Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Top Marks For: The rapid heat-up time is genuinely impressive for a 13-amp unit.
  • Worth Noting: The fixed hinge works well but lacks the flexibility of a floating hinge.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a popular deli in Bristol, was struggling with a slow, domestic-style toastie maker that couldn't keep up with their lunchtime queues. They needed a professional upgrade that was fast, reliable, and  didn't require complex installation.

"The Modena WF114 was up and  running in minutes. The difference was immediate – we're getting paninis out twice as fast, and  the quality is so much better. The non-stick surface is a lifesaver when we're flat out."

Tom Williams – Owner, The Corner Slice

Since installing the Modena WF114, The Corner Slice has reduced its average ticket time during the lunch peak by three minutes and  seen a 20% increase in sandwich sales.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  well-ventilated countertop with easy access to a standard 13-amp socket.
  • Before first use, wipe the Teflon plates with a damp cloth and then a light coating of cooking oil.
  • Heat the grill for about 10 minutes to 'season' the plates. You might notice a slight smell, which is perfectly normal for the first use.
  • Ensure the drip tray is correctly positioned at the front to catch any excess oils or fats.

Keeping It Going

  • Always switch off and  unplug the grill before cleaning, allowing it to cool down completely.
  • Wipe the plates with a soft, damp cloth and  a mild detergent after each session. Avoid using metal scrapers or abrasive pads which can damage the Teflon.
  • Empty and  clean the removable drip tray regularly to prevent grease build-up.
  • Periodically check the power cord for any signs of wear and  tear.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Sandwich Grill

Not sure what to look for in a professional grill? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the right machine for your business.

Plate Material & Coating

Teflon-coated plates, like on the Modena WF114, offer superb non-stick properties and  are very easy to clean. Cast iron holds heat longer but requires more maintenance and  seasoning.

Size and  Capacity

Consider your counter space and  how many sandwiches you need to make at once. A dual-press like this is a great middle-ground, offering good output without a huge footprint.

Power and  Plug Type

A 13-amp plug model is ideal for most small businesses as it works with any standard UK socket. Higher-powered models might require specialist hardwiring.

Temperature Control

An adjustable thermostat is essential. It lets you go from gently melting cheese to quickly searing bread, giving you versatility across your menu.

Ribbed vs. Smooth Plates

Ribbed plates give those classic, appealing grill lines on paninis. Smooth plates are better for things like quesadillas or crêpes and  are slightly easier to wipe clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the Modena WF114 take to heat up?

A: Thanks to its 1550W element, it reaches optimal toasting temperature in just a few minutes, much faster than a domestic machine.

Q: Can I cook other things besides paninis and  toasties?

A: Absolutely! It's great for toasted wraps, quesadillas, focaccia, and  even for grilling vegetables or bacon in a pinch.

Q: How should I clean the Teflon plates?

A: Once it's cooled down, simply wipe the plates with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive sponge with a little washing-up liquid.

Q: Is this grill suitable for a mobile food truck?

A: Yes, its compact size and  standard 13-amp plug make it a very popular choice for mobile catering operations.

Q: What is the ideal temperature for making a panini?

A: A good starting point is around 180°C to 200°C. This is hot enough to toast the bread and  melt the fillings without burning the outside.

Q: How many sandwiches can it make at once?

A: It's designed to comfortably hold two standard-sized toasties or paninis side-by-side.

Q: Does the top plate adjust for thicker sandwiches?

A: The hinge allows the top plate to rest evenly on the food, ensuring good contact and  consistent cooking even with thicker bread or generous fillings.

Q: What does having a 13-amp plug mean for my business?

A: It means you don't need an electrician or special wiring. You can plug it directly into any standard wall socket in your kitchen, just like a kettle.

Why the Teflon Coating is a Kitchen Lifesaver

Ever spent ages scraping burnt cheese off a grill? The Teflon coating on the Modena WF114's plates is designed to make that a thing of the past. Think of it as the ultimate non-stick surface, built to handle the demands of a busy kitchen. This special layer, also known as PTFE, creates a super-smooth barrier between the hot plate and  your food.

This means two things. First, you get a perfect release every time, so your beautiful paninis won't tear or stick. Second, cleaning becomes incredibly simple. Instead of needing a scraper and  some serious elbow grease, a quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually all it takes to remove any grease or crumbs. This saves precious time during busy service and  at the end of a long day.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Local Cafés & Coffee Shops: Perfect for expanding your lunch menu with a reliable, easy-to-use panini press for cafes.
  • Pubs & Bars: A fantastic, low-cost way to add hot bar snacks and  boost food sales.
  • Deli & Sandwich Bars: Speed up your takeaway service with a grill that can handle the constant demand of a lunch rush.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: Its compact size and  standard plug make it ideal for kitchens where space is a premium.
