The R78 electric panini griddle operates at 1800W single-phase power to cook panini, sandwiches, and pressed items in commercial kitchens. Ribbed contact plates apply pressure and grill marks across a 45 cm cooking surface. Designed for breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens, and catering operations requiring consistent output during service hours.

Commercial Application

This unit fits into front-of-house or back-of-house workflows where pressed sandwiches and grilled items are prepared to order. Staff load product, close the heated top plate, and release finished items within 2-4 minutes depending on fill and temperature setting. The ribbed surface provides grill marking while draining excess fat into perimeter channels.

During breakfast and lunch service, operators typically queue multiple items in sequence or run continuous batches for grab-and-go displays. The 45 cm plate width accommodates two standard panini simultaneously or one larger ciabatta-style sandwich. Single-phase 230V connection permits installation in kitchens without three-phase infrastructure.

Key Operational Advantages

  • 1800W heating element delivers consistent surface temperature across ribbed plate area
  • Hinged top plate adjusts to variable sandwich thickness without manual clamping
  • Perimeter grease channel collects runoff from cheese, oils, and meat during pressing
  • Single-phase 230V operation compatible with standard commercial kitchen circuits
  • 20 kg unit weight permits countertop placement without structural reinforcement
  • Ribbed contact surfaces create grill marks and facilitate fat drainage during cooking

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What material are the cooking plates made from?

A: The ribbed plates are commercial-grade steel with applied non-stick coating. The surface withstands repeated heating cycles and metal utensil contact when used according to manufacturer cleaning protocols.

Q: How is the grease channel cleaned during service?

A: The perimeter channel collects runoff during cooking and is accessed by lifting the top plate to full open position. Staff wipe the channel with absorbent material between batches or remove the drip tray if the unit is equipped with one.

Q: Can this unit be installed in a food truck?

A: Yes, the single-phase 230V requirement and 20 kg weight suit mobile kitchen installation. Secure the unit to the counter surface and ensure the electrical supply meets the 1800W load with appropriate circuit protection.

Q: Does the griddle have separate temperature zones?

A: No, the R78 operates as a single heating zone controlled by one thermostat. Both top and bottom plates reach the same set temperature for uniform cooking across the surface area.

Q: What is the heat-up time from cold start?

A: The unit typically reaches operating temperature within 8-12 minutes from a cold start. Actual time varies with ambient kitchen temperature and selected thermostat setting.
