Lincat LPG Single Contact Grill

The Lincat LPG single contact grill is a countertop unit designed for fast, direct-heat cooking of meat and pressed sandwiches in a commercial kitchen environment. It uses enamelled cast iron plates — ribbed on both the top and bottom — which deliver the characteristic branding lines associated with grilled burgers, steaks, chops, fillets and paninis. The unit is powered by LPG rather than mains electricity, which makes it a practical option where gas supply is available but a dedicated electrical circuit is not.

In a busy service environment, cast iron plates retain heat well once up to temperature, helping to maintain consistent cooking results across a run of covers. The thermostatic control allows kitchen staff to set and hold a target cooking temperature rather than relying on judgement alone, which supports consistency during peak periods. The balanced hinge action is designed to apply even pressure without compressing paninis or wraps so heavily that they lose their structure.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Enamelled cast iron plates for even heat distribution and retained temperature
• Ribbed top and bottom surfaces produce defined branding marks on meat and bread
• Thermostatic control supports consistent results across service
• Balanced hinge action suitable for paninis, wraps and meat cuts
• LPG operation suits kitchens without available electrical capacity

As a single-head unit, this grill is best matched to lower-volume operations — a café, small restaurant, or a secondary grill station rather than a primary cooking line under heavy continuous demand. If your service volume is high or your grill runs throughout a long service period, it is worth considering whether a larger or dual-platen model would better suit your throughput requirements.
