There'll be a mess if you do!! just put some cheese on the burgers, the residual heat will melt it. Or shove them under a normal grill for a couple of minutes.

When I've done burgers on mine, I usually just put the cheese slice on top of the cooked burger...when I put them on the warm tasted bun, heat from the 2 is enough to melt the cheese a little.

Enjoy

So I gave the GF to my son who was moving into a flat, but the AWT grill plates soon deteriorated with getting put in the dishwasher & sadly packed up altogether not long after.

We now have another GF grill, I always wipe the grill plates with a little oil/marg before cooking anything, wipe off most residue with kitchen paper, then more or less perch it over the washing up bowl & rinse off with soapy water.

My conclusion is best using one without the removable plates. If you are watching the weight...they're great”

I did the same as you (except gave my original GF to my mum) but I hated the AWT version - no tilt so the fat didn't run down unless there was alot of it, and the non stick on the plates wore off really fast in the dishwasher - stopped using it in the end which is a shame as I used my GF for practically everything. Just bought a GF G5 next grilleration which has the removable plates to go in the dishwasher and can't fault it - I'm back to using it pretty much every day!

Aldi have one in today £13 with the removable plates. Not George Foreman, but Delta Electronics were so proud of it, they put there name on it instead

I was really tempted, Do they make nice aubergine?

Just wanted to say,.. yum! first use went well

the burgers were really juicy, and the sausages were lovely.

I thought as the fat had been running out it would not be as tasty and perhaps bit dry.. so far very pleased and surprised

thanks for all your interest and advice

I asked this question on another grill thread but got no answers, but does anyone know if boned chicken quarters or legs can be cooked properly on the George grill?
