George Foreman has been simplifying indoor grilling for decades. This Contact Submersible model solves the single biggest gripe with previous designs: the messy cleanup. You can remove the control panel and place the entire grill body in the dishwasher. That’s a legitimate game-changer for a Tuesday night.

The 1200-watt element heats up quickly, and the adjustable temperature control gives you actual command. You’re not just blasting everything on high. This means properly melting cheese on a sandwich without burning the bread, or getting a better sear on a chicken breast. The non-stick ceramic plates perform as expected—food releases easily and the included drip tray manages grease effectively.

It’s still a contact grill, so it won’t replace an open grill for char. But for what it is, the execution is thoughtful. The convenience of a truly dishwasher-safe body makes it a practical, frequently-used appliance instead of a cabinet relic. Over 5,000 customer ratings strongly suggest they got this formula right.
