La Gourmet Multi-Purpose Infrared Grill Reviews

This grill is awesome! I use it at the office so I do boot have to go out and purchase lunches. I use it near an open back door for ventilation and I noticed there is little to no smoke when cooking. It makes it very convenient. When opening the box it was ready for use. All I needed to do was plug it in and it was ready to go. The cooktop heated evenly which allowed for even cooking. I was very impressed with this infrared technology grill. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We got this a month ago and we love it! I'm going to start by mentioning how elegant this La Gourmet Infrared Grill looks, the black quartz looks great, makes it look very modern and clean. If you need an Infrared grill that heats up very fast then this is it, it heats up to 650F in 2 minutes! Versatile, you can grill, boil or broil using any pot, skillet, pan, saucepan, etc., possibilities are endless. It also comes with a low rack so can get those amazing grill marks on your burgers, chicken, basically any food you wish to make it look delicious. When you are done cooking and need to cook other food you can just move the first dish to the following are while still cooking different dishes and knowing you have peace of mind that this quartz is perfect for cooling also, very convenient. Also, to the left of the grill you have a very useful waste oil area, it works great and you can remove and wash it, quite simple but efficient. The LED display and control panel to the right of the grill are just extremely easy to use, it has the time settings, power button and the temperature setting sliding area, even my 10 years old was able to get it going with no problem (I was supervising). I do want to mention that you can increase or decrease the temperature while cooking. The beep sound when using the control panel let's me know is working and that I am adjusting the temperature, same beep when using the power button and timer. So far we used it for cooking steak, hot dogs and burgers, they cooked wonderful, the meat came out tender and the hot dogs had beautiful grill marks, we will start cooking bigger dishes as the weather starts cooperating more so we can use it on the back patio. Cleaning of this grill is easy, I basically used a piece of cloth and water after I was completely sure the surface was cold, the instructions say wait at least until is room temperature but I waited a little longer. It weights only 10 pounds so it makes it very easy to take it to a picnic, camping or just any event where you need it and you know you can plug it in. Overall we love this infrared grill and we will for sure keep on using it for various venues and types of cooking, I suggest give it a try and I hope you like it as much as we did.

This Grill has so many awesome features! My favorite has to be the low rack ! It's perfect for making pork chops on so they have the lines and are cooked completely through evenly! It also can be used with any pot or pan. It gave me so many new options to play with! It also gets up to 650 degrees! I love this new grill! So easy to use!

This grill is simply amazing. This grill has great features I love the fact that it is electric it heats up extremely fast and I tried sausage as my tester. They turned out great. They were flavorful and I would definitely recommend this item to my friends and family. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

First off, I've never heard of an infrared grill. So basically this was the first time ever using one. This grill has a glass top, kind of like those electric/induction cooktops. But this one, you can use any type of cookware unlike an induction cooktop. The heating range is between 200-650 degrees and it boils water super quick. All buttons on the cooktop is like a touchscreen instead of actual knobs which is nice. But I did notice, there was a lag when I swiped between 350-500 degrees. This cooktop also comes with a grill grate that you place onto the cooktop for grilling and a drip pan is included along with metal tongs. I think this multipurpose grill would be perfect as an extra grill for those who like to throw parties, since not everyone has a large 6 burner stove. But I personally like it since I can use this as a fryer since I can control the temperture easily.  *Also, pots and pans go directly on the glass. Overall Measurements : 22in x 13in Cooking space : 13 3/8in x 9 7/8 in [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I was very excited to use my indoor grill for the 1st time. When I took everything out, including the instructions booklet I realized that it doesn't have many instructions. I decided to try it out with thinly sliced chicken breasts, to see how long it usually takes to cook something thin and work my way up from there. I went ahead and preheated it to 350° f for chicken like indicated on the instructions. I went ahead and placed the chicken. After waiting for a few minutes and seeing not much happening to the chicken I put the temp higher to 500°f (on instructions it says chicken 350-500°). After waiting over 15-20min and still not getting any grill marks or color to the chicken, I raised the temp to 600°. By this time the chicken was cooked but still had no grill marks or color to it, that being the reason I raised it to 600°f. After this it finally started getting some color but no grill marks, also, by this time the chicken was over cooked and dry. Next time, I will preheat at 600 and place chicken at this temp to try to get better grilled chicken. Hopefully with use, I will get better at understanding how to better use this grill. Cleaning it after was somewhat difficult because I couldn't get the burnt grease off of it. I tried wiping it with warm soapy water and a sponge and it was difficult to remove, it didn't just wipe off. Pros: Drains fats Convenient Able to use Indoor use Cons: Lack of instructions No recipe book Have to swipe a couple of times to get temp. desired. Not easy to clean [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The description of this "grill" seemed appealing. My first attempt to use this was to cook some frozen, precooked chicken burgers. I initially set it to 350 degrees. After about 20 minutes of waiting for it to cook these, I ditched the grill grate, turned the temp up to 500, and cooked them on the cooktop. Another 5-10 minutes and they were finally heated through. The second attempt was to heat water in a small pot on the cooktop for boxed macaroni and cheese. I set the temp to 500 degrees in hopes of it working better. After half an hour, the water temp was only up to 143 degrees. I gave up and put the pot on my stove to get it done. The instructions for this barely tell you how to do things on this "grill". Also, the touchscreen temperature control isn't very responsive. This really seems to be a fancier hot plate. I would only recommend it if you had no way to use a stove. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I am in love with the La Gourmet Multi Purpose Infrared Grill. We love going to restaurants that have table top grills/griddles or hot pot or fondue, and enjoy the company of friends and family on the table while we all try to grill or "cook" our meal. With the La Gourmet Multi Purpose Infrared Grill, we were able to mimic the experience at the comfort of our home. The great thing about the La Gourmet Multi Purpose Infrared Grill is it is a grill as well as a stove. The La Gourmet Multi Purpose Infrared Grill is also great to use while serving meals, set it low, and keep warming a serving pot of soup or rice or main dish. The controls are touch - and needs getting used to, at first I could not figure out how to turn it on - when you turn on the appliance, you need to swipe upwards on the temperature setting. We were able to have a good charred barbeque taste while using the La Gourmet Multi Purpose Infrared Grill. As a hot pot server, we were able to maintain a nice constant boil with our broth and everyone had a nice meal. Because the La Gourmet Multi Purpose Infrared Grill is not just a gril, but also a table top stove, you gain a back up stove for your kitchen. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Shipping was fast just got the grill. Plugged it in and its amazing, it heats up real fast and evenly. Made some chicken on there and it grilled perfectly even and tasted amazing as if it was made on an outdoor grill. Definitely reccomend this! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Ok so its not a bad product i used to grill up some pork chops and boneless skinless chicken breast. It was fine at first but the longer i was using it the smoke kept getting worse in my home. I followed the directions that came with it and the longer i used the worse the smoke. So i had turn it off and finish an cooking the food. Now this will work perfectly for camping i think it should be used out side not inside. The drip pan was not much help all the drippings went under it. Took me awhile to clean it and it was a mess. But i will use this again but outside. I had open all my windows to air out the smoke took about 2 hours to clear out. And thank god it was a warm day out cause its winter time and can get really cold where i live. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
