We were looking for something similar that would grill and drip out the fat but something that was Teflon free. I was having a hard time finding anything for years. Everything out there seemed non-stick coated. I finally found a lot of Duraceramic products at Walmart which is great. I found a ceramic plated alternative to the George Foreman grill which is Free of PTFE & PFOA Oster Panini Maker, Black - Walmart.com

The description says: The Oster Panini Maker, Black, cooks up to 20 percent faster, which helps you to save time, energy and money. It is designed with an innovative and unique DuraCeramic non-stick coating that will not peel or flake. It also lasts up to four times longer than standard non-stick coatings. This panini machine is free of PTFE and PFOA chemicals, so it is safer for your family. Not only can you make a panini, but the item also opens 180 degrees to provide you with a flat surface for indoor, counter-top grilling. You can adjust the DuraCeramic Oster grill for variable bread thickness.

Oster DuraCeramic Panini Maker, Black:

Unique and innovative DuraCeramic non-stick ceramic coating
4 times more durable
Won't flake or peel
Natural ceramic coating is easy to clean and is healthy as it is free of PTFE and PFOA chemicals
Cooks up to 20 percent faster saving time and energy
2-in-1 functionality, works as a panini maker or opens up to 180 degrees for grilling
Floating hinge system adjusts for variable sandwich thicknesses
1-year limited warranty
Dimensions of the DuraCeramic Oster grill: 10"L x 13"W x 5.25"H
Model# CKSTPM20W-ECO

I am so excited to get it :dancing: :dance5: :laughing12: :dance4:

I bought the Oster ceramic belgian waffle maker at Target.

Make sure you heat that thing up OUTSIDE the house the first time. My waffle maker smelled awful! But - after cooking the first batch outside, all is well!!!! I love the thing!

Hello all:

I just googled "bird safe grill" and found this thread. I registered to inform you (and any future googlers) that George Foreman now also has a line of ceramic grills that are free of the nonstick chemicals that are toxic to birds.

Actually, I thought I looked at those at Christmas. I wound up with a different ceramic grill. Do they say they are free of both PTFE and PFOA?
