The GMT01 is a 50 cm gas-fired panini contact grill with ribbed cast iron plates. A single burner heats the base plate while the weighted upper plate compresses and toasts up to 10 slices simultaneously. Used in burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens, and food trucks where pressed sandwiches, panini, and flatbreads run continuously during service.

Commercial Application

Operators place pre-assembled panini or flatbreads onto the lower ribbed plate. The upper cast iron plate lowers under its own weight to apply consistent compression across the cooking surface. Heat transfers from the gas burner through cast iron, producing grill marks and toasting both sides in one operation.

During breakfast or lunch service, this unit handles queued orders without sequential batch delays. Ten-slice capacity allows parallel production when order volume spikes. The single-burner configuration runs on natural gas supply without electrical load on kitchen circuits.

Construction & Build Quality

The GMT01 uses ribbed cast iron plates on both upper and lower surfaces. Cast iron provides thermal mass for sustained heat distribution during high-frequency opening cycles. The stainless steel housing resists corrosion from steam, grease splatter, and acidic ingredients common in sandwich preparation. The weighted upper plate mechanism operates without hydraulic or spring-loaded components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What material are the cooking plates?

A: Both upper and lower plates are ribbed cast iron. Cast iron retains heat during repeated opening cycles and produces consistent grill marks across the 50 cm surface.

Q: Can this unit operate on LPG instead of natural gas?

A: The GMT01 ships configured for natural gas. Conversion to LPG requires burner nozzle replacement and regulator adjustment. Contact TurcoBazaar for LPG conversion kit availability.

Q: How is grease removed from the ribbed plates?

A: Grease drains into the front collection tray during cooking. After service, operators scrape residue from ribs using a metal brush while plates remain warm. The collection tray slides out for daily washing.

Q: Is this unit suitable for food truck installation?

A: The 9 kg weight and 43 × 50 × 27 cm footprint fit standard food truck counters. Natural gas connection requires mobile LPG bottle if street natural gas is unavailable. Ensure adequate ventilation meets local food truck regulations.

Q: Can the upper and lower plates be set to different temperatures?

A: No. The single burner heats the lower plate only. The upper plate receives indirect heat through contact with food and steam. Temperature control is manual via the gas valve.
