Commercial Double Contact Grill | Panini Press | 3600W Smooth Bottom | Blizzard BRSCG2

Q: What's the main benefit of a ribbed top and  a smooth bottom plate?

A: It gives you fantastic versatility. You can get classic char-grill marks on paninis and  meat with the top plate, while using the flat bottom plate for things like eggs, pancakes, or achieving a perfectly even toast on the base of a sandwich.

Q: How quickly does it heat up to cooking temperature?

A: Thanks to its powerful 3600W element and  cast iron plates, it heats up very quickly, typically reaching optimal cooking temperature in just a few minutes.

Q: Can I cook raw meat like chicken breasts or burgers on it?

A: Absolutely. The high-temperature range of up to 300°C is more than capable of cooking meats thoroughly and  safely. The double-sided cooking speeds this up significantly.

Q: What does 'counter-balanced top plate' actually mean for day-to-day use?

A: It means the heavy top plate won't crush your food. It applies even, gentle pressure, which is ideal for delicate items like croissants or paninis with soft fillings.

Q: Are the temperatures for the two plates controlled separately?

A: No, this model features a single manual thermostat that controls the temperature for both cooking plates simultaneously, ensuring even cooking across the entire surface.

Q: How do you 'season' the cast iron plates?

A: Simply wipe a thin layer of cooking oil onto the cold plates, then turn the grill on to a medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes until the oil has baked on. This creates a natural non-stick surface.

Q: What kind of plug does this grill use?

A: It comes fitted with a standard UK 13 amp plug, so you can plug it straight into a regular mains socket without needing an electrician.

Q: Is the included wire brush safe to use on the cast iron plates?

A: Yes, it's designed specifically for cleaning cast iron and  is the best way to remove baked-on food without damaging the plate's seasoned surface.
