Plate area, and where the fat goes · review
The only contact grill of the four with a food probe and a published temperature range. Philips states the probe monitors the core temperature of the food, digital control sets anything between 60 and 220 °C (428 °F), eight presets cover the usual jobs, the top opens 180° into a table grill, and the plates are removable.
The net of it The grill that borrows the best idea from the thermometer hub. A probe reading the inside of the food is the only way to stop guessing, 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, which neither the ADE nor the Tefal give. It also opens flat and its plates come out. The omissions are the plate area and the wattage, so it cannot be compared on size or power with the Tefal.
This is why the model exists. Philips publishes a food probe that monitors the core temperature of what is on the plates — the same idea this site gives an entire accessory hub to, built into the grill.
Everything else in this family is a thermostat measuring 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.
We report the instrument. What temperature corresponds to what result, and what any food-safety target is, comes from the manufacturer’s manual and from your national food safety authority.
60 to 220 °C, digitally set. The only published range among the table grills here — the Tefal gives three unnamed steps, the ADE a stepless dial with no numbers on it. 60 °C (140 °F) at the bottom is low enough to hold rather than cook.
Philips publishes eight presets and describes them as simplifying the process rather than listing them individually. The top opens through 180° into a flat table grill, as on the ADE and the Tefal.
Removable, non-stick, with a removable fat tray. Same right side of the durability line as the Tefal and the Braun.
No plate area and no wattage. Against the Tefal — which publishes 93 in² (600 cm²) closed and 186 in² (1,200 cm²) open — this model cannot be compared on the one dimension that decides how many people eat at once.

Philips states it monitors the internal temperature of the food so a cooking level is reached rather than estimated. The temperatures that correspond to particular results, and any food-safety targets, are published by the manufacturer and by your national food safety authority — this page reports the instrument, not the target.
60 °C (140 °F) is the published floor, and 220 °C (428 °F) the ceiling. It is the only contact grill on this site with a published range at all: the Tefal offers three unnamed steps and the ADE a stepless dial with no degrees.
