And when I do use it again, once it's been heated up, I usually wipe the plates quickly with a damp paper towel to clean off any residue I might have left from the previous time

Over the years I have developed a very specific view of this: the hot plates sizzle and seal in the juices effectively

On the other hand, if you grab a paper towel and clean, then wipe down, the plates while they're warm, you'll love them

:I usually wipe the plates with a paper towel after removing the food while the plates are still quite hot

They didn't like them and thought they were a pain to clean, and those who loved them because they paid attention to one simple thing: clean the plates while they're warm

I've found the fixed plates to give the best results -- they seem to get hotter -- but they can be trickier to clean.

Easy Peasy and less time than it took to write this paragraph!OBSERVATIONS/CONCLUSIONS:Over the decades I've cooked pretty much any meat, poultry or fish on my GF grills with delectable results time after time

The fixed plate grills have given me consistent and excellent results and I find them easy and quick to clean

Great results, but you need to be careful when moving it, as only the top is not hot.

So far we have tried steak (thin and thick cuts), chicken breast, pork chops, and even hash browns with excellent results and great taste, no dry meat!

On the other hand, two filet mignons at a time work very well.

Get another model and don't waste your time with this one

It seems to get to hot first time used it and it dried out my burger

I use this all the time and would highly recommend for ease of use and versatility.

Not the best thing for steak; it just doesn't get hot enough to sear and cook a good medium-rare piece

I'm giving it a thumbs up because we really love these things, but again, this is smaller than you think (especially if working with frozen foods),

The George Foreman Grill is a handy tool in the kitchen.

Love the grill but was disappointed that I had to purchase the cleaning tool.

My last grill came with cleaning tool.

This GF grill comes with the grease catch tray, a instruction booklet and a cleaner/scraper tool

Happy with my foreman grill - drains the fat and it's a good size to feed two people.

Like many of the other reviewers, I've used the George Foreman grills since they first hit the market.

I loved my previous foreman grill that i had for 10+ years before it stopped working

For over twenty years, our kitchen counter has never been without a George Foreman grill sitting there and ready to use

This George Foreman Grill cooks great and clean up is a breeze too.

Each cut of chicken or fish was about 3/4 lb and took up the whole grill area, so I think the serving size is exaggerated

I can fit 3 good size burgers on this grill without crowding them

While size is an issue on this particular model, it does mostly function as one would expect

You could do 1 nice size steak and 2 decent burgers - any more

This one is a great size too because you can put a good amount of food in it without it taking up too much space.

I find that since it's just the hubby and me, this smaller model is perfect for us.

Advertising specs 4 burgers .. maybe if they were the size of a nugget .Get a better model.

I mistakenly added the wrong model to my cart

Also, I'm not sure the current models run as hot on the grills as the old models.

She is an inexperienced cook, but loves to do so when she has time

They did cook up beautifully and did not have any issue with uneven cooking due to thickness

Its perfect for a quick cook.butslice your meat in half to make it thinner for best cook

She is an inexperienced cook, but loves to do so when she has time

I use it for panini, hamburger, steaks, chicken very useful cooks quickly

I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I would highly not recommend this product

In short, these are great products, and if you clean them when they're warm, they'll be easy to maintain
