Black Tefal Optigrill

A new year means people all over the world are making New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier, exercise more and generally take better care of their health.

One way to make the healthy eating part easier is by grilling your food – lean cuts of meat or even vegetables can be grilled with no effort with the Tefal Optigrill, a product which has been sitting on my kitchen counter top since I was sent one for review last June. I’ve been using my Optigrill grill regularly ever since, and as I’m currently trying to shift the few extra pounds put on in 2014 I use it even more.

Tefal Optigrill ChickenOne of my current favourite dishes is to marinade some chicken breasts in a little olive oil mixed with Chipotle seasoning, press the on button on my Optigrill, wait for it to beep that it’s ready, plonk the marinated chicken breasts on the tray, close the lid and wait. Served sliced with some protein-rich quinoa and a generous helping of steamed vegetables it’s a perfect, filling, low calorie meal.

Besides cooking meat perfectly it’s super easy to clean; just wait for the Optigrill to cool, disassemble the cooking plates and put them in the dishwasher along with the drip tray. No fuss!

The Tefal Optigrill uses “Automatic Sensor Cooking” technology which immediately detects the number of items placed on the grill and their thickness, and adjusts the temperature and cooking time automatically.  An indicator light allows you to monitor your cooking directly: Blue then green at the start of cooking, then yellow when the food is rare, orange when it is medium and red if you like your food well-done.

  • 6 cooking programmes (red meat, poultry, fish, sausages, hamburgers and sandwiches/panini or bacon) to automatically adapt the temperature to each type of food and cook it perfectly.
  • 2 cooking modes: one for frozen food, plus a manual mode that lets you cook anything the way you want.
  • 600cm2 cooking surface (capacity 2 to 4 people), with non-stick die-cast aluminium plates.
  • Large juice tray and 7° angled plates to ensure the cooking juices run off.

The Tefal Optigrill now comes in a gorgeous, sleek black colour, and I am delighted to announce that they have offered one of my readers the chance to win one!

    Reply

  405. I would cook steak so I can cook it to everyones individual tastes. My son likes it medium and husband well done. I always struggle to cook meat as I am a vegetarian and not a confident meat cooker, this could save me time and make me queen of the kitchen and not poison anyone!

  606. It’s great to make sausages on this grill, you see all the fat dripping off leaving health(ier) sausages left behind. Why diet when you can cook healthier? I hope I win this!

    Reply

  657. ooh – a mix of mushrooms, peppers, onions, aubergine and courgettes with garlic and balsamic vinegar – to eat hot with couscous or rice, and any left over for a wrap the following day 😀

    Reply

  664. I would use it to cook whole mackerel stuffed with a lovely spicy sambal of chillies, dried prawns,garlic, shallots and balachan.

    Reply

  670. It would have to be some nice grilled Mackerel – one of those foods that are tasty, but also good for you.
    ….Although, some nice crispy bacon would also be a good choice.

    Reply

  679. I really enjoy a good steak, so that would have to be the first thing I tried.

    I would also really love to see how lamb shish kebabs came out. I have a feeling that, while they wouldn’t be as good as those cooked over charcoal, this device would cook them much better then they come out under the grill.

    Reply

  726. I would use this for LOTS of different things – but I reckon it would make mean lamb skewers, with peppers and onion, marinaded in lemon and rosemary, and then served with flatbreads, chilli sauce and yoghurt – yum!

    Reply

  755. Hmm I would grill lots of different things like steaks, chicken, paninis, and sausage and bacon for that essential morning fry up every now and then! Love these grills would enjoy using it all the time.

    Reply

  804. seen a demo of this when out shopping this is a must have just love this as we all like things cooked different

    Reply

  805. I’d start with toasted sandwiches or paninis to get to grips with it and once sure I couldn’t cock it up I’d work my way through everything it was capable of! I’d love one!

    Reply

  811. Chicken marinated in paprika, cut into strips, skewered with peppers and red onion – slap it on the grill and it’ll be awesome!

    Reply

  823. I’m trying to cook healthier family meals this year and I hate cooking burgers and sausages because of the fat! This would mean I can reduce our fatty intake of these meals!

    Reply

  825. Everything! I’d stick steak in there, chicken in there, pork in there.. I’d give anything a go in it.

    Reply

  915. I’ve been without a kitchen for 9 months now getting by with a BBQ and slow cooker, so the first in a long list of snacks/dinners I miss is good old cheese on toast! I’ll start with the basics and build up!
