    Just how entertaining is this grill? What does it do? Singing, dancing?
    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Got a 3 portion smaller model George Foreman in tesco for 17.49 last week - will do for me.

    Just checked and its back to the original price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81 ✭✭thecons


    Don't know if Tesco have the large one but I'd definitely check their price first. I was amazed to see the small one for €17.50.

    The €17.50 one was in Tesco Mahon Point n Cork about a week ago and they had about 5 on the shelf at that stage. I was surprised myself - was €35 originally and half price on the day. Does the job.

    Cheers, the non-stick was starting to go on the old one :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭buzz55


    Does the entertaining one on Amazon have removable plates so they can be stuck in the dishwasher?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,082 ✭✭✭cfeeneyinterior


    Nope,
    Don't think they are removable, as they say "Easy to clean: non stick finish on both grill plates" but they are very easy lean I think. Just get kitchen disposable tissue and rub them down while the plates are warm. Did that with the last one and didn't die from anything. Ordered this earlier today...... use it for rashers.... bacon butty once they are cooked.
    Happy out.... gotta love a bargain

    Saw the lidl one alright. Its a 2/3 portion one. The argos one is a 10 portion... One of the biggest gfg you can get! Much better value if you need the extra cooking space.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,470 ✭✭✭DonJose


    Got my grill today, fast delivery and its a great family size. Grilled chicken breast for dinner today :pac::pac::pac:

    Yeah saw these in Lidl, they look good, with a silver finish, they're €20 in Lidl here. A genuine Foreman grill for €20 is a great price. Looks like it was this one, for sale in Amazon for £20: http://www.amazon.co.uk/George-Foreman-17894-Compact-Grill/dp/B002MRS1GE/ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1263904427&sr=1-25 .... although this ones supposed to be half price and looks a lot better: http://www.amazon.co.uk/George-Foreman-13621-Sloped-Design/dp/B000MXIR64/ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1263904942&sr=1-10

    I've seen the large family size Foreman grills in Currys. I think they're about €99 and they're massive, like what you'd see in a professional kitchen, impressive. Great for families, way too big for anyone else......

    If you making a bacon butty, just remember to put the bread/roll under the grill instead of the drip tray so you don't loose any of the precious Bacon fat.....

    Grill arrived today, bloody massive :D

    Just after a pound of sausages and 4 slices of bacon, with room to spare.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,182 ✭✭✭killbillvol2


    Speedy delivery...ordered 4.19 am Saturday, delivered 10 am today! Well done OP!

    I meant the same size as the one on offer in tesco, if they were out of stock, second option would be to try lidl.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,082 ✭✭✭cfeeneyinterior


    Arrived yesterday.... its pretty big. A little too massive! In relation to bacon butties. Fry up the bacon on the grill first for 3-5mins, Then rub down the grill plates with kitchen towel to take away the fat. two slices of untoasted bread and a little cheese and salt and the bacon in the middle, 2/3 mins and you're done. Works great as a toased sandwich maker for any kind of ingredients obviously.The 20 euro 2/3 portion grills are fine for this btw. Gonne try a nice steak tomorrow seeing as I have all this room. One thing I will say against it is that there is no auto switch-off/timer. My last one had that and was very handy.

    Tme to upgrade my GF, after 8 years the teflon is flaking off, the top tip latches have snapped off, but i love it, its the most used thing in my kitchen after the kettle!

    Try the bacon butty without wiping the grill plates before putting the bread on...yum!
