A fascinating emblem of the ’90s, it inspires a complicated nostalgia
, then CEO of Salton, which would purchase the patent to the grill, the slope was originally intended to allow home cooks to scrape fajita fillings directly into a tortilla. It seems that the marketing team figured out the fat-sliding part pretty quickly, though. Once they did, the grill became an emblem of celebrity endorsement, ’90s diet culture, and the power of television at a time just before the internet became widely available.
I was around 12 or 13 when I started using our grill. While the ads that featured Foreman, a boxer fresh off his second comeback grilling fish in a home kitchen, promising to “knock out” the fat, didn’t make much of an impression on me, I do remember the one that. By the time that ad came out, the grill had proven to be a hit with college students, an easy, dorm-safe device that didn’t require walking down the hall to the communal kitchen. Ours was purple, which I thought was cool.
At some point I realized the George Foreman Grill was a step above the microwave, with just enough “cooking” required to make me feel like a sophisticated adult swanning around the kitchen. I made grilled cheese, chicken breasts, quesadillas, and burgers both beef and Boca. The food was hot and had sexy grill marks like, I hate to say it, the food on TV. It was also pretty foolproof. Oil didn’t start smoking if I left it on for slightly too long, and there was no risk of burning my mom’s pans.
