More Than Just a Sandwich Press: A True Multi-Cooker
The first thing to know about the Smeg Multi Grill range is that it’s built to replace several appliances on your benchtop. Thanks to a clever design and a generous set of included cooking plates, it effortlessly transforms to suit what you’re cooking. You get grill plates for classic toasties and char marks, a flat griddle plate for eggs and pancakes, and even dedicated waffle plates for the perfect weekend breakfast.
- Contact Grill Mode: This is your go-to for incredible toasted sandwiches, paninis, and wraps. The top plate cooks from above for fast, even results and beautiful grill marks.
- Open BBQ Mode: The unit opens up a full 180 degrees, doubling your cooking surface. This is perfect for grilling steaks, burgers, sausages, or vegetables for the whole family, just like an indoor barbecue.
- Oven Mode: By locking the top plate so it hovers just above the food, you can create a mini-oven effect. It’s fantastic for delicate items like fish, or for perfectly melting cheese on an open sandwich without squashing it.
Smeg is famous for its stunning design, and this range is no exception. With smooth curves and classic chrome details available in vibrant red, elegant cream, and timeless black, it’s an appliance you’ll be proud to display. But the beauty isn’t just skin deep. Inside, a powerful 2000W heating system gets the plates hot quickly and distributes that heat evenly, so you can say goodbye to inconsistent cooking. For those who love a perfect steak, the dedicated Sear function gives the plates a short, intense blast of heat, locking in flavour and juices for that restaurant-quality finish.
Getting the perfect result is simple with Smeg’s thoughtful controls. An LCD display clearly shows the temperature and time, while intuitive preset programs for Panini, Waffles, and Burgers take the guesswork out of cooking. Of course, you can always adjust the settings manually to suit your own recipes. When you’re finished, cleaning is a breeze. The high-quality, PFAS-free ceramic non-stick plates pop out with the press of a button and are completely dishwasher-safe. An integrated drip tray catches any excess oils for healthier cooking and slides out for easy cleaning, keeping your benchtop spotless.
How Does the Smeg Grill Compare?
- Compared to Breville: Breville grills are known for their practical, sturdy designs and excellent features like adjustable height control. They are fantastic at making toasties and grilling meats. The Smeg range takes this a step further by offering a complete cooking system with multiple interchangeable plates (including for waffles) and true BBQ/Oven modes, wrapped in that unmistakable retro design.
- Compared to De'Longhi: De'Longhi MultiGrills are strong performers, often featuring similar functions like searing and independent plate temperature controls. The key difference often comes down to style and what's in the box. The Smeg Multi Grill stands out with its iconic 50s aesthetic and the inclusion of waffle plates as standard, making it a fantastic all-in-one choice for design-conscious home cooks.
