Roller Grill GED 40 Double Ice Cream Waffle Iron

The Roller Grill GED 40 is a dedicated electric waffle iron built specifically for producing ice cream cones. Unlike general-purpose waffle makers, it is configured with criss-cross patterned cast iron plates that form the characteristic cone waffle shape, making it a single-purpose unit designed to do one job consistently and reliably.

Cast iron is the preferred plate material for this kind of work. It holds heat steadily across the full cooking surface and recovers quickly between batches, which matters when demand is continuous and you cannot afford uneven results or extended waiting time between cones. The double-plate configuration allows two waffles to be produced at the same time, effectively doubling throughput compared to a single-plate unit — a meaningful advantage during busy service periods or at high-footfall venues.

In practical terms, the GED 40 suits operations where cone production is a regular, volume-driven activity rather than an occasional requirement:

• Ice cream parlours and gelato counters producing cones to order throughout the day
• Dessert cafés and dessert bars with consistent cone demand during service
• Hospitality venues offering made-to-order ice cream as part of a dessert menu
• Event catering and concession setups with a dedicated ice cream or dessert station

It is worth noting that this is a purpose-built unit rather than a versatile cooking tool. If your cone volumes are modest or seasonal, a single-plate alternative may be a more proportionate investment. Conversely, if you are running a high-volume operation with continuous demand, it is worth discussing whether a single double-plate unit will be sufficient or whether a pair of units would give you the resilience you need.
