The Omcan 48603 Panini Grill
The Omcan PG-IT-0381 is a 10" x 15" commercial panini grill with ribbed top with smooth bottom cast iron cooking surfaces, built for cafes, delis, and sandwich shops that serve pressed sandwiches, quesadillas, focaccia, and pita wraps throughout the day. The cast iron plates hold heat exceptionally well, so when you press a cold sandwich down, the surface does not lose temperature the way stamped aluminum plates do. That thermal mass gives you consistent grill marks and even browning from the first sandwich of the morning to the last one at close. A built-in timer on this model lets you set precise cook times, so you can load the grill and walk away to plate other items without overcooking.
Thermostat Control from 120°F to 570°F with Cast Iron Plates
The adjustable thermostat ranges from 120°F to 570°F, which covers low-heat warming for delicate breads all the way up to high-heat searing for thick paninis that need to cook through quickly. A functioning pilot lamp tells you at a glance whether the grill is up to temperature or still heating. The ribbed top plate creates classic grill marks on the presentation side, while the smooth bottom plate provides even, full-contact heat for items like quesadillas and flatbreads where you want uniform browning without grooves.
The stainless steel body resists corrosion from daily exposure to steam and food oils, and the smooth surfaces wipe down fast between orders. A collecting tray slides out from the front to catch drippings, keeping your station clean. Non-slip rubber feet anchor the unit to your countertop so it does not slide when you press down on the lid. At 48 lbs, this grill is portable enough to reposition but sturdy enough for all-day production. It runs on 120V/60Hz/1Ph at 1700W (20A) with a NEMA 5-20P plug.
