Product Description
The Lincat LPG2 is a double-headed contact grill designed for commercial catering environments where throughput matters. It cooks food simultaneously from above and below using ribbed cast iron plates, making it practical for a wide range of menu items — from burgers and steaks to paninis, wraps and chicken fillets. The double configuration means two independent cooking zones, which is a practical advantage when managing mixed orders during service.
In a busy kitchen, contact grills earn their place by significantly reducing cook times compared to flat grills or griddles. The enamelled cast iron plates retain and distribute heat evenly, which helps maintain consistent results across a service session rather than just at the start. The ribbed surface also applies grill marks that give food an appealing finished appearance without the need for a charcoal or char grill.
From an operational standpoint, this unit suits counter-based service well:
- Dual cooking zones allow different products to be grilled simultaneously
- Enamelled cast iron plates are durable and relatively straightforward to clean
- Thermostatic temperature control helps operators maintain consistent cooking conditions
- Ribbed plates produce authentic branding lines on paninis, meat and fish
- Smooth, balanced lid action avoids compressing delicate products unevenly
Installation is straightforward — this is a countertop electric unit requiring a suitable power supply and a stable, heat-resistant surface. Adequate clearance above and around the unit is recommended given the heat generated during use. It is worth confirming your counter depth and available socket provision before ordering.
The LPG2 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, small restaurants and fast-casual operators who need reliable grilling output without the footprint of a larger appliance. For sites running very high volumes continuously, a heavier-duty unit with greater plate area may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model matches your service volumes or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The LPG2 is designed for commercial use and handles sustained service periods well in moderate-volume operations such as cafés, pub kitchens and fast-casual restaurants. For sites that need to run a contact grill almost continuously at high throughput, it is worth speaking with us to confirm it matches your expected volume before purchasing.
- The LPG2 is a countertop electric unit, so it requires a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around and above it. You should confirm the socket type and circuit capacity at your installation point — if you are unsure, we can advise on what to check before the unit arrives.
- Yes — the ribbed cast iron plates and balanced lid action make it practical for both. The ribbed surface applies branding lines to paninis and bread-based products, while the thermostatic control allows operators to adjust temperature for different food types across the two zones.
