Congratulations on your purchase of George Foreman's Grill-The-Fat-Away Grill
Pan—the new heavyweight champion of stove top grilling! Making your cooking
healthier is our goal! We have used only the finest materials to create this quality,
durable non-stick Grill Pan. An efficient and subtle slope design allows you to grill
foods while the fat and grease run off to the sides of the Grill Pan! The large ribs in
your Grill Pan feature a slight rise at the ends and small "grips" in the middle to
keep food in place—while fat and grease drip away! The stay-cool handle adds to
the quality and convenience of the Grill Pan! Your George Foreman Grill-The-Fat-
Away Non-Stick Grill Pan also includes a cast iron Meat Press (P/N 21141). The
use of the Meat Press is optional in cooking with the Grill Pan. To use the Meat
Press, simply place on top of the food you are grilling. It will speed the cooking
time and press out additional grease, fat and water from the food. Turn food during
cooking as you normally would.
Features
• Efficient slope design moves grease and fat to the sides of the pan
• Parallel rib design "holds" food in place—away from fat and grease
• High rise sides keep splatter to a minimum
• Convenient "easy-pour" side spout
• Oversized 12"+interior cooking surface
• Cast aluminum with non-stick coating for superior heating and cooking
performance
• Heavyweight Meat Press helps take the fat out; plus, quickens the total grilling
time
• Stainless steel, stay-cool Handle is riveted for extra strength
• Second Handle increases flexibility and ease of use
• Oven safe to 390˚F (325˚F w/Lid)—you can complete the rest of your meal right
in the Grill Pan
• Tempered Glass Lid (P/N 21140-Round - P/N 21139-Square) intensifies heat for
quicker cooking times; easy see-through cooking; extended lid handle
Before First Use
Wash the Grill Pan, Glass Lid and Meat Press in warm, soapy water with a sponge
or soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Condition the non-stick surface by gently
rubbing a light cooking oil across the entire interior cooking surface. Wipe excess
oil with a paper towel.
Using your George Foreman Cookware
1. Place your George Foreman Grill Pan onto stove top. Always use the largest
burner for stability and even heat distribution.
2. Turn on burner; always use low to medium heat. Your Grill Pan is designed to con-
duct heat evenly and quickly. It is not necessary to use high heat settings. High heat
settings may also discolor your Grill Pan. To brown or sear meat, preheat Grill Pan
on a medium setting for 1-2 minutes.
3. Place food onto "ribs" in Grill Pan. The ribs are specially designed to "hold"
food in place while allowing fat and grease to drip down and to the sides of the
Grill Pan.

Using your George Foreman Cookware (cont.)
4. Turn foods as necessary using a hard plastic or wooden cooking utensil. Avoid
using sharp-edged metal utensils as these can damage the non-stick surface.
CAUTION: The Grill Pan becomes hot during cooking; always use Handles
or Knobs and/or oven mitts to prevent injury from burns.
5. Allow Grill Pan, Lid and Meat Press to cool and wash in warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. We do not recommend cleaning in the dishwasher.
Important Hints and Tips
CAUTION:
• Do not use this Pan under an oven broiler, over a campfire, or in a microwave
oven.
• When using with a gas stove, be sure to use the gas grate provided with the
stove. See manufacturer's instructions provided with gas stove.
• Always use the largest burner for stability and even heating.
• This Grill Pan is made of cast aluminum and, therefore, is heavy. Be sure to use
both Handles when lifting Pan or pouring ingredients from Pan.
• Use a medium heat setting. The superior design of your Grill Pan ensures quick
and even heat distribution. When using a gas heating source, if flame is extend-
ing up, along sides of pan, reduce the flame.
•The Grill Pan becomes hot during cooking; always use Handles or
Knobs and/or oven mitts to prevent injury from burns.
• When placing Grill Pan onto burner, always turn Handles in to prevent them
from being "pulled down" by children or bumped accidentally. Do not turn
Handle so it is over another hot burner.
• Although (with time and use) minor scratches, discoloration, or stains may
appear on your Grill Pan, they WILL NOT affect the Grill Pan's non-stick perfor-
mance. Wipe minor stains with a damp cloth to remove. For stubborn spots or
stains, use a non-abrasive plastic mesh puff or pad. Do not use steel wool,
coarse or harsh pads or cleansers, or oven cleaners as these can damage the
non-stick surface. If a spotted white film appears (from water minerals,food
starch, etc.), remove with a sponge dampened with water and lemon juice or
vinegar.
• Your George Foreman Grill Pan is oven-safe to 390˚ (325˚F with Lid). Although
the Handles are designed to stay cool on the stove top, always use oven mitts
when removing Grill Pan from oven.
• The Lid provided with your George Foreman Grill Pan is made of tempered glass.
Although tempered glass offers maximum safety and durability, use care not to
drop or hit Lid against another object. Do not use Lid if glass is cracked or bro-
ken. Always lift Lid by its Handle.
• Do not leave empty Grill Pan on a hot burner or allow liquids to boil dry.
