QVC is selling the Optigrill tomorrow? Cool, we already have one and LOVE it.

I tried to find this 'opti-grill' here and on HSN I can't find it. Are you finding it somewhere else?

It looks like the Opti-Grill may be the TSV tomorrow? I'd like to see QVC's price as I have admired it from afar.

For those that may enjoy Ming Tsai's cookware, he has some good sales today. I purchased his wok earlier today if for nothing else but that great big glass lid! . . .

found it not at Q or HSN but on Bed and bath and Amazon. On the fence about it. Some say it's great, others, say it has trouble after 6 months. don't think it's big enough for big TBones stick with my Puck grill probably.

Well the good news is that you'll probably have plenty of time to see it demonstrated tomorrow . . .

I hope so. I'm a kitchen gadget freak. We need new products instead of the same ol' gunk. I think this grill is by T Fal. I suspect Q will have the best deal on it if your willing to wait 2 wks. or better. Be in processing 4 days, then, shipped out and take another 7 days and that's barring any Mon. Holidays or week end shut downs. I just like to drive 15 min to Bed and bath use my 20% coupon and bring it home all in same day. I had one thing that I ordered on a Mon. and it didn't ship out till the next Mon. Ye Gads ! I was mad.

Amazon , has the best service. B&B is good too. They ship to you FREE

Sharke, be aware that you can't cook boned meats in the Opti-grill...it interferes with the sensors in determining cooking time.

I bought mine from WalMart for roughly $150, so it'll be interesting what QVC's TSV will be. We've done boneless rib-eyes, burgers (frozen & fresh) frozen tilapia and asparagus with good results. Going to try pork chops tonight!

Grates are removable and dishwasher safe.

ETA: if you do a search here, there were several threads going on the Opti-grill.

Is that right? probably won't be much use to me then. LOL

chicken with bone in it, steaks, etc. I had a George Foreman I gave away. Guess this one wouldn't work for me, but, I'd watch the presentation.

I'll do a search when Q comes back on I get the message "Q is temporiarily down right now , try later". LOL

Thank you so much for this and they would have had me at perhaps free s&h but I think I'm going to have to pass on this right now (that's a lot of s&h for a TSV in my opinion).

Re: Cooking Items on all channels!

Lacey1 — Tue, 29 Sep 2015 21:28:07 GMT

mtc, you're right about $14 S&H is pretty high. I have an old Wolfgang Puck paninni maker. It makes a great spatchcock, (?) chicken-but other than that-I don't use it. I will pass on the Opti-grill, even though I like T-Fal products.

I love T-Fal products but I really have to think about this one. I have a small panini grill from WP but in my opinion it overgrills everything unless you watch it every second. The OptiGrill has always interested me because you can control the temperature but I think this is going to be a pass for me.

For now.

Think I'll stick with my Puck BIG Grill. This would be nice for one person, but, we buy big steaks bone in and this one couldn't cut it.

Thanks for the link !

This Opti grill is not the plus model w/temp control. The optigrill plus is $180 at B B& B.

LOL, I can never keep track of the different models on this kind of thing. The ceramic plates are a big bonus IMO. I sent the link to my son, he likes those things.
