Product Description

The DeLonghi Alfredo Indoor Grill utilizes an embedded heating element to deliver heat evenly throughout its cooking surface. The die-cast aluminum grill plate has traditional raised ridges for perfect searing of steaks, burgers, frankfurters, and more. The grease drips through slotted openings and is collected in a drip tray below the grilling surface. The grill itself is recessed in the unit to prevent excessive splattering, and a tempered glass lid also acts as a splatter shield, while keeping heat and moisture in the cooking area to prevent foods from drying out. A variable heat control dial provides settings from 1 (keep warm) to 5 (450 degrees). The lowest settings are well suited to slower cooking or more delicate items, such as fish fillets. At the highest setting, you can quickly sear meats and seal in juices. The large 12x16-inch cooking surface accommodates up to six medium burgers or two large steaks in a single batch. Although the lid does not allow adequate room for roasts or whole chickens, thick cuts of beef, spare ribs, and hearty chicken breast pieces are no problem for this unit. A cooking guide in the instruction book gives approximate times for different food items. You can also use the Perfecto Grill to reheat previously cooked food or keep cooked foods at the ideal serving temperature. The base and handles are made from cool-touch plastic for safe handling. Both grill pan and drip tray are coated with a non-stick surface, which means foods won't stick and cleanup is easier. 1500 watts

When the weather is too cold to stand outside over the gas grill, fire up the Perfecto indoor grill instead. This electric grill has an embedded heating element and a special M-shaped grill design so the entire surface area heats up and grilling results are more consistent. Its adjustable, detachable thermostat has five temperature levels and can be adjusted low for grilling corn or other vegetables and higher for steaks or shrimp. The grill surface itself is nonstick, so less oil is required for cooking and swordfish steaks flip nicely without sticking. A nonstick splatter shield surrounds the edge of the grill to prevent walls and countertops from getting greasy and a drip tray below the grill’s surface catches any juices. Both the cooking surface and tray remove easily for painless cleanup. For the most tender and juicy meats, the tempered glass lid fits over the grill to retain moisture while still allowing the chef to check on meat’s progress. For safety, the Perfecto has cool-touch handles to prevent fingers from burns and an indicator light to show when the grill is heating up. The glass lid is dishwasher-safe but the grill surface and drip pan must be washed by hand. Delonghi covers the Perfecto under a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

Great Grill
Pros: The grill is much better than one of those grills that you close the lid on and squeezes the juices out. The grill is ideal for cooking boneless cuts of meats, sausages, and fish fillets. Grilling lines are easily achieved during searing. Results are the same as cooking on an outdoor gas grill.
Clean up is relatively easy. Putting tin foil is better than adding water to the drip pan; it's harder to clean up/dispose of the water mess. You must have a good non- scratching brush for cleaning the grill surface.

Cons: Only 1500 watts. Meats with bones do not cook evenly.

Bottom line: Great indoor grill for certain types of meat, poultry, and fish/seafood (shrimp). Would recommend purchasing.

DeLonghy Indoor Grill
The size of this grill is what I like best,it is also a brand I can trust. The only drawback I have found is that the grill itself is not as easy to clean as others I have had, because of where the heat unit is placed. The heat is evenly distributed, however, and it cooks beautifully.

Love my Delonghi Perfecto indoor grill!!
I love this grill! I am an outdoor grill enthusiast, and this grill comes very close. I found it to sear, and also cook to my satisfaction, food on the first try. Of course, food cooked on my indoor grill doesn't get caramelized or smoked like over coals or an open flame, but the taste factor ranks just as high. I have yet to be disappointed, and if great care is given, I don't think I will be!!
