Normally I tend to confine my reviews to items of the literary kind, but as I can't really be bothered with another book review at the moment (and because I bought this grill from Amazon recently) I thought I'd turn my critical eye on the Big George.
This is my first real experience with health grills, and overall I'd have to say I'm quite impressed. The grilling area heats up quickly and is big enough to fit plenty of burgers on, making it a handy backup if you've invited all your friends over for a BBQ but the weather isn't cooperating. The unit feels solid and durable, though the temperature control seems unusually delicate, as if it doesn't really do anything. The controls are simple and easy to use, even if the timer is rather superfluous since grilling meat is more a matter of judgement than following strict timetables.
On the downside, it's a bit of a pain to clean after use even with the scraping tool supplied, but I suppose that gripe applies to any grill of this kind.
Apart from that... well, it's a grill - what do you want me to say? If you're one of those people who delights in examining the dripping tray to see how much grease they've prevented from clogging their arteries, you'll love it. If you enjoy well cooked food that's relatively healthy, then it's pretty good for you too.
Recommended.
 Fast bacon sandwiches for the weekend April 2, 2007

We bought this as our cooker grill is hopelessly slow cooking and a pain to clean.
For quick bacon butties, preheat for a few minutes, put your bacon in (GR30 will take 8 rashers), 9 minutes later bacon is ready. In fact, most unfrozen foods cook in around 10 mins as a rough guide.
Wipe down grill with a damp sponge/cloth while still warm so that nothing has a chance to stick.
Common sense dictates keeping it clear of kids and accident prone friends as its very hot. But then so is your hob.
Easy. A great time saver and well recommended.
A FANTASTIC BUY September 29, 2005

I have been very happy with this purchase. I was originally going to buy the juniour grill version but it was worth paying that little extra for the big george. The big grill allows you to grill 2 medium sized chicken breasts as well as vegetables and fruits all at the same time. An option you would not have with the junior version. The machine is easy to use and I was surprised to see how many items of food were appropriate for grilling. Try grilling apple slices, Delicious. And for the health concious, you can visually see the fat flowing off certain foods. The item is also fairly easy to clean. All in all a fantastic buy.
Excellent grilled food - FAST! June 12, 2005

I was initially reluctant to buy this grill, because of the cost. However, it was honestly one of the best purchases I've made in a long time!This grill gets 5-stars from me for various reasons:
- the ease of use, with the self timer shutting it off when food is cooked and really easy (2mins) cleaning.
- The perfection with which it cooks my food - be it grilled steaks and pork chops, fish, saussages for bfast, toasted sandwiches with melted cheese (Mmmmmm..), grilled vegetables!! you name it, it cooks it. Just defrost the meat, sprinkle some spices on it, put it in George and 5mins later - voila! your meal is ready!
- And best of all, it's really fast! No more than 5-6 mins (defrosted) for any type of meat. I honestly have used this grill for EVERY SINGLE DAY since I bought it 2 months ago, sometimes 3 times a day (bfast, lunch, dinner). It's really easy to make tasty food fast, and my friends all enjoy coming over for dinner all of a sudden! ;-) No hesitation! BUY IT! I'm actually considering buying one for my parents as a gift...
much quicker and easier to clean than the grill January 11, 2005

This item is a godsend in the kitchen. Burgers and Steak take less than 15 minutes and there is no need to stand over them to watch if they burn.
Both sides are cooked evenly and the fat just drains away. As the fat is drained into a small platic tray, that is most of the mess that needs cleaning - a damp cloth will get rid of the rest of the mess. EASY!
