George Foreman Grill And Waffle Maker Review

Welcome to my review of the very popular George Foreman 2 in 1 Grill and Waffle maker.

We do love versatile appliances and finding something that you can use for cooking multiple dishes has been exciting.

This grill and waffle maker caught our attention because of the excellent customer reviews on Amazon. Usually, these multitaskers don’t get a lot of praises except this versatile grill.

Three features have caught our eye

1. The gorgeous red color. (perfect for our kitchen)
2. The plates are removable and easy to clean.
3. The digital control panel system with a timer and adjustable temperature control.

Let’s talk about this versatile and high-quality appliance in more detail. What are the features, how does it work and what are the benefits and flaws.

Imagine that, waking up in the morning, put your bacon on the preheated grill, make some omelets in three different styles (plates sold separately), get the waffle batter ready while you are waiting and, e voila, breakfast is ready in no time. The delicious smell surely will wake up the most notorious sleeper.

The best part: you only have to use one appliance with easy to remove plates. On top of that, the plates are dishwasher safe; so no hard work required.

What Is Included In The Price

The George Foreman is moderately priced.

You can use it as a panini press, a grill and as mentioned before as a waffle maker. The cooking surface is 11″ x 8″; the whole appliance, including handles and drip tray, measures 12″ x 14″.

The grill plates have a ceramic cooking surface, and the waffle plates are made of Teflon.

[Are you looking for a waffle iron without Teflon? Be sure to check out my post here.]

You can adjust the cooking plate at an angle so that all the cooking fat can be drained into the drip tray. That is a fantastic feature for healthy cooking.

If you want to make waffles, simply put the cooking plate back to flat.

The digital control panel lets you adjust the temperature from 325º to 450ºF. The special searing button will heat up the grill to 500ºF for 90 seconds and then goes back to your chosen temperature.

What Do Customers Say About The Quality Of The Waffles

Since this site is all about waffle makers, our primary focus is on the waffles. Most customers are pleased with the consistency and quality of the waffles.

The waffles are not as thick as Belgian waffles and not as thin as Classic waffles; it’s somewhere in between.

The preheating time is quite long with nearly ten minutes. The waffles cook for roughly five minutes, sometimes even a bit longer.

Some customers have found that the waffle maker doesn’t heat consistently. Therefore, it can result in unevenly cooked waffles.

Overall, most consumers were satisfied with the results.

Our Verdict

There are a few flaws that come with it but in our eyes are no major deal breakers. The three-year limited warranty has you covered.
