George Foreman Cooking is the official home of the George Foreman grill: the sloped contact grill that cooks both sides at once and drains fat into a drip tray. The site sells the classic compact grills, larger family models, indoor-outdoor electric grills and related cooking appliances, plus replacement parts and accessories.
Buying a George Foreman grill well comes down to three choices: how many portions you cook at once, whether the plates come out for washing, and whether you need temperature control or just on and off.
Sizing a George Foreman grill by servings
George Foreman grills are usually described by how many servings they hold. The smallest two-serving models suit one person cooking a burger, a chicken breast or a toasted sandwich. They are cheap and fit in a cupboard.
Four- and five-serving George Foreman grills suit a couple or a small family. Above that, the larger models let a family of four cook in one batch rather than two, which matters when everything needs to be hot at the same time.
Measure the counter and the storage space before choosing a big George Foreman model. Larger grills are bulky and the lid needs clearance when open.
Removable plates versus fixed plates
This is the choice that decides whether you keep using the grill. Fixed-plate George Foreman grills are cleaned in place with a damp cloth or the plastic scraper while the plates are warm. They are cheaper, but cleaning around the hinge takes patience.
Removable-plate George Foreman grills let you lift the plates out and wash them in the sink or, on many models, the dishwasher. Check the product page to confirm the plates are dishwasher safe on the model you are looking at.
Some George Foreman models also offer swappable plates such as waffle or panini plates. They add versatility, but only buy them if you will actually use the second function.
Temperature control and features
Entry-level George Foreman grills have one fixed heat setting. They work well for burgers, chicken and sandwiches and are hard to get wrong.
Models with variable temperature let you cook fish and vegetables more gently and sear steak harder. A digital timer and adjustable hinge for thick foods are useful extras on mid-range George Foreman grills.
Check the wattage on the product page. A higher-wattage George Foreman grill heats up faster and recovers heat quicker between batches.
Cooking times on a George Foreman grill are shorter than in a pan, because both sides cook at once. Start with the times in the manual, use a meat thermometer for chicken and pork until you know your grill, and cut thick pieces to an even thickness so the lid closes flat.
Indoor-outdoor George Foreman models
The round indoor-outdoor George Foreman grill stands on a pedestal and works on a balcony or patio where charcoal and gas are not allowed. Check your building rules; many apartments permit electric grills when other types are banned.
These models need an outdoor-rated extension lead if the socket is not close. Keep the grill covered or indoors when not in use, since it is an electrical appliance.
Cleaning and non-stick care
George Foreman plates have a non-stick coating. Use the supplied scraper or wooden and silicone utensils, never metal, which scratches the coating.
Clean while warm, not hot, with the grill unplugged. Empty the drip tray after every use. A George Foreman grill that is cleaned each time lasts far longer than one left with baked-on fat.
Parts, warranty and returns
George Foreman Cooking sells replacement drip trays, scrapers and on some models spare plates. Match the model number on the base of your grill before ordering a part.
Check the warranty length and the current returns window on the site before buying. Keep the receipt and register the product if registration is offered.
Where the George Foreman Cooking savings are
Try the 20% code first. Its name points to a Father's Day promotion, so it may be seasonal; if it has expired, the 15% code is the fallback.
A percentage code pays most on a larger George Foreman grill, so the extra you save can narrow the gap between a fixed-plate model and a removable-plate one. That upgrade is the one most worth making.
George Foreman codes normally apply one per order and may exclude parts or already reduced items. Compare the sale price with the code applied to the full price.
Also check the same George Foreman model at large retailers before buying. Prices move around holidays, and a code on the official site is only a saving if the starting price is competitive.
Common questions
Which George Foreman grill is easiest to clean?
A model with removable, dishwasher-safe plates. Confirm dishwasher safety on the product page.
What size George Foreman grill for a family of four?
A larger model rated for five servings or more, so everything cooks in one batch.
Can I use a George Foreman grill on a balcony?
The indoor-outdoor electric models are designed for it, but check your building rules first.
Do George Foreman codes stack?
Usually not. Use the 20% code if it is still live, otherwise the 15% one.
