Product Description
The Lincat LCG2 is a countertop double contact grill that cooks food simultaneously from above and below using enamelled cast iron plates. That direct two-sided contact makes it a practical choice for fast-paced foodservice — paninis, flatbreads, burgers, chicken fillets, and fish all cook through evenly without the operator having to flip or monitor constantly. The branded finish the plates produce is consistent enough to suit a range of menu formats.
In service, cast iron holds heat well as orders come through in succession, helping maintain consistency without the temperature drop that thinner plate materials can cause. The unit reaches working temperature from cold reasonably quickly, which suits operations where the grill is switched on and off across the day rather than left running continuously. Thermostatic control removes the guesswork from temperature management during busy periods.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the LCG2 offers several practical advantages:
- Two-sided contact cooking shortens ticket times compared to a conventional open grill
- Thermostatic control maintains consistent results through sustained service
- Enamelled cast iron plates clean down straightforwardly between or after service
- Balanced hinge applies even pressure across the plate without crushing lighter fillings
- Compact countertop footprint suits most pass or servery configurations
Installation is straightforward — the LCG2 runs on single-phase power and needs only a suitable socket, with no gas or water connections required. It should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around the unit. If your operation regularly grills higher-fat products, it is worth reviewing local ventilation arrangements before siting the grill.
The LCG2 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations where contact grilling is a regular but not extremely high-volume part of the menu. For sites running sustained high throughput across a full service day, a heavier-duty model with greater plate area may be a more appropriate match.
If you would like to talk through whether the LCG2 fits your menu and service patterns, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The LCG2 handles regular contact grilling well in moderate-volume operations such as cafés and sandwich bars, where orders come through steadily rather than in large sustained bursts. For sites turning over a high volume of grilled items back-to-back across a full day, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit with more plate area would be a better fit for your throughput.
- The unit runs on single-phase power and requires only a suitable socket — there are no gas lines or water connections involved. It should be placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface with clearance around it for airflow and safe operation. If you regularly grill fatty products, check that your local ventilation arrangements are adequate before choosing a permanent position.
- Enamelled cast iron plates are generally considered one of the easier grill plate materials to maintain — the enamel surface resists sticking and wipes down without extensive effort. Allowing the plates to cool to a safe handling temperature before cleaning is advisable, and avoiding abrasive tools will help preserve the enamel surface over time.
