Subject: Re: Very O.T. New automatic intelligent grill tells you when your
food is cooked.
Hello Andy,
Currently, I am using a George Foreman Evolve grill. This is probably a step
down from this one. On the Evolve model, one is able to set the temperature
from 300 to 425 degrees. You mentioned a manual button to turn off the
sensors. So, how does the grill function in this mode? Here are some other
questions I have:
1. Is there a knob or lever to keep the grill straight or tilted?
2. If not using the sensor mode, Are there buttons to time the food items?
3. Are there different lower plates to exchange with? I have a deep dish and
pancake grill that I can swap out with the lower grill and use them all the
time.
4. I didn't hear you say anything about a button for vegetables. How are
they cooked on this grill?
Please forgive me for this long post, but I work with the visually impaired
and mostly with the seniorpopulation, so it may be possible for one of them
to receive this product and for me to purchase to demo for them.
Thanks and I look forward to your next post.
Kind regards,
Eileen

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
