We just made moist and delicious pork loin chops in our Optigrill. If someone has one try this: press the pork button and hit OK, while its warming up sprinkle some mesquite spice on the pork and when you hear the beep that the Optigrill is up to heat put on the chops on and close the lid. When you see red and hear the tone, plate it up. It's so yummy! They're good to eat as they are or you can slice the chops thinly and put into salads or sandwiches. Very versatile machine. I love it!
Like him, I like the skin left on. I didn't notice until recently, that when you cut or bite into a chicken, the skin with the flavorings comes off. Skinless is the way to go.
Are you sure you're supposed to wait until the light is red for boneless chicken breast? I just took it out when it beeped the first time, at yellow, and the internal temperature at the thickest part (they were pretty thin) was already over 200 degrees. The first time I used it and left it in until red, it was way overdone. Dark and tough.
I was confused cause he said when it beeps at rare but it showed red. I tried it at well dove and I couldn't eat the thing, it was so dry. This thing runs so hot that my panini sandwiches are burning by the time rare beeps.
All these products are shown on tv as a set and stone advertisement. I have a pressure cooker xl that promised fall apart roasts and such in half hour or less. Come to test and read other peoples recipes.. its triple the time. In this case its probably less. Ive been in a hurry and took breast meat to 155 to 158 internal and eaten it many of times and im here to say i did.
@@angusiasty well it measures the thickness too so thinner it should cook in less time. But i prefer a good thick medium steak so i just bring it out a bit before medium. The steaks are always soft. Just took a while to work it out
Exactly! Mine kept tripping the electric as it got hot when I first got it. After about 8 goes and then leaving it a day it suddenly worked. Now I’m expecting it to suddenly stop working again.
It doesn't work either way. I regret buying the grill. I have read others who have the same problem. Without a custom heat setting its essentially useless IMO.
+FroopieLoopies You need to reset itHere is how to reset the grill: 1- Plug the grill to electric outlet. 2- Press these 3 buttons at the same time (hamburger, fish & M). 3- The steak button will red flash 3 times and then becomes sold red. 4- Open the grill & place a (1” - 1.5”) thick wooden spoon on the bottom plate. 5- Close the grill and press the steak button, will red flash 3 times and then becomes sold red. 6- Now unplug the grill and wait for 20 sec., when you plug it again it should be ready to go.
its an advertisement for the grill. it cooks it for you with the right amount of time. you push buttons and it cooks. pay attention to the video. if you have a different grill then it's not for you.

Nice Demo but I wish you would have shown a second cooking as the explanation on second cooking are not explain well and cannot find a video how to do a second cooking as the temp is staying on red when you follow the guide??????
I have this grill. Chicken comes out dry. I was embarrassed when after recommending this grill to another person when they told me their chicken came out dry and asked me for advice on how to improve it, which I wasn't able to do.
It takes a few weeks of "learning" how to cook with it. Initially y chicken was dry and horrible. Now it's soft, juicy, moist and with seared grill marks.
Terminator_D-MANN I don't need to do research about Tefal problems. I had to cntact them twice about an issue and both times they fixed my problem. My Optigrill had problems with it's programming and after a week it didn't even do anything else than manual program so I contacted Tefal through Facebook and not even 2 hours later they replied telling me they are aware of the problem and that I need to send in the Optigrill to have it reprogrammed. Now it works perfectly again. I don't care about others, they probably just don't know how to deal with issues (I#ve seen lot's of people complaining about things where I just think "just do this or that, problem solved". Tbh, I have problems with all kinds of products every now and then but in most cases I get those problems fixed. But you really think Tefal would be able to be such a big householdname if it were to have only problems with it's products? then again, maybe Tefal just cares more about customers in Europe and don't give a fuck about the US? Which would make no sense at all and I highly doubt that's the case but hey, who knows, right?
I dug mine out after not using it for a few years because the light would always go white. Originally bought 2017 ish I think. Just recently I followed a youtube video in how to re calibrate and it’s working again! Rejoice for dry Chicken 🤣
I hate mine. Don't buy this garbage. You get dull and bland steaks, worst than you would get in a pan, and just to make burgers you can use any other cheap grill for similar results.

I purchased this grill a few days ago and i'm totally happy with it. Worth every penny.
Is it still working today? Just bought one
Andrei Budilică still working but one of the clips holding the griddle is broken but still works
Grabbed one from goodwill for 4$ and stumbled upon this video. Awesome for a apartment
i bought one. Not because i have a big family but just because i'm lazy af. lol
O grelhador tem sistema sem fumo?
Hi,I think I'm going to end up buying that grill.
It's incredible how well the food looks!
Nice Video...
And wright, it just works
Greetings from Munich Germany
Love mine. Can I do chicken skewers by clicking on the Chicken program??? Thanks
I'm buying one
I love mine.
it works great i love it bought 2

I am a bit doubtful about magic sensor to determine temperature INSIDE of meat portion. Do you confirm?
Yes. But then I left the bones in. Boneless is the way to go.
I can not wait to try mine! However, I am the only one noticing this lady touching the chicken a couple of times
and not washing her hands? lol
I think she ded now
Sooo, how did you get on with yours?
I bet she has touched dirtier birds with her hands.
my dude goes ham with the garlic
roughly how long does it take?

You r right ...for chicken breast u have 2 take it out after first beep.
+RetroGuy76 not at all, your probably used to overcooked chicken. which means when you try chicken at 160 degree internal youll be shocked
I was confused cause he said when it beeps at rare but it showed red. I tried it at well dove and I couldn't eat the thing, it was so dry. This thing runs so hot that my panini sandwiches are burning by the time rare beeps.
I take mine out after one beep... and it's 161°f exactly. donenit to the third beep (rare) and it was rubby, overcooked and dry.

I have this and i dont think the beef fuction is correct. I like medium and when i take it off its almost well done once i left it to rest
Maybe your meat cuts are too thin?
@@angusiasty well it measures the thickness too so thinner it should cook in less time. But i prefer a good thick medium steak so i just bring it out a bit before medium. The steaks are always soft. Just took a while to work it out
I agree the timing doesn’t seem to allow for the meat reacting where it continues to cook.
It’s great… when it works.
Exactly! Mine kept tripping the electric as it got hot when I first got it. After about 8 goes and then leaving it a day it suddenly worked. Now I’m expecting it to suddenly stop working again.
@@moretimeneeded56, mine keeps going into manual mode even though I’ve done the full reset many times.
it's a good bit of kit, but it take's for ever to cook sausage's 😃
Yeah this ain’t no good for sausages. Get an air fryer for your sausages, cooks them evenly (no stripes of burnt or uncooked) and quickly.
i thought you were supposed to wait up to 5 minutes after cooking it before cutting the chicken to let juices cool down??
it's TV magic and editing. Yes you should 5 - 10min
Amazing grill when it works. too bad they all have the same white light issue sometimes right out of box.
What chef on earth says season frozen meat .. u mad ? Ice will melt with all ur seasoning
Why does my grill ONLY work in manual?
+FroopieLoopies According the their facebook: if your grill is opened while it's preheating, it will switch to manual mode.
It doesn't work either way. I regret buying the grill. I have read others who have the same problem. Without a custom heat setting its essentially useless IMO.

wow thanks for the information
Moist
Why is the light indicator black, after she opened the grill at 3:12???
So she gonna wash her hands after poking that chicken
No - T-fal Optigrill will do it for her
Stop moaning
I have the optigrill....its fine for toasted sandwiches but it burns meat on the outside and the plates are a nightmare to wash.....
is it just me or is everyone here looking at her cooking steak and thinking is chicken?
your not telling us about how long to cook it
I have a different grill
It beeps and light turns red when it's done
its an advertisement for the grill. it cooks it for you with the right amount of time. you push buttons and it cooks. pay attention to the video. if you have a different grill then it's not for you.
Becky S. it tells you when it's done. Lol
MMM GUESS I MISSED IT, THANK U
Didn't even wash hands and proceeded touch everything
Can you cook chicken or steak with the bone in?
Maureen Parish yes, ua-cam.com/video/wUeq9i_Ew7M/v-deo.html
The difference between this and a George Foreman grill is .... ???
They could sell sand to the Arabs.. lol
Dry rubbery chicken, just some folks doing their job as a sales person, he flipped his chicken over seasoned chicken was burnt

Can you cook chicken legs?
no
Yes!
ua-cam.com/video/wUeq9i_Ew7M/v-deo.html
George Forman better be getting paid
Did anyone try Chicken leg on it?
Thick legs and wings no problem on poultry setting and cooking to Red. Just done them today.
Nice Demo but I wish you would have shown a second cooking as the explanation on second cooking are not explain well and cannot find a video how to do a second cooking as the temp is staying on red when you follow the guide??????

@@darkknight17 Any tips?
Tkn chickenbreast must be grilled in chicken programm until orange. Then its not so dry.
Took mine out when indicator was orange - still too dry. :(
same by me it taste like a plastic
Seems a bit under cooked
I saw zero pink
I suggest anyone who is thinking of purchasing this product do a search on Tfal problems.
I suggest anyone who has some issues with a product to contact the manufacturer
Avenged84 maybe you need to do some researching before you write something that many have done and have gotten zero help with and nothing solved.

I have found with previous products I bought, T-Fal are a garbage company. Worst customer services ever.
Did you swap the thongs from raw to cooked? Ewwwww

Concerned at how he used the spoon to rub the garlic on the chicken then put the spoon back in the garlic 😳🤢
He didn't even rest the chicken before slicing....
How about washing your hands
Do not buy this. I bought mine in May 2019 and today it stopped working. Tried reset, re-calibration. all fail. Terrible product. #Tefal #OptiGrill
And is it not under guarantee...?
@@Hypnotized81 They say you have to ship it to a repair center to have it checked. Haven't done that yet
@Goforit Code Wait till one day it stops working. And you are hungry like a wolf :D
That is what happened to me :(
Bought mine same time and also bought the accessories and its used weekly, although it only became semi redundant when i got a air fryer.

Let the meat rest before cutting it and a monkey pissed on vodka could cook a chicken breast it’s not difficult

glad l didn't get this grill
Yes. Not everyone can afford this. Best save your money for rent
It's just a sandwich maker, calling it anything alse it's irrelevant
I have one. It does so much more than sandwiches and, as a busy household, it's invaluable as a start and forget grill. It makes awesome steaks!
It gets hotter than a sandwich maker
