Key Features of the Philips HD6371/94

What are the key features of the Philips HD6371/94? Here’s what to expect.

Smoke-less Infrared Heat Technology

Note that the promise is “smoke-less.” Meaning, depending on the food being grilled, there might still be smoke produced, but as advertised, it should be up to 80% less smoke.

How is this possible?

Through advanced infrared technology. The Philips HD6371/94 is equipped with infrared emitters and special reflectors to guide heat towards the grid. The result is evenly grilled and browned food. Since infrared targets water molecules, the grease/drip tray underneath remains cool enough to minimize the production of smoke from grease that may fall into it.

Constant Temperature

Another claim is that while conventional grill has fluctuating temperatures, the Philips HD6371/94 maintains a constant temperature throughout the grilling process – 446° F degrees, to be exact, which is said to be the perfect temperature for searing meat.

Simple and Easy-Setup Design

There is little assembly involved, and it should take less than a minute. Just a quick slide-in of the drip tray into the base and the grilling grid positioned correctly onto the base, and you’re good to go.

Consumer Feedback: Pros and Cons of the HD6371/94

What do previous buyers have to say about their unit? In this part of our Philips smoke-less indoor grill HD6371/94 review, we give you a summary of this grill’s pros and cons, as provided by consumers.

Pros

• Smoke. There are varying comments and feedback as regards the level of smoke produced when cooking or grilling with the Philips HD6371/94. People have reported “minimal” to “normal” smoke levels depending on what you’re preparing. One person said that he has cooked harmburger patties and “there was no smoke.” Another said he has cooked “hot dogs, burgers, and steaks” and there is minimal smoke. That said, although this grill is advertised as an indoor grill, it’s always best to use it outdoors or with your fume hood on.
• Cleaning. One, the grates are coated with a non-stick finish, so they clean easily. The drip tray is also removable, so cleanup should also be easy.
• Heat. A common question about grills: Does it heat up the kitchen? With the Philips HD6371/94, it doesn’t. Some people also say that since the heat is reflected upwards, a grill mat is not necessary.
• Taste. This is an electric, infrared grill. One of the disadvantages of not using charcoal when grilling is that the resulting food is devoid of that smoky flavor that you’d probably want. But other than that, using this grill should give you juicy grilled meat and tender veggies that you’d get when you use a gas or charcoal grill.

Other Comments

• There is a heat-up time. You need to pre-heat this grill for 6 to 7 minutes.
• Nope, it’s not recommended for outings. As advertised, this grill is for indoor use only.

Limitations

• Unfortunately, adding wood chips is not recommended.
• The cord is approximately 3 feet in length, which can be too short to some people.
• There is no cover for this grill.
