We were a long time in search of a really practical and easy to clean electric grill. We prefer the electric grill, especially if we only two just want to grill something on the balcony and it does not want to operate the great effort with the charcoal grill. However, the Tefal grill is large enough to grill food for 4. After a short warm-up phase of about 10 minutes the device is ready for use. The statements that it would not go fast enough, I can not confirm. Although takes the pure cooking (which is also fried crispy) slightly longer than on the charcoal grill, but I have not even 40 minutes to wait until I can start and it is possible for me to place the grill on or even on the table, so that waiting is not really difficult. The grilling result in various food was outstanding. Meat, sausages, vegetables, everything is done quickly (within 15 minutes so I'm still faster than the charcoal grill in the Gesammtzeit), the ability to keep warm at the end on a plate all without it being further burns very well. The cleaning of the equipment is just great. Both plates have to be removed easily and problemslos to clean. Both in the dishwasher and fix under running water. My family and I can recommend this barbecue without hesitation.
