What is "Broiling?"
"Broiling is simply a cooking method. When you "broil" something, the best way to accomplish this is to place
your meat on a wire rack (on top of a cookie sheet) and set your oven to "broil". All this basically means is the heat is
coming from the top, rather than the bottom of your oven. If you place the meat on a rack, then any of the fat in the meat
drips off when cooked from above. Works particularily good for hamburger (although I still pat them off with
paper towels)
and chicken (if you don't overcook it!), but for steak, I find it makes it very tough (I could be doing it wrong, but I prefer
B.B.Q'ing my steak if possible). I believe roast beef would be an acceptable substitute....it is the same meat, just in a
different form. If you cook it without any fats, pick a lean cut and remove all the fat from any piece you eat, I would think
you would be fine!Amanda

"I bought a George Foreman grill a couple of months ago.
It's being well used on this diet. I've cooked all my meat and fish in it. Tonight I had a lovely salmon steak, I think it
was the nicest I've had. With a huge plate of salad I'm feeling quite full"". -Chris
"My George Foreman has been my best friend on this diet!!
No need to add fat and the excess drips off nicely!" - Octavia
"I have been using my Turbo Cooker. I don't have a George
Foreman grill. Might look into getting one. I like my Turbo Cooker because I can cook my meat in the bottom and steam my veggies
on the rack. One pan, less clean up. " - Shirley
"I had a turbo cooker ( French brand) The glass lid cracked,
I threw it out, now searching for over 3 yrs for a new one! Can you tell me the brand you own, by chance does it have an address
or phone number on it? I would love to buy a new one....HELP! I don't think you need a Foreman, if you have the turbo...I
Have the Foreman, but much preferred the turbo...hope you can give me some info to find a new
turbo! Thanks!" - PizzaChance
"I bought my Turbo Cooker at Walgreen's. I think Wal-Mart
carries them also. There is also a web site you can
order it from. I have the older model that does not have the timer on the lid or the second rack.. I don't care about those
things so I won't be upgrading to the newer version until mine wears out. -Shirley
"I just bought a Foreman grill because others in this
group raved about it, and I love it! I grill chicken or fish without sauces, but then top it with a fat-free cilantro pesto
that I make in the blender, or if fruit is allowed that meal, I use some to make a mango, pineapple or papaya salsa." -Simone
