Prince Castle NCG8-F Single MultiFlex Flat Contact Grill

The Prince Castle NCG8-F MultiFlex is a compact contact grill designed for operations where speed, consistency and counter space are all factors. It uses a parallel platen design — two flat heated plates that close together to cook from both sides simultaneously. Each plate is independently temperature-controlled, which gives operators useful flexibility for different products and also means the unit can function as a compact flat griddle surface when full contact cooking isn't required.

In day-to-day service the NCG8-F handles chicken breast, bacon, paninis and flatbreads reliably. Cooking from both sides simultaneously reduces cook times and helps maintain throughput during busy periods. The independently controlled plates mean you can run one side cooler if you're using it as a single-sided griddle, which makes it a practical option for sites that want to avoid powering up a full-size griddle for lighter tasks. Prince Castle quote over two million test cycles during development, which is a meaningful indicator of mechanical durability for a piece of equipment in continuous commercial use.

Practical advantages of the NCG8-F include:

• Dual-sided cooking reduces cook times and supports consistent throughput
• Independent plate control allows use as a flat griddle when needed
• Compact footprint suits counter space-constrained kitchens
• Smooth exterior surfaces and a removable drip tray simplify daily cleaning
• Stainless steel construction supports hygiene and durability in commercial environments

The NCG8-F is a countertop unit and requires a suitable 13A or hardwired electrical supply depending on your site configuration — it is worth confirming your available supply with an electrician prior to installation. At 20kg it is manageable to reposition if needed. The flat plate format means it is not suitable for producing ridged grill marks; operators requiring charmark results should consider a ribbed-plate alternative. The one-year light duty commercial warranty reflects its positioning — it is well suited to moderate-volume service rather than high-intensity, continuous production environments.

This grill works well in cafés, sandwich bars, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens and similar sites handling a steady but not extreme volume of grilled items. For higher-volume operations running the grill continuously across long service periods, a heavier-duty model with a full commercial warranty may be a more appropriate long-term investment.
