Indoor Grills

Do any of you use an indoor grill. I have a George Foreman and Cuisinart Griddler. They are great for making sandwiches, steaks, chops, and hamburgers.
 
I have a George Foreman grill

I have a George Foreman grill - the smallest one. The grill pan cannot be dismantled, so I am not sure how I should be cleaning it if I grill stuff like chicken or fish.

Any advice?
 
I have 2 George Forman grills - and as far as cleaning - hot soapy dish cloth and the food particles come right off - rinse several times with a clean and non-soapy dish cloth. For tough baked on particles I use a few paper towels (wet them well) and place them on the grill and close for a few minutes - cleans right up.

I also have a couple different electric grills for grilling indoors - clean as you would a regular grill rack.
 
I have an electric one; I forget the brand. It's basically a heavy ceramic bown with an element in it and a grill rack over it. I use it fairly often; it's great for grilling small amounts for just 2 people and for when the weather is bad and you can't grill outside.
 
I grilled chicken wings once (using my small George Foreman grill) and my whole living / dining room smelled of chicken the whole night LOL!

I think I'll stick with grilling fish, vegetables and bread instead.

Hi Mama Mangia, thanks for the cleaning tips.
 
I have a family-size George Foreman grill. I use it all the time. Especially since I don't have an outside grill.
 
I do have to say that I don't recommend the use of these grills for very greasy food. Once I tried to grill some cheap hamburgers on it and the smoke was EVERYWHERE!

Of course it was my husbands birthday and we had invited the parents and in laws over so both moms got to see my disaster. Fun times.
 
Bread

I wasnt aware you could grill bread in them...or at least never thought about it...do you use it for paninis?:confused:
 
ohhh!!! Grilled Cheese?

I never ever thought of using it for grilled cheese. what a great idea....I bet that would be an easy way for my kids to make an after school snack!
 
I LOVE my George Foreman. I made two New Year's Entrees there in, like, less than an hour!
 
I have a really big George Foreman that I used to use more, but it's one of the older ones where the plates don't come out and it's a pain to clean. Mostly now, I only pull it out if I'm making a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches.
 
tcinsa - I have a couple G.F. grills including the big one - and I use it for so much. An easy way to clean is to really wet a couple paper towels and lay them on the grill - close the top. Remember to leave the "catch cup" under it to catch the water and yucky stuff that will come off. It's just like soaking a pan for washing and it will clean up easy for you.
 
I've never tried that, mama, but it sounds like it would work great. I liked the fact that my boys could make different things quickly for themselves but they regularly "forgot" to clean the grill when done. I'll bet even they would do the paper towel thing! Thanks.
 
I have a Hamilton Beach Indoor/Outdoor grill, I like it very much because it's easy to clean (fit to my dishwasher) and I used to add some water in the bottom tray, so I will not have smoke everywhere.
 
I have two George Foreman grills now, the original small one and now a bigger one that the grilling plates come off for cleaning. Lots of steam comes out from them, but never had them smoke since they are at an angle and excess grease just pours off. I also have a small 'Bistro' indoor BBQ grill that I occasionally grill veggies on instead of going outside and firing up the big one. Love my grills
 
I've got a couple indoor (electric) grills - gotta living in the snowbelt! I'm used to indoor grilling. Pain to clean unless I line completely with foil to help with the clean-up - but they do a great job and I love them. One has the rostisserie as well. Nice weather I can plug them into the deck outside and enjoy them as well.
 
I have the cuisinart griddler.

I have a 2 sided grill that sits over the burners of my stove. I make everything on it. If I want to make pressed sandwiches, I heat my cast iron skillet up and just set it on what I'm cooking on the grill.
I'm to impatient to do only a couple pancakes or burgers at a time. I'd rather do 8 at a time and not worry about keeping everything warm in the oven while doing the rest. I also have an electric griddle but find the one that sits on the stove more convenient. The electric griddle, the George Foreman Grill, the Fry Daddy and an assortment of other gifts given to me through the years as gifts all sit in the pantry collecting dust.
