The Omcan 48588 Panini Grill
The Omcan CE-CN-10173LH is a single extra-large panini grill with a 14-by-14-inch ribbed cooking surface, designed for sandwich shops, cafes, and any kitchen that presses paninis, quesadillas, or flatbreads throughout the day. The oversized grill surface fits multiple standard sandwiches at once or handles large items like wraps and calzones that do not fit on a typical 10-inch press. At 1,800 watts on a standard 120V/60Hz circuit with a NEMA 5-20P plug, it heats quickly and recovers between batches without long waits.
Fine Cast Iron Plates with Self-Holding Top
Both the top and bottom plates are fine cast iron with ribbed surfaces that leave classic grill marks on bread while pressing cheese and fillings flat. Cast iron holds heat well, so when you load a cold sandwich onto the surface, the plate does not drop in temperature the way thinner aluminum plates do. The top plate is self-holding, meaning it stays in the raised position when you lift it. That frees up both hands for loading and unloading sandwiches instead of propping the lid open with one hand while juggling tongs with the other. The brushed stainless steel housing around the plates wipes clean easily, and anti-slip rubber feet keep the grill from sliding on the counter when you press down on thick sandwiches.
Digital Timer with 4 Cooking Modes and 572°F Maximum
The digital timer includes four preset cooking modes, so your staff can press a button and get consistent results on the most popular items without guessing cook times. The grill reaches a maximum temperature of 572°F, which is hot enough for fast searing on flatbreads and getting a hard crust on thick paninis in under three minutes. For lighter items like cheese quesadillas that only need gentle heat, you can dial the temperature down and use a shorter timer setting. The digital controls take the guesswork out of training new employees on the press.
