George Foreman Lean Mean Fryer
Hidden Gems: The Lean Mean Fryer from George Foreman
This may very well be one of the best kept secret products ever produced under the George Foreman name. You might not have heard about it when it came onto the market a few years ago and they can be a little hard to find now, but if you can’t get enough of fried food, this may be the product for you.
The Lean Mean Fryer (GSF026B if you’re searching online) is a deep fryer that lets you enjoy your favorite fried foods with less fat. Now, of course, this doesn’t make frying healthy, but it does make it healthier. So, if you just can’t give up fried food completely from your diet, this gives you a healthier way of preparing and eating them at home.
The fryer works like a regular deep fryer, but at the end of cooking, you move the food basket above the oil and activate a spin cycle that removes fat that’s typically absorbed during frying. Basically, instead of the cooking oil absorbing into the food and adding fat, the oil is knocked out for healthier (and crispier!) results. On chicken nuggets, for example, this Smart Spin™ technology knocks out up to 55% of the absorbed fat.
The Smart Spin™ technology also works fast, too, so you don’t add a lot of extra time in the kitchen. You fry for a few minutes (most foods fry in less than 5) and then you do a 1-2 minute spin cycle. It’s that easy to get your favorite fried foods with less added fat!
Easy-to-use controls on the front of the fryer let you control the speed of the spin cycle, as well as the temperature. This way, if you’re worried that a delicate fried food would come apart spinning on high, you can set to low or even turn it off completely for traditional deep fried food. In addition, the unique frying basket was specially designed to ensure food doesn’t crumble and keeps it shape as it spins.
The immersed heating element on the base provides even heat and faster temperature recovery was food is submerged in the oil, which provides better, crispier results on your finished plate. As a final convenience, the fryer is designed for easy assembly and disassembly, plus includes all dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleaning. This way, once you’re done frying, you can break down and clean up without a hassle.
So, for those of you that are like a few of us here on the George Foreman team and you can’t imagine life without your favorite fried foods, you may want to look around online and see if you can find one.
