Tefal Optigrill GC701D40 £150 homeandcook.co.uk •••••••••• Design •••••••••• Performance •••••••••• Ease of use STEAK OF GENIUS Burgers, chicken, bacon, fish... this automated grill has temperature and timer settings for one and all. Plus, the fat-stripper (no jokes, please) has sensors that tell how many items you’re sizzling to tweak its cooking accordingly – handy for when you’re searing four burgers on its giant 600cm2 griddle. EXPERT VERDICT Auto-programmes make Optigrill your personal Ramsay, complete with expletives: expect plenty of annoying bleeps that only make sense in the cooker’s complex instructions. Still, you’ll easily earn back time spent with its manual by loading its removable grill plates into the dishwasher.
