Frequently Asked Questions
Question
1. Can I cook frozen food on
my George Foreman Grill?
2. Can I cook kabobs on the
George Foreman Grill?
3. After cooking with garlic,
how can I remove the smell
of the garlic from the surface of my George Foreman
Grill?
4. How can I cook hot dogs
on my George Foreman
Grill?
5. Can hash browns be prepared on my George
Foreman Grill?
Response
It is preferable that food be defrosted before
placing on the George Foreman Grill. Make
sure that the Grill is preheated, see preheat
instructions, before placing food on the grilling
plate.
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
remove and wash according to "User
Maintenance Instructions."
Preheat your Grill for 7 minutes. Place the hot
dogs lengthwise on the Grill. Close the Lid and
cook for 6 minutes or until desired browning is
achieved.
Yes, self-browning hash browns can be prepared by preheating the Grill for 7 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.
6. Any other cooking suggestions?
Brush green peppers with oil and slit on edges
to flatten. Grill for 10 minutes then steam in a
bag for 10 minutes before peeling.
Grilled cheese sandwiches can also be
cooked on your George Foreman Grill.
