Product Description
The Sammic CG-240 is a twin plate LPG-powered crêpe and pancake machine designed for counter use in commercial catering environments. It runs on bottled or piped LPG gas rather than mains electricity, which makes it a practical choice for sites where additional electrical load is unwanted or where a degree of portability is needed — festival catering, front-of-house theatre stations, or outdoor service points, for example. Each plate is cast iron with a treated non-stick cooking surface, designed to distribute heat evenly across the full cooking area for consistent results batch after batch.
In service, twin plates make a meaningful difference. While one crêpe is cooking, the operator can be batter-spreading on the second, keeping throughput moving steadily rather than waiting on a single surface. This rhythm suits busy café service, market stalls, and any operation where crêpes or pancakes form a core part of the offer rather than an occasional line. Cast iron retains heat well once up to temperature, which helps maintain consistency even during periods of continuous use.
Practical advantages for day-to-day operation include:
- Twin plates increase output without doubling footprint or operator count
- LPG fuel source allows use away from fixed electrical supply points
- Cast iron surfaces retain heat effectively during continuous service
- Non-stick treatment reduces food adhesion and supports faster clean-down
- Suited to crêpes, pancakes, blinis, chapattis and similar flat foods
Because this unit runs on LPG, operators should ensure adequate gas supply and ventilation are in place before use. A safe working surface with sufficient clearance around the unit is needed, and anyone using LPG equipment in a commercial setting should be familiar with the relevant gas safety requirements. The counter-mounted format keeps the footprint manageable, but it is worth confirming that the work surface can bear the weight of cast iron plates.
This machine is well suited to crêperies, cafés, street food operations, and hospitality venues running theatre cooking stations. It is a practical entry point for operations wanting twin-plate output with LPG flexibility. For very high-volume sites running continuous service across a full day, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty model would better match the demand.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your service volume or setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The twin plate format is well suited to moderate-volume café service, as it allows one plate to be in use while the other is being prepped. For very high-throughput operations running crêpes continuously across a full service day, it is worth speaking with us to confirm the unit matches your expected demand before purchasing.
- The unit runs on LPG, which can be supplied via bottled gas or a piped LPG system. As with all commercial gas equipment, it must be used with adequate ventilation and in compliance with relevant UK gas safety regulations. If you are installing it within a fixed kitchen environment, your gas installer will need to assess the connection and ensure extraction meets local requirements.
- Yes — the flat cast iron surface is suitable for any thin, flat food that benefits from direct plate contact, including blinis, chapattis, and similar items. It is not designed as a general-purpose griddle, so it works best where the cooking method closely mirrors that of a crêpe.
