Product Description
The Roller Grill GED 20 is an electric double waffle iron designed specifically to produce Liege-style waffles in a commercial setting. Unlike Brussels-style waffle irons, the Liege format uses a denser, enriched dough and delivers a characteristically chewy texture with caramelised edges — a result that depends heavily on consistent plate temperature and even heat distribution across the casting. This unit is built around that requirement.
In service, the GED 20 runs two sets of double plates simultaneously, producing four waffles per cycle. The cast iron plates hold residual heat effectively, which matters when orders arrive in quick succession. Where cheaper units drop temperature noticeably between cycles and produce uneven results, the cast construction of this model helps maintain consistency through a continuous run — important during a hotel breakfast push or a busy street food service.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are straightforward:
- Four waffles per cycle delivers a workable output without a large counter footprint
- Cast plates retain heat well, supporting consistent caramelisation through repeated use
- Liege-specific plate geometry produces the correct texture and surface finish
- Four-sided drip tray contains batter overflow and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Electric operation means no gas connection is required, giving flexibility in placement
Installation is straightforward. The unit is electric and requires a suitable mains socket at the point of use — no gas supply or water connection is needed. It sits on a countertop and has a compact footprint relative to its output, though it does generate heat during operation and should be positioned with adequate clearance from heat-sensitive surfaces and equipment. It is not designed for continuous production at very high volumes; for sites needing significantly greater throughput, a larger or multi-unit setup may be worth considering.
This model is a practical fit for cafés, food-to-go counters, hotel breakfast operations, and event catering where Liege waffles form a regular part of the offer but don't represent the sole focus of the entire service. It handles steady demand well without being oversized for occasional use.
If you're weighing up whether this model suits your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The GED 20 is well suited to steady, continuous demand of the kind found in hotel breakfast service or a busy café. The cast plates hold heat effectively between cycles, which helps maintain consistent results when orders come through regularly rather than occasionally. For very high-volume sites running waffle production as a primary output throughout a long service period, a multi-unit setup may be worth discussing.
- The GED 20 is a countertop electric unit with no gas or water requirements. It needs a suitable mains power supply at the point of use and should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around it, as the unit generates heat during operation. No specialist installation work is typically required beyond ensuring the correct electrical supply is available.
- It matters if you have a specific product in mind. Liege waffles are made from a dough-based recipe containing pearl sugar, which caramelises against the plates to give a denser, chewier result with a slightly sticky, caramelised exterior. Brussels waffles use a lighter batter and produce a crispier, rectangular result. The plate geometry and spacing differ between the two styles, so a Liege iron is intended specifically for Liege-style waffles. If you're unsure which format suits your menu, it's worth speaking with the team before ordering.
