Preparing Your Food
Food preparation is the same as with conventional ovens and kitchen appliances, but you'll need to cut any large chucks of meat and vegetables into small sections. Trim off any fat (you can leave on small amount of fat for flavor if you like), then apply your seasonings. You can do a dry rub to your meat. The dry rub will turn to liquid once the marinade or water in the infusion unit starts to enter the meat on the grill.
Cooking On The George Foreman Fusion Grill
The George Foreman Fusion Grill's surface has some coating in place to keep foods from sticking, but to be on the safe side, spray on some non-stick spray before cooking your meat and vegetables. Before closing the grill's lid, make sure you fill the infusion insert with your favorite liquid marinade or hot water. The infusion part of the unit will keep your food from drying out.
Once the food is in the grill, reduce the grill's temperature setting if needed and cook to recommended time for your meat (usually 4 minutes but varies). Since the grill has a see-through top and not a dual grill surface, you must open the grill and turn the meat over with a spatula. This is also a good time to check the condition of your vegetables and turn them as well. Always let your meats and vegetables cook for the entire required cooking time.
Cleanup
Cleaning up The George Foreman Fusion Grill is as simple as draining any liquid from the unit and cleaning the infuser unit with soap and water. Dry everything with a paper towel and store the grill on a counter top or in a cabinet.
