Sandwich Grills

Sandwich Grills for Professional Kitchens

Sandwich grills press and toast both sides in one go. You load the sandwich, pull the lid down and let it colour. A good sandwich grill heats up fast in the morning and holds that heat through the rush. Cheap ones take ages to preheat, then drop temperature as soon as you load a few sandwiches. You end up with pale bread and cold cheese in the middle.

Plate type matters. Smooth plates give full contact and even browning. Ribbed plates add lines but can leave cold gaps if the bread is thin. Non-stick plates wipe clean fast but do not like metal tools. Most places cram overstuffed sandwiches in and then complain when fillings leak and burn on the plates.

Trade Insight

Count how many hot sandwiches you sell in your busiest hour and size the grill for that, not for quiet times. Most cafés buy too small and end up with a queue at the pass.

Preheat fully before service or your first round comes out pale. Keep the plates lightly oiled if they are not non-stick. Dry plates grab bread and tear it when you lift the lid.
