I use the Foreman grill like a panini press, I push down on the lid while it's cooking and it makes fantastic sandwiches. I'm looking at buying a bigger one on Facebook Marketplace where you can get them for a fraction of what it cost new and they're almost unused because people buy them and never use them.

You have been identified all right but I doubt it's for the position you mentioned.

The hinge design on a Foreman style grill leads to very crushed flat sandwiches compared to the floating hinge on a good panini press.

The ridge pattern on the grill plates is likely to annoy someone.
I don't think I've seen an ideal appliance, but a lot of these gizmos seem to score almost a 3 on the Fast-Cheap-Good index.

I've never had a complaint about my Foreman grill. It's always done everything I've asked of it and it's just a cheap piece of junk I got on sale at Walmart 10 years ago for 10 bucks. I think they cost like 35 or 40 now.

Oh, surely. The shortcomings are not the usual uses of the device.

Particularly thick things don't get good simultaneous contact on both top and bottom, due to the hinge design.
When cooking meats, special care must be taken if a particular "crust" is desired, as the device has a tendency to trap steam near the food. This makes the crust soggy (not crispy) and does not promote browning.

Connoisseurs find problems with the thing.
Pragmatists, less so.
I'm reasonably sure a number of my ex's can only cook for themselves thanks to devices like these; they never really learned cookery, but can handle brushing soy sauce on a chicken breast and letting it sit between the hot griddle plates for 10 minutes.

I made a nice grilled three cheese on rye for dinner. The bread was grilled to golden perfection but for some reason the cheese was still solid and cold. I stuck it in microwave for 30 seconds and it was perfect.

I have never been able to make a great grilled cheese as either the cheese is not melted properly or the bread is over cooked. When i was starting to date my now wife, I went down to San Diego to stay with her for a long weekend. I was there on Friday but she was still at work so I offered to cook her dinner when she got home. She thought she was giving me an easy out as she requested grilled cheese and tomato soup. When she got home she busted out laughing as I had Googled and printed instructions for making a grilled cheese. To this day I still haven't made a good grilled cheese but fortunately she now doesn't ask me to cook too often.

I had to learn a few girlfriends ago. (She was a big fan of grilled cheese.)
The pan temperature should be quite low (burner setting 2 or 3 on the common scale, where my instinct was to set it at half scale), and the sandwich should get flipped at least 4 times (where instinct said 1).
There may be a faster technique, but this seems to produce very good results.

I flip mine thrice.
Unfortunately, only about a third of mine come out the way I prefer. Usually they come out just north of perfection.
I've recently started sprinkling some bacon bits on the cheese before I cook. Just enough to get a taste of bacon.

I think I'm going to ignore most of your posts because because you've demonstrated you know nothing about cooking and all you're trying to do is be belittling and disrespectful. And who needs that. You have something positive to say, great. If not I'm just going to ignore you. Still waiting for pictures of what you cook but I'm not holding my breath. LOL

No time to cook today too much time outdoors so I made turkey breast, red onion, tomato, avocado, anchovy, sandwiches on 5 seed bread toasted. It's the salty anchovy that makes the sandwich.

As someone who can tell by looking...
Leathery-skinned and beginning to wrinkle generally means they've developed a stronger than usual saltiness and denser texture, as the moisture has left from the time on the heat.
If the skin isn't glistening with sweat, the hot dog likely hasn't had time to develop the desirable characteristic rich flavour.

You never have to buy a hot dog off the roller grill if you're not hungry or not prepared to grapple with the deeper existential questions that gas station hot dogs embody.

Another disgusting home cooked meal, this time it's fried eggplant with turkey sausage and an omelette. If you've never had fried eggplant you're missing something it tastes nothing like you think it will. Crispy on the outside soft in the middle with just a touch of natural sweetness to me it's way better than pancakes with a fraction of the calories and carbs.

Here is how I do it.

Slice the eggplant into thin pieces, dip in egg, roll in breadcrumbs, deep fry in oil for about two minutes and flip.

I usually add sauce, mozzarella cheese, and air-fry for a few minutes for eggplant parmigiana.

Switch to ricotta cheese for eggplant rollatini.

I'll also slice up the eggplant and use it as a meat alternative in a spaghetti sauce.

So easy. All I do is cut it thick dip it in scrambled egg mixture and fried on both sides. I use olive oil make sure it's cooked long enough so it's soft inside and it will taste nothing like you think it will. Tastes almost like bread. I then use the leftover egg mixture to make the omelette. The sausage I had already cooked previously and frozen in a big batch so this is a really quick dinner to make.

Your way of cooking it is fine but it's also loaded with carbs and calories. I just thick slice mine dip it in scrambled egg mixture and fry it and it turns out great.

If you pan fry it in just a small amount of oil it's fine. The way I cook it with just a egg wash it uses no oil at all, the same amount of oil is in the pan when you're done so it doesn't add any calories to the dish.

My sister-in-law bought what she thought was regular frozen hamburgers at Target and they turn out to be totally plant-based and she did not want them and because she's a woman she'll never take anything back so she gave them to my wife and my wife did not want them so she gave them to me. I've never tried plant-based burgers before so I was pretty skeptical. I pan-fry them in a little olive oil about 4 minutes on each side and they look just like regular hamburgers. I put them on five seed bread with mayo red onion tomato and low fat cheese and I'll tell you what. Bite for bite, I absolutely could not tell the difference between this and a regular beef hamburger. How do they do that, I tried my best not to like it and I could not tell the difference.

I've been making my own hamburgers since 1959. My mother worked second shift so my dad was in charge of meals and once we turned 10 or 11 years old, during the week we got to make our own dinner because my dad was a terrible cook. He would stop at the store almost every day and buy 3 lb of hamburger for a dollar. It was that price all through the 1960s 3 lb of ground beef for a buck. So me and my siblings ate a lot of hamburgers and meatloaf and sloppy joes and other stuff made with ground beef. So I know what a regular hamburger tastes like and these plant-based burgers were the real thing. They were expensive enough, she paid $17 for 2 lb box that's $8.50 a pound, so they better be good. LOL

I will not be eating these on a regular basis because they're processed food and I don't eat processed food very much. They have all kinds of weird ingredients but only 3 G of carb so that's why I tried them.

Here is how I do it.

Slice the eggplant into thin pieces, dip in egg, roll in breadcrumbs, deep fry in oil for about two minutes and flip.

I usually add sauce, mozzarella cheese, and air-fry for a few minutes for eggplant parmigiana.

Switch to ricotta cheese for eggplant rollatini.

I'll also slice up the eggplant and use it as a meat alternative in a spaghetti sauce.

What are the advantages of using a home version of a deep fryer appliance? I've always assumed that deep frying in oil results in unhealthy food, like french fries at McDonalds.

Elvis Presley had a death wish favorite sandwich that he ate all the time. Two slices of bread butter on each side flip it over peanut butter on both sides add sliced banana and two strips of cooked bacon dipped in honey. Put the sandwich together and cook it in the deep fryer until golden brown. This is why he weighed as much as he did in the 1970s. And died at 42.

Looks good. But for whatever reason I don’t put Turkey and chicken in the same salad. I have eaten them together in a TurDuckEn.

Your opinion means less than nothing to me if that's possible.

Been a lot of talk lately about what to do to lose weight. That looks like a lot of dressing on that salad. Is it yogurt based or somehow lower calorie than the usual ranch?

I made a nice grilled three cheese on rye for dinner. The bread was grilled to golden perfection but for some reason the cheese was still solid and cold. I stuck it in microwave for 30 seconds and it was perfect.

I have never been able to make a great grilled cheese as either the cheese is not melted properly or the bread is over cooked. When i was starting to date my now wife, I went down to San Diego to stay with her for a long weekend. I was there on Friday but she was still at work so I offered to cook her dinner when she got home. She thought she was giving me an easy out as she requested grilled cheese and tomato soup. When she got home she busted out laughing as I had Googled and printed instructions for making a grilled cheese. To this day I still haven't made a good grilled cheese but fortunately she now doesn't ask me to cook too often.

I had to learn a few girlfriends ago. (She was a big fan of grilled cheese.)
The pan temperature should be quite low (burner setting 2 or 3 on the common scale, where my instinct was to set it at half scale), and the sandwich should get flipped at least 4 times (where instinct said 1).
There may be a faster technique, but this seems to produce very good results.

I was at à warehouse club last weekend and they had cases of grilled cheese sandwiches ready to microwave. It really surprised me

It is certainly possible. I say coming from you I take that as a compliment. Did I hurt your feelings exposing your foolish claims?
