There's no "time out" or heat control - keep it simple!It's a griddle more than a grill.I've only done cheese & ham toasties so far but it (medium) is large enough to cook even the largest steak, mushrooms, onions all at once.The "dislocated" lid is really handy. It will lay flat on the top of the thing you are cooking, regardless of how thick the thing is. Both sides get equal heat compared to a simple jaw type grill.If doing a single toastie then put it in the middle - if you put it left or right the dislocated lid will tilt and press against the hot base. Maybe not an issue but I'd rather the two hot plates didn't touch each other.Easy to clean. I let it cool before cleaning and the melted cheese came off easily.The only thing to grumble about (and it's a tiny grumble) are those small bumps running across the front of the base. They prevent me simply sliding my toastie out into my hand. I need to lift it out with a plastic spatula. I tried fingers and it's just not worth the "ouch" because those plates are hot!Those bumps might prevent food sliding out though if you use the rear foot to tilt the thing up, for draining juices into the drip tray.The heat is spot on. Not so hot that it frazzles the outside before the inside is cooked.I haven't timed my toastie but it's not much different from my Breville "Classique" toastie maker.That was a pain to clean - too many narrow gulleys for food detritus to end up in. This George Foreman is far easier to clean. Easy snack, easy maintenance.I remember my parents making cheese toasties in the oven. Took 15 minutes to heat up, had to flip the bread to cook both sides, then remove, add cheese, put back into oven. Lord knows how much time and electricity that consumed for such a simple pleasure.The manual has a whole bunch of cooking time suggestions for different things.This thing can't do chips, but heck steak on this and microwaved baby potatoes and my big old inefficient oven will be a redundant dinosaur!You can't sustain a family of 6 on this, but for a couple or us singles it really does make for efficient convenient cooking.

Absolutely FABULOUS! We decided to go back to a GF Grill due to not really liking our Air Fryer that we bought last year. This grill really is good - easy to clean - and cooks all sorts of meat quickly and well without the need for oil. My only slight criticism is the drainer tray - it is a bit of a faff to slot in - best to do it before you switch the grill on - and then don't move the grill, as if you do the drainer tray pops out. Good price and a very quick delivery; we are delighted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost a great addition to kitchen gadgets... apart from one really annoying feature

I love this product for healthy, quick and convenient cooking. It cooks meat, fish and veg without the need for adding oil (if you choose not to). It is also easy to clean with the exception that some twit from the marketing department (I used to work in one myself) decided it would be a great idea to sear their brand logo on to your food. The word "George Foreman" is melded in to the upper grill plate and makes it a LOT harder to clean. I try to avoid using this part of the griddle, which makes that the available space to cook on far less. Without this feature it would have been a near perfect product! The other thing is my first order was faulty - the green 'ready to cook light' never came on, though Bolo make it easy to return products and never quibble. I regard this was unfortunate, but not really a problem given Bolo's good faith returns policy.

Amazing machine. Don't understand why I didn't get one earlier. Simplifies the mess of cooking so much. I just cooked my first steak in it. 1/4 of the effort compared to pan frying, 1/4 of the cleaning afterwards. And the result: As good as the best result when pan frying, which is a bit hit and miss. You just throw it in the preheated grill, takes 3 min for medium. Remove the steak. Remove the grease from the plates with a wet kitchen paper. Enjoy your steak. Afterwards, warm up the grill a bit and go over it with a wet sponge. Done. No big deal. Not having to clean the grease from the top of the stove, the tiles, wash the pan etc etc. Life simplified.
