Know before you buy
The grill features a smart sensor that measures the thickness of your food and automatically adjusts the cooking time and temperature accordingly. It also includes a digital cooking assistant that guides you through the process to ensure your meat reaches your preferred level of doneness, from rare to well-done.
Yes, the OptiGrill Elite comes with 12 automatic cooking programs designed for a variety of ingredients, including poultry, fish, sandwiches, and vegetables. You can also use the manual mode if you prefer to set your own temperature and time.
Cleanup is straightforward because the grill plates and the drip tray are both removable and dishwasher-safe. Simply detach them after the unit has cooled and place them in your dishwasher for easy maintenance.
The cooking surface provides 106.64 square inches of space, which is designed to accommodate up to four servings at a time. It is an ideal size for small families or couples looking for quick, indoor grilling.
The searing boost function allows you to achieve high-quality browning on your proteins. It provides that signature restaurant-style crust on steaks and chops while keeping the interior juicy.
While the OptiGrill Elite is designed for indoor use, grilling at high temperatures can naturally produce some smoke. The removable drip tray helps manage grease runoff, which reduces flare-ups and smoke, but we recommend using it in a well-ventilated area or near an exhaust fan.
