meals. I've also heard about some people touting the convection toaster ovens as an alternative to the hot plate because it's "enclosed". Air fryers?
i know this may sound weird but looking into prison cooking videos might be a decent idea.
they have access to ramen noodle packs but the only hot water comes out of the tap and is luke warm, some of the shit those people come up with is pretty creative.
Sara Fimm he did a review for something called 5 minute chef, basically a small oval George Forman grill, might be useful for dorms if they allow it(easy to hide though with its small size during dorm inspections) but can't fit much on there
Sara Fimm I used to use a clothes iron to cook quesadillas in my dorm room 😄, turn it upsidedown and keep it flat and steady with some sneakers, rolled up towels or make a stand for it, you could put a pot or frying pan on it, there's many CZcams vids of people cooking with them 👍
You do good videos, dude. Captivating demeanor and fun ideas. Hope you go far.
Can we get an instant pot vs ninja foodi pressure cookers showdown with both air fry lids? I know you've done air fryers before but the pressure cooker with air fry lids are more of an all in one approach I think.
I still have an original foreman grill from 1994 and use multiple times per week, i love it, dont need the fancy addons, i have a timer and meat thermometer that work, i wish you would have shown the trouble of cleaning both
That mandlebrot set poster in the back is one of the coolest things I've seen and I'm super jealous now, good for you man lol, that's awesome
Great video, again! But how well do they clean?
Didn't even know Shaq had a grill!
We learn something new everyday
Awesome review
Part of my comparison shopping for pretty much any product is how easy it is to MAINTAIN and CLEAN. The grilled cheese mess might have been a good time to mention how to clean the grills. Good review though, as usual.
I like that Bold & Brash poster in the background 😂
Which one would be better in a semi? Which one draws more power? I have a 1500 watt inverter.
Thank you if you respond.
My 20$ (CDN) George Foreman grill that I bought many years ago is the bare bones single burger grill. No on/off switch, no temperature control. Nothing. But it works pretty good and is cheap.
"George is more done than Shaq".... that is a very good description for the two men.
That intro was fantastic 💯🔥
Nice review, as always. I would have chosen the Foremen because it seemed to get rid of much more grease and for the space-saving feature that I don't believe you said Shaq had.
OK I will be getting the SHAQ. Thank you for doing these videos. You save me lots of time deciding which one to choose.
I didn't even know Shaq had a grill, until just now.
I've had 2 Foreman grills. I would highly recommend the family size grill.
I ordered the Shaq grill on 9/6/21 from ShopHq, and it was only $49.99! I can’t wait to use it! I’ll be grilling chicken mostly since that’s all I really eat lol, good review.
I got me too lol I seen that and I was SOLD I got mines for 38.99 on HQ 10/24/21
Was there any difference when cleaning them in the dishwasher? I purchased an inexpensive electric griddle that claims to be dishwasher safe but it does not even fit into my dishwasher. Love the channel, keep the reviews coming.
Shaq's packaging looked like it had the as seen on tv logo, but I've never seen it. Good video.
That's because it's ran at 3am on local stations to fill time, and I have no doubt at least 10 -15 of the 30+ shopping, or infomercial channels DirecTV has running 24/7.
@@CommodoreFan64 True! Didn't think of that 😄
Brilliant job
I've owned two George Foreman's grills. The first was one of the originals and cleaning that was a nightmare. The teflon eventually wore off. The second one I have currently. We use it from time to time but we got a charcoal grill and use that currently since it's summer. We'll probably go back to the Foreman for winter cooking. The plates at the 30-ish dollar version come and clean up nice. There is a patina that cannot be scrubbed from under the plates--a bit rust/black color like my cookie sheets can get but not scrub off like the cookie sheets; it's on there permanently. I do not like the light system. It's supposed to go Green when it's ready, but it doesn't. It's got yellow and red so you start red when you preheat, change to yellow and then are supposed to go green. I waited half an hour. No green. Haven't seen green more than 5 seconds once then it dropped back to yellow in the middle of cooking. It cooks well. Grilled cheese never worked on either Foreman but pannis DO work. We used to make them a lot on the old one. I am particularly fond of roast beef and swiss on rye or a more traditional ham and multiple versions of cheese sandwich on any bread. I'm glad that I replaced the defunct older one but wonder often if I should have gotten a bit better one at the higher price point. Still not sure on that. REMOVABLE PLATES ARE A MUST though. Trust me. Lifesaver.
I have never had a shack Grill. However I've had three George Foreman grills, always like George Foreman grills. And I've had one Hamilton Beach Grill which that's the one I like the best but I just can't find them. Unfortunately I wore them all out.
Never had a Hamilton Beach grill but I’ve seen the reviews, I’d love to try one but I can’t find any in the U.K.
@@shanethrelfall416 I've got a Hamilton Beach grill, they are good, but you really have to watch it as they don't have a heat setting, they can tend to burn things easy, and at least on mine the lid is a bit heavy, and does not like to stay open on it's own very well, and the outside gets really hot, but if it's raining outside it's good for cooking 6 - 8 burgers at a time. where my smaller George with the bun warmer only does 2 at a time max.
Wow! You must do a whole lotta grilling!!!
@@BrittMFH I don't have an oven.
LOL
@@bcgreen7479 I hear ya. Mine doesn't work and I use a toaster oven.🙃
The Shaq Grill has Two Drip Trays. The first one is directly under the bottom grill plate which has a small overflow hole that will drip into the bottom drip tray underneath if necessary
With its patented design, the fat drains directly into my mouth!
We have had one of the Shaq grills for several months. It's fantastic for making grilled cheeses and patty melts, as well as steaks, chicken breasts, and other such. We also have a very old Foreman grill that's still kicking after 10+ years - it's very basic, not nearly as fancy as the one you showed here, but it's a trooper and I like how it does burgers better than how the Shaq does them.
Not sure if Tefal Optigrill can be found in the US but it is absolutely stellar as an indoor grill
“George actually finished in 4 minutes” also james white 2021
Great review but what i wanna know is what is that great looking chart behind your right shoulder???? I need to know!
Nicely done 👍🏽
love this vid.didnt know shaq had a grill likes this or any.this was a good side by side vid.now u gots me thinking about buying one.good vid.
Good review
Since he skimmed by it I will point out that contrary to how it looked at 4:21 the Shaq grill does, in fact, touch whatever is put in with both grill plates which you can see most clearly at 6:19 as there's burger juice sizzling on the top grill. Of course you can also see this with all the other tests as everything else has grill lines both top and bottom. Just figured it'd be worth noting here as I know it's easy to get caught up in the flow of the video and not realize the first impressions were thankfully not accurate.
I will also point out that both grills contour to the shape of the meat when one side is thicker than the other, contrary to how it looks from the outside at 11:42. This is due to what he mentioned near the beginning at around 3:50, the fact that the Shaq grill's top may not shift but the bottom grill on the inside is spring loaded, allowing it to shift instead and conform to whatever's inside, meaning that no matter which grill is chosen the user is going to get even grill lines across the entire thing and not have to worry about the grill not touching any part of the top or bottom of what's being cooked.
These things were clearly silently taken into account, but I felt they were also worth mentioning just in case someone watching remembered the comments about the Shaq grill not touching with both plates and how the Shaq grill only visibly conformed a little but also didn't notice that it had grill lines on both the top and bottom as well as across an entire uneven piece of meat.
As Boy George said, it's not about who did it first, it's who did it best.
legendary quote, love that in reference to boy george’s fued with the dude from dead or alive
I got the Shaq after this review. I havent gotten to test it yet but I'm excited to!
Which one is easier to clean? I have a Cuisinart version and it is such a mess because the drip tray doesn't work very well.
If you EVER try a Foreman, get the removable plates. I beg you. Get them. Otherwise you're in for a nightmare.
Ninja Foodi is really easy to clean.
I'm not complaining, just figured I'd give you a general cooking tip... If you pound the chicken breasts' thicker end with a meat hammer you can make it cook more evenly which results in less overdone/underdone areas of the meat.
How did they compare for cleaning?
What are they like for cleaning? Sure, they both have removable grill plates but does one scrub up easier than the other? What if they get really dirty with lots of burnt on stuff like cheese and meat fat?
How about which is the best/easiest to clean?
I bought a George Foreman Lean Mean (knock out the fat) Grilling Machine back in 2001. Twenty years later it's still going strong. The Shaq may be good but my Forman is a tank! I will keep making my grease free grilled cheese sandwiches with George.
In a review of this type of machine, I would have liked to see a comparison of how easy or difficult they were to clean. With drip trays underneath, I would have to believe they need to be disassembled to get the grease out from inside.
thanks sir
Try a Cuisinart Griddler, it costs more than either of these BUT for the features and the final result, I’ll stay with my Cuisinart Griddler Elite indoor electric smokeless grill and griddle. For an outdoor grill flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke sold with the sauces in your supermarket.
