Rave: George Forman Grill

Since I am the ultimate penny pincher, deal finder, price haggler, etc....I did not buy the George Forman Grill like everyone else did like 10 years ago. I don't usually believe the hype of "as seen on tv" products and tend to shy away from even considering them.

I have come to own a George Forman Grill because I went to a penny party and happened to put in only a couple tickets since I was assuming if it was there it either sucked or was broken. Needless to say I was very skeptical of this product as it seemed to be more of a fad than a regular household product. I've never went over someone's house and saw a George Forman Grill just sitting out like a blender or a toaster. Obviously, I won the grill at the penny party, which means I paid literally about 5 cents for it...GOOD DEAL!

I went shopping yesterday and bought some hamburgers and hot dogs because I was in the mood to try out the BBQ Grill that we have in the garage. When we moved in the landlord said we can have anything that was still in the garage which included a BBQ grill, charcoal, and lighter fluid. Well when I got home and went to set up the grill I saw that someone had stolen the charcoal and lighter fluid but left the grill. I think I know who did it. The landlord had some guys come in and paint upstairs and where the charcoal was is now where the left over paint barrels are and plus no one else has the key that we know of.

So..I was stuck for a grill and that's when I remembered I had won the George Forman Grill. I said what the hell plugged it in and slapped a burger on it. It worked beautifully. The burger was all the way done and even though the grease had drained off it had still remained juicy. I was expecting dried out shoe leather honestly but I was pleasantly amazed. I then figured if it can do hamburgers then what about hot dogs so I put 2 on and viola it worked, 2 perfect hot dogs with the BBQ lines. I got to say I was very amazed with this product and the fact it only cost me 5 cents just further does it for my love of the George Forman Grill. I would have paid more for it if I knew it was going to be so convenient. Another plus side of this item is that there was very little smoke. If I would have cooked this on the stove it would have set off every smoke detector in the house and I would have been getting grease splatter all over the place and burning me. This didn't do that. YAY for the George Forman Grill...5 stars!
