Hulk Hogan vs George Foreman – Steel Cage Match!

28 May 2009 2 Comments

Although I would pay good money to see the Hulkster clothesline George Foreman, it’s probably not going to happen. But since Hulk Hogan now has an indoor grill, we’ll put it in the ring with George Foreman’s grill and see who’s worthy of the title of best indoor grill.

The Hulk Hogan Grill won because of 1 unique feature, read on to see what it is…

Everyone knows about the George Foreman Grill, but Hulk Hogan’s Ultimate Grill is going after it’s title as champion of indoor grills and it’s not pulling any punches. So after a few of my readers asked me to review it, I thought what better way to see which might be victorious than a head to head steel cage match! Yeah baby!

Since I already had a George Foreman grill, all I had to do was get me a Hulk Hogan Grill. They didn’t have it in any stores in my area so I ordered it direct from the manufacturer, who had the best price anyway.

While I waited for the grill to come in, I thought about what menu I would cook on the two grills that would really put them to the test. Here’s what I came up with:

Steaks (burgers were just too easy, had to see how they handled a nice fat rib eye)

Zucchini – the wife says I have to eat my veggies

Quesadillas – with steak and lots of gooey cheese – yeah baby

Breakfast – traditional eggs, bacon, and hash browns

I started off with the zucchini and the steaks. Both the Hulk Hogan grill and the George Foreman grill did a fantastic job. I expected them to perform the same on this test since this is their primary function and my assumptions were correct. The zucchini came out great. I split it in half, brushed it with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. The steaks came out beautifully. They were cooked evenly and came out a perfect medium rare!

I’ve made plenty of quesadillas in a pan before and they can be a pain to flip so the indoor grills make it much easier. I have to give this round over to the George Foreman grill since it comes with a plate just for that. It gives you the perfect cut lines which is kind of convenient, but certainly not a deal breaker.

Score so far: George Foreman Grill=3 / Hulk Hogan Grill=2

The final round was the breakfast round. This is the round where the Hulk Hogan Grill delivered the knockout blow. Since it opens up totally flat, and gives you two cooking surfaces with separate temperature controls, it doubles your cooking space and works more like two skillets. This was great because I could cook my bacon and eggs on one side and hash browns on the other. With the Foreman, I had to do this in separate phases.

Conclusion:

So although the two grills were pretty evenly matched for the most part…

The Hulk Hogan Grill is the champion in my opinion because of the fact that it could open up flat. This is a very useful appliance that I use a couple times a week now in my house.
