Review on T-fal GC7 Opti-Grill Indoor Electric Grill, Silver - Automatic Sensor Cooking, 4-Servings by Justino Pratama

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Auto cooking is unreliable on my unit

This review is for the OptiGrill Plus XL model (8 servings) of the following: after flashing they stop and it immediately switches to manual mode , with no option to select automatic cooking mode.2. If you use the automatic cooking mode, after a few minutes of preheating, the indicator will turn red and switch to manual mode. We also encountered a third issue where the steak was cooked through and the gauge only showed it was just done. Average. I believe all three issues are related to the sensors of the device, the reviews include steps to recalibrate the device, but they do NOT work for the OptiGrill Plus XL model. After calling T-Fal and receiving another set of recalibration instructions unable to recalibrate the device, I was advised to replace the device. When it's on auto (four times out of eight attempts in the last week), we've had mostly positive results: great hot dogs, best burgers we've ever had, juicy pork chops, and a very overcooked steak. I hope we just got a lemon, the concept of this product is great and as I mentioned before. made the best burgers we've ever had - a boon for those who are very uncomfortable in the kitchen but want to save the money normally spent on eating out and start eating healthier.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Running
