The Lincat LPG2 is a real grafter. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and  does it brilliantly.

  • Pros: The dual-plate elements ensure food cooks evenly without needing to be flipped.
  • Cons: At over 40kg, it's quite hefty, so find its home and  leave it there.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Daily Grind," a popular coffee shop in the heart of Sheffield, was struggling with lunchtime queues caused by their single, slow panini press. They needed to increase their speed of service without compromising on the quality their regulars expected.

"Since we brought in the Lincat LPG2, our lunchtime service has been completely transformed. We can now have two separate orders on the go at once, which has slashed our ticket times. The quality is spot on every time, and  the customers have definitely noticed the difference."

Tom Wilson – Owner

The upgrade led to a measurable outcome: The Daily Grind successfully reduced their average customer wait time by 40% during the peak 12-2 pm period.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a stable, level countertop with at least 100mm of space around it for ventilation.
  • Before first use, lightly season the cast-iron plates with a little cooking oil and  heat for 15-20 minutes.
  • Ensure the power socket is easily accessible and not overloaded with other appliances.
  • The unit is 'plug and  play', so just plug it into a standard 13 amp socket and  you're ready to go.

Keeping It Going

  • Always clean the plates while they are still warm (but not scorching hot) using a stiff, non-metallic brush.
  • Empty and  wipe down the removable fat collection tray at the end of every service.
  • Never pour cold water onto hot plates as this can cause them to crack.
  • Wipe the stainless steel body with a soft, damp cloth and  a suitable cleaner to keep it looking smart.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Panini Press

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

Capacity: Single vs. Twin

Consider your busiest hour. A single grill is fine for quiet spots, but a twin model like the Lincat LPG2 is essential if you want to avoid bottlenecks during the lunch rush.

Plate Type: Ribbed or Smooth?

Ribbed plates give you those classic, Instagram-worthy grill lines. Smooth plates are more versatile for things like eggs or crêpes and  are slightly easier to clean.

Plate Material: Why Cast Iron Wins

Cast iron holds its heat far better than aluminium, giving you faster cook times and  more consistent results, especially when grilling back-to-back orders.

Power: Plug-In or Hardwired?

A 13 amp plug offers ultimate convenience – you can set it up anywhere. More powerful units may need to be hardwired by an electrician, adding to the initial cost.

Footprint: Measure Your Space

Counter space is precious. Always measure the intended location before you buy to ensure your new machine will fit comfortably and  safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I cook things other than paninis on this grill?

A: Absolutely. It's great for grilling bacon, burgers, vegetables, and  toasted sandwiches. The ribbed plates add a lovely chargrilled finish to all sorts of food.

Q: Does this machine require a specialist electrician to install?

A: Not at all. The Lincat LPG2 comes fitted with a standard UK 13 amp plug, so you can just plug it into the wall and  start using it straight away.

Q: How do you clean the grooves in the ribbed plates effectively?

A: The best way is to clean them while still warm. Use a stiff-bristled, non-wire brush to gently scrub away any residue. The enamel coating helps prevent food from sticking stubbornly.

Q: Are the top and  bottom plates heated?

A: Yes, both the upper and  lower plates contain powerful heating elements (1kW in the top, 1.25kW in the bottom) for balanced, even cooking without needing to turn the food.

Q: Can I adjust the temperature?

A: Yes, it features a precise thermostatic control dial, allowing you to set the perfect temperature for whatever you're cooking, from light toasting to heavy searing.

Q: What is the 'park' position?

A: It's a safety feature. The well-balanced mechanism allows the top plate to be locked in an open position, so it won't accidentally fall shut while you're loading or unloading food.

Q: Is it suitable for a mobile catering van?

A: Yes, its plug-and-play functionality and  robust build make it a popular choice for mobile caterers, provided you have a suitable power source that can handle a 4.5kW load.

Q: Are the cooking plates removable for cleaning?

A: No, the plates are fixed. This design ensures maximum heat transfer and  durability, which is crucial for consistent performance in a commercial setting.

Why Enamelled Cast-Iron Plates Make All the Difference

Ever wonder why some panini presses give you a soggy sandwich while others deliver that perfect, crisp finish? The secret is often in the plates. Think of the Lincat's cast-iron plates as a thermal battery. Unlike cheaper materials that lose heat the second you put cold food on them, cast iron stores a massive amount of energy. This means it delivers a powerful, consistent sear, instantly sealing the outside of your bread for that satisfying crunch without overcooking the inside.

The enamel coating is the clever bit. It gives you a naturally non-stick surface that's far easier to clean than raw cast iron, preventing food from getting baked into the grooves. It's the best of both worlds: the unmatched heating power of traditional cast iron with the convenience needed in a modern, fast-paced kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Cafés: Effortlessly expand your hot lunch menu and  serve customers faster during the midday rush.
  • Bustling Delicatessens: The twin plates are perfect for handling complex orders with different fillings simultaneously.
  • Farm Shops & Garden Centres: A brilliant, low-fuss way to add a profitable hot food offering for your visitors.
  • Pubs & Bars: Ideal for serving up quick, tasty bar snacks and  toasted sandwiches with minimal staff training.
