This is a long post, but wanted to show you can cook more than steak and burgers on this grill. As far as cleanup, the secret is to clean while the grill is still hot. You can do this just after you remove the food, OR, turn off the grill and reheat later for cleaning. Two ways to do this; once grill is hot, I turn it off and spray water on both surfaces. The food just boils off (if you've ever seen a flat grill cleaned at a diner, you know what I'm talking about. I finish with a wet sponge or a paper towel. Another method I use is this: I sewed two black washcloths on three sides (so I could turn it inside out). When I finish cooking, I turn off the grill lay the super wet washcloth on it and close the lid for it to steam. After supper, most of the cooking residue just wipes off. If not, I can preheat and use the wet cloth to finish. Afterwards, the washcloth goes into the laundry to be reused.
All said (and it's a lot!), don't be afraid of the cleanup. My grill is sparkling clean and it only takes about 5 minutes and no hard work.
This grill is awesome try Google for tons of recipes type in "Recipes George Foreman Grill."This grill works great. I love the Temperature control on this one. To say that this works terrible doesn't make any sense. It works like every other Foreman grill. Take my word for it. This product is wonderful. It cooks food fast.

I read other reviewers' comments on this unit being awkward to use and messy when cleaning. If one wants one that has confident removeable plates and is easy to handle, then go for a smaller and more expensive one. But for myself, wanting to cook more than one tiny steak or small burgers at a time, the suface area was perfect for me. It heats quick enough and fits fine in the cookware drawer.I have the smaller original George Foreman style grill, which I love so much.I was looking for a larger model in order to cook veggies along with my meat/poultry/fish.
I looked at just about all the models before I made my choice of this one. Most of the models did not have the same design as the smaller one, but this one has.
The design I like is this:
The back and edges of the bottom grill are designed to catch drips from the top grill when you open it and run them in a small gutter around the outside edge of the bottom grill, directing them onto the drip tray.
This also means that when you clean the top grill with a wet cloth, the drips do not go down behind the grill onto the counter top. They land on the back of the bottom grill and can go through the gutter to the drip tray at the front of the grill. Many models are not designed like this.
Clean up of both my George Foreman grills is very easy. Removable plates are not necessary. After it has cooled a little bit, place a fairly wet, warm cloth on the bottom grill and close the top. Leave it for a while and the grills just wipe clean. No scrubbing.
Foods cook fast.
I'm loving the larger cooking area.I guess I was the last person on the planet to buy a George Foreman Grill, but I'm glad I finally did! It heats up quickly, it cooks evenly and quickly, and clean up isn't too bad. (Just be sure and do it immediately after you take your food off--or at a minimum wipe the worst of it off with a paper towel and then toss on a wet dish rag and close the lid while you eat.)
The surface area is large enough to cook anything a family of four would need. The only bit of a drawback is that some of the parts seem to be a little "wobbly" and cheaply made, but we've had ours now for 6 months and have no problems at all. Sometimes we use it 3 or 4 nights during the week. It's also nice because it doesn't heat up the house.
Glad I bought it!
