Another George Foreman Grill Dies a Premature Death! - a not so glowing review

[@rickhodgkins6937]

If you buy a Hamilton Beach Grill, make sure that the following 2 things are at play. First, make sure that the drip tray is attachable, meaning it locks into place and it does not just sit there. And second, make sure that the grill plates are removable for easy washing.

I completely agree. I've looked at a number of different brands to replace my GF grill and it is surprising to me that some are still made with non detachable grill plates.

I have my original grill purchased in 2005. The surfaces look perfect and I never had a problem. But I only use mine once per week for burgers and some weeks I don’t use it at all.

I’ve had mine that first red one for 3 years now no problem.

I went through five of these things, with all of them having a thermostat problem that eventually made them fail to power on. The last one didn't have the problem, finally, but my omelet plates began to flake. Now I see these are discontinued by the manufacturer, and they no longer sell the plates. Go figure. I'm done with George Foreman after this.

Is the cuisinart able to do burgers? I dont know which one to get

[@GoldlynxRecipesandReviews]

The one advantage of George Foreman grills is how they drain the juices. The one minor disadvantage of Cuisinart grills is that they do not drain juicy burgers so well but you can certainly do burgers on all models of Cuisinart grills.

You're killing them. It's not them,it's you.

That may well be the case but I would like to know how using them at medium temperatures with the appliance on for no more than 20 minutes from pre-heating to finish cooking is doing that? I have never used any of my GF grills at high temperature and have never left them on for any extended period of time.

@@GoldlynxRecipesandReviews I have very old model. No temp setting. It cooks stuff really well.
