  • Pro: The plug-and-play setup is brilliant; it's operational within minutes of unboxing.
  • Con: It's purely a grill, lacking extra features like a griddle plate for eggs or pancakes.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a seaside pub in Whitby, wanted to launch a new 'Grill Night' menu but was restricted by their kitchen's lack of gas lines and  extraction for a traditional chargrill. They needed a powerful, plug-in solution that could sit on their existing countertop.

"The Modena BQ60 was exactly what we needed. We were up and  running in an afternoon, and  the customers absolutely love the taste of the burgers. It’s simple for the team to use and  clean, which is a massive bonus during a hectic service."

Robert Miller – Pub Landlord

The new menu was an instant success, allowing them to increase their midweek food sales by over 30% without any major kitchen renovation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop with at least 10cm of clearance around the unit for ventilation.
  • Before first use, wash the grill racks with warm, soapy water and  wipe down the unit.
  • Slide the drip tray securely into place at the bottom of the grill.
  • Plug the 13-amp plug into a suitable mains socket and  you're ready to pre-heat.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the grill to cool completely before attempting to clean it.
  • Empty and  clean the drip tray after every service to prevent grease build-up.
  • Use a wire brush to remove any cooked-on food from the grill racks while they are still slightly warm.
  • Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and  a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scourers.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Grill

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a professional electric grill for your restaurant or catering business.

Power Source & Location

Electric grills like this one are perfect for indoor use and  only need a standard socket. If you need something for off-grid events, a gas model might be better, but they often require more ventilation.

Size & Capacity

Consider your available counter space and  your expected output. This model's 600mm width is great for small to medium-sized kitchens, offering a good balance of footprint and  cooking area.

Heat Control

A wide, adjustable temperature range is crucial. It allows you to sear at high heat and  gently cook or hold food at low heat, giving you far more flexibility than a simple on/off grill.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that make cleaning less of a chore. Removable racks and  a drip tray are non-negotiable for a busy kitchen environment. A stainless steel body is also much easier to wipe down.

Material & Durability

Your grill needs to withstand daily use. Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it’s tough, hygienic, and  resistant to rust and  corrosion.

How a Wide Temperature Range Unlocks Your Menu's Potential

You might see '50°C to 300°C' and  just think 'hot is hot', but the real magic is in the versatility this range gives you. Cranking it up to 300°C gives you that intense, direct heat needed to achieve a perfect, caramelised sear on steaks and  burgers in minutes. That's your key to authentic BBQ flavour and  those desirable grill marks customers love.

But the lower end is just as important. Dropping the temperature to 50-70°C transforms the unit from an active grill into a holding station. Imagine you've just cooked a batch of sausages or chicken skewers. Instead of letting them go cold or risk overcooking them under a heat lamp, you can hold them on the grill at a perfectly safe, warm temperature. It’s like having a grill and  a warming drawer in one compact appliance, helping you stay ahead during the busiest rushes.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Bars: Ideal for adding high-margin items like gourmet burgers, steaks, and  grilled chicken wings to your bar menu.
  • Cafés & Bistros: Perfect for upgrading your lunch offering with grilled paninis, halloumi salads, and  cooked breakfast items.
  • Street Food & Mobile Caterers: A reliable, portable indoor electric BBQ grill that's easy to transport and  set up at markets and  events.
  • Small Event Kitchens: A fantastic, compact solution for pop-ups or small function catering where space and  power are at a premium.
