Keeping carcinogens away from food
Cooking food on a gas or charcoal grill carries the risk of introducing carcinogens into the air. The byproducts of cooking with those kinds of grills can increase the risk of certain cancers. George Foreman electric grills emit lower amounts of smoke, helping cut down on the release of carcinogens.
Many scientists believe that carcinogens in food and in the atmosphere that come from grilling are released in small enough amounts that the health risk is minimal. But why take chances when an electric grill reduces that risk even more?
Carcinogens are also linked to fat that is present in meat. When fat drips into an open flame, the flare-up produces a dark-colored smoke that, when contacted with the meat, renders it carcinogenic. George Foreman electric grills feature drip cups that help prevent flare-ups.
Charred meat is thought to have more carcinogens, and there's an increased chance of that when using gas or charcoal grills. An electric grill gives you better heat control, thus reducing the chance for scorching meat.
