Square centimeters, or a probe

Tefal GC3060 3-in-1 Contact and Table Grill vs Philips HD6307/70

Do you need to know how much fits, or how done it is?

Each publishes exactly what the other leaves out. Tefal gives you square centimeters; Philips gives you degrees and a probe. Neither gives you both.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these products answer different questions.

Which of the two belongs in your kitchen

GC3060 3-in-1 Contact and Table Grill

No amazon.com listing was found for this one. We hold references for other markets but none for the United States, so it may not be buyable here — which is the first thing to weigh against anything below.

Take the Tefal if you need to know how many people it feeds. About 93 in² (600 cm²) closed and 186 in² (1,200 cm²) open are the only published surfaces among the table grills on this site, and it publishes 2,000 W alongside them. Its thermostat is the weak half: three steps, no degrees.

HD6307/70

Take the Philips to stop guessing whether the food is done. A probe reading the core temperature is the only way, and this is the one contact grill here that has one — with a published 60 to 220 °C (140 to 428 °F) range behind it. You will not know its plate area before it arrives.

What readers want to know

What does the probe change in practice?

Every other grill in this family measures the plate. A plate at 200 °C (392 °F) tells you nothing about the middle of a chicken breast, and that gap is where the guessing happens. Target temperatures for particular foods come from the maker and from your national food safety authority.

Is 186 in² (1,200 cm²) enough for four?

It is the largest published figure among the table grills here and the only one published at all. Compare it against your own table rather than against another maker’s adjective.
