I have an older model. No removable grill plates :(

and, the teflon is coming off. With other words, I am due for a new one.

I grill chicken and fish on mine, and quite often make heated sandwiches on there too.

Easiest way to clean it up after grilling is: put a very wet dishrag, or several layers of wet paper towels in as soon as you turn it off.

By the time you ate, everything just wipes off.

Tom bought two, had the earlier model, then bought the "latest" one. He and his son used it...we've never used since I moved in. It's packed in a closet, waiting for the garage sale we'll have eventually.

It doesn't grill, more like roasting. No crust on the meat to hold juices in, so the meat is dry and tasteless.

I prefer using the gas grill outside, the cooktop grill indoors or just oven broiling - all are much better.

I have a small one- would actually like a new one. I use it mostly in the winter for steaks - does a nice job. I usually marinate my steaks and put them on the gril, sometimes will turn them over as mine seems to be a little hotter on one set of grills than the other. Since it doesn't have removable grills, after I use it, I put a wet paper towel between the grills and close it up and wipe it down in the morning. Not a lot of fuss

Everything Moni said.

I like mine. I have two. One that is older and, like moni's, the teflon is coming off and, a newer one that is a little smaller...no removeable plates just the original fixed cooking surface. They do a great job for what they are. Clean up is fast as long as you do exactly what moni said.

I have an older one. I don't buy steaks hardly at all, but do use it for chicken and hamburgers, but really like it to make quasadias (sp?) Sure would like one of the newer ones I've sen on TV. Dottie

I love mine and cook all kinds of meats. I marinate most of my meats and they come out nice and juicy and taste great. I also do fresh veggies like asparagus, zucchini and other squashes on there.

I also cook my bacon on it and then put a 2 X 4 under the front legs and cook pancakes. Bobby loves the pancakes on it since it leaves ridges for the syrup.

Easy as can be to clean up. Just put a dishrag with hot soapy water on it on the grill after you shut it off and close the lid.

It's faster to clean up if you line the grill with parchment paper. Still cooks just the same--you get grill marks, etc, but no mess on the grill at all. Only difference I see using parchment (and I use it EVERY time I use my Foreman Grill, no matter what I'm cooking on it) is that meat stays much moister.

I have 2, a tabletop one that I use almost daily and one on a stand that I keep in my kitchen. I make terrific steaks on mine..chicken, fish, etc., all are wonderful cooked on the grill. I wish mine would wear out so I could get the newer version!!! I have had mine to long to remember and never had a problem with the surface.

Great idea about using parchment paper! Thanks.

You mean you put the parchment paper right on the grill surface and the grill stays clean? What about the top part, then you clean that?

I put parchment below and above the food (I actually fold a sheet in half, putting the fold back by the hinge) so that the food doesn't touch the grill at all. Have been doing it for years, and it works great.

We have the G-5 with the removable plates and the waffle plates. We LOVE it, use it all the time. Just grilled chicken on it last night. We are a family of four and it has been a life saver on those nights when the boys have football practice and dinner needs to happen in a hurry. We do steak, chicken, fish, sandwiches, grilled veggies, and waffles of course. I highly recommend them. Well worth the price.

Great tip on the parchment and wet towels!
