Description
Achieve flawless, uniform golden-brown toasting across toasted sandwiches, wraps, flatbreads, and artisan breads with the Infernus INF-PGSC Commercial Smooth Single Contact Grill. Tailored for high-street coffee bars, delis, sandwich shops, and mobile catering units, this 1.8kW commercial press provides 100% surface contact, eliminating uneven compression lines while doubling as an efficient mini flat-top contact griddle.
Commercial Smooth Contact Grill Features & Performance
- Smooth Flat-Plate Cooking Performance: Unlike traditional grooved plates that only sear along ridges, the flat enamelled cast iron upper (214 x 214mm) and lower (218 x 230mm) plates deliver total surface contact. Heat distributes evenly across the entire slice of bread or tortilla wrap, producing a consistent golden crunch in less time.
- Two-in-One Griddle Flexibility: The flat, smooth profile allows kitchen staff to use the unit as a high-speed contact griddle. Sear bacon rashers, fry eggs, toast English muffins, and brown halloumi or burger patties directly on the plates, making it exceptionally valuable for small-footprint kitchens.
- Easy-Clean Enamelled Coating: The heavy-duty cast iron plates feature a durable enamel finish that resists food sticking, stops grease build-up, and wipes clean with minimal scraping at the end of the shift.
- Adjustable 50°C to 300°C Thermostat: Smooth manual rotary dial gives operators fine-tuned control over cooking temperatures. Dial down to gently melt cheese inside pre-made wraps or crank up to 300°C for rapid sandwich toasting and searing.
- Rapid 1.8kW Thermal Recovery: High-efficiency commercial heating elements bring the cast plates to service temperature quickly and restore heat rapidly between orders, preventing temperature drops during continuous service.
- Cool-Touch Bakelite Front Handle: Heat-insulated Bakelite handle ensures staff can lift, press, and adjust the sprung top lid safely without needing oven cloths.
- Front Slide-Out Grease Collection Drawer: Fitted with a removable front-mounted waste tray that catches melted cheese, fat run-off, and loose crumbs directly beneath the cooking area for quick disposal and sanitation.
- Durable Commercial Stainless Steel Body: Solid food-grade stainless steel casing protects internal components from grease and kitchen steam, ensuring dependable service and straightforward cleaning.
- Standard UK 13A Plug Connection: Operates on standard 220–240V commercial single-phase electrics with a factory-fitted 13A 3-pin plug for immediate plug-and-play installation without dedicated hardwiring.
