Tefal GC722D40 Optigrill Plus X-Large Grill with 9 Automatic Settings and Cooking Sensor, Non Stick Removable Plates, Automatic Settings and Cooking Sensor, Stainless Steel, Xl

I have used this grill for well over 2 years and had helped me cook my meats in a healthy and lean way. I like the function that you can set the rarity of how you like your meats with the heat level ensuring food is cooked at the correct temperature whether it is a steak or burger etc. I have even used this grill to cook cheese toasties as well as paninis and always tastes amazing.The plates are of flawless quality and it is incredibly easy to pop them off and use in the dishwasher and fits nicely in most household cupboards due to its compact size. I would highly recommend buying this over a George Foreman grill or any other leading competitors for that matter.

Been using mine for months and its 100% worth it. Easy to use and clean, cooks food very well.

Wonderful product . As a busy family we were looking for a device that would allow us to quickly prepare a meal . From delicious crispy panini to wonderful juicy Sunday grilled meat . Becon and sausages for breakfast grilled to perfection. Efficiently everything grilled under minimal supervision . Heat levels working very good . We recommend this product to all fans of grilling.

Such an amazing indoor grill. My husband convinced me to buy this because our air fryer broke. Unrelated, I know, but I stumbled upon this and my husband saw it and wouldn't stop telling me how great this would be. He even said we don't need a replacement for our air fryer haha.In all honesty I'm so happy we went for it. So far we've made sausages, chicken breast, pork shoulder, bacon, tomatoes, carrots (with the tomato setting) and crispy potatoes. Absolutely fantastic. They all tasted out of this world. Personally I really disliked grilled tomatoes but these were so delicious compared to anything else I've tried before. And guess what! Everything came out nice and crispy just like we wanted it.Some people said the food tastes like it's been made on a normal bbq grill, however I wouldn't say so. It tastes delicious but not quite the same. I'm beyond happy with the taste but just wanted to point out that you might think the same as me!In terms of functionality - it's super easy to use. The programs are very straightforward and they work really well & they're quite inclusive too. Some programs have multiple cooking options such as: rare, medium rare, well done & crispy. The display is big enough to see even from a distance. The timer beeping is loud enough to hear from the other room but not too loud to drive you crazy haha. It's also great at detecting the thickness & calculating the time for cooking. It was always bang on for all the foods mentioned above.Cleaning - extremely easy to clean. I clean it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge and it doesn't require scrubbing. The plates pop in and out so easily and you can easily clean them in between dishes with a paper towel. Bonus: you can't put the grill plates back wrong because they're not interchangeable. So nice!Size - it's not too big and not too small. For what it does I'd say it's very compact for a kitchen appliance.Smoke - it does release a bit of "smoke" which is mostly steam. It doesn't smell bad at all - just smells like food being cooked! And I'd say it's only steam because of how hot the grill plates are. No need to open windows to let the "smoke" go out at all. Super convenient.The only thing I wish was a little different is - a longer cable! It's pretty short in my opinion but not too bad. But it's not enough take away points from the grill.Overall extremely great and we're stoked to have it. And we highly recommend it to anyone!

Cooks steaks etc just how you want them. Easy to use. Easy to clean. I wouldn’t be without it now.

In a morning, nearly every morning, I like a good bacon buttie and I've cooked bacon every way you can cook bacon. This grill is probably not the best tool for the job. It cooks it well and if you like the fat to go all crispy then it does a great job and it does it really quickly. In fact, sometimes the bacon can be cooked thoroughly before the pre-heat feature has even completed. While the cooking is incredibly fast, it's perfectly flat and its quite a bit tougher than when its fried in a pan or its grilled under a conventional grill.That all said, I haven't gone back to a frying pan because of the cooking speed and convenience of that for a pre-work meal. There's also something really satisfying about seeing the fat drip from the grill and fill up the drip tray. You realise that much of that used to go inside your body. Tuna steaks, chicken, sausages all come out fine and all cook very quickly in comparison to other cooking methods. You can also get a lot on this grill. 8 rashers of bacon fit easily, 4 butterflied chicken breasts etc.The problem for me is the cleaning! It doesn't take long to do with the additional purchase of a health grill brush (I use the OXO Good Grips Electric Grill brush from Amazon) and the plates remove very easily. The plates are big and awkward and you'll end up splashing the fat everywhere while rinsing it. You can't assume it will be ok to cook something else on the grill without cleaning it from the previous time because it just imprints old food on new. I don't have a dishwasher so I can't comment on how effective that would be, but the messy cleaning routine is definitely my biggest issue with this otherwise good cooking machine.

A great grill once you get used to the settings can be complicated to get the right temperature.Removable plates is what o wanted very easy to clean.Why did you choose this product over others?:removable plates and design

The media could not be loaded. This is the best grill I used so far. It's big enough to make more food than 2 people. The options it have are amazing, together with the thickness sensor. The steaks are superb, also fish, sandwiches and everything else. It's well designed so you don't have to really hide it. Temperature control and great levels are great. Using mine for so long but it looks like new, so sturdy. I totally recommend.
