George Foreman Grill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine, commonly known as the George Foreman Grill, is an indoor, electrically-heated grill manufactured by Salton, Inc. It is promoted by George Foreman, a former champion boxer. Since its introduction in 1994, over 80 million Foreman grills have been sold.[1]. In the VH1 Show "Hogan Knows Best", Hogan revealed that he was offered the contract for the grill first, but decided against the investment in exchange for a Hulk Hogan blender. Other sources explain it was because he missed a phone call[2].

[edit] Design
The George Foreman Grill has a clamshell design with indented, Teflon-coated heating surfaces that lead to a slanted surface so fat will drain away from the food being cooked. In 2006, the George Foreman "Next Grilleration" Health Grill was launched, which features detachable grilling plates for cleaning purposes.
[edit] Reception
Foreman has made over 150 million dollars from the sales of his grills, a sum that is substantially more than he earned as a boxer.[1]
