George Foreman Immersa Medium Grill 28310 review

About the George Foreman Immersa Medium

The Immersa Medium 28310 is an electric contact grill that cooks food between two heated plates. The control panel unclips from the plates. With it off, the brand says the grill can go in the dishwasher or be fully submerged in the sink, and it says the washability was checked over 100 dishwasher cycles.

A floating hinge lets the lid sit level on thicker food such as chunky burgers, chicken breasts or a filled sandwich. A drip tray fits under the plates to catch fat. The grill stands upright for storage and the cord tucks away, so it needs little cupboard room.

There is no temperature dial. An indicator light shows power and ready status, and the brand says it preheats up to 62% faster than earlier George Foreman removable-plate models. It is rated at 1300W and is for indoor household use only. One magazine reviewer found the light helpful, but also found it hard to judge doneness exactly without a heat setting.

What owners report about the George Foreman Immersa Medium

We found little written owner feedback for this exact model that we could open, so we can't describe a pattern of long-term durability.

What we can report comes from a magazine reviewer who used the 28310: cleaning was the standout, with both hand washing and the dishwasher leaving the plates free of grease. The grill heated quickly, and the green ready light helped. The same reviewer overcooked chicken breasts and missed having a temperature control.

Who the George Foreman Immersa Medium suits

Buy it if you cook for one to four people, want burgers, sausages, chicken and toasties without a long clean-up, and have a small kitchen. It is light, stores upright and is easy to wash.

Look elsewhere if you want control over doneness. The Tefal OptiGrill+ GC713D40 reads food thickness and signals rare, medium and well done. For serious steak searing, the Sage by Heston Blumenthal the Smart Grill Pro BGR840BSS is the better fit. For feeding larger groups, the George Foreman Indoor Outdoor BBQ Grill 22460 has more room.
