It gets hot quickly and stays on until you turn it off. There's no "time out" or heat control - keep it simple!
It's a griddle more than a grill.
I've only done cheese & ham toasties so far but it (medium) is large enough to cook even the largest steak, mushrooms, onions all at once.
The "dislocated" lid is really handy. It will lay flat on the top of the thing you are cooking, regardless of how thick the thing is. Both sides get equal heat compared to a simple jaw type grill.
If doing a single toastie then put it in the middle - if you put it left or right the dislocated lid will tilt and press against the hot base. Maybe not an issue but I'd rather the two hot plates didn't touch each other.
Easy to clean. I let it cool before cleaning and the melted cheese came off easily.
The only thing to grumble about (and it's a tiny grumble) are those small bumps running across the front of the base. They prevent me simply sliding my toastie out into my hand. I need to lift it out with a plastic spatula. I tried fingers and it's just not worth the "ouch" because those plates are hot!
Those bumps might prevent food sliding out though if you use the rear foot to tilt the thing up, for draining juices into the drip tray.
The heat is spot on. Not so hot that it frazzles the outside before the inside is cooked.
I haven't timed my toastie but it's not much different from my Breville "Classique" toastie maker.
That was a pain to clean - too many narrow gulleys for food detritus to end up in. This George Foreman is far easier to clean. Easy snack, easy maintenance.
I remember my parents making cheese toasties in the oven. Took 15 minutes to heat up, had to flip the bread to cook both sides, then remove, add cheese, put back into oven. Lord knows how much time and electricity that consumed for such a simple pleasure.
The manual has a whole bunch of cooking time suggestions for different things.
This thing can't do chips, but heck steak on this and microwaved baby potatoes and my big old inefficient oven will be a redundant dinosaur!
You can't sustain a family of 6 on this, but for a couple or us singles it really does make for efficient convenient cooking.
