Lincat LPC Pizzachef Infrared Grill

The Lincat LPC Pizzachef is a countertop electric infrared grill designed primarily for finishing pizzas, melting toppings, and general grilling tasks. It uses infrared heating elements to deliver direct, intense heat across the cooking zone, with variable control on the lower element allowing operators to adjust heat output to suit the task in hand. An integrated electric timer helps maintain consistency across a service period without relying on visual checks alone.

In a working kitchen environment, the LPC performs reliably across steady service periods where a compact, responsive grill is needed. The infrared heating approach means heat is delivered quickly and directly, which is useful when throughput matters and recovery time between covers needs to be kept short. It is particularly well suited to operations that finish pizza to order, melt cheese on gratins or open sandwiches, or need a compact grilling station without the footprint of a full salamander.

Practical advantages of this unit include:

• Infrared elements deliver direct heat quickly, reducing waiting time between items
• Variable lower element control allows adjustment for different products and portion sizes
• Built-in timer supports consistent results and reduces the risk of over-cooking during busy service
• Enamel fascia and rod shelf are straightforward to wipe down at the end of service
• Stay-cool handles on the shelf allow safe repositioning without interrupting service

Installation is straightforward — the LPC is a countertop electric unit and does not require gas supply, water connection, or specialist ventilation beyond what is already in place above a standard cooking line. It does need a suitable electrical supply and adequate counter space, and the surface beneath should be heat-resistant. As with any grill, positioning relative to extraction is worth considering to manage smoke and heat effectively.

This unit is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, pizzerias, pub kitchens, and similar — where a compact, reliable grill is needed for finishing work rather than high-volume throughput. For sites running continuous heavy grilling across a long service period, a higher-capacity overhead grill or full salamander may be a more practical choice.

If you are unsure whether the LPC is the right fit for your setup, or want to talk through how it sits alongside your existing equipment, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.
