I love this grill!!
I heard a commercial for this about 3 or 4 times one evening and I finally paid attention after barely listening to it the first few times. Once I saw that it had interchangeable *dishwasher-safe* plates I told my husband that I wanted it for Christmas. I popped over here to amazon and ordered it right away. It got here before Christmas but since it was my gift I had to leave it alone until afterwards ;-)
A few things attracted me to the grill. Interchangeable plates dishwasher safe and the waffle plates. I had been looking for a new wafflemaker and in fact had looked at the store the night I saw the ad for the G5. The one we've had for 11+ years is too small for our family now and I wanted something bigger. However it seemed silly to spend a lot of money on one since I don't make them that often. Imagine how happy I was to see the size of the plates on the commercial!
Let me tell you I was not disappointed with my first waffle go-round a couple of days ago. It makes 2 waffles that are each just about the size of 2 typical square freezer waffles. That's what I'm talking about! I made up a batch of Bisquick waffle batter and set to cooking. It was trial and error as far as learning cooking times. I like my waffles softer my husband likes them crispier. I would say on average they needed to cook 5-7 minutes. I pre-heated the grill as directed and poured about 1.5 ladles of batter on each side. I didn't get them perfectly full each time but close enough you know? We ate them we liked them! I didn't have any issues with them cooking unevenly; each batch turned out just fine.
Yesterday my husband made grilled cheese using the steak plate and the baking tray (upper & lower). He tells me that he flipped it over so he'd have the same design on each side *insert rolly eyes here* but otherwise it cooked just fine.
Last night I made chocolate chip cookies using the recipe from the cookbook that came with the grill. So cool! They were virtually impossible to screw up! I did cook them longer than the recipe called for after the first batch; cooking times I think are are things that will have to be judged individually for each recipe. There are guidelines in the cookbook and the instruction manual but I don't think they're hard and fast. Experiment and see what works best for you :-)
This morning my husband was at it again this time making scrambled eggs. I didn't get any (he ate them all while I was asleep!) but he says that they cooked the eggs in about 1/3 of the time as our gas stove. He was pretty happy with that.
I was pleased with the 2 drip trays and the better spatulas (also 2) that came with the grill in addition to the cleaning sponge. I don't know how often I'll use the sponge since the plates clean so easily by hand (and once again they are dishwasher-safe!) but it's nice to have. I liked the other Foreman grills but cleaning them stopped me from using them as often as I might have otherwise. They were just kind of a pain; if you've used them you know what I mean.
Get this grill :-) If you have realistic expectations and are willing to experiment to get just the right cooking times then I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm not!More detail ...
