My roommate fancied himself a geat Foreman grill chef. He used to make porkchops and stuff all the time on it.
I pretty much only used it when I was drunk for quick grilled cheese or frozen hamburgers. Not bad for a quick meal.
Get one with the removable plates, otherwise it's a huge pain to clean. With the removable plates you can just take them off, give them a wipe and toss them in the dishwasher.
I use mine more in the winter when I can't get outside to grill.

I love mine. It makes the best grilled cheese in the world! Everyone here is right about the cleaning thing though.
I agree with Navy, they definitely make fantastic grilled cheese sandwiches!

just don't forget to take the wrapper off the cheese first. My grandmother accidently did that once when I was a kid and now I have always feel the need to check before I take a bite.

I have this one (http://www.esalton.com/images/catalog/products/large/GRP99.jpg)...
it works great. has temperature control, and removeable plates. burgers, dogs, marinated chicken breasts, shrimp, veggies. I don't do steaks on them because the fat is where a steak gets all its flavor, and the whole point of the Foreman is to "knock out the fat".
never tried grilled cheese...i have a nice double burner griddle that I use instead, but i may have to give it a try.

I have a Weber BabyQ for everything. It's compact and works great.

LOL.. we just donated 2 Foreman grills to GoodWill. The only thing we ever had luck cooking on them were hot dogs.
Other than than, inconsistent hot spots made cooking an exercise in futility. And as everyone else has said, they're a royal pain to clean. Glad to have tossed them!

I'm a big fan of a good old fashioned hot iron. Set the steam on medium and you're good to go
