/ck/ can you help me understand?

I don't get the whole Foreman Grill thing, especially not this one that's meant as a replacement for a proper grill.

I've always been working off of the understanding that when cooking things like steak, salmon, burgers, tuna, etc you want to get a decent sear on the outside to hold in the juices because that's where the flavor is. I was taught by my aunt who studied all over Europe when she became a chef that you never want to press a burger or a cut of tuna or a fillet of salmon because you squeeze out all of the flavor, and by cooking/grilling this way ever since I moved out on my own (20 years ago) I've gotten nothing but praise because of how moist and flavorful my meats are...

So when I see this... Thing... It's like an abomination to me. It "smashes out the fat" and supposedly does so without losing any of the flavor, but I cannot comprehend how that's possible! That's like saying "I shot someone in the head, causing a fatal wound. They're alive and well and coming over for lunch" - the two do not work together at all.

So please, /ck/ halp me. Do you like/use the Foreman? Are you a chef and can explain how you can smash the fuck out of a burger and it retains its flavor and doesn't become a disgusting hockey puck? Plaes haaallllp

I have a standard sized george foreman that I use fairly often. It doesn't "smash out the fat". The upper part rests on top of the meat to sear to top and cook it evenly, but it's not heavy enough to squeeze out fat/juices. Fat cooks out of the meat and rather than the meat sitting in the fat it runs off due to the angled cooking surface.

I've never had a problem keeping things i cook on the george foreman moist. I cook pork chops, chicken, sausage, bacon, eggs, and vegetables with it. It's definitely no substitute for a grill and I wouldn't use it to cook better cuts of meat, but it's a useful kitchen appliance if you use it right

I feel bad for anyone who doesn't own a charcoal grill and smoker. I consider it a necessity like having a water heater and air conditioning.

Myth, and a pretty obvious one. The juices are not hermetically sealed inside the meat just because the outside is burnt a bit. Cooking meat does not create a water proof seal.

Sealing your meat properly will help hold more of the juices in.
