Product Description
Just because it's snowing, sleeting, or raining outside is no reason to forego the pleasures and health benefits of grilled food. Grill in the comfort of your kitchen with this user-friendly appliance. A splatter shield and tempered glass lid keep grease off your counters while sealing in flavorful juices. Don't trouble yourself with messy clean up either; both the grill surface and the drip tray are removable and dishwasher safe! Now where are those steaks?

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

 Can't comment on durability but so far really nice August 17, 2010
Joe Average (Cookeville, TN)
I'll comment later on durability but we REALLY enjoyed the chicken my wonderful wife cooked for us last night on this grille.
No mess. Chicken was tender and properly seared on the outside. Nice grill marks on the chicken, not that this matters much.
Cooking time was a reasonable ~20 minutes (plenty of time for other ingredients to cook). Finished chicken was done right and still juicy. Seems the George grilles that friends have used for meals they made for us might dry out the meats cooked on them. Or maybe that is how friends like to cook their meat. I don't know. The George grilles also seem expensive for their sizes. For me to buy a George grille this size would have been very expensive. Also haven't been able decipher the George grille model list yet. Seems to be two dozen different George grilles with only slight differences between them.
We like to grill outside with our gas grille when the bugs aren't eating us for dinner or when it isn't raining or when snow isn't blowing. On these occasions or when we want the minimum fuss - we'll use this electric grill.
Read the instructions. The last few pages are the most important. Don't submerse the grille heating element or the thermostat in water. That means the dishwasher is out. You can use the dish washer for the lid and base and drip pan. Preheat the grill for 10 minutes. There is a warmup light I think my wife said. Heat until the light goes off. Those last pages of the manual tell you which temps/times to use for what kind of foods.
Lastly foods that don't lay flat are not going to cook well such as drumsticks. They need to contact the grill surface to cook. Fillets, steaks and hamburgers ought to do well. I'm going to try grilling veggies soon.
Looks very similar to the Hamilton-Beach and Sanyo grilles. Oh and - "Made in China" unfortunately. Where have all the "Made in the USA" or at least in Italy products gone?
 Doesn't Char August 16, 2010
Ari
I bought this grill because of all it's positive reviews on this site. I've cooked chicken skewers, lamb chops and burgers on it so far. I couldn't seem to get the grill hot enough to get the outcome I desired (a char crust) even with the lid on. I guess it will have to do for rainy days when I can't use the propane grill outside. I would Look into other grills and specifically their cooking temps. I wouldn't buy this grill if I had a choice to do it again!
Pleasantly surprised August 10, 2010
Mr. M. Segers (Decatur, Ga.)
While this grill will never replace my charcoal grills and wood smoker it is a great option when you want to grill and the temperature is hovering around a hundred and the mosquitoes are swarming. Obviously you don't get the flavor of charcoal or wood smoke but there is a very good sear.It gives some of the best grill marks I have ever seen. The heat on high after a 10 minute warm up is about comparable to a medium or medium high fire on a charcoal grill so for some things a longer cooking time is required. I cooked hamburgers 4 minutes to the side on high with a 3/4" thick patty which is how I cook them over charcoal and it was perfect. Grilled shrimp were done in about 3 minutes to the side. While the flavor is not the same as cooking over charcoal or wood, it is comparable to the taste of meat cooked on a gas grill only without the insects and hot weather.
Best Pork Chops I have ever made! August 9, 2010
Blondie10
My husband and I got this as a wedding present and we LOVE it! I cooked pork chops that I had marinated and they were the best that I have ever cooked! They were so moist and tender! I simply followed the cooking instructions in the manual and they cooked perfect! They tasted so much better than when I have cooked them on the stove top or when I baked them. I was reading some of the negative reviews about how they think it's stupid that you have to cook with the glass top on. If they would have read their manuals, it actually tells you not to cook with the top on. The only time I use the top is when I am trying to keep something warm until the rest of my meal is done. I am so glad we got this grill! It is wonderful.
Great cooking device August 9, 2010
SOPHIE
This is an excellent indoor grill or outdoor however you prefer to use it.What impressed me the best was the easy way to clean this grill after use.I hate cleaning ovens and grills because of the difficulty getting items apart and cleaning inside small crevices this grill impressed me for both cooking and cleaning purposes.
