This grill is amazing and gets used on a daily basis it makes everything nice from toasties to poultry and meats , I was very happy with how perfect it made my medium rare porterhouse steak

The Tegal Optigrill Elite is so much better than any other product that is similar. No mess easy to use and cooks steaks spot on.

Like the automatic cook time selection function.

The Elite is a big step up from the basic model as it has more features and is more informative. However, it can be accidentally turned on and it also needs the option of a flat bottom plate so that you can cook eggs. I have had other brands and models and find that the Optigrill Elite is the one I like best.
