I'd like to know how it compares to a panini grill. I often travel for work, weeks at a time, and I want to save money by cooking in my hotel room, rather than going out every night. Harsh comments- but funny. I'll defend the grill- it sat in my closet for years. After making chicken that was too dry, or greasy, I decided to try the old Foreman grill, and it came out perfect! Now all I have to do is put the chicken in there, throw some herbs on it set a timer, and in 7 minutes, it's perfect- every time! I'll make roasted garlic and olive oil, or low-fat sauces- I don't have to use any butter or oil, and it tastes just as good as cooking it on a stove. Other points- a foreman grill is great to use when you can't have a real grill, like in the city, and in the winter (both situations apply to me), and it uses less power than if I were to bake the chicken in an oven. And yes, it is juvenile, but the fact is that it works, and works pretty well! Also- "FancyChef" - nobody likes a snob.
