Locking Hinge G + Broiling Chart
The G + Broil locked hinge position is so versatile! You can melt cheese on top
of your grilled hamburger in 30 seconds or on top of a deli sandwich in 2-3 min-
utes. Use the G + Broil feature to cook most frozen convenience foods such as
mini pizzas, French bread pizza, fish sticks, chicken tenders, Hot Pockets®, Lean
Pockets®, Poppers®, and French fries with oven like results. Food will cook in
about the same time as indicated on the package directions for conventional
ovens. The G + Broil will also cook delicate flaky fish in minutes. Place the fish
skin side down if possible.
The following times are meant to be used as guidelines only. Times will vary due
to amount and thickness of the food being cooked. Fill the grill with 1 to 2 serv-
ings of food. To be sure that the food is done, use a cooking thermometer. If the
food does need more time to cook, check periodically so you do not over cook.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question
Response
1. Can I cook frozen food on
my George Foreman Grill?
It is preferable that food be defrosted before
placing on the George Foreman Grill. Make
sure that the Grill is preheated, see preheat
instructions, before placing food on the grilling
plate.
2. Why does the Power Light
turn ON & OFF?
As stated in the manual, the Power Light goes
ON to indicate when the Grill's elements are
heating. The Power Light goes OFF when the
proper temperature has been reached. The
thermostat will cycle ON & OFF throughout the
cooking process to maintain proper tempera-
ture.
3. Can I cook kabobs on the
George Foreman Grill?
Yes. In order to protect the non-stick surface
use wooden skewers. We recommend that
you soak the skewers first in water for about
20 minutes. This will keep the skewers from
burning.
4. After cooking with garlic,
how can I remove the smell
of the garlic from the sur-
face of my George Foreman
Grill?
After cleaning your George Foreman Grill
according to the "User Maintenance
Instructions" make a paste of baking soda and
water and spread on the surface of the Grill.
Allow it to sit for a few minutes and then wipe
away with a damp sponge or cloth.
5. How can I cook hot dogs
on my George Foreman
Grill?
Preheat your Grill for 5-minutes. Place the hot
dogs lengthwise on the Grill. Close the Lid and
cook for 2-1/2 minutes or until desired brown-
ing is achieved.
6. Can hash browns be pre-
pared on my George
Foreman Grill?
Yes, self-browning hash browns can be pre-
pared by preheating the Grill for 5 minutes.
Add hash browns onto the Grill surface, close
the Lid, and cook for approximately half the
time stated on the package for oven prepara-
tion.
7. Any other cooking sugges-
tions?
Fresh peppers can be grilled for 5-7 minutes
for skinning purposes.
Grilled cheese sandwiches can also be
cooked on your George Foreman Grill.
