The Omcan 42911 Panini Grill
The Omcan PG-CN-0679-FT 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 smooth cast iron, which gives you full, even contact across the entire surface of the bread. Smooth plates work well for pressed Cuban sandwiches, quesadillas, and flatbreads where you want a uniform golden crust without grill lines. A built-in timer on this model lets you set consistent press times so every sandwich comes off the grill with the same color and crunch, which is especially useful during a lunch rush when multiple cooks are working the line.
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.
