"Grills don't need AI, but you might need an AI grill. When it debuted at CES early this year, the Brisk It Zelos-450 was advertised as being "the first grill with generative AI." That AI comes in the form of "Vera," an in-app feature that "creates customized recipes based on your input" and then sets the grill's temperature to cook them."
"AI is notoriously bad at recipes (unless you're a glue pizza aficionado), and who needs a recipe for a burger or steak? Since the grill can't physically stop the cook and pull your meat off the grates, what's the real difference between an authoritative AI voice telling you your food is done and a temp alert from the probe? And yet, the Zelos is a great buy, especially when priced below $300 during an end-of-season sale."
Brisk It Zelos-450 includes a generative-AI feature named Vera that creates customized recipes based on user input and sets the grill's temperature. Vera produced simplistic or inappropriate outputs, such as adding coffee to a standard rib rub and overusing tequila in a sauce, and it misidentified a photo of ground meat, pickles, mustard, and eggs as unrelated to wood pellet grilling. The grill's hardware, Wi‑Fi connectivity, pellet system, and design deliver capabilities often found on much pricier grills. When priced under $300 during sales, the Zelos-450 offers exceptional value for buyers seeking a compact pellet grill.
