Someone recently recommended to me that I get a George Foreman grill. As a long-time apartment dweller, I am always leery of buying stand-alone countertop appliances, due to the clutter-to-utility ratio. Plus, these things often duplicate what you can already do on the stove or in the oven (cupcake baker, anyone?

So. Anybody have one? How often do you use it? Do you just grill hamburgers or do you make other things, too? Can you use the stovetop or oven to do the same things? And what are the philosophical and moral implications of buying an appliance named for a guy who named all of his sons after himself?
