Sage the Smart Grill Pro

I wanted a grill big enough for two steaks of reasonable size, and used a temperature probe. While the dimensions are clear in the product description, I wasn't prepared for just how big the grill would look on the bench. I could easily cook six well sized steaks on this grill. Probably eight "Supermarket" sized steaks. It is heavy as well. I use the probe every time. The steak holds a lot more juices than when cooked under a gas grill. So far, cooking just one steak at a time, the drip tray has never received a drop. Wiping the plates with a damp sponge is all that has been required afterward. I think I would have preferred two ribbed plates. I am thinking about buying an extra flat and ribbed plate so that I can use two flat or two ribbed plates. So, if you want properly cooked steaks, get this grill.

I had the Breville entry level grill for a few years and was used everyday in place of a toaster. We upgraded to the smart grill and roast cooked the nicest eye fillet ever to perfection in a matter of minutes with the help of the probe. It’s also great for toasting nuts, toasted sandwiches and reheating pizza. Clean up is easier than we could have imagined with the removable plates. I thought the additional weight would be a problem but it moves easily around on the bench compared to the entry level grill. Highly recommend

This thing is amazing. Cooks extremely well and is easy to clean

Appliance was used once (after wiping plates clean but leaving in place) and plates then washed, dried and reinstalled. Wanted to use again the next day but got Er 1 error. Have removed plates and reinstalled them a number of times but no luck. Plates feel secure and correctly installed but the Er 1 error will not disappear. Very disappointing.

Have used this product a couple of times, mostly excellent performance, let down by simple issues. Temperature probe keeps popping out of receptacle on side. Controls are easy to understand but control screen could be a bit bigger. You have to bend down to read screen. Cleaning is a breeze. overall very happy with purchase.
