thanks for the neat tip, now I just need to figure out how to clean this thing before I start using aluminium foil.
;)
Title is sorta misleading. This should be called how to keep it from getting dirty.
+thelegendx1984 Whatever floats your boat!
+Brandon Campbell Why don't you just acknowledge it and change the title.
+sklodowska226 no need
how to cook like a lazy bastard without getting married to some bitch
@@mrbubetube ??? What are you implying??
So simple I’m surprised I didn’t think of this. Thanks for posting this 9 years ago so I could find it now
lol
@@BasementBrandon Yes, and 10 years for me! Thanks, Brandon.
I just found it today! Lol. Then I realized that this method is only good for those of us that want to keep higher fat content in the food we are 'grilling' because of the *foil placement overrides the groved design of the Foreman Grill. That said, one could form-fit the foil to the grill surfaces and that might work better.🤷🏼 Idk. I only came here to learn about cleaning it since mine was in storage for a long time. Thanks to anyone reading this. Take care.
"How to clean" more like "how you will never have to clean it" lol
Works for me!
Great tip Brandon Campbell Another great alternative to using your method is whenever you are done grilling, place a wet towel in the grill and let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off the steam from the griddle.
"non-cook sticking spray" hahah love it!
😂
I started doing this earlier this year and it's been so convenient. I like to use heavy duty foil just so I don't accidentally tear the foil and get all the juices everywhere
I just used this method and it was much much more convenient than cleaning it after every use. I used to clean it right after cooking before the stuff dries up. Now I can go straight to eating after cooking, so happy.
And to think I was searching for a better way to clean my George Foreman Grill, why didn't I think about using foil before? This is about working smarter not harder!! Thanks for the tip!!!
Thanks for taking a look!
Why didn't I think of this?! Just bought another one of these at a discount store-it's an earlier model and actually made much strudier than the mostly softer plastic ones of today. LOVE this tip........yes, thank you!
hope it helps.
Just watched this. Just tried it. It Worked Fantastically!! I have avoided my George Foreman *because* of the cleaning… and now I’m going to use it All The Time. Thank You!! 🤩
right on
This wasn't a way of cleaning it, it was a way of not getting it dirty. Waist of time.
Then it appears it has a lot in common with your comment.
Brandon Campbell you titled this video "how to clean", so the fault is kind of yours here. I felt like it was a waste of my time too, because my grill is already dirty... However, i'll be using this method for future grills
Waist?
Not a problem dude. Fit's will vary. This shirt here is more of a slim fit type so it hugs the arms more.
My advice would be to go off those diet plans all together and find one that still allows you to sometimes eat the food you like. Doing so will ensure you stick to your plan more often.
what an incredible idea. I just bought a GF grill and now I know I will never need to wash the thing. Thanks!
Great tip,Now I am more lazy than ever Hahahahah
I sprayed the top and bottom. I found it does stick a little if you don't use the spray
That's just the most common argument I get in regards to it, sorry for misunderstanding. I don't worry too much about things like that just b/c in the end, anything can potentially be dangerous and it's not worth stressing!
It doesn't remove any more fat really than conventional cooking, it just looks that way as You have a tray to show you what's left over. It'd be the same as taking what's left in the pan and putting it in a cup after.
Considering you can get 75 feet of foil for around $4, you'll be able to do this around 50 times. Or, $0.08 each time. Well worth it IMO.
So help me I will never understand why people have such angst over cleaning this grill. It isn't rocket science!! I have the very model displayed here in this video and have been using it for several years with no issues about the cleanup at all. These are the key points: 1) Use a non-stick olive oil spray on the plates before cooking---(yes, it does help). 2) After cooking while the plates are still WARM, NOT HOT, take a couple of damp paper towels and wipe the grill plates of all excess grease. 3) Get yourself some specially designed George Foreman grill sponges--(you can buy them at Bed, Bath and Beyond or online at Amazon) and use the sponge to gently scrub between the grooves of the top and bottom plates. You should first dampen the sponge with warm water and add just a touch of detergent. 4) Wipe plates clean and dry with a handy-wipe. This process takes about 5-7 minutes--trust me it won't kill you LOL!!
The process you outline above is what we all do already, but the thing is we don't want to take 5-7 minutes to clean it, hence the point of this video.
I suppose it comes down to a matter of preference--but I would much rather take a few minutes to clean the grill than to use tinfoil. (I'm not too cool on using tinfoil when cooking on this machine---not sure that's a healthy practice in the long run.)
Food gets cold if you clean the grill straigh5 away.
This is just a copy and paste job from a relevant study, but the answer is NO: "The contact of food with aluminum cooking utensils cannot alone raise plasma aluminum concentrations to the millimolar levels required to decrease brain glucose metabolism."
I have to say I have learned a lot of things from your channel and as well as other RUclips channels but this is by far the the greatest thing I have ever learned lmao!!!!!! I have no idea why I never thought of this before.
Fair enough! I will just say be careful as fast weight loss can result in diminished strength, muscle and even leave you with loose skin (depending on how much you have to lose).
I don't think that's a fair point. It's not necessarily unhealthy either. There hasn't been any research to show a cause and effect relationship between grilling and cancer. If someone is worried about it that much they can just trim off portions that are over cooked/burnt.
I do that too sometimes still as it seems stupid to use the drip tray.
I don't have any real other "catch phrases" besides stay big. But you can take that a couple ways. some people might think of it as being massive while others may look at it from an attitude standpoint of being a "bigger" person.
Not very likely. I'm going to try to do all new videos here!
Agree, nothing beats a real flame!
Thanks for watching. I used to have that one too, but still hated cleaning it!
Campbell Fitness coming in clutch.
Oh sweet lord.
No problem, thanks for watching
Get ad blocker! Also Ogus has been a big supporter of mine for years and bought one of my shirts, it's only fair to support him back. You don't have to click on the annotation back to his site if you don't wish. Regardless, thanks for watching.
Literally just tried this and it worked like a charm. Thanks Brandon!
+Seth H Glad to hear.
Awesome, thanks for sharign this. My george foreman has been sitting in my garage for years with barely any use. Going to start using it again now that you reminded me. Pan meat just sucks.
Great video. Saving time in cleaning my grill helps me save time when trying to get strong, stay strong, and use my strength.
The go to cleaning method.
Agreed, it kept me from using them for awhile.
I think it could as they're meant to hold up to high heat.
Would this also work for my Pizzazz pizza oven?
one way to find out
Depends on how you fold the foil, I still had to clean the tray after as it got a lot of stuff in it!
George Foreman grill = best thirty bucks I ever spent! Excellent tip! This will save me quite a bit of time.
The biggest reason why I don't use my Foreman grill the way that I used to is that I HATE cleaning it! I'm definitely trying this.
Thanks!
~Khaleef
That's actually great advice! What I've done is just clean it with something wet while it's still hot. More water - easier it cleans. But this is def most convenient way to go:)
The first rule of Campbell's Kitchen is we do not talk about Campbell's Kitchen :)
I can't believe this never occurred to me before. I love the George Foreman Grill's, but I really hate cleaning it. Great video. Thanks.
This has nothing to do with how to actually clean the grill itself.
Sure it does.
Brandon Campbell It doesn't really. It's how to prevent cleaning the grill, not how to clean it.
That being said, thanks for the tip! I might just do this, because I currently avoid using my GF because I hate cleaning it!
I still like to stick to 3 sets of deadlifts, typically 3 sets of 5 reps. With DL's they tax your central nervous system very heavily and people also tend to slip up on form when going high reps.
Prob need to thaw them out. Put the baggie in water for a lil while and let them soften up.
It can def help if you want to cook something without having access to a grill.
Hi, I have a completely unrelated question. But I was just curious, and because you reply a lot, I thought I'd ask you. With deadlifts, I've been told I should only do 1 set of 5 reps, and no more than one set. Is this true? An answer from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
No prob, hope it helps
Thanks for this great tip, as I ordered one today here in China. This will save me for sure some valuable time...
Not misleading at all, using tin foil over the top is a quick and easy way to ensure cleaning is as easy as possible.
awesome video, i actually stopped using my George because it took too long to clean and chicken always stuck to it, already tried this trick today, THANK YOU (small tip, wrapping the chicken tightly can make it stop going dry. because alot of steam is not coming out.
How much aluminum seeps into the food from cooking with it?
If you don't mind buying foil, it's def a life saver!
Sure can. I have one on my old channel that I've been meaning to redo.
I done this about 15yrs ago but I think it cooks better with out the tin foil the best way to clean it is with boiling water and kitchen roll the own brand Tesco actually works best remember to unplug first I was actually surprised by the amount of people who have never thought of using aluminium foil for that before so I guess it was informative lol thanks 👍
Great tip!
Living in asia, never seen this product but just watch the hell out of all your vid and like.. anyway I wish I had one of this man, looks like legit grilling machine.
Sounds nice. You are the man Brandon! Been a subscriber since forever. Still find you videos informative, differentiated from other channels and motivating. Keep it up and stay BIG
I used to do it this way too but still found it aggravating!
I had that one for awhile too but found it was still a pain to clean. I guess whatever is easiest.
This was brilliant!!! Thanks to this method (with some small adjustments to the tin foil) i was able to make my signature "Jalapeno Cheddar Spinach Burgers" with no mess. Dinner tasted so much better after that. :)
Glad to hear it worked out!
Can I have the recipe please?
I get some smoke, but it's from the food, it's the same as what I see when I cook on the stove.
I have the removable plate version but i still use the foil for FISH/Seafood to keep that smell out of the cooking plates. Foil cookes cooler but with any new grill or pan, practice makes better and soo much cheaper and better for you cooking at home and knowing what you're eating.
I used to have the removable plate version too, but even though I washed them they got nasty over time and I had to throw em away!
interesting I used to have one but mine let out a lotttt of smoke and I thought It was dangerous.. I dont know if that was normal or not.
Thanks for leaving the comment. When I switched over channels I had a hard time porting over my subscriptions. Will go watch the review. This costs about $20.
Yeah I used to do something similar, this way is much easier IMO. Thanks for the suggestion!
Turn it off after use, pour some water onto the grill and it usually drags the stuck on pieces down to the drip tray, but using foil is easier
Nice! Funny how u just posted this vid. I just used my George Foreman grill last night that I had put away for years. Lol. Thanks for the tip bro!
Great point, thanks for the feedback! That was one of the reasons I stopped using mine so much as well!
You should change the title of the video. It has nothing to do with cleaning an already dirty grill, which was my issue. Try "Keeping it clean" or "Hate Cleaning your GF grill?"
Alberto Ocampo I'm fine with the title.
***** yes.
How do you go about tracking macros in terms of cooking chicken for example on the grill?
*HINT*
Bash the chicken inside a plastic bag with something heavy like a mallet or a can of yams, so that the chicken is an even thickness. This ensures complete cooking throughout. For more stress relief bash the hell out of it until it's a thin cutlet, that'll cook even faster. When the juices go from pink to clear, then it's cooked!
I'll try to do some with those for sure.
Bro, random questions. But what size of V-necks tee's and button down shirts do you use? as well as how big are your arms?
Agreed!
Cleaning was one of the reasons I stopped using my Foreman as much.
Sure thing!
Yeah it's one of the reasons I didn't use it as much, hated cleaning.
Great vid as a preventative measure, but it didn't mention anything about cleaning an already hard to clean grill. You should change the title of the video ;)
This takes the place of cooking the regular way, which in turn makes it easy to clean, thus it's the best way ;)
Hope it helps!
Good point. I did that but just didnt' show it!
Okay so I watched this hoping you would show me how to disassemble the grilling plates to wash under the sink, or wet some paper towel or sponge, whip out a brush...that would be the natural expectation since your title is: How to clean a George Foreman Grill. Your title should actually be: A great way to use your George Foreman Grill and not have to CLEAN it afterward...my frustration continues
Use this method and you won't have to spend time searching for ways to clean it ;)
This will convince my parents to buy me one of those. Thanks Brandon!
Hollarin' back from Germany!
Not the video I was looking for, but great tip!
Thanks for taking a look.
He owns cooking on RUclips!
Nice, I bought one recently so luckily nothing sticks to it yet. But this seems very useful.
Yeah I had stopped using mine as much b/c I hated cleaning!
Glad you like!
Love the idea of aluminum foil makes clean up a breeze.
Exactly!
*how many minutes does it take to cook a chicken breast after the grill preheated?
:o FREAKING BRILLIANT! Definitely gonna try this tomorrow for my steaks.
It's all about what you make of it, thanks for the great feedback!
Sure does
I had that one too, but you still have to clean it. With this you literally just toss the tin foil and you're done!
Ha if you find one let me know!
True!
You can weigh your food if you want (which I don't do). But let's say I buy a 1lb package of chicken that has 3 breasts in it. I know that each breast will be around 5oz or so.
I used to do it that way too, just find this is easier, plus saves a lot of paper towels!
Hope they get one for you!
