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

SKUEPG-100GG BrandServ-Ware

The Serv-Ware EPG-100GG Panini Grill

The Serv-Ware EPG-100GG is a single commercial panini grill with cast iron plates grooved on both faces, built for shops that want griddle marks pressed into the top and bottom of every sandwich. It occupies roughly 17 inches of counter, so it drops into a tight cafe or deli line without taking over the prep space.

Grooved Top and Bottom Plates

Both cast iron plates carry grooves, so the EPG-100GG stamps griddle marks across the top and bottom of every sandwich it presses. Ciabatta, pressed wraps, and thick paninis come off the single station looking griddle-marked on both faces, which reads as made-to-order to the customer watching at the counter. Cast iron holds its heat, so the plate is ready for the next order moments after the last one comes off.

Adjustable Temperature Range

The plates adjust from 120°F to 570°F, so one station gently warms a sandwich or runs hot enough to drive deep grill marks and a fast melt. A ready light tells the cook when the grooved plates hit the set heat, and a power light shows the unit is on, so nobody presses a sandwich onto a plate that is still climbing to temperature.

Stainless Housing and Quick Cleanup

A heavy duty stainless steel body stands up to a commercial kitchen and wipes down fast after the rush, unlike painted housings that chip where the plates meet the frame. The removable crumb tray slides out for a quick dump, and the cool touch handle keeps the cook from reaching for a side towel every time the top plate comes up.

Best-Suited Menu Items

Made for commercial kitchens, the EPG-100GG suits delis, cafes, c-stores, and catering setups that lean on pressed, griddle-marked sandwiches. The fully grooved plates are at their best on paninis, ciabatta, pressed wraps, and quesadillas that should show marks top and bottom. The stainless body and pull-out crumb tray keep it tidy on a busy line or an open station.

    The Serv-Ware EPG-100GG 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.
