I would not want to be without a George Foreman grill. . Ron, you are right

Another thought about oven French fries:
You don't have to flip them over if you spray the single layer of
Cut potatoes with cooking spray before baking. You line the
Bottom of the pan with aluminum foil and spray that, too, so that the 2 layers
of
Cooking spray makes it possible to oven-fry them
After you take the food out of the George Foreman, wet paper towels and place
them in the grill and close the lid. After it cools enough to handle, clean up
is much easier.

Butter is tastier, and it is a natural product. With my 9 by 13-inch pan,
