Product Description
The Buffalo double ribbed contact grill is a countertop unit built around a pair of cast iron ribbed plates that cook food from both sides simultaneously. It is designed for operations that need to turn around grilled items quickly during busy service — sandwiches, chicken fillets, burgers, and breakfast items — without taking up significant counter space.
Cast iron holds and recovers heat well, which matters during a sustained breakfast or lunch rush. When plates are loaded repeatedly in quick succession, consistent temperature means consistent output and shorter wait times. The ribbed profile channels fat and grease away from the cooking surface, which helps with both hygiene and presentation. Each plate has its own independent temperature control and digital timer, giving operators the flexibility to run different products at the correct settings without swapping between units.
The key practical advantages from an operational standpoint:
- Independent plate controls allow different products to cook at the correct temperature simultaneously
- Cast iron ribbed plates channel fat away, reducing surface contamination between cooks
- Rapid heat recovery keeps output consistent during back-to-back service
- Removable drip tray is dishwasher safe, keeping daily cleaning straightforward
- A commercial grill scraper is supplied as standard to support plate maintenance
This is a plug-in unit, so a suitable socket and circuit will be needed — it is worth confirming the supply with your electrician before installation. At 27kg it is a substantial countertop unit; a stable, level surface with adequate clearance for heat dissipation is important. It is not designed for continuous high-throughput environments such as large hotel kitchens or high-volume burger counters running back-to-back service all day.
This grill suits cafés, coffee shops, sandwich bars, kiosks, and food-to-go operations where grilled items feature regularly but service volumes are moderate. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands, a heavier-duty or larger-platen unit would be worth exploring.
If you want to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen and service volumes, our team is glad to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It performs well in moderate-throughput environments such as cafés, sandwich bars, and food-to-go operations where grilled items feature regularly across service. For sites running continuous back-to-back service at high volume — such as large hotel kitchens or busy burger counters — a heavier-duty unit with a larger platen area would be a more appropriate match.
- This is a plug-in countertop unit, so it requires a suitable socket and circuit capable of handling the load. It is worth confirming the circuit configuration with your electrician before installation to ensure the supply is appropriate for the draw.
- A commercial grill scraper is included as standard and is the recommended method for daily plate maintenance — scraping the plates while still warm removes residue effectively without damaging the cast iron surface. The removable drip tray can be taken out and put through a dishwasher, which keeps that part of the cleaning routine quick and straightforward.
