Default foreman grill (but without grill markings?)

i'm thinking of gettinig a big foreman grill. but i heard it leaves
grill marks(burnt lines?), they must be unhealthy. is there a way
around this?

i want to grill - preferably draining te fat, I don't want to fry.

thanks

You may want to consider a Wolf Puck panini grill instead. With it you can
use 3 different sets of removable teflon plates - flat, waffle or grilling.
I used a GF for several years and it does a good job with burgers and
average size foods, but the panini is a lot more versatile.

Perhaps you should just boil all of your meat, you ****ing dork.

looking at this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...keTra ck=true

would that put burn marks on the burgers. - are the plates like bars
that press against the burgers and burn stripes onto them?

Are you concerned about chemicals from the grill in the burn marks, or are
you just concerned about the burn marks?

Just some fool that thinks the brown on cooked food is somehow hazardous.
They should just buy a big pot and boil all their food. I see they are from
the UK. Isn't boiling a big part of british cooking?

chemicals from the grill? it's electric, hot metal bars, i didnt' know
there was an issue there. My concern is that i don't want to eat
burnt bits. That is unhealthy.

I also want speed of course, hence my consideration of such devices

hazardous brown marks? maybe you shit on your food, wouldn't suprise
me. I didn't mention anything about BROWN marks.

Cooked food is often a bit brown, that is not hazardous.

I talked about burn marks - they are BLACK. And they are unhealthy.

Hazardous and unhealthy are not equivalent terms.

Maybe if you were born and bred in britain you'd be more polite and
have a better grasp of the english language .

Do what the rest of us try to do to avoid this:

DON'T BURN YOUR FOOD

Well, it does look like a big Weber, but it's actually a Foreman
electric grill. I like charcoal much better but electric is a lot
easier to clean up after when you're done.

Hmmmm. 'Gator, I was thinking of something else then... the Foreman
grills they advertise here are those small (table-top) thingys that
come in two sizes, large and small. (Remind me of half-sandwich-toaster
thingys). Haven't seen one that looks like a Weber.. oh well, that's
what you get for living out in the sticks, I suppose!! Probably don't
bother to import those models here or something.

Also, dunno if electric is a lot easier to clean... our "braais", Weber
or not, are usually used with charcoal.. the fat all drips into the
ashes and you just chuck it away, take a hose and wash it down... the
grill part is loose, so u can take that to the nearest sink/tap or
whatever and wash that too... Have to be careful with electric stuff,
water in the works, and all that... oh well, each one to his own!
Cheers
Cathy

Yes ma'am we have one of the little ones too. Great for cooking a
couple of chicken breasts or burgers. But this one I'm talking about
is huge - I didn't even know they made something like that, my wife
just brought it home one day. I rolled my eyes and thought, great -
another useless gadget. But it really does come in handy. You can
take it off the stand and use it as a counter-top grill, too. I'll
head out to the barn here in a little bit and measure it - it may not
be quite as big as I think.

I don't ilke the idea of putting silver foil under the hot bars. silver
foil does give off a black smoke if you light it.

i'ev just been reading about thesee non-stick coatings being dangerous.
not just teflon. Food cooked with a nonstick coating can kill birds!

So I might get this

a nice portable grill. no 'non stick'. - and no grill lines
either!
the price is hefty but considering its purpose, and health
considerations, it's good.

It sounds like you want to live long enough to make your kids change
your diapers.
