Easy to cook with this grill, FAST cooking, and EASY to clean
By Michael Hoffman on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2025
This grill is awesome. The light(and a beep) tell you when your food is rare, medium, or well done. I like this because I"m not that good at guessing and I like not using a thermometer. The first thing I cooked was frozen chicken breast.....since it was my first time I cooked it until after it said it was well done......but by that time it was a little dry. This time I cooked a thick steak from Walmart(yes Walmart), I was worried because it was thick, but anyway, as soon as the light and beep said it was medium well done I took it off.......Wow.....it was perfectly well done.....even this thick steak......and it did not take very long.....having a top and bottom grill that you just close over the meat is great. No turning....no messy grease splatter. This grill is also SUPER easy to clean. The grilling 'plates' are easy to wash, non-stick, but I do spray some non-stick spray on it too just before I put the meat on. Push a button and the plates come off in your hand. Easy to clean in the sink and/or put in the dish washer. Today after the steak I put some asparagus on the grill for a couple of minutes during it's cool down and it came out great, olive oil, salt, pepper. Someone online suggested using frozen asparagus so I just let it thaw out first. So yeah, I debated about this grill....I wasn't sure I would use it much.....but I like it. It's another fast cooking tool I have to make meals with.

UPDATED- somethign is going on with quality control at T-FAL lately
By Richard Yau on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018
So I am updating my review for the T-FAL grills. To be fair, I thought maybe i had gotten a lemon unit and Amazon graciously accepted my return and re-purchase, but in the end I had to return both units. 2 malfunctioning units is NOT a lemon- that means something is going on. My original review for the original unit i bought- it was beautiful. Worked like a charm. LOVED IT SO MUCH. How I through it out or lost it I don't know but i'm kicking myself for doing that- my original purchase was exceptional. Forward to this week- I decided to re-buy given my original experience. Then I returned and bought the bigger one as the original new order did not work. Then the bigger replacement behaved the same. So something is going on with T-Fal these days. HOW THE GRILL BEHAVES NOW (the 2 i bought) 1. for whatever reason it is not cooking reliably anymore. Hamburger, fish patties- both were cooked to WELL DONE status and yet were cold and RARE inside. Huh? It was also VERY noticeable how QUICKLY it went through the stages to well done- seemingly within 2-3 quick minutes. 2. when I cooked small hot dogs however, for whatever reason it cooked them a REALLY LONG TIME to get through the stages and by the time i hit yellow (medium)- the dogs were charred through and breaking at the seams. huh? 3. I also noticed that in both cases- even if i picked a program setting, mid-way through the cooking the unit switched ITSELF to MANUAL mode! huh? 4. It used to be you could re-set thes units and turn them off, then turn them back on and re-program. NOT SO with either unit I bought this week. If you turn this thing on then turn it off. It will ONLY accept MANUAL mode for a long time. I basically have to wait for the next meal before i can power on and use a program mode again. All in all- i can NO LONGER recommend this product (small or big version). It doesn't cook it correctly or reliably (super charred hot dogs but rare and cold burger patties on "well done" indicator?), I can't even get the unit to accept my button input to setup the cooking if I've turned it on/off once. It's unfortunate- this was such a kick ass perfect unit you could ever ask for a few years back. T-FAL- check your manufacturing and QA and fix whatever is going wrong these days with your units.
