Get a regular grill like a webster or something. I have a George Forman grill (I can't believe I havn't given it away yet) and it sucks.

It basically just heats up a patty, while draining all the juices the make burgers great. worst invention evar.

That's strange, because every piece of meat (hamburgers, small pork roasts, chicken, etc) that I've cooked on mine has come out perfect and not dry at all.

they're pretty crappy, but if its all you've got, it works fine.

I should note that mine is at least a few years old, so an updated one might work better.

This. Also, right after you're done cooking, place a wet paper towel in between the grill plates and close the lid. After the water evaporates and the grill cools down the excess food on the plates will come right off.

I don't really think it is that great. Kind of hard to clean, bulky and was not really ideal for anything but making "melts" which any paninni press could do.
