Lincat Contact Grills

The Lincat LPG2 is a countertop double contact grill designed for commercial kitchen use. It cooks food simultaneously from both sides using ribbed enamelled cast iron plates, with two independent cooking zones that allow different products to be grilled at the same time. Burgers, chicken fillets, steaks, paninis and wraps are all handled comfortably, making it a practical all-round grilling unit for kitchens running a mixed menu.

Contact grills reduce cook times considerably compared to flat griddles or open grills, and cast iron plates hold heat well through a sustained service — not just during the opening covers. The ribbed surface leaves clean grill marks on meat, fish and bread products, which matters to operators who want a finished appearance without investing in a charcoal or char grill setup. The two zones operate independently, so different products can run at different temperatures without any crossover between them.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the LPG2 offers several practical advantages:

• Two independent zones support mixed grilling without flavour transfer between products
• Enamelled cast iron plates are durable and straightforward to clean down after service
• Thermostatic temperature control helps maintain consistent results across different menu items
• Ribbed plates produce visible branding lines on meat, fish and bread
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where worktop space is limited

Installation is straightforward — this is a countertop electric unit requiring a suitable power supply and a stable, heat-resistant surface. Allow adequate clearance above and around the unit to manage the heat generated during service, and confirm available socket provision before ordering. Counter depth is worth checking given the combined footprint of the two heads.

The LPG2 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, small restaurants and fast-casual operations that need reliable grilling output without committing to a larger appliance. Sites running sustained high volumes throughout a long service may find a heavier-duty unit with a greater plate area a more appropriate fit.

The Lincat GG1 is a single-head countertop contact grill designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens. It uses cast aluminium plates with a PTFE non-stick coating, heated by mica elements, to deliver even heat across the cooking surface. The combination of a ribbed top plate and smooth bottom plate means operators can produce grill-marked paninis, toasted sandwiches, and lightly cooked proteins such as chicken breast or steak without needing a separate flat griddle alongside it.

In a working kitchen, the GG1 performs reliably during steady service where contact-grilled items form part of a broader menu rather than the sole output of a cooking station. The cast aluminium retains heat well under moderate demand, and the non-stick surface keeps turnover moving by making it straightforward to clear and reload between batches. As a single-head unit, output is naturally limited — this is not a unit designed to carry a high-volume toastie or wrap menu through a full lunchtime rush on its own, and operators should plan accordingly.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

• Non-stick PTFE coating reduces food residue build-up and speeds cleaning between batches
• Ribbed and smooth plate combination covers paninis, sandwiches, and light protein cookery from one unit
• Cast aluminium construction distributes heat evenly, reducing inconsistent results across the plate
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where worktop space is at a premium
• Supplied with a spatula, helping to protect the non-stick surface during service

Installation is straightforward. The GG1 is a countertop electric unit requiring only a suitable power supply and a stable, heat-resistant surface. No gas connection or specialist ventilation is required, though positioning the unit near existing extraction is sensible given the steam produced during grilling. Standard clearances from walls and flammable surfaces should be observed.

This model is well suited to coffee shops, cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and small restaurants where contact-grilled items appear on the menu but volume is modest and the grill is one of several cooking stations. For sites where a contact grill needs to sustain output through high-volume service periods, a double-head or larger-capacity model would be worth considering to avoid creating a bottleneck at that station.

If you would like to talk through whether the GG1 fits your service volume and menu before committing, the team is happy to help.

The Lincat LCG is a single-head electric contact grill designed for counter-top use in commercial kitchens. Enamelled cast iron plates on both the upper and lower platens apply direct, even heat from both sides simultaneously, making it suitable for burgers, steaks, chops, fish fillets, paninis, and toasted sandwiches. A thermostatic control allows the operator to set and hold a consistent cooking temperature throughout service.

In a working kitchen, the LCG performs reliably in light to moderate service settings. The cast iron plates retain heat well between batches and the unit reaches working temperature quickly from cold, which suits operations that do not run the grill continuously across a full shift. For kitchens turning out sustained high volumes through a busy grill section, a twin-head or heavier-duty unit would offer better throughput and greater resilience under continuous use.

Day-to-day, the LCG offers a practical set of operational advantages:

• Enamelled cast iron plates clean more easily than raw iron and resist staining from oils and marinades
• Balanced hinge action avoids over-pressing lighter products such as paninis, wraps, and flatbreads
• Thermostatic control reduces the risk of scorching when the grill sits idle between orders
• Compact footprint suits kitchens where bench space is at a premium

The LCG requires only a mains electricity supply — no gas or water connection — keeping installation straightforward. Allow adequate clearance around the casing for heat dissipation, and position it beneath or close to an extraction canopy to manage steam and cooking vapours during service.

This grill is well matched to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and small restaurant operations running a mixed menu of grilled and toasted items, particularly where the grill is in regular but not continuous use. If your operation runs a heavier grill section or anticipates significant growth in covers, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity model would be a better long-term fit.

If you would like to talk through whether the LCG suits your service volume and menu before you order, the team is happy to help.

The Lincat LPG single contact grill is a countertop unit designed for direct-heat cooking of meat cuts, fillets and pressed sandwiches in a commercial kitchen. It runs on LPG rather than mains electricity, which makes it a practical option where dedicated electrical supply is restricted or where gas is the more convenient service on site. Both the top and bottom plates are ribbed enamelled cast iron, producing the defined branding marks expected on grilled burgers, steaks, chops and paninis.

Cast iron holds heat well once the unit is up to temperature, which helps maintain consistent cooking results across a run of covers. The thermostatic control allows kitchen staff to set and hold a target temperature, supporting repeatable outcomes without relying on individual judgement during a busy service. The balanced hinge mechanism applies even pressure across the plates — enough to seal a panini or wrap without compressing it to the point of losing its shape.

• Enamelled cast iron plates retain and distribute heat evenly between batches
• Ribbed top and bottom surfaces produce clean branding marks on meat and bread
• Thermostatic control supports consistent cooking across a service period
• Balanced hinge suits a range of products from meat cuts to pressed sandwiches
• LPG operation where mains electrical capacity is unavailable or impractical

As a single-head unit, this grill is well suited to lower-volume operations — a café, sandwich bar, small restaurant, or a secondary station within a larger kitchen. If your grill is running continuously through a long service or handling high covers, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or dual-platen model would better match your throughput.

If you are unsure whether LPG is the right fuel choice for your setup, or want to talk through how this unit would fit into your kitchen, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit to anything.

The Lincat LRG2 is a countertop electric contact grill with two cast iron cooking plates — a ribbed upper plate and a smooth lower plate. It cooks both sides of a product simultaneously, making it a practical choice for operations that need to move product quickly without sacrificing consistency. It handles a wide range of menu items including burgers, chicken fillets, steaks, paninis, and wraps from a single unit.

Cast iron retains heat well, which is a practical advantage during back-to-back service. As batches follow one another, the plates recover temperature more reliably than lighter alternatives, helping to keep cook times and output quality consistent through a busy period. Thermostatic temperature control allows operators to set a fixed cooking temperature and hold it across a full shift, which reduces variability between staff and limits the risk of over- or under-cooked output when the kitchen is under pressure.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:

• Two-sided simultaneous cooking reduces individual cook times significantly
• Ribbed top plate produces clean grill marks suitable for plated presentation
• Thermostatic control supports repeatable results across different operators and shift changes
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where worktop space is at a premium
• Cast iron plates are durable under sustained commercial use

As a plug-in countertop unit, the LRG2 requires no specialist installation beyond a suitable mains connection and a stable, heat-resistant worktop. Contact grills produce steam and radiant heat during service, so consider ventilation above and around the unit — particularly in smaller or enclosed kitchen spaces. The weight of a cast iron plate unit is worth confirming against your countertop specification before positioning.

This model is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and small to mid-sized restaurant operations running steady moderate throughput. It is not designed for continuous high-volume service over extended periods — sites with that level of demand would be better served by a heavier-duty unit with a larger cooking surface. For lighter-output operations, smaller single-plate alternatives are available within the contact grill range.

If you are unsure whether this model matches your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Lincat GG1P is a single-head countertop contact grill built for consistent, high-temperature grilling in commercial kitchens. It uses cast aluminium plates fitted with mica heating elements and finished with a PTFE non-stick coating. Both the top and bottom plates are ribbed, producing the grill marks associated with paninis, toasted sandwiches, chicken fillets and lighter cuts of meat.

Contact grills earn their place in busy lunch services through speed and consistency. Because heat is applied simultaneously to both faces of the food, cook times are significantly shorter than those achieved with a flat grill or salamander. The cast aluminium construction holds heat reasonably well under repeated use, which helps maintain consistent results across a run of orders rather than just the first few covers.

The practical day-to-day advantages of this unit include:

• PTFE-coated ribbed plates that resist sticking and wipe down cleanly between services
• Simultaneous top and bottom heat contact for faster, more consistent results
• Cast aluminium construction that retains heat under repeated use
• Compact countertop footprint suitable for front-of-house or back bar positions
• Spatula included as standard to assist safe plate handling

The GG1P runs from a standard 13-amp supply, which keeps installation straightforward with no dedicated electrical work required. Contact grills generate steam and heat during use, so positioning in a well-ventilated area or beneath extraction is advisable. As a single-head model, it is best matched to moderate throughput — sites running continuous grilling across a high volume of covers throughout a long service should consider whether a twin-head or higher-capacity unit would be a better operational fit.

This grill is well suited to coffee shops, cafés, snack bars, delis and small restaurants where paninis, toasted sandwiches and grilled items feature regularly but do not dominate the menu. It represents a practical entry point for operators who need reliable grilling output from a compact unit without a significant capital outlay. Busier operations with sustained demand would likely benefit from a larger or multi-head alternative.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit matches your expected service volume, the team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

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.

The Lincat GG1R is a single-head countertop contact grill designed for commercial use. It uses cast aluminium plates with a PTFE non-stick coating and mica heating elements to deliver simultaneous top-and-bottom contact heat. The smooth plate configuration produces a clean, even finish on paninis, toasted sandwiches, chicken fillets, and similar items where consistent surface contact matters more than grill marks.

In a working kitchen, this unit performs reliably in lower-to-medium throughput environments. It reaches temperature quickly and holds it well under moderate demand, making it a practical day-to-day tool where the grill sees regular but not continuous use across a full service period. Operations running back-to-back covers at pace across a long service window will likely find a multi-head or higher-capacity unit a more practical fit.

The main operational advantages are straightforward:

• PTFE non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Cast aluminium plates distribute heat evenly, reducing inconsistency across the cooking surface
• Simultaneous dual-plate contact reduces cooking time per item compared to single-sided methods
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where service space is at a premium
• Simple construction with few serviceable components keeps ongoing maintenance manageable

The GG1R is a plug-in electric unit with no gas supply or specialist ventilation infrastructure required. Positioning it near an extraction point remains sensible practice in any enclosed kitchen environment. It needs a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around the unit during service.

This grill is well suited to cafés, sandwich counters, tea rooms, and small restaurants where hot snacks and toasted items are a regular part of the menu without being the primary high-volume output. For operations running a sustained grill service across a full service period, it is worth considering whether a larger or multi-head unit would be the more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service style and kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you decide.

The Lincat LRG is a countertop contact grill with a single head, designed for commercial use in cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations. It cooks from both sides simultaneously using a ribbed cast iron top plate and a smooth cast iron bottom plate, making it suitable for paninis, wraps, burgers, chicken fillets, steaks, and chops. The dual-sided cooking action reduces grill times compared to a conventional flat grill or griddle.

In everyday service, the LRG performs well where throughput is moderate rather than continuous. It reaches working temperature reasonably quickly and holds heat across consecutive batches, which suits breakfast runs, lunch covers, or a compact à la carte grill section. The ribbed top plate marks flatbreads and paninis cleanly without a separate press, and the smooth bottom plate handles proteins without recurring sticking issues under normal working conditions.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Dual-sided heat reduces cook times and supports faster plate-up
• Ribbed top plate produces consistent branding marks on breads and sandwiches
• Cast iron plates retain heat well and clean down straightforwardly after service
• Thermostatic control supports consistent results across different proteins and products
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where equipment space is limited

Installation is straightforward. The LRG is a plug-in electric unit requiring no fixed services beyond a stable, heat-resistant countertop and a suitable power supply. No specialist extraction is needed, and the unit is light enough to reposition if your setup changes — useful for operators running event catering alongside a fixed site or sharing prep space across shifts.

The LRG suits cafés, sandwich bars, small restaurant operations, and pub kitchens running a contained grill menu. It is best matched to moderate, intermittent service rather than continuous high-volume output. Operations running long service periods with sustained grill covers should consider a dual-head model or a heavier-duty unit with greater plate surface area to prevent the single head becoming a bottleneck.

If you are weighing up whether the LRG fits your service pattern, or want to talk through the options in the range, the team is happy to help you work it out.
