George Foreman 'Junior' Clear Lid Grill

Operation is simple; plug it in and switch it on at the plug socket. The heat indicator light will then go out when it is ready to use. The Junior Grill has enough room to cook two good-sized quarter-pounder burgers or about four regular burgers with a bit of room in two of the corners. The grill also features a rather handy bun warmer that is accessed by lifting up the clear plastic cover on the lid of the grill. There's enough room in the bread warmer to squeeze in two burger buns cut in half.

If you're not too concerned about the amount of fat you intake from conventionally grilled foods, the George Foreman grill will change this: for example, the amount of fatty liquid collected in the drip tray from two quarter-pounder burgers with 92% meat content is unbelievable. And even though a large quantity of liquid is collected in the tray, burgers remain tasty and not at all dry.

The included grooved spatulas make it easy to remove the food from the grill as they fit perfectly between the grooves on the grill. A new addition to the grill is a set of removable extension feet that raise the grilling machine a further half an inch from the work surface enabling foods such as tacos or pitta bread to be placed at the front for easy transfer of any grilled fillings.

Cleaning the grill is a bit more time consuming than cleaning a grill pan as you can't simply dunk it in a bowl of soapy water and attack it with a scouring pad. That said it does have a non-stick coating so you simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or kitchen paper.

The George Foreman Junior Grill is a must have for anyone who uses a grill on a regular basis as it will cut down on your fat intake instantly without you needing to cut out your favourite grilled foods. Although the grill isn't that big, a smaller Baby version is also available. --Ben Curtis

The 'bun warmer' on the top is a nice little touch, and you can use it to do a fair few other things. The only problem you will have with this grill is throwing away all the fat that comes out of the food you cook, and that's only because the fat doesn't look nice!

Overall this grill is great value, it is big enough to cook pretty much anything you want for one or two people, but it isn't so big that you are heating up a huge space with nothing in it, so you save money on the electricity bill. Food wise, the taste is great, and the food comes out looking good too. I'm off to cook myself something on mine now!
