Overview
The T-Fal OptiGrill XL is a stainless steel indoor electric grill with a sensor that reads food thickness and beeps through rare, medium and well-done stages instead of running on a fixed timer.
A few buyers still got underdone results on thinner cuts like pork chops or burgers, so the automatic modes work best when the manual's guidance is followed rather than treated as fully hands-off.
- 9 automatic cooking programs
- 1800-watt stainless steel construction
- 6-8 serving XL cooking surface
- Removable, dishwasher-safe nonstick plates
Who it's for
Works well for households cooking for several people who want consistent doneness without a meat thermometer, and for anyone replacing a small single-portion contact grill. Less suited to someone who prefers full manual control over every degree of the cook.
Pros and cons
- Automatic sensor adjusts cook time to food thickness
- Removable plates are dishwasher safe
- Cooks from frozen without thawing first
- Some cuts like pork chops or burgers can finish underdone
- Takes a short learning curve to read the doneness cues correctly
- Should not be opened before preheating finishes
Performance notes
A sensor reads the thickness of the food on the plate and adjusts cooking time and temperature automatically, signaling with lights and a beep as food passes through rare, medium and well-done stages on programs for burgers, poultry, fish and sandwiches.
