George Foreman Grill!

My girlfriend got me one of these baby's for my birthday. She knows that I can't cook but love to grill. I was sick today but once that wears off I'm usually starving, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

I think I'm in love.

I can't have a grill in my apartment, so this works as a great substitute. The grilling area is a bit small, but it's usually just me so that's fine. It cooked my chicken skewers to perfection without any turning and cleanup is a breeze, thanks to the nonstick surfaces. I also think it's kind of cool to see all the grease that drips out during the cooking process.

I have two beefs. First is that along with the grease, juices from the meat seem to drip out a bit. The meat is still juicy, but not as much as it would be on a conventional grill. And man does this thing get hot! Without thinking I went to move it and am now nursing a burn on my finger because of it.

All the same, I think this thing is going to see more use than my stove. I can't wait to try making sandwiches in it!
