The George Foreman 4-Serving Grill and Panini Press is a versatile tool for quick meals, featuring a floating hinge that adjusts to the thickness of your food. This allows it to handle both thin sandwiches and thicker cuts of meat without crushing them. The removable grill plates are finished with a "George Tough" non-stick coating and are designed to be dishwasher safe for easier cleanup.
The unit uses a phenolic resin housing for heat resistance and die-cast aluminum plates for fast heat transfer. A separate drip tray is included to catch grease as it drains from the sloped plates. To help maintain the non-stick coating, it is best to avoid preheating the unit "dry" for more than five minutes and to use silicone or wooden utensils instead of metal.
The compact design makes it easy to store in a cabinet when not in use. The 3-prong grounded power cord is short for safety, keeping it close to the counter wall. While the hinge is built for flexibility, using moderate pressure when closing the lid will help support the long-term durability of the mechanism.
For a model that offers a larger 6-serving capacity and fixed plates for those who prefer fewer removable parts, the Hamilton Beach 6-Serving Grill is a sturdy choice.
This classic press remains a popular staple in our indoor smokeless grills department.
