I don’t like leftover hamburgers either. They are edible if wrapped in foil with some water and heated in a toaster oven, but gross if you use the microwave.
I’ll try and use any extra ground beef the next day and cook it then.
I do not understand Foreman grills. The problems they solve seem to only create new problems with something extra to store that is a pain to clean.

Yeah, i was going to ask, where do you store that grill? How much effort is it to take it out of storage and put it where you can use it? How much effort is it to clean?
Frying pans store neatly in the cabinet next to the stove, can be removed with one hand, and are fairly easy to clean.
The record for fastest growing plant in terms of length per day belongs to bamboo. Some varieties can grow as much as 35 inches per day.
In terms of biomass, seems like duckweed holds the record with doubling times in as little as a day.

I haven’t seen a George Foreman grill in the wild since 2008.
Either I’m firing up the grill or I’m using some type of pan on the stove. The only good use case for it IMO is paninis or similar grilled sandwiches, which would be difficult to adequately replicate without the press.

Planting bamboo in the yard of an annoying neighbor is one of the worst things you can do. Just make sure the lawn is far away from your property.

My FIL still uses his Foreman grill all the time. It has not left the counter since he got it 20 years ago.

Not all GFs are created equal. Mine has removable plates that you throw in the dishwasher… easy peasy. Sometimes there’s a grease splatter on the plastic that I wipe off with a sponge but it’s still pretty easy.
Every once in a while the dishwasher doesn’t do a good job and I have to hand wash after they come out of the dishwasher to remove a bit of residue the dishwasher didn’t get, but even that is no more difficult than any other hand wash job… really easier because the dishwasher already got the bulk of it.
I wouldn’t want the kind where the plates aren’t removable.
I probably use it at least once a week so mostly it lives on the counter. It has a spot in a cabinet where it goes if I want the counter space… such as I am hosting a dinner party or baking three kinds of Christmas cookies or Thanksgiving pies or whatnot. But I’d say that if you came over on a random day there’s a 90% chance it would be sitting on the counter.
Huh… I would have guessed kudzu.
Naw… hot dogs, burgers, salmon patties, brats… all better on the GF than the stove. Grilling on a real grill is better still, but they’re almost as good on the GF.
I also use it to reheat leftover steak. There’s no good way to do that, at least not that I’m aware of. But the GF seems to be the least bad way.
If it looks like I’m not going to finish the steak I try to eat around the edges and save the rarest part in the middle as it will reheat the best.
Kudzu grows really fast at something close to a foot a day. I googled that after I saw the bamboo record

Yeah I remembered seeing a comparison between the speed of a sloth vs kudzu.
Egads. Someone has done you wrong for you to say a thing like that.

Kudzus must go through a lot of socks.
Maybe. I’ve had plenty of grilled burgers that were significantly worse than ones I do on the GF, but that was due to the way they were made / cooked. Some people add a crap ton of not-meat into ground beef, roll it into what can only be described as a large perfectly spherical meatball, throw it onto the grill, burn the outside all to hell while the inside is still half-raw, press all of the juices out of it, slap it on a bun, and call it a burger. 
I’d much rather have one of my George Foreman burgers that is flat, and actually tastes like beef, and cooked medium with just a bit of pink inside and no burned bits anywhere than one of those monstrosities.
But the best grill burgers are better than the best GF burgers… I’ll concede that much.
Maybe you’ve only had badly prepared GF burgers?

In 1988 Wyoming was the last state in the Union to raise the legal drinking age to 21.
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND —
New Zealand on Tuesday passed into law a unique plan to phase out tobacco smoking by imposing a lifetime ban on young people buying cigarettes.
The law states that tobacco can’t ever be sold to anybody born on or after January 1, 2009.
It means the minimum age for buying cigarettes will keep going up and up. In theory, somebody trying to buy a pack of cigarettes 50 years from now would need ID to show they were at least 63 years old.
But health authorities hope smoking will fade away well before then. They have a stated goal of making New Zealand smoke-free by 2025.
The new law also reduces the number of retailers allowed to sell tobacco from about 6,000 to 600 and decreases the amount of nicotine allowed in tobacco that is smoked.
