I notice that Aldi have one of the fat reducing grills in store again today, they had a similar one a few months back.
Anyone got any opinions on it - is it worth getting for 25 euro or should I hold out and get a George Foreman one instead?

thanks.
 
Im also looking for one and saw that, can the grills be taken out of the aldi one does anyone know ? AFAIK they can't be taken out of on the george forman ones
 
Do they cause problems with sensitive smoke alarms? I'd love to get one but living in an apartment I can only imagine that this would cause problems.
 
Interested in a George Foreman also. Are these grills difficult to clean. I remember my mother ditching the breville sandwich toaster for that very reason.

As long as you tackle them with soapy water when the grill is still warm, the task is not difficult.
If you let everything cool down then its harder.
If we do happen to let cool down, we simply turn it on for a minute or so and it's not too bad to tackle.
Would recommend one, and advise you to get as big a one as you can afford
 
fish fingers, rashers, chops, chicken breasts, sausages, pudding, steaks, waffles.. anything youd grill. Experiment. Ive tried raw veg but found onions are the only thing that comes out ok. they say you can do sliced potatoes but I dont like them out of the george. If you leave something on too long under a normal grill it'll burn, do that on the george and it'll dry out so get your timing right. e.g. 12 mins for chicken breasts, 2 mins to heat up and then 10 for cooking. Perfect every time.
for cleaning, as other posters said it needs to be still hot, then kitchen roll works every time for me. If you didnt bother cleaning straight away, turn on for 2 mins and then a quick wipe does the job practically every time. alternatively, use a finger nail and mouth approach mmmm chops and rasher bits...
You wont have a problem with smoke alarms as its only steam coming off, not carbon whatsits that are produced by burning from a grill.
