Choosing a contact grill

And look right! To DeLongy. 2 years plowing both in the tail and in the mane - no complaints at all! Flat panels are also needed - there was no gas (they put gas meters on a door-to-door basis) - they cooked eggs on it. On the panel 6 eggs in the lung! And after that we no longer cook in a frying pan - only grill! I lightly grease with oil with a brush and that's it! And it turns out very beautiful and practically without oil! And the pancakes are super on her! If on one panel - 6 pieces at once, on two - 12! Ready in 4 minutes. I don't even write about everything else - meat, fish, vegetables - just a song!

Peace be with you bakers!
I'm straining tefalka with beer

I have Tefal Optigrill Snaking Baking, bought on computeruniverse. True, now they are not there.
There is a full copy on Avito, Nordica for about 11,000 and there is Avito delivery (though I looked for a long time).

I am very, very happy with it, the grill is not the first.

I also chose between Delongue 1030 and Tefalka.

What is the difference:
1. The delongue has a heating element built into the plate, in theory it is cooler.

2. Delongue has three attachments in a set - grill, flat and waffles.
Tefalka has a grill and a mega-convenient baking tray. Waffles exist in nature, but for such a price I did not buy, the GFgril waffle iron is completely satisfied.

3. At Delongy, all modes are set manually, you can turn off the top plate or set a different temperature, as well as the operating time. All this is cool, but for advanced users.
And Tefalka has perfectly working auto modes, in the end there is always an excellent result without memorizing unnecessary information about the temperature and time for each type of food.
This absolutely suits my spouse, who can always cook food for himself and the child without any problems if I am not at home.
And there is also a mode for frozen semi-finished products. I am not fond of this, but my husband somehow bought the most terrible world-trade cutlets for a stock. We were going to throw it away, but I took the risk of grilling them. It turned out to be very worthy))) but we will not buy any more)))

4. The tefalka baking tray is just a fairy tale. This is a worthy replacement for the pizza ovens loved by our forum users, only with the ability to remove and wash. The size is smaller, but that's what we need.
Perhaps he cooks longer than pizza ovens, but it suits me.
I regularly cook pancakes and all variations, potato gratin, casseroles, etc.

5. Price. Delongy did not see below 16000, tefalk with CU cost about 11000.

Tefalka absolutely suited me, very happy, until they invent something completely new - I will not change

I fully support it. I also have OptiGrill. I love it! All previously tested are not comparable. We live with him in perfect harmony for 1.5 years. Prepares as on the first day after purchase

Over time, I can say that DeLongy is very cool and I'm really glad that I chose him and not Tefal. It works every day, and scrambled eggs on it, and toasts, and pancakes, about meat, shrimp, chicken, and so on, I generally keep quiet. Lula kebab is also excellent. Adjusting the plates is mega cool and a delusion that manual adjustment is for advanced users - a couple of days of cooking and you will fry on it even without a timer. All plates are involved, the waffles are also excellent: even apple, buckwheat, even classic - the flight of imagination is endless.

By the way, DeLongs can be taken in the classic version, without additional. plates.
So think, like the saying: "Every sandpiper praises his swamp."

So think, like the saying: "Every sandpiper praises his swamp."

I won't tell you about the swamp .. Have you tried Tefal? I have nothing against Delongy, but read this

DeLonghi is very cool and I'm really glad I chose him and not Tefal

strange ...
This topic is not about

Each sandpiper praises its swamp

but about the exchange of experience

[Kara]

Kara, Irina, you probably misunderstood me, I really meant that everyone writes only about their experience, good or not. We both praised (didn't we?) Our kitchen helpers, and let the rest choose

strange ...
This topic is not about

What's so strange? The topic is kind of about contact grills, isn't it? I chose the grill for a long, really long time, and in this thread I asked for reviews, and in another, I read clouds of topics on the internet, on store sites, foreign blogs ...
The advantages announced by you have become an overweight: heating in the plates themselves and adjusting the temperature of the plates separately. The manual mode does not scare me or my husband, on the contrary, the ability to turn off the bottom when you need to fry one top or vice versa often helps.

P.S. Interpretation of the saying: "Everyone praises what is familiar and dear to him, what is close or dear. It is said as a joke when someone praises the place where he lives, or the business he does."

The agony of choice is over, I ordered Tefal OptiGrill GC724D12 with a baking sheet, at first Delongy ordered 1030, by the way, the order has not been canceled yet anyone else needs it for 18,929 rubles, I can help, only I am in Barnaul, but somehow it didn’t happen, at first I wanted on credit, The full name was mistaken in the letter, then the second order did not grow together - I left, it was not possible to pay and pick up, the third time again the technical overlays, the fourth time I ordered, today they must deliver to the store. I went to mvideo yesterday, watched both grills live, I liked both. The consultant girl very beautifully told about them, fell in love with both, the night passed in dumka, now there is an action in Eldorado, send an SMS for a discount, I tried a discount of 5 tons. on Tefal OptiGrill GC724D12, I'm shocked what to take, I read reviews everywhere, in confusion everything, in the morning I consulted with my daughter, she has a very good relative of her husband in the dns, lives in the north, he also advised said only OptiGrill Tefal to take, therefore ordered. Sorry for the confused answer, but somehow it happened,

What's so strange? The topic is kind of about contact grills, isn't it?

that DeLongy is very cool and I'm really glad that I chose him and not Tefal.

Do you know which advertising law was one of the first to be passed? I don't remember literally, but the point is that you can't advertise your product to the detriment of another, you can't even compare (I'm talking about advertisers, not about us). That is why I was surprised that you say: "It's good that I took this one, not that one." Such a statement is logical in a situation when "that" is not very good, and "this" is beautiful. Well, or when a person tried both options, giving preference to one, since he revealed the shortcomings of the other.
If I were only faced with a choice now, then on the basis of your words I would have made just such a conclusion.

My grill is not the first, but the total number of available or tried-and-tested devices is off scale

I chose the grill for a long time, since the previous experience of using GFgril showed that I played around and abandoned it in favor of the air fryer. The first GF220 Rosso turned out to be defective, handed over under warranty. But I liked the second GF-150 very much, it's a pity that they are no longer produced.
That is, I know very well what a manual setting of temperature and time is, including for different panels. And also the presence of a flat plate. Personally, this did not suit me, because every time I could not adjust to the desired product and overexposed. The flat plate also did not take root in the household.

In the tefalk, the baking tray is primary for me, since 85% of the time it is in operation. We rarely use plates, since this is far from the only device for cooking meat, etc.

My husband basically doesn't want to memorize the settings for each product, but when everything is clear and obvious, then everything is much easier. And my son, when he gets a little older, will also be able to cook food without any problems.



As for the reviews, no one says that the delongues are bad. IMHO, for this money, a very adequate product.
Even my friend, who bought a bork grill for 50k, and then tested the delongues with her sister, admitted that she was very wrong in her choice.

Here is another thing - the vast majority of users have tried too little of everything to make an objective impression. And most of the reviews about multicooker, grill, etc. are rave, simply because compared to traditional cooking, this is a breakthrough and truly new experience.

But local members of the forum are already much more critical, because it has already been, figuratively: 10 multicooker, 8 food processors and machines, five vegetable cutters, five different types of ovens, 6-7 different types of blenders, 5-6 pizza ovens, dozens of small appliances needed and not so much, an innumerable number of attachments, accessories and mega-need little things

[anna_k]

anna_k, thank you for such a detailed review!
milka80, Prus - 2, thanks for sharing!
On tefal, on ixbt I read a lot about the fact that they often fail the device that determines the thickness of the meat, and, accordingly, the cooking time of the product. Its baking sheet attracts me too
As for the additional plates, I really want 2 grooved and at least 1 flat.
There is a multibaker for waffles, but I think let me pay extra for the difference of 1000r and I will have a full set of panels than in the 2 + 2 version
I don't know if I understood clearly

Barnaul, please tell me what kind of a discount?

In Eldorado special offer send SMS to the number and get a discount on a certain type of product. I got a discount of 5 tons. Does not apply to delongues. Tefal will be delivered after March 10. Photos from me and feelings

Delongues on wildberis for 15,992 rubles without any SMS is a very reasonable price

Yes, I read such moments about tefalka, but so far everything is in order with mine.
For example, a successful copy of a multi-body was also not caught the first time, but in general - a wonderful device.

[anna_k]

anna_k, I ran to look, it shows 19 990
Barnaul, we are waiting for a report and emotions from you

[Elmira]

I ran to look, it shows 19 990

I wonder why this is so, I went to look for the sake of curiosity, I have 15992 like Anya,Elmira, are you registered on the WB? maybe this is only for registered

[Svetlana777]

Svetlana777thanks for the hint!
it turns out I didn't log in with my username, went in and saw the price 15992



Ordered Delongy 1030 on Wildbury
Will bring on the 8th of March
So exciting!

Good morning everyone, I'm like a dog in the manger, running around, peeping, reading, ordering, and in the end I gave up tefalka (I hope I won't regret it, the difference is 10 tons at the moment) and eventually bought Delongy for wildberis for 15992 rubles. I somehow got a box weighing 15 kg to the car, for some reason I thought it would be with a handle, but where ours did not disappear. Yesterday I baked pancakes (I forgot to put sugar in them, but I left with honey) and waffles (I never baked or ate such waffles, I ate them in the morning, they were already a little damp, I need to get used to it in the morning or leave them to dry on a wire rack, added to the waffle dough apple, maybe more damp because of it), but so far the feelings are ambivalent. Although a very beautiful device, so stately. On the weekend I plan wings, and tomorrow for breakfast hot sandwiches. Gadot read the instructions carefully again.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, Congratulations on your purchase, let it serve for a long time and please with cooking!
Pancakes, waffles - good, but not serious for such a unit, let's cook the meat and drag it here ... into a pancake, fasting, we will assume that it does not apply to patients

Thank you for the congratulations
Then the fish boom ... And the wings

I read reviews here and also bought a Delongey 1030, but he did not please us for long, as much as half a month. Somehow I was frying waffles without a timer, and the next day he gave an error that he did not see the temperature sensor. We were taken to the service, for almost a month now and not a word, as they say. So do not rush to scold Tefal, Delongey is also not ideal, as it turned out

Appeared in our family Tefal Optigril. But I am not yet very inspired by the result of Grilling as a grill first. Cooks meat for a long time, about 20 minutes ...How much should you? I expected it to be faster. Does not fry the bottom. Must? Or just from above?

[Aygul]

AygulI think 20 minutes is a very long time. The bottom, of course, must also be heated and roasted meat. Either the temperature is not enough, or he had too much meat, or something else was wrong.

[Cifra]

Cifra, meat, of course, not a piece)), almost the entire panel is laid. So you need a little? Lay half?
In terms of temperature, there is an automatic machine in the same place, it gradually heats up and peaks when each level is reached, heats up for a long time at the beginning, so most likely yes, I impose a lot, so it takes a long time

[Aygul]

Aygul, I don’t know, I have simple tefal, but I only get a badly fried bottom if I fold half a pack of breasts, for example, and the liquid starts to stand out. But in any case, this is not 20 minutes, but 3-4.
I would try to fry one or two pieces of meat in yours, to see if it's a matter of quantity.
But I only put meat on the hottest grill.

[Aygul]

Aygul, set the desired mode, wait for the grill to heat up. And then put the food in and wait for the ready signal (I wait for the red signal and the melodic sound, that is, until it is completely ready), then remove the food and turn off the grill. All




The husband is looking for the perfect recipe for pork, and it has already come to work with a tenderizer and marinade.
In general, he is smart! Each time it turns out more and more delicious))))
And the most important thing is that you don't need to memorize the settings, the grill itself signals that the meat is ready!

[anna_k]

anna_kit is clear that the grill must be preheated

How long does it take to get the same pork?
My husband also says that you need to tender and pickle, not like in advertising, you still need preparation

[Aygul]

Aygul, it felt fast, 7-10 minutes maximum, to be honest, did not detect. We are guided by signals.

Grilled chicken wings yesterday. Although you need to adjust or set the temperature less (200 is indicated in the recipe book) or choose another marinade. I marinated in soy sauce and ketchup, does it look like the ketchup is burnt? All the same, my grandson, my daughter and I really liked it. The daughter asks to rent a grill. After the wings, I baked waffles-cookies, that's why the recipe: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=521528.0... Here already my husband really liked it. Well, the experiments will continue. I can’t buy fish, in the store near the bebe’s house, there’s no way to the ribbon or auchan. But everything will work out. I know

[Barnaul]

Barnaul, Tima's mom, Aygul, girls with shopping you! Let them delight and work perfectly, without failures!
Svetka, Svetlana, I sympathize with how the story ended?

From me another portion of photos. Pork, time 2.5 minutes, then shifted for a beautiful drawing and another minute. No marinade, only pepper and salt for the finished slice. A couple more minutes to rest and yum-yum, lick your fingers



It may not be serious to grill something other than cooking meat / fish, but since he often stands at the "workplace" than other devices, he now cooks different varieties

Omelet. The case when I reduced the bottom so that it does not burn out, but the top just "reached".






Dumplings toasted until crispy - mmm



And cheesecakes for breakfast.



I'm sorry that everyone is in the night, I didn't mean

Do you know which advertising law was one of the first to be passed?

Irina, reread Anna's post (anna_k). You did not see ads in it
As I understand it, everyone reads and interprets the text as he wants, your right.
I am satisfied with my grill and am glad that when choosing, in his favor there was an advantage .... So it won't be an advertisement?

[milka80]

milka80, Irina, as always, an amazing result!

Without marinade

What do you (in the sense of all members of the forum) generally think about the marinade? For some reason, it seems to me, based on the short experience of using Steba PG4.4, that with the marinade it is necessary to come to a clear understanding of the sugar balance when it will not burn. Because, at the initial high temperature, ketchup or honey / sugar marinade can turn into black charcoal scales and spoil the taste of the finished product.

Who has any thoughts?

And I don't see the pictures ....:.Today I will try to marinate the wings only in soy sauce and a little in oil plus salt. I’ll probably throw some sugar. It seems to me that Lyuba Prus - 2 wrote what kind of marinade she uses. Lyuba, answer me! ...

I also do not see pictures, but I would very much like to see medium steaks and wings from Tefalca And Delonga.

[Barnaul]

Barnaul, Rada-dms, I see all the pictures from both the phone and the computer ...

Who has any thoughts?

I don’t even know, I haven’t made any sweet even once, I should try.

milka80, Irina, as always, a great result!

Thank you!

I see all the pictures

but I also can't see the pictures, I was waiting for something to appear somehow, but alas, the square and next to it says that it is

[Svetka]

Svetka, Svetlana, I sympathize, how did the story end?

Yes, nothing, I'm still waiting, the service said that the details are taking a long time, we have to wait. We sit and wait! now in any case I will not refuse about it, very tasty and fast. I'm thinking, maybe you couldn't cook waffles without a timer? Although my husband says that this is nonsense, he should work without a timer. It's not 100 pieces at a time, but only 8.
Girls, do you always turn on the timer?

[milka80]

milka80, Irina, I saw the pictures as soon as you put it up. That is, last night. Today they show me a "brick" (road sign) in gray. Can you reload it through the HP gallery?

Barnaul, Svetlana, I forgot to wish you friendship and understanding with your new assistant! Let the hostess please only!

[Svetka]

Girls, do you always turn on the timer?

Svetka, Svetlana, I don't use a timer at all. If I'm cooking meat, then I stick in the Ikea temperature probe, and if it's waffles, then I just open it up to see if it's fried or not, and that's it. So it's not the timer (you).

All right, I'm calm now, thanks! It means that it was simply not lucky, it can be survived.

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, Sveta, overfilled, can you see it now?

Girls, do you always turn on the timer?

Differently when yes, when not. If you need to move away from the stove, then I put it, if I am nearby, then no.

While uploading new photos, I found them in my memory.

Squid tentacles


Burger cutlets. I cook them to the state of a medium and wrap them in foil. They reach there, do not dry out and remain juicy.


Shrimp again)))


Cutlets


Grilled vegetables

[milka80]

Svetlenki, Sveta, overfilled, can you see it now?

Damn, it would be better if I hadn’t asked. Well, this is some kind of gastronomic torture! And I decided to finish off with tentacles

milka80, Irina, everything is very beautiful! You can see that you work great with him!

[Irina]

Irina, now all the pictures are visible, how many yummy things are stunned, everything is just super!

All Ira. In the evening I will show your photos to my husband, let him faint and tomorrow will run to the service to make them a sick head.

And I decided to finish off with tentacles
milka80, Irina, everything is very beautiful! You can see that you work great with him!

Sveta, I didn't want it, the word is chess)))) Squids are super-duper, the main thing is not to overexpose, otherwise they will be rubber. My children fell in love with them. You can marinate in soy sauce, literally for 5 minutes, you can without it - for an amateur, in general

Irina, now you can see all the pictures, how many yummy things are stunned, everything is just super!

All Ira. In the evening I will show your photos to my husband, let him faint and tomorrow will run to the service to make them a sick head.

Yes, yes, let them give them a kick for the right direction))) So that they do everything quickly, otherwise they keep the whole family without sweets

milka80 what are you doing, needlewoman! Well done!
Thank you very much Svetlenki.
milka80 tell me, do you fry meat at 230 degrees? Do you marinate grilled vegetables first? And pzhl about squid in more detail - temperature? An omelet, I understood in a mold, must be purchased. The grandson loves omelette.
Yesterday I made kuronogi, the marinade was only oil and soy sauce, the temperature was 200 degrees and still burned. I guess I got a hot man. I'll have to reduce the temperature on each product, only while the waffles are going out with a bang. The husband ordered another portion. Today I will fry pork, I have a temperature probe.

[milka80]

milka80, beauties !!! I've never seen squid tentacles on sale.
Girls, an optigril with a tray for 7000 + shipping appeared on CU. Very reasonable price (we have a pallet for 6000 sold, if that)

TEFAL Optigrill + Snacking & Baking GC7148 schwarz tefal

[Anya]

Girls, an optigril with a pallet for 7000 + shipping appeared on CU. Very reasonable price (we have a pallet for 6000 sold, if that)

Anya, and you have such a grill? Just now I climbed to the KU to look and got stuck, just some kind of ambush, I don’t understand how they differ? the power is the same, the color is different, maybe the surface is different? I'm sitting all in thought The one about which you wrote, did not find the dimensions (surface area for frying), there is no description of it on the site. attracts the frying pan. He has the same capabilities as

🔗

and this one has a 41% discount

🔗

Forgive me for inundating myself with questions, I just need a grill, but I still can't choose / decide

[Svetlana777]

Svetlana777, coverage is the same, six programs. I read about them, there are a lot of complaints on 702, the old model, there was a bug with the sensor. I would choose from 712 - 6 programs, an area of ​​600 sq. see Or with a tray - a baking sheet, as Anya showed.

Or take a larger Tefal Optigrill + XL with a GC724D12 baking attachment - 9 programs, an increased area of ​​800 sq. see There is the same, but without the baking sheet 724 which - Contact grill Tefal Optigrill + XL GC722D

I consider Tefal solely because of the pallet, because according to the photos of the products cooked in Delonge, I like the quality of the roast in it more, the photos are more interesting. Yesterday I watched Tefal live, of course, the plates are flimsy, but there is one plus for me that it is easier to wash by hand.
At Delonge, the plates are heavier, since they have built-in heating elements, the heavier impact will be on the surface of the steaks, and this is certainly better. Plus, the electronics "fly" faster.
In short, I also choose. And I choose the size ... Probably, I need to take a small one, so that it is convenient to use it every day with a small family.

I would choose from 712 - 6 programs, an area of ​​600 sq. see Or with a tray.

Ol, and the area is interesting with a pallet, there is no information there, either the same with 712, or not. It's embarrassing that the programs are the same, if the size is the same, then why is there such a discount for 712, and it still comes out more expensive than TEFAL Optigrill + Snacking & Baking GC7148 schwarz

Tefal Optigrill + XL with baking tray GC724D12 - 9 programs, 800 sq. cm.

I didn't find this at all, only Tefal Optigrill + XL GC722D (I'm looking at KU)

[Svetlana777]

Svetlana777, 600 with a tray. 800 in XL model



milka80, Ira, thanks for the photo! Class!
The question arose. How does the height between the plates change? There, your Delonge has, certain height positions (if there are, how many of them, and for what maximum steak height is the device designed?). Or, at your discretion, you can expose. And if, for example, we put in a steak 3.5 cm thick, it is fried, and I want to see the degree of cooking, I open it, and then again I need to adjust the height for this steak, since the top panel just lies down and presses with the whole mass, if not regulate?
This is critical for soft foods, such as zucchini, so as not to flatten them and squeeze out the juice.



Now spoke with the seller OBH Tefal Nordica OptiGrill Grill. On the one hand, he says that the analogue is complete Tefal, on the other hand, he assures that a saucer from pure Tefali does not fit. Then what is the analogue?

[anna_k]

In short, now I will live here with you, take it! And let's collect recipes, otherwise it's not a matter of just taking pictures!
The hand did not rise to buy from the officials.
Yesterday I bought a completely new one, with a one-year warranty and very cheap OBH Nordica Tefal Optigrill + Snacking Baking Grill.
True, I had to hit the road to Moscow from the dacha. Then, contrary to the seller's assurances that the waffle panels would not fit his grill, they rushed to MVideo. In the last minutes before closing, we bought panels using our big discount, which was already disappearing.
The panels fit perfectly, you just have to look where the top and the bottom are.
Then we stopped at a convenience store and bought all the products for the grill.
At night, they staged debauchery, but not strong - a mound and vegetables, "varnished" with waffles according to the above recipe. Waffle dough mixed in Ninza. I liked everything very much! We didn't even read the instructions, and without it, everything is clear how to use this grill.
Today the plans include shrimp and lamb chops on the bones. Chicken wings marinated for a week.
So I sit and think why I did not buy a contact grill before. Apparently because of the location. But now she sold something, gave something away, and the place can be found.
In general, I am very happy so far!
Ira-Kara, anna_k, Anya, milka80, Irina! Thank you very much for your reports, tips and photos!
