T-fal, Electric Grill, OptiGrill 4in1, Stainless Steel, 9 Automatic Cooking Modes, Intelligent Grilling Rare to Well-Done, 1800 Watts, Nonstick Removable Plates, Dishwasher Safe, Indoor, Silver

This grill has been a game changer in my kitchen. The intelligent automatic cooking modes take the guesswork out of grilling — whether I’m doing burgers, chicken, steak, or veggies it hits the mark every time. The stainless steel build feels solid and cleans up easily, and the XL size actually delivers on the “6 servings” claim without crowding the food. It heats up fast, cooks evenly, and gives great sear marks without smoke or fuss. If you want a reliable indoor grill that simplifies mealtime, this one delivers.

This Grill is by far Bar None the best one I have ever used i've been using it since it came in and although the instructions tell you to put a light coating of oil on the panels to help with cleaning later you don't even need it this thing comes perfectly clean with hot soapy water. Hands down like I said the best grill I ever bought it keeps an eye on the food for you doesn't overcook anything in the temperature settings are perfect everything on it is very easy to clean and maintain even if you didn't have time to clean up right away it is amazing how much dirt and crap comes off of it with just soapy warm water I threw my old George Foreman grill out as soon as I saw how this one performed

We have purchased several of the original smaller Tfal Optigrill for ourselves and family. From freezer to plate in just a matter of minutes and great tasting grilled entrees are the reward. We purchased this larger version and it is awesome! Very handy and quick for everything from burgers, seafood, veggies and now, even bacon. BUT - the user MUST use commonsense, READ and follow the cooking directions. There are specified limitations and what one might call ‘rare” might mean something else to another cook. Overall, we have used our smaller grill fir five tears right more without a single glitch. However, there were a few tricks to learn - like how to remove a “rare” steak while letting the second steak continue to cook to “medium well”. Generally, once the item(s) are in the Optigrill, we simply wait for the beeps and lights to tell us when the food is ready. Simple as that. Before you use the Optigrill the first time, hand wash and dry the two cooking plates. Lightly oil with olive oil, heat for a few moments in the grill, let the unit cool, gently wipe the two heating plates and they are ready for your first meal. Use cooking spray before each grilling. We always hand wash the plates when cool but they are DW safe as us the plastic grease catcher. This is our most used cooking appliance other than stove top and iris a remarkable cooking tool. Just follow the very sensible guidelines and you will be very happy. For us, burgers, salmon burgers, boneless pork chops and paninis are weekly favs. Eggplant, tomatoes, sliced potatoes, sliced bell peppers and portobello shrooms are equally fun to cook. This larger unit has no problem grilling two 18oz sirloin steaks to medium rare perfection, the grill marks make them look like they came out of a steakhouse restaurant. Just remember to watch the THICKNESS limitations ...about 1.5 inches is recommended but we have gone a tad thicker occasionally without problems. Aside from true equipment failure of this product, proper care and commonsense application should give a boost to any kitchen and cook. Highly recommend without any renumeration.

Get this bigger XL. I have both that one and the smaller version. The XL can cook more at one time and really does a better and more consistent cooking job than the smaller one.

The T-fal OptiGrill is an evolution of the George Forman grill. Both use the same concept of electrical heating elements within non-stick grilling plates. The main difference is that the Forman grill has a large cooking area, and you can grill quite a few items at the same time. You flip them when necessary and grill the other side. The T-fal grill has top and bottom plates, so you grill both sides at the same time. The T-fal grill uses more advanced technology to set and cook to the desired temperature. Whereas the Forman grill used a simple knob to set temperature, the T-fal has a dial of various colors intended to simulate "doneness", so the cooking stops when sufficiently done (supposedly automatic). It takes some trial and error to find the correct setting for the degree of "doneness". The colors on the dial are not always accurate, and require some manual intervention. For example, small loin lamb chops, which require only moderate heat, generally do not over-cook. But larger and thicker steaks, which require more heat, generally over-cook at the suggested setting. It takes some practice to attain "medium well done". After a few uses, you will become quite adept. Vegetables are relatively easy to do properly. The biggest drawback with the T-fal grill is its small grilling area. If you are cooking for a number of people, you will have to do a few batches of chops, steaks, veggies, etc. to get the quantity you want. Not only does this take considerable time, you also have the problem of keeping the earlier batches warm. Unless you have a warming oven, you will use the microwave to reheat, which in itself tends to overcook the meat. While the grill marks produced by the T-fal are quite impressive, they do not impart any flavor to the meat, as you get with a charcoal or gas grill, so you will have to add spices to your taste. All in all, for a very small group of people, this is a useful product, but due to the small grilling area as well as the trial and error needed to attain desired "doneness", I've given it 4 stars. For a single person or couple or very small familily, it's easy to use and produces a very tasty product, but I wouldn't recommend it to replace the traditional family BBQs.

Why using a stove, an oven, a grill and tons of mess with saucepans and pans, when one can have this Optigrill ? Outstanding! For the first use, I chose a recipe from the App (MyTefal) : very easy to use and easy to clean, good quality, versatile… perfect !

Cumple con los términos de cocción que promete. Fácil de limpiar. Deja la carne jugosa. Para los que dicen que no funciona o que terminan calculando el tiempo manualmente, les recomiendo leer el manual. Me estaba pasando que no dejaba completar el ciclo de precalentado y se pasaba a manual, lean su instructivo. Las recomendaciones de temperatura para vegetales están bien calculadas. Filete mignon de 1.5 pulgadas quedó perfecto a término medio y tres cuartos. Salmón perfectamente a término medio con piel y la piel no se pegó en la parrilla, quedó perfecto. Lo más simple como sándwiches y tocino sin mayor problema a la perfección. Recomiendo hacer una copia de la tabla de colores y cocción para tenerla a la mano en la cocina. Excelente compra, buena calidad de materiales, superó mis expectativas. Altamente recomendable.

I purchased the T-fal OptiGrill about four months ago. I live in an apartment without a stove or oven, so cooking meat was pretty much off the table. I've been grilling up a storm since I bought it, using it maybe four or five times a week. Cleaning The non-stick trays are on a slant so the run-off grease is collected in a basket. Both the trays and the basket can be dismantled for easy cleaning. Since the lid closes, I haven't had to deal with any spattering on the nearby counters of the rest of the machine. Food Quality I have cooked sausages, pork, fish, steak, and chicken in various sizes and thicknesses. They've almost all been cooked to perfection, with the exception of the pork (which were small, thin medallions, and came out dry). I've even cooked chicken from frozen, and it turned out perfectly grilled and very juicy. Efficiency The timer beeps at each stage of cooking, so you know how far along it is. For what it's worth, the beeps are loud but not harsh-sounding. You can hear them from another room but they won't startle you if you're still in the kitchen. The grill itself has settings for different kinds of meat, and a manual setting in case you're grilling something a bit more unusual. It comes with both a manual and cookbook to help you further. However, if you want to grill vegetables, you'll have to turn to Google for the best settings since they aren't included in either book. I find the grill to be an ideal size: large enough to cook >8 sausages at once, small enough that it doesn't take up too much counter space.

This is a very nice kitchen appliance. Cooks raw foods perfectly every time. Frozen foods not so much. That said, it warms up fairly quickly, beeps when it’s ready, measures the thickness of your food automatically and starts to cook all in one swift motion. Listen for the next series of beeps and watch for your desired tenderness colour on the led indicator and your food will be juicy inside and nicely grilled outside. I love sausages and this cooks them perfectly with no grease remaining and with no flame there are no nasty flare ups. The grills themselves detach with a push of a button and clean up super quick with a rinse of hot water and the toss them in the dishwasher, come perfectly clean every time. Quality seems top notch, almost restaurant quality. Very happy with this purchase as my apartment does not allow BBQ’s and this fills that need.
