Why Use a George Foreman for Grilling?

That means you can grill a perfect steak on a George Foreman from the comfort of your kitchen. No need to spend time heating the grill or standing out in the cold!
The plates are on a lean, so the fat and oils drain from the food with ease. A healthy alternative to frying in fats and oils. And you can still achieve the grill marks and classic bark crust.
