new George Foreman Grill GRP72CTTS with digital timer

(that’s me grilling a turkey patty on my new George Foreman grill)

A couple weeks ago, I bought a new George Foreman GRP72CTTS G-Broil Grill Supreme Electric Nonstick Countertop Grill with Digital Timer, Silver. As a grad student who’s also working, I don’t have much time to cook during the weekdays, and plus I figured I needed to start eating healthier–at least that’s my rationalization for spending $75 to get this. The nice thing about this particular Foreman grill is that it has a digital timer and auto-shutoff feature when the timer hits zero. Actually, it’s not auto-shutoff, but it switches to “ON”, which just keeps the grill warm.

I’ve not actually used a Foreman Grill before this. Since I started using it though, I’ve been grilling mostly turkey breast cutlets, turkey patties, salmon, shrimp, and veggies. Yes, that’s right. Grilled VEGGIES! Zucchinis and yellow squash with some pepper, garlic powder, and seasoned light are actually quite tasty. Someday when I’m in better shape, I’ll grill up some paninis, brats, grilled cheese melts, even kalbi and bulgogi. Mmm.

Cleanup is pretty easy, as long as you clean the grilling plates not long after you’re done grilling. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with my latest purchase (and will be even more satisfied if I can see results).
