SKUWPG200 BrandWaring

The Waring WPG200 Panini Grill

The Waring WPG200 is a double-plate commercial panini grill that cooks both sides of a sandwich simultaneously. The 1800 watts cast aluminum plates run on a 120V, 15.0 amps circuit and are sized for breakfast service, sandwich shops, and any operation pressing paninis or flatbreads through the day.

Ribbed Cast Aluminum Plates

Ribbed cast-aluminum plates distribute heat evenly and recover fast between sandwiches. The grooved pattern prints sear marks on the bread for a finished sandwich look. A hinged, auto-balancing top plate self-adjusts to sandwich thickness so the press contacts evenly on a thin tortilla or a piled-high sub up to 3 inches thick.

Adjustable Thermostat

An adjustable thermostat up to 570°F holds the plates at set temperature across the shift, with a ready indicator confirming the unit has reheated after a sandwich pull. Heat-resistant handles let the cook reposition the top plate without mitts.

Removable Drip Tray and Cleanup

A removable drip tray catches cheese melt and butter runoff and empties in seconds. The brushed stainless steel housing wipes down between services and resists the staining that builds up on lighter finishes.

Footprint and Power

Overall footprint is 10.4" W x 23.14" D x 23" H. The NEMA 5-15P cord pulls from a 120V outlet on a 15.0 amps circuit, with no electrical work required.

The Waring WPG200 Panini Grill

About Panini Grills

Commercial panini grills are essential for any operation serving pressed sandwiches. They use heat and pressure from both sides, giving you a crisp crust and melted interior faster than a flat top or oven. Whether you run a cafe, deli, hotel, or restaurant, a commercial panini grill gives you consistent results on every sandwich. Electric models are available in single and double configurations, with flat and grooved plates to match your menu and presentation style. If you need a compact single press for lower volume or a large commercial double panini press for busy service, there is a model to fit your kitchen and output needs.

Common Types and Configurations

Commercial panini press: The go-to for most cafes and delis. Delivers even heat and pressure from both plates for reliable results.
Commercial panini press flat: Smooth plates top and bottom. Use when you want full contact and no grill marks.
Commercial double panini press: Two sets of plates in one. Press more sandwiches at once to keep up with busy service.
Commercial panini press with removable plates: Plates come off for faster cleaning. Good for high-volume kitchens that need quick changeovers.
Commercial sandwich grill: Like a panini press, but usually with grooved plates for grill marks and better grease drainage.

What to Look at Before You Buy

Plate surface: Flat plates give you even contact and a smooth finish. Grooved plates add grill marks and help drain grease. Some units offer a grooved top and flat bottom for more flexibility.
Plate size: Match plate size to your bread. Most run from 10x10 to 10x20 inches. Bigger plates mean more sandwiches per batch.
Single or double: Single presses work for low volume. Go double if you need to keep up during rushes.
Removable plates: Easier to clean and let you switch between grooved and flat plates as your menu changes.
Timer: Built-in timers take the guesswork out and help staff get consistent results, especially when you have new team members.
Voltage: Most units run on 120V or 220V. Check your kitchen's power before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a panini press and a sandwich grill?

A panini press uses flat or grooved plates on both sides to press and heat the sandwich at once. Sandwich grill usually means grooved plates for grill marks. Most kitchens use the terms interchangeably. The real difference is whether you want grill marks or a smooth finish.

How much does a commercial panini grill cost?

Commercial panini grill prices depend on plate size, single or double units, and features like removable plates or timers. Single presses cost less. Double units with extras cost more but give you more output and easier cleaning for busy kitchens.

What should I look for when buying a commercial panini grill?

Start with plate size and surface. Make sure the plates fit your bread and decide if you want flat, grooved, or both. Then pick single or double based on your volume. Look for even heat, removable plates, and a timer to keep service moving. The best commercial panini press for your operation matches your bread size, volume, and service style.
