College-Bound Grill Buying Guide
As summer comes to a close, college students – first-year and returning alike – are getting ready to head back to campus. A big concern for moms is what and how well their college kids eat while they’re away from home. You know they’re going to be pressed for time, not wanting to cook big meals and probably eating on a tight budget.
So how do you make sure your college-bound kids are eating well away from home? Get them the perfect George Foreman indoor grill, of course! This handy buying guide provides a closer look at some of our best back-to-college grills, so you can choose the right grill to keep your kids eating well even when they’re away at school.
The Champ™ Grill series – The College Dorm Classic
Since 1994 when George Foreman original Champ™ grill hit the market, the Champ™ Grill series has practically become a fixture of the perfect college dorm room setup. The grill is the perfect size for 1-2 servings in a very compact space, so it’s the right size for a dorm.
The Champ™ grill comes in various colors and you can also find them with grill sponges or bun warmers. The grill sponge is a big help to simplify cleanup, so it’s ideal for college students that are always on-the-go and those that aren’t really big on cleaning. The bun warmer variations of the Champ™ Grill are perfect for burger lovers, because you can heat the buns as you cook in one compact space.
G-Broil™ Grill series – The Perfect Fit for 1st Apartments
Whether it’s an apartment on campus or their first time out in their own place, most college students living in apartments typically find themselves a little short on easy cooking options in the kitchen. Living alone or even with a roommate, they may not have enough people to justify turning on the oven or stovetop to cook a full meal. In addition, busy lives and packed class schedules probably mean they don’t have a lot of time either. The G-Broil™ Grill series is the perfect answer because it gives them a fast, healthy cooking option without taking up a lot of space on the counter thanks to a vertical storage option. › Continue reading
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.

Festival Day with George Foreman
Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival
Last month, George Foreman Healthy Cooking hit the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by Food & Wine Magazine. The event ran the last weekend in February from Thursday to Sunday with an estimated 50,000 people attending over the 4-day period.
At the George Foreman booth in the Grand Tasting Tent right on the beach, our team was happy to personally meet and greet about 10,000 George Foreman fans. In addition to meeting some of the members of our team, visitors got to taste the recipe featured in this month’s newsletter, enjoy some free giveaways, sign up for a daily raffle of a 360 Grill™ and take a look at some of the latest and greatest grills – including the Power Grill™ Supreme featured in this month’s newsletter.
What was truly great for us was getting to meet all the longtime George Foreman grillers that came out to visit with us. Getting to reminisce about the first Champ™ Grill ever made and hearing all those fun stories about grilling burgers on a dorm room desktop in college is one of the best parts of our job here on the George Foreman team. It helps remind us that we work for a brand that’s been such a big part of people’s lives for a long time and that’s a really good feeling. › Continue reading
Spring Dining
Using Seasonal Foods to Bring New Life to Your Menu
Spring is on its way and it’s a great time to bring new life to your menu with all the tasty seasonal items that are starting to become available. Not only do you get the chance to liven up your meals, but it’s also a great time to start incorporating more vegetables and fruits in your diet if you’re trying to keep up a healthy lifestyle. In addition, spring brings back a whole range of light, fresh tastes that help you have more energy and get over the heavy weight of those long winter months.
Traditionally, winter foods and dishes are often heavier – more savory flavors, lots of meat and starches, and not a lot of fresh vegetables or fruits since most are out of season. Historically, it’s the time we batten down the hatches for harsh cold, all but hibernating with a lot of really very weighty foods. In turn, spring refreshes, rejuvenates and revitalizes the world – and it’s the perfect time to do the same with your weekly menu plan. › Continue reading
