Heavy Duty Single Panini Grill | Commercial Panini Press | Flat Base & Flat Top | Modena TPG7

Q: What's the main benefit of flat plates over ribbed ones?

A: Flat plates are far more versatile. You can cook anything you'd use a griddle for, like eggs, bacon, and  pancakes, in addition to toasties and  paninis. This turns one piece of equipment into a multi-purpose tool.

Q: How long does it take to heat up?

A: With its powerful 3kW element, it reaches cooking temperature very quickly, usually within a few minutes. This helps you serve customers faster during busy periods.

Q: Is this grill easy to clean?

A: Yes. The stainless steel body is simple to wipe down, and  the cast iron plates can be scraped clean while still warm. The removable drip tray catches any mess, simplifying your daily clean-up routine.

Q: What does 'seasoning' the plates mean?

A: It's the simple process of applying a thin layer of cooking oil and  heating it. This creates a natural, non-stick surface that also protects the cast iron from rust and  makes it easier to clean.

Q: Can I cook food from frozen on this grill?

A: For the best and  safest results, it's always recommended to ensure food is fully defrosted before placing it on the grill. This ensures it cooks through evenly.

Q: What kind of power socket do I need?

A: This professional panini maker comes fitted with a standard UK 13 amp plug, so it will work in any standard commercial or domestic socket without needing an electrician.

Q: Is the temperature adjustable?

A: Absolutely. It features a simple dial thermostat so you can set the perfect temperature for different foods, from lightly toasting a wrap to searing a thick, fully-loaded panini.

Q: How heavy is the unit?

A: It weighs 10kg. This makes it heavy enough to be very stable and  robust on the counter, but still manageable for one person to move for deep cleaning.
