One of the best ways to eat healthy is to limit your fat intake. Grilling achieves that, by allowing you to cook without adding fat to food and (with George Foreman grills) knocking out the fat. But, grilling isn’t the only healthy cooking method you can use with George Foreman. You can achieve healthy flavorful meals with the George Foreman Skillite™ Searing Skillet.

Skillet meals are stereotypically thought of as fat-laden foods, but there are ways to cook lighter. With the Skillite™, you can sauté, stir-fry, brown meat and even sear. On its Intelli-Probe™ digital controls that offer precise temperature-controlled cooking, there is a unique SEAR button. This delivers high enough heat on an electrical skillet that effectively sears the juices in your meat.

Searing is a powerful cooking method that cooks and delivers flavor in one fell swoop. Flavors are enhanced through caramelization, which results in a nutty flavor and brown color. It is used in a variety of cooking methods like baking, braising, roasting and sautéing. Cooks like to say that searing “locks in the moisture.”

Since the Skillite™ has our George Tough™ nonstick coating, adding oil is not necessary to cook your meals. Plus, it has an integrated grease channel that allows you to push fat away from food as you cook, so your meats, fish and veggies will be flavorful without any excess grease.

The Skillite™ is perfect for family meals. Make chicken tacos for a fun weeknight meal and make them even healthier by using soft tacos instead of hard. Try low-fat sour cream and cheeses and offer a variety of fresh vegetable toppings. If you are craving something completely different, you can use the searing option to make a healthy stir-fry to replace Chinese takeout on the weekends.
