The Breville Smart Grill™ Pro (BGR840) is a versatile indoor grilling appliance designed for precision cooking and ease of use. It functions as a contact grill, panini press, and can open flat into a BBQ mode, offering a 1650 sq. cm grilling surface. This adaptability allows users to sear meats, cook eggs, pancakes, and vegetables, or prepare sandwiches and open melts.
The core function of the Smart Grill™ Pro is to cook food using direct heat from two cooking plates. It features a 2400-watt embedded heating element system with Element IQ™ technology, which uses sensors to detect temperature drops and inject heat for rapid recovery, ensuring consistent cooking temperatures and reduced preheating times.
A key feature is the integrated probe with Smart Settings, designed to achieve consistent doneness results for various meats. The grill comes with five pre-programmed meat settings (Beef, Lamb, Pork, Poultry, Fish), each with pre-set temperatures for different doneness levels (Rare, Medium Rare, Medium, Well Done). When using the probe, the grill guides the user through selecting the meat type and desired doneness. The probe is inserted into the thickest part of the meat, and the LCD screen displays the current internal temperature and the target temperature.
The grill also incorporates a "REST MEAT" indicator, which alerts the user to remove the meat from the grill before it reaches the final SET TEMP. This accounts for residual heat (carry-over cooking) during the resting phase, preventing overcooking and ensuring juicier results.
For general grilling without the probe, the appliance offers a Temperature Dial with specific modes: SEAR (210°C-230°C) for fast preheating and searing, PANINI (sandwich) (180°C-205°C), and LOW (160°C-175°C), along with the ability to select alternative temperatures in 5°C increments. The LCD screen illuminates orange during preheating and stops flashing once the selected temperature is reached.
The grill's design allows for multiple cooking configurations:
The Breville Smart Grill™ Pro is designed to be a user-friendly and efficient appliance, offering precise temperature control and versatile cooking options, all while prioritizing safety and ease of maintenance.
