T-fal GC702853 OptiGrill Indoor Electric Grill with Removable and Dishwasher Safe Plates, 1800W, Black

T-fal introduces OptiGrill, the first electric grill with Precision Grilling Technology which cooks food to your preference based on the program selected (burger, poultry, sandwiches, sausage and pork, red meat or fish) and by measuring the thickness of the food. The T-fal GC702850 OptiGrill Black version automatically adapts its grilling cycles to the thickness of the food. Thanks to a unique cooking level indicator, it lets you know the cooking progress and beeps at Rare, Medium and Well-Done so you know when your meal is cooked the way you like it! The OptiGrill also features a defrost setting for cooking food from frozen to perfect in minutes and a manual setting for vegetables and personal recipes. The T-fal OptiGrill has a powerful 1,800-watt heating element and die-cast aluminum, non-stick coated plates. The plates are removable and dishwasher safe, for easy clean-up. The T-fal OptiGrill comes with a recipe book and a 1-year limited warranty. If the grill goes into Manual mode (white light) and is not preheating it is because the consumer is opening the lid during the pre-heating which signals to the grill that you are putting food on. When you don't put food on or put it on the grill before the pre-heating is done then the grill goes into Manual mode since it is not fully pre-heated. To prevent this always keep the lid closed, turn on the machine, select the desired program then press okay. The light will flash purple as the grill pre-heats. Keep the lid closed during this time. Once the light goes solid purple and beeps you can then add the food.
