Lincat LRG2 Double Contact Grill

The Lincat LRG2 is a double-plate contact grill designed for countertop use in commercial kitchens. It cooks both sides of a product simultaneously using ribbed cast iron plates on top and a smooth cast iron surface below, which makes it practical for operations where speed and consistency matter. It handles a broad range of products — burgers, chicken fillets, steaks, chops, paninis, and wraps — without requiring separate cooking surfaces for different menu items.

In a working service environment, the LRG2 performs reliably through steady rotations of product. Cast iron plates retain heat well, which helps maintain cooking performance when batches follow one another in quick succession. Thermostatic temperature control allows operators to set and hold a consistent cooking temperature across a full shift, reducing variability between staff members and reducing the likelihood of under- or over-cooked output during a busy period.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:

• Simultaneous two-sided cooking reduces cook times compared to single-sided methods
• Ribbed top plate produces clean grill marks, supporting presentation on plated dishes
• Thermostatic control supports repeatable results across different operators and shift changes
• Compact countertop format suits kitchens where worktop space is limited
• Cast iron plates are durable under regular commercial use and retain heat effectively

The LRG2 is a plug-in countertop electric unit, so installation is relatively straightforward. It requires a stable, heat-resistant countertop surface and an appropriate mains connection. Contact grills generate steam and heat during service, so adequate ventilation above and around the unit is worth factoring in — particularly in compact or enclosed kitchen areas. Before positioning, confirm your countertop can comfortably bear the weight of a cast iron plate unit.

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