OK.. Grilled veggies are easy... I usually grill things like tomatoes, a few onions, some zucchini...

It's so easy it's crazy. Firsit of all I marinade the veggies in a mixture of something liquid. Depending on what I am making it with.

My favorite is (used dried or fresh herbs - I prefer fresh :)):
Veggies:
Tomatoes - sliced thickly
Sweet Onions - sliced, but NOT separated into rings
Zuchinni - Cut in half and slice LENTGHwise

Marinade/Seasoning:
A bit of oil
Some fresh rosemary
Parsley
Basil
thyme
majoram

Then I add as much water as oil and shake vigorously. (Think salad dressing type thing)
I marinade the veggies for a little while - 20 or 30 minutes) then I just lay the veggies onthe grill (don't break apart the onions until after cooking.) I use a brush to brush on additional seasonings from the marinde and just grill til done. Super Super easy!

You can do this with any grilled veggie recipe. This was just what I came up with one day while playing in my kitchen. If you want a little extra zip you can sub white wine for the water. Or add some wine vinegar. Add ro take any spices you wish...

he point is.. don't be afraid to try something... just have FUN!

Oh... and if you decide to grill asparagus (really good)... grill th asparagus plain and pour your sauce on when it's done! Then toss! Yum!

Asparagus sauce:
Butter, garlic, parsley, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice

Any questions?
Sorry I can't post measurements.. I don't believe in them! :)

We got a grill from GE called a "Contact Grill" that's the same basic idea as the GF grill. only the contact plates come out to wash!!! I loved it and we used it for a couple of years, till the non-stick started coming off. Recently went to buy another and couldn't find the same kind. I got another GF type grill (different brand name)that works well to, but the plates don't come out. I was a little spoiled with the other. But we use ours all the time for burgers, chicken, sausage, bacon and grilled sandwiches... LOVE IT!

Daughter wanted some toast and sausage this morning before school. Normally I would have said no to the sausage on a weekday as I can hardly get us out the door in time as it is, but today I just popped a few on the GF grill and tadaaa--instant wondermom! This thing sat in the cupboard for two years and now I just can't get enough of it!

Keep your grill uses coming, please. In time ours just might earn its keep.
P.S. DS makes great garlic toast on the GFG.

I use a Hamilton Beach grill. The contact plates come off for easy cleaning and it can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. Much easier than the GF grill.

I have the GF lean mean grilling machine with the bun warmer top.
I use the grill virtually every day, mostly for breakfast sausage or bacon. No splattering and you don't have to stand over it and watch it as with a skillet. I wake up half dead every morning and don't dare try to use dangerous machines.
Also cook hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, grilled vegetables, chicken breast, salmon, and most of the other things mentioned. I don't like to do steaks, though, because it presses the juices out and leaves the meat really dry. Haven't tried hash-browns yet, but that sounds good.
The bun warmer is useless, wish I had gotten a timer instead.
As to the cleaning, I wipe with a dry or dampened paper towel while the grill is slightly warm. However, I have found that an everyday scrubbing is not necessary. The residue from whatever was cooked the day before sort of browns on the outside of the food and imparts a crispy, delicious flavor, which is great if you like blackened food (I do).
I am careful to use only plastic utensils, and never scrub with a plastic scrubber, those things act like sandpaper.
My non-stick surface is not coming off and I have been using it about a year.

We bought MIL one for Christmas. Reading all these posts makes me want to open it up and save it for myself!

Melfie, easier than pie (can't make a decent one of those either.LOL). Preferably thicker slices of bread (Texas toast works great), if the bread is a day or 2 old even better. Spread some garlic butter or garlic spread (we get it in a little tub) on one or both sides (depends on how intense you want it). Slap them on the hot grill and about 6-8 mins later you should have nice toasty garlic bread.
