| You can easily convert regular grilling recipes for cooking on a George Foreman Grill (or dual contact/double sided grill). If a grilling recipe calls for a food item to be cooked 5 minutes on each side (10 minutes total), remember both sides are being cooked at the same time with a dual contact grill so you would only grill for 5 minutes total. |
*Grilling times are for the George Foreman Grill which is a two sided (dual contact) indoor grill, don’t use these cooking time suggestions for regular grill cooking. These are suggested grilling times, make sure meats are fully cooked before serving.

It would be great if you can add grilling times for frozen meats! I frequently forget to set out items to defrost for later cooking! Also, it’s more convienent to take directly from the freezer to ghe grill!
