By the way I just got this practically new "broken" George Foreman Grill from my brother-in-law Les. It was sitting in his garage in the junk pile smiling at me saying "Reggie take me home with you!!" :D I asked Les before when I saw it somewhere in his kitchen about using it and did mention back then and now that it was broken and they used it only a few times. With my electronics background I knew it could just be a short circuited wire or a fuseable link that was the problem. Sure enough after opening it up it was a burnt wire on one of the electrode terminals. So off I went to Radio Shack to get a soldering iron since my brother took his one back from me last year. I had it on "borrow" indefinitely. ;) I resoldered the joint and plugged the unit back in and it was ready to go! I christened it with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches panini style since I was already in a cheesy fix from the previous post. :) My sister Lynn had a George Foreman Grill and I wanted it before she moved to LA. She ended up taking it with her! :P I already tried grilled pork chops on it and we're loving it! Sorry Les this baby is happy with me!! lol :D
