The Omcan 42912 Panini Grill
The Omcan PG-CN-0679-RT is a single panini grill with a 12-by-15-inch ribbed cooking surface, a built-in timer, and thermostat control. It is built for sandwich shops, diners, cafes, and any kitchen that presses paninis, burgers, quesadillas, or breakfast sandwiches throughout the day. The oversized grill surface handles multiple standard sandwiches at once or large items like focaccia and pita pockets. At 1,800 watts on a 120V/60Hz/1Ph circuit with a NEMA 5-20P plug, it runs on a standard 20-amp outlet.
Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Plates with Thermostat Control
Both the top and bottom plates are heavy-duty cast iron with ribbed surfaces that sear classic grill marks into bread while pressing fillings flat. Cast iron holds heat evenly, so the entire 12-by-15-inch surface cooks at the same temperature from corner to corner. The thermostat control adjusts from 140°F to 572°F (140°C to 572°C), letting you dial in the right temperature for delicate cheese melts at the low end or fast, high-heat searing on thick paninis at the high end. The stainless steel body wipes clean between orders, and heat-resistant handles let your staff open and close the grill safely during a busy lunch rush.
Removable Timer and Easy-Clean Drip Tray
The removable timer (requires 2 AAA batteries) helps your staff time presses consistently so every sandwich comes out with the same level of browning and melt. That means less guesswork during training and fewer remakes from over- or under-pressed sandwiches. An easy-to-remove drip tray catches grease and crumbs underneath the cooking surface for quick cleanup. At 70 pounds, the grill is heavy enough to stay planted on the counter when pressing thick items. A heavy-duty grill brush is included for plate maintenance.
