The debate rages on about barbecue, some believing the ingredients determine the flavor and others totally disagreeing. The latter group believes that different grills can create a different taste, even if the same ingredients are used. Sure, the ingredients are important, but the way you use them is really what what makes good barbecue.

If you try to impress friends who like good barbecue, you’d better know what your doing. It can take years of practice to get it down just right.

Sometimes you’re just not able to use your outdoor grill. One factor that can cause this is weather. Nobody wants to stand in the rain and grill steaks and the northern winters make it hard to keep the grill at the right temperature. But luckily there are a few options. One such appliance that makes grilling possible no matter what the weather happens to be is the George Foreman Grill.

Since it came out in 1994 this grill world over has sold more than 80 million units. Its fantastic success is because of its plain technique used in cooking and the convenience. Due to the fact that it can be used on the countertop, grilling at home can be done on a regular basis, which delights your family. The one feature that sets this grill apart from others is it encourages a healthier form of cooking. This grill is made in a way that makes the meat lose the fat by it dripping off of it, making for a more lean serving of meat, which is better for people when they are trying to watch their intake of fat and their cholesterol levels; similar to the gas grill you have outdoors.

The earliest design of the George Foreman Grill looked like a clamshell. It was an electric grill with not temperature control, which made it simple to operate…just plug it in. The grilling surface was coated in Teflon which prevented the meat from sticking and it also sloped downward to allow the fat to runoff into a plastic tray. Later models introduced removable plates to make clean up a great deal easier.

There was nothing quite like it went it was introduced to the world, and there was nothing quite like the marketing either. The maker of the grill, Salton, Inc., partnered with the ex-boxing champ, George Foreman. This turned out to be a very profitable venture for both parties, watching more and more dollars roll in each time a new model was released. The catch phrase “Knock Out The Fat” was memorable, but it also sent a message that this product promoted healthy eating…and there are many testimonials supporting that message.

Through the years this George Foreman Grill accomplished launching different offshoots from the first version of the grill and made many models that are not for use in the outdoors, along with blenders and broilers. The success has been phenomenal and has set the standard for easy, healthy grilling.

But one thing to note here, is the fact you will not have that smokey type grill flavor that you receive through using a good charcoal or gas outdoor grill.
