Subject: [CnD] Fw: Teefal Opti-grill
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
