Commercial Half-Ribbed Panini Grill Features & Performance

• Hybrid Half-Ribbed & Half-Smooth Plates: The ribbed upper plate (214mm x 214mm) brands the top of paninis, focaccia, and sourdough melts with prominent café-style sear lines. Meanwhile, the flat, smooth lower plate (218mm x 230mm) maintains total surface contact with the base of the bread, eliminating cold spots and guaranteeing edge-to-edge golden crunch.
• Multi-Purpose Griddle Capabilities: The flat bottom plate allows line cooks to use the unit as a compact contact griddle. Fry eggs, sear bacon rashers, grill halloumi slices, or brown burger patties directly on the lower plate with quick scrape-downs between tickets.
• Heavy-Duty Enamelled Cast Iron Construction: High-density cast iron plates provide superior thermal retention and rebound quickly between orders. The smooth enamel surface coating resists carbonised food build-up, simplifies scraping, and reduces the need for heavy seasoning.
• Accurate 50°C to 300°C Thermostatic Dial: Smooth manual rotary thermostat gives operators complete heat control. Dial low for gentle warm holding and slow cheese melting, or dial up to 300°C for rapid sandwich toasting and protein searing during lunchtime rushes.
• Rapid 1.8kW Thermal Recovery: High-efficiency commercial heating elements bring plates to working temperature swiftly and recover heat immediately when chilled sandwiches are loaded, preventing soggy, steamed bread.
• Cool-Touch Bakelite Front Handle: Heat-resistant ergonomic handle ensures kitchen staff can lift, press, and adjust the sprung top lid safely without needing cloths or gloves.
• Front Pull-Out Grease Collection Drawer: Fitted with a removable front-mounted waste drawer positioned to capture rendered fats, oils, and breadcrumbs, making mid-shift wipe-downs and end-of-day washdowns effortless.
• Durable Commercial Stainless Steel Housing: The solid food-grade stainless steel body resists kitchen steam, grease, and daily commercial use, wiping down in seconds at the end of the shift.
• Standard UK 13A Plug Connection: Operates on standard 220–240V commercial single-phase electrics with a factory-fitted UK 13A 3-pin plug for immediate plug-and-play installation without dedicated hardwiring.
