I use the basket in conjunction with heat-only no-rotation to broil chicken
pieces. I rotate it just enough so that the basket is parallel to the
broiling element. Halfway through cooking, I rotate the basket so that the
"away" side becomes the "toward" side.

I don't own a George Foreman, so I can't compare the two, but I'm happy with
my Ronco.
