Manufacturer's Description
The George Foreman Indoor / Outdoor grill is the most radical yet versatile product to enter the UK outdoor cooking market since the popular gas-fuelled barbecues. If swapping over a gas bottle is too complicated for you and the thought of lighting coals is just too much of an effort, what could be simpler than plugging in?
With virtually no smoke, the Double Champion is great for people living in apartment blocks with small terraces or for people living in a smokeless zone. The George Foreman Double Champion grill easily converts from indoor to outdoor use, perfect for the UK's temperamental summers. Easier to use and more convenient than its gas or solid fuel counterparts, the grill is a must for health conscious UK households.
George Foreman's Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine is the world's No. 1 selling grill, market-leader in the USA and now the UK. The unique sloped groove system keeps food above and away from the fat and channels it into drip trays provided, whilst the double-sided non-stick grills cook food evenly cutting most cooking times in half. The Double Champion is capable of grilling up to 12 burgers or 12 chicken breasts at one time, the 6cm floating hinge can accommodate extra thick steaks, chops and more while the variable temperature gives more flexibility and control.
Customer Reviews
Bigger than George Foreman himself....
This Health Grill is truly huge...... when friends came over I was almost embarrassed to 'bring it out'!! But such were the compliments about the quantity of food it could grill in one go, my worries have frizzled away.
I had a medium sized grill before, but it never grilled enough food in one go when everyone was hungry!! This model may be a whopper, and bigger even than George Foreman himself....but I wouldn't swap it now.
If you've a large family and liked your previous Health Grill this one is worth finding a home for somewhere in your four walls. Just check the dimensions on the product review before you buy.....it's about 20" x 16" (excluding the 2" handle at the front).
Overall though, it deserves the 5 stars because it cooks for all our family in a single grilling - I simply will never get my family living off healthy smoothies etc, so I recommend this as a good compromise.
Really great but cleaning is a pain!
I have used this grill for several years. It is great at cooking loads of identical vegetables or hamburgers. The fat drainer really works and, if you are not careful, things can end up dry!
Vegetables, especially sliced courgettes and peppers and excellent on it. I have tried fish wrapped in foil and they were also very good.
Onto the negatives. It is less successful at cooking a variety of things at the same time. While the 'floating hinge' works, it only works for thick things at the back and thin at the front (or vice versa) - it doesn't handle thick on the left and thin on the right etc. Similarly, if you have a selction of thick items, then any thin ones nearby get cooked only on the bottom since the lid doesn't touch them.
All of those things can be handled by arranging the food on the grill, however.
What cannot be 'fixed' is the cleaning! The grill is a monster to clean, you need a HUGE sink to clean it and you can't put it in it since it is electrical. I suppose if you use it outdoors, you might be able to hose it down but we have it in our kitchen.
