Since the first creation of the George Foreman grills we have witness many advances and changes in designs always in an effort to make these grills better and more reliable for the users. Each grill had specific features that placed it in a class of its own. Each had merit that enabled it to stand on its own in any sort of competition.
With the great amount of use that most people place on their George Foreman grills they eventually wear out and must be replaced. In that case you may wish to consider purchasing one of the new G5 grills. Several features that make this grill particularly attractive is the fact that it has removable grill plates and can readily cook various types of foods such as pancakes and waffles.
The G5 grill is slightly larger then most of the Foreman series sitting at approximately 8 inches by 10 inches and with the handles you can extend the size several additional inches. It comes in red and black only so don't expect to see an abundance of designer colors to spice up your kitchen area.
As we all know the original George Foreman grills were designed strictly for grilling meats and an occasional vegetable or two. The G5 however has 5 different heating plates. These plates are the grilling plate, baking plate, steak plate, and several waffle plates. The plates all have black plastic release handles on both sides which are merely depressed and hook carefully into the grill prior to turning it on. To ensure that the plates are placed on the grill properly each of them are stamped on the underside with "upper" or "lower" annotations. This prevents placing the wrong plate on the wrong location.
When you prepare to cook your meal make certain that you install the plates that you will require before you turn on the grill as the plates will become extremely hot and will not be able to be changed again until the unit is shut off and cools down. There is a lock Lever at the right hand bottom which must be set in the proper position. The lever makes the bottom surface level in order to cook items such as pancakes. In the other position it will tilt the grill slightly to allow grease to flow down and away from your grilled food. The grease is caught in the enclosed drip tray that is placed beneath the unit to prevent grease from getting onto your counter top.
