Expert Review and  Insights

The Modena TPG10 is a real grafter. In a commercial setting, you need equipment that just works, and  this grill delivers on that promise. It's not packed with bells and  whistles, but its core function—grilling things quickly and  evenly—is spot on.

  • Workflow Winner: The dual controls are brilliant for handling multiple orders and  dietary needs.
  • Power Point Planning: It needs two separate 13-amp sockets, so check your counter layout first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Hungry Scholar, a student café in Durham, was struggling with long queues at lunchtime. Their single grill was a major bottleneck, limiting both their menu and  their turnover. They needed a solution that would increase capacity without a full kitchen refit.

"The Modena twin grill was exactly what we needed. We can now run a meat option on one side and  a vegan option on the other with no delays or cross-contamination issues. Our lunch service is so much smoother now, and  the students love the speedy service."

Ben Carter – Manager

The café successfully reduced average customer wait times by over 60% and  increased their hot food sales by 40% in the first term of use.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the grill on a flat, stable, and  non-combustible countertop.
  • Ensure you have two separate, easily accessible 13-amp sockets. Do not use extension cords.
  • Before the first use, wipe the cast iron plates, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, and  heat for 15 minutes to season them.
  • Allow at least 10cm of clearance around the sides and  back for proper air circulation.

Keeping It Going

  • After each service, use a grill brush or scraper to clean food residue from the warm (not hot!) plates.
  • Empty, wash, and  dry the removable front drip tray daily to maintain hygiene.
  • Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and  a food-safe detergent.
  • Never pour cold water onto hot plates as this can cause the cast iron to crack.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Contact Grill

Not sure what to look for in a commercial panini grill? Here are a few key pointers to help you decide.

Plate Configuration

Ribbed plates, like on this Modena TPG10 panini grill, are perfect for creating those appetising char lines on paninis, wraps, and  meats. Smooth plates are better for eggs and  crepes.

Size and  Capacity

Consider your peak demand. A single grill is fine for light use, but a twin model like this is essential for high-volume sites to prevent customer queues and  lost sales.

Power Requirements

Always check your kitchen's power supply. This model needs two standard 13A sockets. Make sure you have them where you plan to place the grill to avoid trailing cables.

Materials Matter

Cast iron plates offer unbeatable heat retention for consistent cooking, while a stainless steel body ensures the unit is tough, durable, and  easy to keep clean.

Control is Key

A single thermostat limits you. Independent controls for each plate, as seen here, give you the flexibility to cook different foods at their ideal temperatures simultaneously.

Q: What are the cooking plates made from?

A: The plates are made from heavy-duty, ribbed cast iron, which is fantastic for retaining heat and  providing even cooking.

A: Absolutely. The grill features two independent thermostats, so you can control the temperature of each cooking zone separately.

Q: Is this a double panini press for restaurants?

A: Yes, its twin design and  robust build make it perfectly suited for busy restaurant, café, and  takeaway environments.

A: The Modena TPG10 requires two standard UK 13-amp plug sockets. It comes with two plugs already fitted for your convenience.

Q: How do I clean the cast iron plates?

A: Yes, it slides out from the front of the unit, making it very simple to empty and  wash.

Why Two Controls Are Better Than One

Ever tried to cook two different things on a single-temperature grill? It's a bit of a nightmare. You either burn the delicate stuff or undercook the thick items. The Modena TPG10's independent twin cooking zones solve this problem entirely. Think of it less as one big grill and  more like two separate grills that just happen to share the same stainless steel body.

It’s like having two separate rings on your hob. You can have one side on a high heat, perfectly searing a thick steak-filled panini, while the other side is on a lower, gentler heat, slowly melting the cheese in a classic toastie without burning the bread. This means no more compromises. You can cater to different orders, different ingredients, and  different cooking times, all at once. This flexibility is what transforms your workflow from a juggling act into a smooth, efficient operation, especially when things get busy.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Cafés: Effortlessly expand your hot lunch menu and  speed up service during the midday rush.
  • Restaurant Kitchens: A perfect addition for grilling sides, sandwiches, or meats without firing up the main chargrill.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Turn your fresh produce and  artisan bread into high-margin, delicious hot toasties and  paninis.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its plug-and-play setup makes this double panini press for restaurants ideal for events and  food trucks.
