Ever use a George Foreman for cooking a fry?

    Having a fry this morning, pan needs a wash and I'm outta liquid. Don't want to leave house to get some as I'm expecting a parcel in the post. So I'm considering using the George Foreman grill for cooking rashers (Galtee thick), pudding (Rudd's roulade of black/white) and sausages (M&S Irish)

    Anyone had any experience of using one for this purposes? Time necessary etc?

    make sure after you fryed it all and dished it into a plate, empty the greece/fat collector on the front of the foreman onto the fry, otherwise it'l be pretty much tasteless.

    if its a steak, i might poor a little of the greese back on, the only thing with the george forman is it does dry the food out a little to much

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

    If the Frying pan is out of commission, here's what you do:

    Find the nearest saucepan.

    Fill 3/4 full with oil.

    Turn on heat.

    Drop sausages/rashers/pudding/mars bars in and enjoy.

    None of your namby-pamby George Forman nonsense.

    Firstly you should change the title to has your wimmin......

    Secondly what's this about you cooking and cleaning ? Wandered into the wrong forum ? You might be more at home here

    DO NOT use the George Forman, it sucks all the fat out of the food and leaves you with tasteless muck.

    Nana Billy reliably informs me that when she was a nipper - the frying pan got washed once a week. The lard & all the crusty bits & pieces were left in after each use only to be cleaned on a Saturday night to have it fresh for Sunday Breakfast.

    According to Nana Billy - the nicest, most flavoursome meal of the week was the steak they had on a Saturday evening before the pan was washed. The lard held the flavour of the rashers, sausages, kidneys & liver that had been fried up during the week.

    georgie's grill takes most of the fat out of the food which is fine for low fat food anyway, but the good stuff - namely sausages and rashers dont taste anywhere near as good done on georgies machine.

    and as someone quite rightly pointed out, its a nightmare to clean!!

    I've been told that while the George Foreman is still warm you should drench two sheets of kitchen towel with water and place them on the grill. Shut the lid and wait a minute or two, then lift the lid, remove the kitchen towel and wipe clean with a cloth.

    As I said, I've been told that's what you do...obviously I wouldn't know loike!

    It doesn't really, just be sure to clean it when it is still hot or the grease won't come off.
    One of those sponge things dipped in fairy liquid water will do it.

    You're new around here, I'd read the proto-charter and a few of the other threads if I were you.


    Now less of the cleaning tips I thought we weren't going to discuss wimmins troubles here anymore :mad:

    The whole idea of a George Foreman is to get rid of the fat, and to be honest that just sounds rank.

    The clue is in the name. It's called a fry because you fry it. End of story.

    Lads we really have to reclaim this forum.
    Just because you have little ski jump boobs does not make you wimmin.
    Get out of the feckin' kitchen and into the lazyboy and bark orders at herself like a man.
