Product Description
The Lincat LPG2 is a double-headed contact grill designed for countertop use in commercial kitchens. It cooks food simultaneously from both sides using ribbed enamelled cast iron plates, making it a practical choice for a broad range of menu items — burgers, steaks, chicken fillets, paninis and wraps. The two independent cooking zones mean different products can be grilled at the same time, which is a genuine operational advantage when handling mixed orders during a busy service.
Contact grills earn their place in a commercial kitchen by cutting cook times considerably compared to flat griddles or open grills. The cast iron plates retain heat well, helping maintain consistent cooking temperatures across a full service session rather than just during the first covers. The ribbed surface produces clean grill marks, giving food a finished appearance without the need for a charcoal or char grill setup.
From a practical standpoint, this unit offers several day-to-day operational advantages:
- Two independent zones allow mixed grilling without flavour transfer between products
- Enamelled cast iron plates are durable and straightforward to clean down after service
- Thermostatic temperature control supports consistent results across different menu items
- Ribbed plates produce visible branding lines on meat, fish and bread products
- Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where space is at a premium
Installation is uncomplicated — this is a countertop electric unit that requires 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. It is worth confirming counter depth and available socket provision before ordering.
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 very high volumes throughout service may find a heavier-duty unit with greater plate area a more appropriate fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this model suits your service volumes and kitchen setup, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The LPG2 is well suited to moderate-volume service — a busy café or pub kitchen handling a steady flow of orders through a lunchtime period, for example. For sites running uninterrupted high-volume service across extended shifts, it is worth considering whether a unit with a larger plate area would offer better throughput without the operator needing to queue orders.
- The LPG2 is a countertop electric unit, so it needs a suitable power supply and a stable, heat-resistant surface to sit on. You should allow adequate clearance above and to the sides to manage the heat produced during operation. Confirming your available socket provision and counter depth before ordering is advisable.
- The ribbed cast iron plates make it versatile across a range of menu items — burgers, steaks, chicken fillets, paninis, wraps and most flatbread-based products all suit this style of grill. The two independent zones are particularly useful when your menu includes items that require different cooking temperatures or times running simultaneously.
