Overview
Tilting the plates to drain fat, or setting them flat for panini, is how the George Foreman compact indoor grill handles both jobs. Top and bottom classic plates with Advanced George Tough nonstick coating cook food from both sides at once.
A small storage footprint is what this grill offers, with a short body that tucks into a cupboard or a tight countertop spot. The adjustable angle covers fat draining grilling and flat panini toasting. Capacity is the limit, so larger households will be cooking in rounds.
Who it's for
Singles and couples with little counter or cupboard room get a grill that doubles as a panini press. Larger households, or anyone wanting detachable plates for the dishwasher, should size up.
Pros and cons
- Tilts to drain fat, flat for panini
- Compact body stores in tight spots
- Advanced George Tough nonstick coating
- Grills both sides at once
- Sized for two servings only
- Removable plates not listed
Performance notes
Cooking speed comes from contact with heated top and bottom plates, so thin, even cuts finish faster than thick ones. Tilting the plates sends fat away from the food, while the flat setting holds sandwiches level for pressing. Preheating fully before loading helps, since cold food pulls heat from the plates.
