Question

1. Can I cook frozen food on my George Foreman Grill?

4. How can I cook hot dogs on my George Foreman Grill?

6. Any other cooking suggestions?

Response

Yes, but of course the cooking time will be longer. And it is preferable that food be defrosted before placing on the George Foreman Grill. Please refer to the Suggested Cooking Chart in this manual for examples.

Yes. In order to protect the non-stick surface use wooden skewers. We recommend that you soak the skewers first in water for about 20 minutes. This will keep the skewers from burning.

After cleaning your George Foreman Grill according to the "User Maintenance Instructions" make a paste of baking soda and water and spread on the surface of the Grill. Allow it to sit for a few minutes and then wipe away with a damp sponge or cloth.

Preheat your Grill for 5-minutes. Place the hot dogs lengthwise on the Grill. Close the Lid and cook for 2-1/2 minutes or until desired browning is achieved.

Yes, self-browning hash browns can be prepared by preheating the Grill for 5 minutes. Add hash browns onto the Grill surface, close the Lid, and cook for approximately half the time stated on the package for oven preparation.

Fresh peppers can be grilled for 2-3 minutes for skinning purposes.

Grilled cheese sandwiches can also be cooked on your George Foreman Grill.
