Dishwasher-Safe Grill Accessories
Feature Focus: Dishwasher-Safe Custom Grill Accessories
Grill accessories may seem like a small thing, but they can make a big difference in how easy it is to prepare, cook, serve and clean when you’re using your George Foreman grill. Not only that, they’re part of what makes the George Foreman grills able to let you cook healthier with less hassle.
All George Foreman grills include a custom drip tray and spatula
All George Foreman products come with a custom drip tray and spatula that are specially designed to fit that electric grill model. For this reason, if you lose or damage your drip tray and/or spatula, we recommend ordering replacements through our parts service at 1-800-738-0245. Don’t simply try to substitute ones from another model because they won’t work as well – particularly for the drip tray that catches grease and fat all along the front sloped section of your grill.
So what’s so great about these accessories?
First, they’re dishwasher-safe, so you can simply toss them in the top rack of your dishwasher after you’re done cooking to minimize the time you spend on cleanup after the meal. Just remember to always let the drip tray cool a little before you empty it, to avoid touching hot grease.
The drip tray helps knock out the fat, as the spatula makes plating food easy
The drip tray is particularly good because it works with our patented sloped design to the work for you in knocking out the fat. The tray covers the entire width of the front of your grill, so as the patented slope lets the grease drain, the drip tray catches it without you needing to scrape or try and move the grease in a particular direction.
As for the spatula, it’s specially designed to fit perfectly with the George Foreman grill ribs so you can place and remove food from the grill plate without a hassle. Instead of trying to poke your food with a fork or catch it with a pair of tongs, you can simply slip the edge of the spatula under the food and place or remove it. It’s also completely safe to use with our George Tough™ nonstick surface, so you won’t scratch, cut or mar the nonstick coating. This extends the life of your grill, so you can have peace of mind that you’re getting the most out of your product for years to come.

Maintaining Nonstick Grill Surface
Tips & Tricks: Maintaining your George Tough™ Nonstick Cooking Surface
A few months ago, we did a Feature Focus post on the benefits of our George Tough™ nonstick coating that comes standard on any George Foreman cooking surface. A few comments we received came from people having issues with their surface, so we wanted to do another post specifically directed at maintaining your nonstick surface properly.
In this post, we review all of the tips and tricks that will help extend the life of your product by maintaining the nonstick surface. Everything from placing and serving on the plates, to how best to wash is covered, so you can get all the information in one place. If you’re still having issues maintaining your finish, we recommend calling our Customer Care line at 1-800-231-9786.
Turkey Salsa Roll Recipe
From the Cookbook: Grilled Turkey Salsa Rolls
Here’s another great recipe from the George Foreman vault. It’s quick and easy, can be made on any George Foreman grill and makes a great lunch or afternoon snack as we head into the hot months of summer. It’s also fairly healthy, particularly if you use low-fat Monterey jack cheese and you can adjust the level of spicy heat by choosing whatever particular salsa suits your taste.
TURKEY SALSA ROLL RECIPE
- ¼ cup packaged salsa
- 1 tbsp. minced purple onion
- 1 tbsp. chopped cilantro
- 2 large tomato wraps
- 4 oz. sliced turkey
- 4 oz. shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers
In a small bowl, combine salsa, onion and cilantro; set aside.
Place the wraps on a cutting board and spread salsa mixture down the center of each wrap. Top with turkey and cheese. Fold in the ends and roll-up. Place fold side down on your preheated George Foreman grill and close the lid. Grill about 3 minutes or until sandwich is golden and cheese is melted.
Makes 2 wraps
