If someone doesn't like steak cooked on a forman grill it is probably due to the relative lack of heat produced. It just doesn't get that seared crust that makes steak so good. I'm not sure why people like these grills........ They are harder to clean up than a frying pan, take longer to heat up, don't get as hot, and don' have as many uses. I say just get yourself a good cheap pan and call it good..
Let me guess, you like your steak well done? Being a former steakhouse waitress, steak in general tends to lose its flavor & tenderness the more it is cooked.
...not my personal preference, but getting back to the topic, I've found my GEORGE FOREMAN grill to be one of the best purchases I've made in a long time! I've recommended it to friends, co-workers, and any interested parties.
Here are the Pros:
***FAST - the unit reaches "ready to cook" temperature in less than 5 minutes. everything cooks in 10 minutes or less...any longer and you risk overcooking your food
***EASY - all you have to do is season your meat (if you are so inclined), throw it on the grill, and keep an eye on the "fat catching tray."
***INEXPENSIVE - $39.95 for the model I have - It holds 4 medium burgers..."plus a convenient bun warmer on top."
I've cooked burgers, fish, chicken, pork loin, steak...all kinds of stuff on the grill. It comes with a little booklet that outlines the cooking time for the type and weight for various kinds of meat.
The clean up is a matter of timing--I squeeze a wet sponge over the grill (while it is still plugged in and hot) to help clean the grill without much elbow grease. Be careful of the STEAM that will be produced...

you don't want to get a steam burn! You'll find this much easier to deal with.
Overall, it's a great addition to your daily regimine if you are looking to have a clean AND good tasting diet. I am thoroughly pleased with my Foreman grill...heck, I should own stock in these babies because I know I've helped to sell dozens of them!
