Poll of the Day > Do you or have you owned a foreman grill

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have three. I have a regular one, a travel sized one, and a back up regular sized one. I tend to find them at Goodwill's all the time, and I eat a lot of grilled chicken since I enjoy lifting and playing sports.

Honestly George should have named at least one of his Georges BADoglick. RIP

my parents had the mean lean fat reducing grilling machine

The closest I've ever come was my family used to own an old-school panini press. Something like this:

I have absolutely no idea what ever happened to it. I assume my parents either threw it away or gave it away at some point.

Used to

Worked surprisingly well actually

I think the hinge broke, never replaced it

Anyway, got an airfryer now

I used to have one years ago but I barely used it. It was a present that I didnt really have a need for.

It's been nearly 15 years since I've used one.

My parents had knock-off brands. I never used anything like that though, closest was a panini press.

I use mine regularly when I have meat - but I haven't had meat in a long time

it works really good

'I have never owned one'

This is from someone who once joked that houses should be cheaper for people who were never going to use their kitchen anyway.

Not that I know of.

It's funny - a while back it became a thing in real estate that houses with dining rooms were becoming less desirable because we as a culture were slowly phasing out the idea of eating shared meals in a specific formal setting in favor of just eating off a coffee table in front of the TV or something similar. So people didn't want to pay for a room they were never going to use.

Maybe we'll eventually reach a point where we start to phase out kitchens entirely because no one wants to cook, with more emphasis put on getting takeout or using delivery order services. Or just settling for a hot plate and a microwave to do the majority of your cooking (possibly even a "kitchenette" space, the way some hotels have).

Isaac Asimov actually wrote about a similar concept back in his robot novels in the 1950's - he basically had humans living in hivelike megacities, with individual apartments but communal kitchens shared by multiple apartments/families (sort of like how some college dorms work). Basically imagine an apartment building where everyone gets their own bedroom, but their "living room" space is a shared common room, and their kitchen/dining area is a shared kitchen or cafeteria space.

Yeah, we had one in our first apartment that we used a decent amount. One of the most satisfying burgers I've ever had was taking a pound of ground beef directly out of the package and slapping it directly in the foreman and squishing it down.

Used to have one and thinking of buying one again.

If ever a celebrity makes a kitchen product, it is always a scam.

Never owned but did play. Think I was able to only beat the first two boxers in the end.

Had to look up what a Foreman Grill is precisely. Never owned one, but have had something similar I believe.

Never owned one but kind of want one...

it's basically a griddle on a slope; great for anything you want to drain and useless for anything else. Like, it makes bacon like magic, but you can't do an egg on it.

Bro!!!!! The Genesis version was the very first game I ever owned. Idk if it was really hard or if I just sucked at it but I don't think I ever made it past the few round or two

I always liked the steaks it cooked.

You wouldn't say that if you'd ever seen the HULK HOGAN THUNDER MIXER:
