I've had my George foreman grill for several months, and have happily used
it three to four times a week.  Very satisfied with it except for the
inconvenience of cleanup.

Then a week or 10 days ago  there was a thread here about the Hamilton Beach
grill that boasts grill plates that are removable for easy washing as well
as a timer.  Well, I saw a "Hamilton Beach 25285 Meal Maker Express" on
Ebay, bid, and won the auction -- not bad,  $21.80  and it retails for about
$57!

Anyway, the HB grill came today.  I had been planning on grilling a couple
of chicken breasts this evening, so I unpacked it, washed it and fired it
up, and grilled my chicken!

Which grill do I think is better?  No simple answer.  There is absolutely no
question that the Hamilton Beach cleanup was a dream.  I easily popped out
the grills and they wiped clean in soapy water with no scrubbing, vs. the
engineering project that I usually go through with the non-immersible George
Foreman to get it clean.  However, I was disappointed with the cooking
quality of the HB.  It did not get as hot, or cook nearly as evenly as the
GF.  The chicken cooked thoroughly on the bottome before the top was done; I
had to take the chicken out, flip it, and cook it longer.  This made the
built-in timer feature pretty moot, since the chicken was not cooked
thoroughly when the timer went off. (I had preheated it 5 minutes as per
instructions, and cooked the chicken the recommended length of time).

On the Foreman grill, the top grate is very heavy and "floats to adjust to
the thickness of the food being cooked," while the Hamilton Beach has just
two positions.  My chicken breasts were thick, and the top grill was not
heavy enough or at the right angle for even cooking.

Overall, I guess I give the Hamilton Beach a slight edge over the Foreman.
I don't usually cook meat as thick as I did tonight (2 lb of chicken
breasts), and I think it's probably perfectly fine for cooking thinner
portions evenly.  Also, as long as I know that it doesn't get as hot at the
George Foreman Grill, I can adjust the cooking time accordingly.  I stored
the Foreman and left the HB on the counter.  The fast 'n easy cleanup was
the deciding factor; in fact, cleanup was so wonderful that I've built a
small altar and lit candles around the unit.  (not really, <g>).

BTW, the chicken breasts ended up very tasty; I decided to turn them into
chicken salad (I'm on this chicken salad kick).  I cut the chicken into
cubes, and chopped up and threw in what was in the fridge -- today it was
cucumbers, olives and celery, plus a tad of black pepper, oregano and dry
onion flakes.  Add Dukes mayonnaise, and OMG was it good!  Low Carb heaven!
And plenty left for tomorrow  :)
