chicken breasts
pork sausages
hamburger patties
steak

I've got the one that you get other plates with the GF. Did some flapjacks in the Oval one.

Enjoy! I love mine. The meat is so juicy and it saves time aswell

The only thing I cook on my GF grill is toasted sandwiches.

As far as I'm concerned it was the biggest waste of money of all time, and lots of people I know who have one have agreed.

Despite making sure it is heated up properly (until the light goes off) all the juice seems to drain out of the meat leaving it almost sort of boiled. We ruined several pieces of good steak on it before giving up.

I thought the meat would have a sort of chargrilled texture, but no. It's really very disappointing.

I hope you have more luck with yours. If not, you'll find it does double up as a pretty good sandwich toaster.

I'm sure GF is laughing all the way to the bank and back again, and there again and back again - the bastard!

Meat mainly; steaks, burgers, bacon, sausages, chicken ? either plain or with coating ? piri piri etc., pork chops

It?s a great time saver, things cook really quickly, but don?t leave them on too long or the meat can dry out.

Must try toasties and waffles in it!

the best way to clean the GF after cooking meat on it, is to heat it up and use a little water and a brush on it - all the gunge comes off really easily.

after toasted sandwiches, I just wipe it clean with kitchen roll.
