Knock Out the Freshman 15
Knock Out the Freshman 15 with George Foreman!
August is fast approaching and graduating seniors and parents across the country are starting to get ready to send their new freshman off to school. Whether you’re freshman is moving across the country or just down the street, one of the biggest lifestyle challenges they’ll face as they live on their own for the first time ever will be the dreaded Freshman 15. We’ve all heard about it (and most of us even dealt with it ourselves) – that roughly 15 pounds that college freshmen gain on average in their first year of school.
So how do you help your freshman avoid packing on 15 pounds while they’re away for the first year? George Foreman indoor grills are a perfect solution! From the time that our first Champ™ Grill was put out in the 90’s, George Foreman grills have been a compact, simple solution to getting your college student to eat better even when they’re so far away from home.

Grilled Wraps
Making Refreshing Grilled Wraps for Easy Summer Meals
Summer is in full swing and the sweltering heat being felt in most of the country can make hot, heavy meals seem less than appetizing. Instead of weighing yourself down with a hot casserole, why not take the summer months as a great opportunity to explore the wonderful world of fresh grilled sandwich wraps?
Several things make grilled wraps a great idea for a summer meal. First, they’re generally a lot lighter on the stomach than other hot meals, so you’re not faced with needing a nap after every meal. Aside from that, they’re also extremely easy to do – even if you want to make several different wraps to satisfy all the picky eaters in your house. This way, you can fix the meal, finish eating and get back your day without a lot of hassle.

Variable Temperature Control Grills
Feature Focus: Variable Temperature Control
Slide Temperature Control
As optional features on George Foreman grills go, variable temperature control is a must have for anyone that cooks a variety of foods on their grill – beyond just the usual steak, chicken and burgers. Although not all of our indoor electric grills offer variable temperature, for grilling fanatics it’s almost a necessity as you work to achieve the results you really want on your plate.
With variable temperature control, you’re able to adjust the thermostat for the grill’s embedded heating elements to better suit the type of food you’re cooking. Although you can cook fish at the same temperature as you would cook meat and poultry, the finished product may not have both the interior and exterior color and texture that you wanted. To get perfectly cooked food on the inside, you may have to cook the exterior more than you would like. With variable temperature control, you can lower temperature being transferred through the plates so you get the results you want both inside and out.

Outdoor Grilling with George Foreman®
From backyards to campsites – now you can take George anywhere to Knock Out the Fat™!
Summer is definitely the grilling season. Across the country, people are headed outside for fun, sun and some of their favorite grilled food. From backyards and patios to parks and campsites, everyone is firing up their outdoor grills to get the most out of summer.
While George Foreman Grills may have been born on the kitchen countertop, today’s line includes grills that let you take healthy cooking anywhere you need it. That’s just part of our commitment to make healthy cooking easy and readily accessible, no matter where you are. So, from your kitchen counter, to the backyard and beyond, you can make healthier meals for your family that still satisfy their taste buds.
With our indoor-outdoor grills (GGR50 or GGR200), you can enjoy backyard grilling with all the benefits you get from your George Foreman indoor grill. Thanks to an electric heat source, rather than wood, coals or gas, you can even cook outside on the patio or even your balcony in an apartment building or condo. This makes the fun of outdoor grilling more accessible to everyone, whether you’re out in the country or right at the center of a major urban area. We go more in-depth on these versatile grills in the Product article of this month’s newsletter.
For grilling that goes beyond the home, the George2Go™ Propane Grill (GP200) lets you take George anywhere to Knock Out the Fat. The grill provides 2½ – 4 hours of grilling or griddling with a reversible grill and griddle plate. This makes it perfect for park picnics, road trips and camping, giving you a family-size cooking surface for breakfast, lunch and dinner food. Plus, with the adjustable slope and George Tough™ nonstick coating, you’re getting the George Foreman Healthy Cooking combination anywhere you cook.
With outdoor grilling from George Foreman, you’re getting all of the Healthy Cooking benefits of cooking with George for all your outdoor events. All of the grills feature our George Tough™ nonstick coating for oil-free cooking. In addition, they offer an electric heat source, rather than an open flame, so you can avoid some of the health risks associated with outdoor grilling – for more on this, read this month’s health article on Making Outdoor Grilling Healthier.
George Foreman Indoor-Outdoor Grills
Your all-weather grilling solutions!
Although this month’s newsletter is all about outdoor grilling, two George Foreman grills give you the best of both worlds – indoors and outdoors. Just imagine planning a backyard BBQ for your family and friends, only to find out the day before that Mother Nature is about to send an unwanted guest in the form of an all-day thunder storm. With any other outdoor grill, your only option is to reschedule for another weekend. With George Foreman, you simply move the party inside so you and your guests can still enjoy the day.
With our indoor-outdoor grill series, you get 200+ square inches of cooking surface to feed your whole family. Both cooking surfaces feature our George Tough™ nonstick coating that lets you cook without oil or butter. In addition, the plate design with deep ribs and a central grease channel that helps fat and grease drain away for healthier meals.
The grills offer indoor-outdoor versatility with a removable outdoor grill pedestal. When you’re cooking outdoors, the base rests on the pedestal, giving you the look and feel of a traditional outdoor grill. Then, if it starts to rain or you want to move the party indoors, simply take the base off the pedestal using the safe-touch handles and set it on your counter. It’s that easy! Plus, for condo and apartment residents, you can even use your indoor-outdoor grill on your balcony, since it’s not a flame, coal or gas powered heat source.
