George Foreman’s Power Burger
A flavorful hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat
cousin! It pays to eat meals that minimize meat. To reduce saturated fat
in a typical burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up
for it with plant-based ingredients. Bread crumbs and chopped vegeta-
bles have been added in this recipe. You could also try cooked rice, other
grains or cereal. In addition, choose whole wheat buns; they typically
contain one less fat gram than regular or even reduced-calorie buns.
If you settle for nothing less than a cheeseburger, Swiss cheese is 1
gram lower in fat than Cheddar, American or Monterey Jack with 8
grams of fat versus 9 in each ounce of cheese. However, reduced fat
cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss contain half the fat with 4 grams per
ounce. Mustard contains 1 gram of fat per tablespoon versus a whop-
ping 11 grams of fat in a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Top your burger in healthful style with dark, leafy green lettuce, shredded
cabbage, fresh cilantro, basil or spinach.
3/4 cup chopped vegetables such as yellow onions, 
green onions, zucchini, parsley (can be sautéed)
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2-1/4 lbs. lean ground beef
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the vegetables and bread
crumbs. Add the ground beef and mix well.
• Shape the mixture into twelve 4-inch wide patties.
• Preheat the Electric Barbecue Grill on Setting 4 for 15 minutes. 
• Place the patties on the Electric Barbecue Grill.
• Cover and cook 12-13 minutes. Turn and cook another 12-13 minutes
or until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
• Serves 12

The Champ’s Sausage Without Guilt
Try this sizzling sausage patty that not only tastes good, but is also good
for you. Choose ground turkey breast, which is lower in fat than ground
turkey containing dark meat and skin. Turkey, especially the light meat, is
a good source of niacin, which is an important B vitamin needed to main-
tain a healthy nervous system. Early symptoms of niacin deficiency that
appear in the nervous system are apprehension, irritability, depression,
weakness, and loss of memory. To prevent niacin deficiency, include
plenty of lean turkey, fish, whole wheat, potatoes, corn flower, eggs,
broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots.

2/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely snipped dried apples or
1 cup finely chopped fresh red Delicious apple
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
4 Tbsp. snipped fresh parsley
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. ground sage
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. black pepper

How To Use the George Foreman 
Electric Grill
IMPORTANT:Before operating this Grill outdoors, see “Special
Considerations for Outdoor Use” in the “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS” and
Additional Important Safeguards sections of this manual.
1. Turn the Temperature Control Probe to the OFF position. Attach
securely into the Probe Receptacle. Make sure the Probe is pushed
in as far as possible to assure proper connection.
2.To preheat: Use the Handle to close the Lid and plug the cord into a
120V AC grounded outlet. Turn the dial on the Temperature Control
Probe to the desired temperature setting. The light on the
Temperature Control Probe will illuminate and the Grilling Plate will
begin heating. Allow the unit to preheat for at least 15 minutes
before use.
3. Carefully remove the Lid and place food onto the Grill. Cover for most
foods. Cook until done, turning at least once halfway through cooking
time for most foods. Adjust temperature as needed. 
4. You can control the moisture of foods to some extent by opening or
closing the Lid Vent. Turning the Lid Handle/Vent counter-clockwise
will open the vent for drier cooking. Turning the Lid Handle/Vent
clockwise will reduce the vent opening and retain moisture within
the food. 
CAUTION:  Condensation may collect on the inside of the Lid when
cooking. Use caution when removing lid. 
5. The light on the Temperature Control Probe will cycle on and off as
the thermostat maintains the proper temperature. This is normal

keep foods warm for a short period of time.
6. When the food is cooked, remove with spatula or a plastic or wooden
utensil. Be sure to always use either plastic or wooden utensils so as
not to scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or
knives as these can damage the coating on the cooking plates.
CAUTION:  Do not leave any utensils on the Grill Plate surface while
it is plugged in or hot.
7. When finished cooking, turn the Temperature Control Probe to the
OFF position. The indicator light will go off. Unplug and allow to cool
before disassembling and cleaning.

Grilling Hints and Tips
• Use tender cuts of meat for grilling.
• Marinate tougher cuts of meat to tenderize them before grilling.
• To avoid drying out meat and fish, turn only once and do not pierce.
• To turn meat and fish, use a large flat plastic or wooden spatula to
support the food.
• Place meat or chicken to be roasted in a shallow baking pan. Using
oven mitts carefully place pan on preheated Grill, taking care not to
scratch the non-stick surface. Place Lid on the Barbecue Grill.
NOTE:  Just resting the baking container on top of the non-stick sur-
face will not damage it. Do not use saucepans or plates
• Use only plastic or wooden utensils on non-stick surfaces.
• Adjust heat setting gradually and only as necessary.  Cooking foods
at too high a temperature can cause them to dry out.
• When grilling fish or chicken breast fillets, tuck extremely thin parts
under to prevent overcooking.
Suggested Cooking Chart
The following times are meant to be used as guidelines only. Cooking
times will vary due to the thickness of the meat being cooked. To be sure
that the meat is truly done, use a meat thermometer. If the meat does
need more time to cook, simply place the meat back on the Grill for 5
minute increments and check periodically so you dont over cook.
