Review on Grill Tefal Optigrill Elite XL GC760D30, silver/black by Radko Radkov ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not particularly happy with it, but it's mostly okay.

As I wrote in the shortcomings, the grill is not so big - for a maximum of 4 steaks, and if you need a crust, then even for 2-3 :( Frying in 2 passes is inconvenient - for good, the old fat should be washed / wiped off the panels, so that in the cooking mode with a crust it does not smoke (smoke is a carcinogen) Got pros: 1. Large enough for a large family and company (taking into account the minuses, I don’t see the point in a small model for a family) 2. Panels are covered with Teflon on all sides, can be washed in PMM 3. Automatic programs - lamb and beef are fried differently, the lamb turned out tender 4. Very little smoke compared to a frying pan - this is the biggest advantage, but this is the case with any grill. Its cons: 1. The grill is not that big - 4 ordinary striploin steaks (one of the most famous manufacturers) from the supermarket occupied absolutely the entire surface, and here the next drawback came out. 2. The panels are too thin (not warm enough) and / or the grill power is not enough for this size - 4 steaks at room temperature, previously dried with a towel, did not have time to seal the capillaries (the meat quickly absorbed all the heat), let the juice go and reached medium rare without the crust mode didn’t brown at all, but turned out to be more boiled (even 3 steaks in the crust mode get stripes that don’t stand out very much) This is the biggest disappointment :( 3. Grill does not turn off automatically 4. The grill does not lay out horizontally on two surfaces, but I don’t need it - I bought it so as not to fry in a pan and not smoke the whole apartment
