I didn't see any info on where to find it. I will do some google searching as I would be interesting in getting my hands on this unit.

Dear All, I don't know any more about this item than the writer of the message has shared below, but it certainly sounds interesting and like something cooks who are blind should know about! Dale, any chance you can procure this marvel for BlindMiceMart? Enjoy!

New automatic intelligent grill tells you when your food is cooked. To: [email protected] Hi, So sorry to post about this here but I didn't know where else to let people know about this amazing new product. I would seriously describe it as life changing but as I don't know anyone else with eyesight problems I thought I'd let you all know and you can spread the word round the community. The product is called Teefal Opti-grill and its one of those george forman style grills except it has some brains. It has a sensor which can tell how thick your food is and another which senses temperature, there are 6 buttons for different foods, Bugers, Chicken, Sandwiches, Pork (sausages/bacon), Red meat (Steak etc) and Fish. It also has a manual button and a frozen button. All you do is switch it on, press the frozen button if your food is frozen, not if not, press the button which relates to the food stuff you are cooking then press OK. It pre heats then beeps to tell you to put your food on, then it measures the thickness of the food and starts cooking it. When the food is rear it beeps, then when it is medium, another beep then well done and it beeps again. There is a window which displays a colour code telling you how done your food is which all the iPhone colour identifiers will correctly notify you which colour is showing, i.e. Blue for pre heat, yellow for rear, Orange for medium and red, well done but as I said the beeps are there if you couldn't use a phone to identify the colours. If anyone does buy this product which I can't recommend enough the buttons run from left to right. On/Off Frozen Burger Chicken Sandwich Bacon/sausage Steak Fish Manual/no automation/sensors OK So if you wanted to do a frozen sausage, you hit On then frozen then sausage then OK, then wait for the first beep to tell you pre heating is done, then wait 1 beep for rear, 2 for medium and 3 for well done. As a bonus, its an amazing grill and on the 4 occasions I have used it in the last week the food has been perfect. Literally perfect. Even has grill lines which look like it is restaurant cooked. It isn't cheap at £139 or I think $199 but honestly it is worth double the price for what it does. A couple of other bits about it, each button you press lights up red which again the colour identifiers will show you so you know if you have hit the frozen button for example. It has a drip tray which catches all the nasty fat and stuff which slides in the front and the grill plates release really easily with a button on the left hand side, one for the top and one for the bottom then you can just wash them or throw them in the dishwasher. Really important is never to use metal utensils on it, use only plastic or silicon as if you scratch the plates you would need to replace them. Again sorry this is so off topic but I thought it was so exciting for blind/VI people like myself. As I don't know anyone in that community I thought I'd let you all know. If you wanted to know anything else, send me an e-mail and i'll be happy to help out. Andy -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
