The Omcan 19936 Panini Grill
The Omcan PG-CN-0679-R is a single-station countertop panini grill with a 12" x 15" cast iron cooking surface and a stainless steel body. Both the top and bottom plates are grooved cast iron, which presses classic grill marks into the bread while channeling grease and moisture away from the cooking surface. Grooved plates are the right choice for panini, focaccia presses, and any sandwich where you want visible char lines and a slightly crispier texture.
Cast Iron Grill Plates with 572°F Thermostat Control
The thermostat dial adjusts up to 572°F, giving you enough range to handle everything from a gentle warm press on a delicate croissant to a hard sear on a thick Cuban sandwich. Cast iron holds heat better than stamped aluminum plates, so when you press a cold sandwich onto the surface, the temperature recovers faster and you get consistent browning from the first sandwich to the twentieth. The hinged upper plate floats on a spring mechanism that adjusts to different bread thicknesses without crushing thinner items like pita or naan. Heat-resistant handles on the upper plate keep your hands safe during repeated opening and closing throughout a busy service window.
Stainless Steel Body with Included Cleaning Brush
The body is stainless steel, which holds up to the grease splatter and constant wiping that a panini station gets during a lunch service. Non-slip rubber feet keep the grill planted on the counter even when you are pressing down hard on a thick sandwich. An included grill cleaning brush is sized specifically for the plate grooves and flat surfaces, so you can scrape off melted cheese and bread residue between orders without scratching the cast iron seasoning. The compact footprint fits on a prep counter or back bar without taking up space you need for plating or staging.
