smart grilled is connected to the Internet if you're a true grilling fanatic seasonal changes probably won't keep you from coming outside and cooking up your favorites and in that spirit we decided to take the six thousand nine hundred and ninety nine dollar links smart grill out for a spin this week one quick glance of this girl and it's very clear that it's a premium product but there's a lot more to it than its high-end looks for starters this thing is Wi-Fi enabled and has android and iOS apps full of recipes that you can use to track your food remotely then the grill will walk you through the entire cooking process it's great for novice grillers basically setting everything to the correct temperature for you letting you know exactly when you need to flip the corn and take it off the grill most of these connected features worked really well I received prompt updates both through the voice control feature as well as in the app and everything I cooked from the recipe database including corn on the cob beer can chicken and filet mignon turned out very well but it's really hard to overlook the fact that this thing costs seven thousand dollars and the fact that its built-in microphone often had trouble understanding me even if I was standing right next to the speaker and enunciate as clearly as I possibly could so do you need a nearly seven thousand dollar grill to make a decent meal absolutely not but the connected app actually did make a grilling novice like me a bit more comfortable with the process on the other hand the voice control feature was really hit or miss it actually made the process a little bit more frustrating a little bit more complicated than it even needed to be that makes this excellent performing premium looking girl kind of tough to recommend in its current state just because for six thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars I would expect it to be nearly perfect in terms of features usability performance and design still it's a fair option for folks with a really big grill budget who like advanced features like remote ass functionality be sure to check out my full review at cnet com I'm Megan bulletin for seen at appliances
