Tefal OptiGrill+ Health Grill GC7178G1 – Black
The Tefal OptiGrill+ Health Grill GC7178G1 makes indoor grilling simple by combining powerful 2000W performance with intelligent automatic cooking technology.
Designed to take the guesswork out of grilling, it measures the thickness of your food and automatically adjusts the cooking time according to the number and thickness of items placed on the grill.
With six automatic cooking programmes, an automatic cooking indicator and a generous 600 cm² cooking surface, it is ideal for preparing meat, fish, sandwiches and more with consistent results.
Intelligent Grilling with Automatic Cooking
Automatic Sensor Cooking Technology
One of the standout features of the Tefal OptiGrill+ is its intelligent thickness measurement technology. The grill detects the thickness of the food down to the millimetre and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
This means you can spend less time monitoring your food while the grill works towards the selected level of doneness.
6 Automatic Cooking Programmes
The OptiGrill+ includes six dedicated automatic programmes for different types of food. Choose from red meat, burger, sausage, poultry, sandwiches and fish, then allow the grill to automatically manage the cooking cycle. This makes everyday grilling more convenient while helping deliver consistent results.
Product Highlights
With a 2000W power rating and 600 cm² cooking surface, the Tefal OptiGrill+ provides strong heating performance for everyday indoor grilling.
Its automatic cooking indicator helps you monitor the cooking level, from rare through to well-done, so you can prepare food according to your preferred finish.
The angled cooking plates are designed to help drain excess fat into the removable juice tray. Tefal states that the grill can deliver up to 44% less fat in a specific internal test, although results can vary depending on the food and cooking conditions.
Convenient Cooking for Different Foods
The Tefal OptiGrill+ is designed to handle a variety of everyday meals:
- Steaks and red meat – use the dedicated programme and cooking indicator to achieve your preferred level of doneness
- Burgers – grill burgers with automatic cooking adjustment
- Sausages – use the dedicated sausage programme for convenient indoor grilling
- Poultry – prepare chicken and other suitable poultry cuts with automatic cooking control
- Fish – grill fish using the dedicated automatic programme
- Sandwiches – toast and grill sandwiches and paninis
- Vegetables and other foods – use manual mode when you want greater control over cooking
The manual mode provides additional flexibility when preparing foods that do not fit the six automatic programmes.
Easy-to-Use Cooking Indicator
The automatic cooking indicator takes the guesswork out of checking your food. During the cooking cycle, the indicator helps show the progress of your food so you can determine when it has reached your preferred level. This is particularly useful when cooking steaks and other meats where precise doneness matters.
Easy Cleaning with Removable Plates
After cooking, cleaning is straightforward thanks to the removable non-stick cooking plates and removable juice tray. Both the plates and juice tray are dishwasher safe, helping reduce the time spent cleaning up after meals.
Reduced Smoke for Indoor Grilling
The OptiGrill+ is designed for indoor use and produces up to twice less smoke than a traditional indoor grill, according to Tefal’s product information. This makes it a convenient option for enjoying grilled-style meals without needing an outdoor barbecue.
