George Foreman GRP2841R 5-Serving Removable Plate Grill with Variable Temperature

George Foreman GRP2841R 5-Serving Removable Plate Grill with Variable TemperaturePurchased May 2013 at W--mart for under $60. At this price you get a good grill to cook two burgers, steaks, etc.

Grills are easy to remove for dishwasher -wish they offered more than just the standard crosshatch top / ridge bottom grills. Maybe someday?

UPDATE 6/6/13: Great news! I took a chance and ordered the shallow flat plate grill George Foreman GFP84GP Evolve Grill 84-Square Inch Shallow Griddle Accessory Pan and it fits perfectly! This will allow cooking of flat items like fish filets that rally don't need a ribbed surface. Other 84 square inch replacement grills such as the deep pan and cupcake insert MAY also fit. The top crosshatch grill is a slighty different size to overfit the others, so only the bottom grill in 'optionable' as far as I know.

I'm upgrading my rating to 5 stars having cooked weiners, bratwurst, steaks, cubed steaks, hamburgers, fish, and chicken, and grilled flatbread. The temperature control has a good range of "slow cooking with minimal grill marks" to "heavy grill marks". Like most hinged grills it doesn't get hot enough to ideally sear steaks for rare/mid rare but it's close.

You cook by ear -the grill cooks VERY quickly -once you hear steam generation START to drop off take a look unless you want whatever it is well done. Weiners cook best at below mid temp, lighter grill marks but jucier steamy insides! BEST appliance-cooked weiners I've had! (Campfire weiners are another story).

The one weakness of this grill (and all hinged grills) is that it doesen't do a very good job with uneven thickness items like one chicken leg quarter. All thighs, or all drumsticks, should be fine (cook bone-in chicken for a longer time at lower temp to cook thoroughly).
