George Foreman GR340FB 4-Serving Classic Plate Electric Indoor Grill and Panini Press, Black

One of those things that just works. Love it. Exactly what we needed to be able to grill 2 burgers at the same time. I never believed the "4-serving" claim; based on grill surface area and burger diameter, I estimated it would fit 2 regular sized burgers; my estimate proved correct to my great satisfaction. (See picture with 2 burgers on the grill.) Also, there is a plastic "stand" in the back, which permits 2 position settings. The grill lies "flat" at the default setting (the plastic stand is folded in). The grill is nicely sloped (higher in the back, lower in the front), if the rear "stand" is pulled out. Some reviewers who say it does not slope are probably not aware of the stand in the back that can be pulled out to make the grill slant forward. When to use which setting? When grilling a burger, pull out the rear stand so the grill slopes forward and the juices run off (instead of collecting and thus "boiling" rather than grilling the burger patty). When grilling a panini, fold the stand in or down so that the grill lies flat for the sandwich. (See picture of the grill back with the plastic stand.) The "juice" collector on the front can now be connected to the grill. There are slots on the lower front of the grill for this. So, when the grill is moved, the collector moves too. This ensures that all runoff is collected and does not spill on the kitchen surface. The plates are not removable, which is what I want. Removable plates are unsafe because they fall off when the grill is hot, causing problems (like burns, or how to put it back on while hot). Non-removable plates heat reliably and are solid — will never fall out. Cleaning is easy. Once cooled down, I just put it on an empty sink and let warm water gently run across the plates while wiping it with wet soapy paper towels, and then rinse. I NEVER SOAK it, and never wet the cord particularly the part that plugs into the power socket. Perfectly grilled burgers from freezer to plate in about 5 or 6 minutes — beats the microwave, stove top grill, frying pan, oven, or air fryer. (See video of the grill, well, grilling.) So glad to have this thingamajig in our kitchen.

great griller for burgers franks sausages

Doesnt seem sturdy as those sold when first came out, more lightweight. Cooks the same. Hopefully this model will last as long as the first one.

Thank you George Foreman and need of another one after 14 years. Love love love

I have a much larger & heavier indoor contact grill by another mfr. that I consider state-of-the-art. It has removable plates, a sear feature as well as a range of temperatures. A great product, but large & bulky. To grill a single item, such as a swordfish steak, this grill is more practical. While it lacks the temperature adjustment, it does the job. While I miss the removable plates, I chose this unit because it will do the job & take up little storage room when not in use. The choice of slanted or flat positioning is a plus. For a very reasonable price, this gets the job done & it does it well.

Bought to replace a first generation model and very happy, only difference I would like to see is a bun warmer

Doesn’t get a hot as the larger red one I have. Otherwise it works fine. The drip pan is difficult to work with while cooking but this gets used many times during the week.

Incredible! Cooks so fast! This size is perfect for just one sandwich or large T bone, but get the larger if there are more than one in your home. Cleans really easy even though the grills cant be removed. Pork chops are not dry with this and cook so fast and easy. I find I use very little salt or other seasonings, they just aren't needed with this (in my opinion). I bought this because I wore out my other one over years of use. Love the indicator light. It is very accurate. I use this daily and love it!! The panini feature makes it so you can make delicious grilled cheezes in a minute or two with zero butter. They are just as good as the paninis I had in Europe! Ten stars! Update. Have used for about 3 weeks now. This grill is perfect. Even though you cannot remove the grills to clean, you just wipe them clean with a paper towel and it totally cleans. I grill everything on it, including broccoli, onions, steaks, sandwiches. Does not carry taste over on the next thing grilled (even Salmon). I don't think I would bother with the removable grills. Also, I put NOTHING on the grills when I am cooking. Pam is NOT needed. Also noted that I used hardly any salt, oils or other seasonings. The grill seems to bring out the flavors more than cooking other ways. Cooks so fast, you will be amazed. Amazingly easy! Can't say enough positive about this product, as you can probably tell!!
