Serv-Ware EPG-100GF 17 In. Single Panini Grill, Grooved Top, Flat Bottom Cast Iron Plates, Adjustable Temperature

SKUEPG-100GF BrandServ-Ware

The Serv-Ware EPG-100GF Panini Grill

The Serv-Ware EPG-100GF is a single commercial panini grill that pairs a grooved top plate with a flat bottom, so one station can press a marked panini and griddle a flat grilled cheese with the same unit. It takes up about 17 inches of counter, making it an easy fit for a deli line, coffee bar, or sandwich station that does not have room to spare.

Grooved Top and Flat Bottom Plates

The grooved top plate lays the char lines customers expect on a panini, while the flat bottom plate keeps full contact with the bread so a grilled cheese or quesadilla browns evenly corner to corner. That top-and-bottom pairing is the flexible choice: marked bread on one side, a clean flat sear on the other. Cast iron carries the heat, so the plate does not stall when a cold sandwich lands on it.

Adjustable Heat from Warm to Crisp

Dial the plates anywhere from 120°F to 570°F. Run it low to warm a wrap without drying it out, or push it hot to crisp ciabatta and melt cheese fast on the flat bottom. The ready light signals when the plates hit your setting and the power light confirms the unit is live, so the cook starts the next order at the right temperature instead of guessing.

Stainless Build, Easy Reset Between Orders

The heavy duty stainless steel housing wipes clean at the end of service and shrugs off the knocks that dent and chip painted units. The crumb tray pulls straight out, so you tip burnt crumbs and grease into the trash instead of scraping the base, and the cool touch handle lets the cook raise the top plate between orders without grabbing a towel.

What You Can Press

This grill is built for commercial use, from sandwich shops and coffee bars to convenience stores and catering. The grooved-and-flat plate combination handles marked paninis, flat grilled cheese, quesadillas, toasted garlic bread, and warmed wraps from one station. A clean stainless face and a front-loading crumb tray make it presentable on a customer-facing counter.

    The Serv-Ware EPG-100GF 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.
