Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The heat-up time is phenomenal, making it incredibly energy-efficient for intermittent use.
  • Cons: The glass plates require non-abrasive tools to avoid scratching during cleaning.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Corner Deli" in Cardiff was struggling with an old, slow contact grill that created a bottleneck during their busiest periods. They upgraded to the Roller Grill PREMIUM VC DL to increase their speed of service for their popular gourmet toasties.

"We were hesitant about the investment, but the speed is just incredible. We're serving customers faster, the toasties are more evenly cooked, and  the staff find it so much easier to clean at the end of the day. It's been a brilliant addition."

Michael Davies – Owner, The Corner Deli

Since installation, the deli has successfully increased its lunchtime sandwich output by over 30% and  significantly reduced customer waiting times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  non-flammable surface for the grill.
  • Ensure there is at least 10cm of space around the unit for proper ventilation.
  • Before first use, wipe the vitroceramic plates with a damp cloth and  a little cooking oil, then heat for a few minutes.
  • Simply plug it into a standard 13A socket and  you're ready to start cooking.

Keeping It Going

  • Always clean the plates after each service while they are still warm (not scorching hot).
  • Use a soft cloth or a non-abrasive scraper; never use steel wool on the glass plates.
  • Regularly empty and  clean the front-facing grease/crumb tray to maintain hygiene.
  • Periodically check the power cord for any signs of wear and  tear.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Contact Grill

Not sure which grill is the one for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to look for.

Plate Material

Cast iron holds heat well but is slow and  hard to clean. Vitroceramic glass, like on this model, heats up in a flash and  is much easier to wipe down.

Plate Type

Ribbed plates give you those classic chargrill lines perfect for paninis and  meat. Smooth plates are better for eggs and  crepes. This model's ribbed plates are ideal for a classic sandwich menu.

Single vs. Double

A single grill is fine for low-volume, but a double unit like this one gives you the capacity and  flexibility to handle busy peaks without breaking a sweat.

Heating Technology

Standard coiled elements are the old way. Modern infrared technology provides faster, more direct, and  more energy-efficient cooking, getting you serving quicker.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for non-stick surfaces, smooth materials, and  removable drip trays. These features save your staff valuable time at the end of a long shift.

How Infrared Heating Delivers a Faster, Better Toastie

Ever wondered why this grill is so much quicker? It's all down to its infrared heating system. Traditional grills work by heating up a thick metal plate, which then slowly transfers that heat to your food—a process called conduction. It works, but it takes time.

Infrared is a totally different ball game. It uses energy waves to heat the food directly, cooking it from the inside out and  the outside in at the same time. Think of it like this: a normal grill is like warming your hands on a radiator—the heat has to travel through the metal first. Infrared is like feeling the sun's warmth on your face; it's instant and  direct. This means the cheese in your panini is perfectly melted at the exact moment the bread gets those lovely, crisp ribbed marks. It's faster, more efficient, and  gives a far superior result.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Cafés: Perfect for smashing out toasted sandwiches and  paninis consistently during the frantic lunch hour service.
  • Delicatessens & Sandwich Shops: This Roller Grill sandwich press helps create signature grilled items with those perfect char lines every time.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its smokeless operation and  standard 13A plug make it ideal for food trucks and  event stalls.
  • Pubs & Bars: A simple way to expand your hot food menu with a reliable, easy-to-use and  compact unit.
