Our verdict

An indoor contact grill that senses food thickness and sets time and temperature on its own, with a light that tracks doneness. The cooking surface feeds a small household, so big gatherings take several rounds.

Overview

Not a basic contact grill with one heat setting, the T-Fal OptiGrill+ reads the thickness and amount of food on its plates and adjusts time and temperature. An indicator light tracks progress so you can lift the lid when each item reaches your preferred doneness.

Hands off doneness is the reason to buy it, taking guesswork out of steaks, burgers and fish. Capacity suits two to four people, so feeding a crowd means cooking in batches.

Who it's for

Apartment dwellers without an outdoor grill and cooks unsure of doneness get automatic programs and a progress light. Large families and party hosts will find the surface too small.

Performance notes

Sensors read the food's thickness when the lid closes, then the program sets heat and tracks doneness stage by stage. Contact plates cook both sides at once, so grilling time is shorter than turning food in a pan.
