Ask a Question About This Product
The HAKI 101016 is a double contact grill with a ribbed upper plate and smooth lower plate. It presses and grills burgers, panini, steaks, and toasted sandwiches in burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, and hotel kitchens. Operators control heat via adjustable thermostat and adjust pressing force with a swivel head mechanism.
Commercial Application
Positioned on cook lines where simultaneous grilling and pressing is required. The unit compresses product between two heated surfaces, reducing cook time and marking food with grill lines on one side while keeping the other smooth. Operators handle multiple portions during breakfast and lunch rushes.
Used during service to sear burgers, toast sandwiches, or grill chicken breasts while managing other prep tasks. The pressing action speeds throughput. Grease drains into a removable tray below the cooking zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface cast iron or stainless steel?
A: Both plates are cast iron with ceramic coating. The ribbed upper plate and smooth lower plate retain heat and distribute it evenly. Stainless steel is used for the body and frame only.
Q: Does this model run on gas or electric?
A: The HAKI 101016 is electric only. It requires a single-phase connection to UK mains supply. No gas variant is manufactured for this model.
Q: How does grease drain and how is the unit cleaned?
A: Grease channels run to the front of the lower plate and collect in a removable drip tray. Operators remove the tray after service and wipe plates with the included scraper. Ceramic coating reduces residue buildup.
Q: Can this grill be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes, provided the truck has adequate electrical capacity and ventilation. The unit weighs approximately 20 kg and fits standard prep counters. Secure mounting is required to prevent movement during transit.
Q: Does the grill have separate temperature zones?
A: No. A single thermostat controls both plates simultaneously. Operators adjust pressing force via the swivel head to manage different product types, but heat remains uniform across the cooking surface.
