The Lincat LCG2 is a classic for a reason; it’s a real grafter. It’s built like a tank but performs with surprising precision.

  • Cons: At nearly 40kg, it’s a hefty unit to move for deep cleaning.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Daily Grind' in Cardiff needed to expand their hot food menu after a new student accommodation block opened across the street. Their old single grill simply couldn't keep up with the demand.

"We were getting queues out the door for our toasties. The Lincat twin grill let us double our output instantly without sacrificing a lot of counter space. The quality is spot on, and  it just keeps going all day."

Robert Hughes – Manager

The upgrade slashed customer wait times by half during peak hours and  contributed to a 35% increase in hot food sales within the first month.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  non-combustible countertop for the unit.
  • Ensure there is at least 100mm of clear space around the grill for ventilation.
  • Before first use, season the cast iron plates with a light coating of cooking oil and  heat for 10-15 minutes.
  • Simply plug the fitted 13 amp plug into a suitable wall socket. No hardwiring is required.

Keeping It Going

  • Always clean the plates while they are still warm (not hot!) using a scraper and  a damp cloth.
  • Empty the removable fat collection tray at the end of each day's service.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and  a food-safe cleaner.
  • Regularly check the power cord and  plug for any signs of wear or damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Contact Grill

Not sure which grill is the right fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider.

Plate Type: Smooth vs. Ribbed

Smooth plates, like on this LCG2, are incredibly versatile for everything from eggs to paninis and  are far easier to clean. Ribbed plates are great for giving those classic chargrill marks to meat and  sandwiches.

Single vs. Twin

A twin grill is essential for high-volume sites. It allows you to double your output or keep different food types, like vegetarian and  meat, completely separate during cooking.

Power & Recovery Time

Look for high wattage (this one is a hefty 4.5kW) for quick heat-up and, crucially, fast recovery times. This means less waiting for the grill to get back to temperature between orders.

Build Material

Cast iron plates offer superior heat retention for consistent results. A stainless steel body ensures the unit is durable, hygienic, and  can withstand the demands of a commercial kitchen.

Countertop Footprint

Always check the dimensions (W x D) to ensure the grill fits comfortably on your countertop without crowding your valuable workspace and  leaving room for ventilation.

The Secret to the Perfect Sear: Why Cast Iron Plates Matter

Ever wondered why some grills produce a perfectly golden, crisp panini while others turn out a bit... soggy? The answer is often in the plates. Think of this grill's enamelled cast iron plates like a battery for heat. While thinner metal plates lose temperature the moment you put cold food on them, cast iron soaks up a massive amount of heat and  holds onto it. This means it delivers a powerful, consistent sear instantly, creating that perfect crust and  sealing in flavour without having to wait for the element to catch up. It’s the key to professional-level results, time after time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Cafés

    Ideal for cranking out perfectly grilled paninis and  toasted sandwiches during the lunchtime rush.

  • Bistros & Pubs

    Quickly cooks steaks, burgers, or chicken breasts with consistent, professional results every single time.

  • Farm Shops & Delis

    A perfect countertop solution for offering a hot food-to-go menu without a full kitchen.

  • Mobile Caterers

    Its simple plug-and-play setup makes this a reliable and  powerful choice for event stalls.
