Sage by Heston Blumenthal Smart Grill Pro £295 johnlewis.com •••••••••• Design •••••••••• Performance •••••••••• Ease of use HOLY GRILL It might burn a hole in your wallet, but the Sage comes up trumps. You won’t need Michelin star skills to harness its capabilities either – the grill is equipped with novice-friendly programmes for a wide range of meats. That’s not to mention its integrated temperature probe, for professional precision. EXPERT VERDICT Not only will this grill carry out your every meaty command, it’ll craft gourmet fare at the push of a button and even tutor you on how to rest meats for better taste. And while it’s a little heavyduty when cooking delicate greens, its flat plate is perfect for pancakes. A very fair trade, we reckon.
