Prince Castle NCG14-F MultiFlex Double Contact Grill

The Prince Castle NCG14-F is a double-sided flat plate contact grill designed for quick service environments where throughput and consistency matter. The defining feature is independently controlled upper and lower cooking plates, which allows operators to set different temperatures on each surface depending on what is being cooked. This gives a meaningful degree of flexibility across a varied menu — from burgers and pressed sandwiches to chicken fillets and breakfast items — without requiring a separate piece of kit for each.

In a busy service environment, the parallel plate design and weighted upper platen work together to ensure even contact across the food surface, which translates to consistent results across a full service period rather than just ideal conditions. Recovery between loads is reliable enough to support continuous throughput during peak periods, and the flat plate configuration makes it straightforward to adapt the grill to different food types without specialist skill from the operator.

From a practical standpoint, the NCG14-F offers a number of day-to-day operational advantages:

• Independent plate temperature control reduces the risk of overcooking on one side while undercooking on the other
• Weighted upper platen applies consistent pressure without manual adjustment
• Smooth plate surfaces and a removable drip tray simplify end-of-service cleaning
• Stainless steel construction holds up well under the cleaning regimes typical of commercial kitchens
• Compact enough to sit comfortably on a counter without dominating the prep line

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. The NCG14-F is electrically powered at 2.8kW and will require a suitable dedicated socket on a circuit capable of handling that load — worth confirming with your electrician before installation if there is any doubt about your existing supply. Ventilation above the grill should be considered, particularly in enclosed kitchen spaces, as contact grilling does generate steam and smoke depending on the product being cooked. The unit weighs 36kg, so positioning is a two-person task, but it does not require permanent fixing.

This grill is well suited to quick service cafés, sandwich counters, staff restaurants, and small to mid-sized restaurant kitchens running a menu that benefits from pressed or contact-grilled items. It is a practical choice where menu variety matters but floor space is limited. For higher-volume sites running dedicated burger or grill programmes at volume throughout the day, a heavier-duty unit with greater plate area may be worth considering.
