Top 10 George Foreman Grills
for December 2022

One of the simplest grills on the market, the George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill has just one button and no dials or controls. That's great for novice grillers, but less convenient for those looking for more precise temperature adjustments. The grill is also a bit heavy, so it's best used for flat surfaces, like your deck or a countertop. The grill is made of cast aluminum, and it's rated for 12 to 15 servings. The manufacturer says that it's dishwasher safe, but we found that cleaning it by hand was quicker and easier. The grill heats up quickly, but it takes a few minutes for it to start cooking, and the temperature stays fairly steady once it's cooking. The grill reaches high temperatures (over 600 degrees F), and you can easily sear steaks, burgers, and vegetables.

The George Foreman GRP4842MB Multi-Plate Evolve Grill is our current pick for the best digital grill. Its versatility, easy cleanup, and price tag make it appealing for everything from grilling to searing to making breakfast. The GRP4842MB is a digital grill with 24 pre-programmed settings, including options for full roasts, BBQ, meat, fish, poultry, pizza, and frozen desserts. The temperature control panel is large and easy to read, and the GRP4842MB provides 500F searing capability, as well as 300-425F heat settings, so you can cook a variety of foods. The plates are nonstick, so food doesn't stick, and it's easy to wipe them clean. The Evolve model has fewer buttons than previous models, so it's easier to use. The GRP4842MB also has better temperature control than our previous pick, the George Foreman LED Grill, which maxes out at 425F. The Evolve also cooks more evenly than our previous pick. Our only gripe is that the Foreman GRP4842MB is large and heavier than our other top pick, the George Foreman Grill & Griddle, so it's harder to carry.

The George Foreman GR10ABWI Champ Grill is our best-value grill, with 1,500 watts of power, 4 cooking plates, and 10 preset cooking settings. Its 18-inch grilling surface is large enough to cook up to 4 steaks at once, and its 10 preset cooking settings include everything from steak to chicken to fish. The grill's 4 cooking plates are removable and dishwasher-safe, and the grill's drip tray and spatula are also dishwasher-safe. The grill's temperature control is digital, with three settings for power, with 1,500 watts of power, 800 watts of power, and 700 watts of power, and 10 temperature settings for the grill, with 250, 350, 450, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, and 800 degrees. The grill's grill plates are made of porcelain coated steel, and the plates' nonstick surfaces prevent food from sticking to the grill. The grill's drip tray catches food juices and fats and makes them easy to remove. The grill's bun warmer is particularly nice, as it helps keep food warm while it's being grilled. The bun warmer has 4 settings: low, medium, high, and turbo, and is removable and dishwasher-safe. The grill's power cord and grill plate cleaning sponge are included, as are the grill's recipe book and recipe book DVD. The GR10ABWI's power cord is 6 feet long, and the grill's grill plate cleaning sponge is 3 inches in diameter. The grill's 1-year limited warranty is the longest warranty among any of the grills we tested.

The George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill and Panini Press has a sleek design and comes in many attractive colors. It's easy to use, heats up quickly and cooks food well. The menu is extensive, and there're plenty of preset settings to keep things simple. The grill's non-stick surface makes cleanup a breeze, and it's dishwasher safe. The nonstick coating is very durable, and we experienced no peeling or flaking after multiple uses. The George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill and Panini Press has a solid build and sturdy construction. The food holder and plates are sturdy, and the machine holds up well to repeated use. The plates are easy to remove and clean up, and the plates are dishwasher safe. The George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill and Panini Press has a solid temperature range of 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and this temperature range is about average for an electric grill. The George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill and Panini Press has the convenience of nonstick plates, but there are also plates made of cast iron available. The George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill and Panini Press has a 15-minute timer, which is a bit short, but the menu does allow you to set a timer for up to 30 minutes. The George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill and Panini Press has a second rack for pancakes or eggs. The George Foreman 9-Serving Basic Plate Electric Grill and Panini Press has 3 heat settings: High, Medium and Low.

The George Foreman Grill and Panini Press combines the healthfulness of grilled food with the ease of cooking in a frying pan. The removable plates make cleanup easy and the sloped grilling surface helps remove up to 42% of fat from foods, making it a good choice for low-fat cooking. The grill plates are also non-stick, so meats and vegetables cook quickly without sticking. We chose the George Foreman Grill and Panini Press because we liked that the plates are removable and dishwasher safe, and we liked that the plates are sloped, which helps remove fat from meats. We also liked that the grill plates are non-stick, which makes it easier to cook things like vegetables and fish. In addition, we liked that the George Foreman Grill and Panini Press has chrome-plated burners, which give it a professional look. We also liked that the George Foreman Grill and Panini Press has eight different cooking settings, including medium, high, and melt, all of which can be used to cook hamburgers, steaks, chicken, and other foods. Finally, we liked that the grill plates are removable and dishwasher safe, which makes it easy to clean up.

The George Foreman GRP472P is our first pick for a budget grill thats as versatile as a Foreman Grill from a few years ago. The removable plates are a big improvement over the older models, and after testing, we found that cleaning the drip tray and plates in the dishwasher is a simple task. The drip tray is rather small, so grease tends to build up over time, but removing the drip tray and thoroughly cleaning the grill plates (and the entire grill) before each use will help reduce grease buildup. The grill plates are non-stick, so cooking is quick and easy. Theyre also relatively non-stick, so food doesnt stick to the grill plates. Despite some complaints about the drip tray on the earlier models, the drip tray on the GRP472P is removable, and the grill plates are easy to clean, so grease buildup should be minimal. The grill plates have groves that help keep food from sliding around on the plates, and the grill plates have sides that deflect grease away from the food. The removable plates make cleanup simple, and the grill plates are dishwasher safe.

The George Foreman Evolve grill system is a remarkably good option for grilling steaks and other meats. The plates are ceramic, so cleanup is quick and easy, and the plates are large enough to cook a 2- to 4-pound steak or burger. The grill plates are nonstick, so there's no need to oil or butter the plates before cooking. The plates are dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is a snap. The plates get very hot, so it's important to use cooking gloves when handling them. The plates are well designed, and the cool-touch handles make it easier to clean them and remove them from the grill. The grill plates heat quickly, so you can get a nice sear on thick steaks and burgers. The plates do scratch easily, so it's a good idea to use grilling pads or utensils when handling them. The plates are removable, so you can cook without the grill plates if you prefer. The plates have removable rolls, which allow you to expand or contract the plates to accommodate thicker or thinner cuts of meat. The plates are tall and narrow, so they're best suited for grilling steaks and other large cuts of meat, not burgers. The plates can be a little tricky to align with the handles on the Evolve grill, so it's a good idea to lightly grease the plates before placing them on the grill. The plates are versatile, so they can be used on the Evolve grill, a George Foreman grill, or on any other grill. The plates are thin, so they don't add much weight when cooking, and they make the grill lightweight. The plates are reasonably priced, and you can get 4 grill plates for $30. The plates are solid, but they scratch easily, and they aren't as sturdy as other grill covers. The plates don't come with lid clips, so the grill lid won't stay closed, and the grill plates don't fit well on the Evolve grill. The grill plates are dishwasher safe, but they're not microwave-safe. The plates are relatively heavy, so they're not really portable.

If you want fast, tasty food, George Foreman's Classic Plate Grill is a smart choice. This model features a powerful 1500W heating element that cooks food quickly (about 5 minutes for burgers), and its cool-to-the-touch surface allows you to cook without worrying about burning yourself. The grill folds up for compact storage, and the cord wrap keeps it out of the way. The George Foreman Classic Plate Grill's slope design helps eliminate fat and grease as you cook, and the powerful 1500W heating element ensures that your food is cooked thoroughly. The grill also doubles as a stovetop, so you can use it to make stews, soup, and other dishes. The downside of the George Foreman Classic Plate Grill is that it's a bit bulky for a desk drawer, so you'll either need to store it elsewhere or hide it away. And because it's made of stainless steel, it's fairly heavy, so it could be hard to move.

The George Foreman GRP360R is a sturdy, powerful, and affordable grill and panini press. It grills up to 4 servings at once, which is a lot for a grill this size, and the removable plates make cleanup easier. The flip-down nonstick plates are easy to clean, and the grill heats quickly and evenly. The plates don't feel as durable as the Foreman 7-Serving Grill and Panini Press, and the grill is noticeably louder. The GRP360R is a versatile grill that cooks steaks, hamburgers, chicken, fish, and veggies very well. The grilltop also doubles as a panini press, and the plates are large enough for thick sandwiches. The George Foreman GRP360R Grill and Panini Press is an affordable, easy-to-use, and versatile grill and panini press. It's an excellent choice for anyone who wants to grill and quickly make sandwiches.

The George Foreman Rapid Grill Series 5-Serving Removable Plate Electric Indoor Grill and Panini Press, Black, RPGV3801BK is a sleek, modern-looking grill that packs a lot of cooking power into its relatively small frame. The removable plates are easy to remove and dishwasher-safe, and the plates are nonstick, so cleanup is a snap. The nonstick coating makes the grill surface somewhat difficult to clean, but there's a trick: heat the grill on high for about 10 seconds, then wipe it clean with a damp paper towel. The grill plates are relatively small, so they'll be able to handle only two 4- to 6-inch burgers at a time, but they'll still make quick work of cooking a 10- to 12-ounce steak. The grill plate has a nonstick coating, but it's fairly easy to scratch, so be sure not to overcook your meat. Also, the grill plates don't heat up as rapidly as other models we tested, so it takes more time to cook burgers and steaks. The grill plugs into a standard outlet, so there's no need to worry about batteries or recharging. The grill has digital controls, but there are no settings to adjust the temperature, so you'll have to set the temperature manually. The grill is very easy to use, and it's ready to go right out of the box.
