I used ours a couple of times and missed the flavoursome loveliness that you get with other methods. I'm sure the GF is healthy, but then I can always knock up a salad

cook most things in a griddle pan, but i use the forman thing for fish.
sea bream is my particular fave followed by a bit of red mullet or sea bass.
NEVER NEVER cook steak in formans machine it tastes kak and comes out like rubber

I have a hard time seeing the point of these things. If I'm cooking a decent steak the last thing I want is to kill its flavour by draining all the fat out. Chicken breasts are very low in fat anyway. And if I wanted to cut down on my fat intake I wouldn't eat burgers or sausages.
Does anyone rate them as more than a marketing gimmick?
