Contact Grills For Panini Perfection
In today’s economic climate, the pressure is on for businesses to offer quality menus at low prices as consumers rein in their spending. Sales of takeaway and cheaper meal options have been rising steadily, and many eateries are looking to the enduringly popular Italian Panini as a budget menu item.
Essential for perfect panini production is a top quality contact grill. Uropa now supplies Ital’s heavy duty contact grills. They are not only ideal for making paninis but also suitable for cooking a range of other foods such as chicken, fish and seared vegetables.
The single or double versions of the Ital grills both have large grilling surfaces and the double grill features two independently hinged lids. All the models are easy to clean and are available in a stainless steel finish with either all-flat cooking surfaces, one flat and one ribbed surface, or all-ribbed surfaces.
The lids are counterbalanced so the food cooks evenly and with its top plate opened the grill can act as a hot plate or griddle. The grills can also drain off any fat produced during cooking, so dishes prepared this way can be offered as healthy options.
Ital grills are remarkably simple to use and as they cook both sides of the food simultaneously, they can save time and speed up service. They are very versatile, cost-effective pieces of equipment and can be used to create an inventive menu as well as produce popular favourites such as paninis and toasties.
The cooking surfaces range in size from 355 x 255mm for the CG1 models up to 500 x 255mm for the larger CG2 models. Uropa supplies all Ital contact grills with a full one-year parts and labour warranty and all can be operated from a standard 13Amp socket.
