I don't think a Foreman grill (or the expensive imitation from
Cuisinart) is the right way to cook bone-in meat. However, meat patties,
fish fillets or chicken fillets marinated in Tandoori or barbeque
sauces work very. Unless you cook things to death, the grill is easy to
clean. If you remember, wiping down with a wet sponge immediately after
cooking is helpful. I'd not attempt to cook a whole trout either; a
standard broiler is best.
