Ask a Question About This Product
This contact grill applies heat from both top and bottom plates to cook burgers, paninis, steaks and toasted sandwiches in high-volume service. The ribbed upper plate and smooth lower plate deliver distinct cooking surfaces for varied menu items. Operators use it in burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens and catering operations where dual-sided cooking reduces preparation time.
Commercial Application
The unit sits on countertop or prep station. Staff load product, lower the hinged top plate and monitor doneness through visual inspection. The adjustable swivel head accommodates items of varying thickness without manual flipping. Grease drains into a removable tray during cooking.
During breakfast service it toasts sandwiches and heats flatbreads. During lunch and dinner it sears burgers and presses paninis. The ceramic-coated cast iron retains heat between batches. One operator manages multiple items across both plates without dedicated grill station supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the cooking plates chrome or steel?
A: Both plates are cast iron with a ceramic non-stick coating. Chrome plating is not used. Cast iron retains heat better than steel plate during high-volume cooking.
Q: Is this grill electric or gas?
A: Electric only. The unit requires single-phase 230V power supply. No gas conversion kit is available for this model.
Q: How is grease removed during service?
A: Grease channels along the front edge of both plates drain into a removable stainless steel tray. The tray slides out without tools and can be emptied mid-service.
Q: Can this unit be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes, provided the truck has 230V mains power or a suitably rated inverter. The unit must be secured to the counter to prevent movement during transit. Ventilation requirements remain the same as fixed kitchens.
Q: Does the grill offer separate temperature zones?
A: No. A single thermostat controls both top and bottom plates simultaneously. Temperature is uniform across the entire cooking surface. Operators adjust one dial to change heat for all items.
