Description

With the Tefal Inicio Classic GC2718, you can grill 4 paninis or 6 hamburgers at the same time. That's because the grill has a large surface of 26 by 29cm. Thanks to the high 2000W power, the contact grill heats up in no time. You can put the ingredients in when the temperature indicator light lights up. That's useful, because you know exactly when the grill plates are hot enough. The drip tray catches the remaining grease. That way, the plates stay cleaner after use and you can easily clean them. Neatly store the cord at the bottom of the grill. You can store the grill upright, so it doesn't take up a lot of space in the cabinet.

Top grill

  • Heats up quickly
  • Easy to clean
  • Beautiful results
  • Lots of energy

The Inicio Classic Panini Maker & Grill meets our expectations. The boys (12 & 13) use the grill daily to make delicious toasted sandwiches and paninis. But in the meantime we have also used it to grill vegetables and meat, which it also works well on. The drip tray is ideal. The grill heats up quickly and the dishes are ready super fast. In addition, the grill is also easy to clean. We do see a significant energy peak when the grill has been on, but we are certainly willing to pay for it. We received a discount on the grill because of the test.

Super nice large grill

  • Handy size
  • Easy to clean up
  • Multifunctional

The Tafel inicio Classic is really an ideal large contact grill if you are looking for a grill that you can use for many things and that is also easy to store. I use it myself for grilling, for making toasted sandwiches and Paninis. I also use it myself for making quesadillas. The large square format makes it perfect for that. I find it handy that there is an on and off button on the side so that the grill does not immediately heat up as soon as you plug it into the socket. The contact grill also feels very robust and it looks that way too. You can prepare delicious dishes in no time. Cleaning is also very easy because there is a handy drip tray underneath. The only disadvantage is that it is very loose, which means that it can fall out when you pick up the grill. I am very happy with it and can't wait to make even more dishes with this grill.

Works great!

I have recently started using this grill. It heats up very quickly and is easy to use. The toasted sandwiches have been a success so far, also with my family! So it is definitely recommended!
