The Buffalo Bistro Double Ribbed Contact Grill is a countertop contact grill designed for operations that need to produce grilled food quickly and consistently. Both the upper and lower plates are ribbed cast iron with a non-stick finish, producing characteristic grill marks while allowing excess fat to drain away from the food during cooking. The counter-balanced top plate sits on the food under its own controlled weight rather than pressing down heavily, which helps maintain even contact without compressing thinner items.

In a busy café, bistro, or pub kitchen environment, this style of grill suits steady throughput of paninis, toasted sandwiches, chicken breasts, and similar items where a fast contact cook time is needed at service. The cast iron plates retain heat well between uses, which supports consistent results across successive orders. The 2.9kW element and temperature range up to 300°C allow the grill to recover reasonably quickly between batches during a peak period, though at 28kg it is a solid countertop unit and bench space and power availability should be confirmed before ordering.

  • Ribbed cast iron plates produce grill marks and allow fat drainage for a healthier result
  • Counter-balanced lid prevents food being crushed and supports even heat contact
  • Non-stick plate surface reduces sticking and simplifies the clean-down between services
  • Supplied with a griddle scraper for quick removal of residue between uses
  • 430 stainless steel construction holds up well in daily commercial kitchen use

Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard 13A plug socket, though confirming your circuit capacity against the 2.9kW draw is sensible. No gas or water connections are needed, and the compact footprint suits most counter environments. It is not intended for continuous high-volume grill production; for busier operations or those running extended grill menus, a heavier-duty double contact grill would be worth considering.

This model is well suited to cafés, bistros, small hotel kitchens, and pub food operations where paninis, pressed sandwiches, and grilled proteins are a regular part of the menu but not the central workload. If you are unsure whether it matches your service volume or want to talk through the best fit for your kitchen setup, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Is this grill suitable for a busy lunchtime café service?

It handles steady café throughput well — paninis, pressed sandwiches, and grilled chicken are all within its intended use. If your operation is producing grilled items continuously with very little gap between orders, a heavier-duty commercial contact grill with greater plate mass would be worth considering for that volume.

What power supply does the Buffalo Bistro Double Contact Grill require?

The unit draws 2.9kW and connects to a standard plug socket, but you should confirm your kitchen circuit can comfortably support that load before installation, particularly if other high-draw equipment is running from the same circuit. No gas or water connections are needed.

How do you clean the ribbed cast iron plates between services?

The grill comes supplied with a griddle scraper for removing food residue and grease from the ribbed surface. The non-stick finish helps reduce sticking, but cast iron plates benefit from being cleaned while still warm and kept lightly seasoned over time to maintain the non-stick properties.
