Waring

£417.00(£500.40 inc VAT)

The Waring WFG275K is a countertop single contact grill designed for commercial use. A hinged, auto-balancing top plate accommodates food up to 75mm thick, making it practical for a range of items including burgers, steaks, paninis, and toasted sandwiches. With a temperature range running up to 300°C, the cooking surface can reach the temperatures needed for a proper sear or a consistent toasted finish.

In a busy service environment, the auto-balancing lid is a practical detail rather than a gimmick — it maintains even contact across the food surface regardless of thickness, which matters when you are moving quickly through orders and cannot afford inconsistent results. The 2.4kW element provides reliable heat recovery between successive items, making it a dependable unit for moderate-volume service rather than a very high-throughput operation.

Operationally, the WFG275K offers several practical advantages for kitchens where counter space is at a premium:

Compact footprint suits smaller prep or service counters
Single-zone operation keeps things straightforward for front-of-house or small back-kitchen teams
Smooth plate surfaces are easier to clean during and after service
Countertop installation requires no fixed fitting — easy to reposition if needed
Consistent contact pressure from the hinged lid reduces the need for operator attention mid-cook

At 36.82kg, the unit is reasonably substantial for a countertop grill, so the surface it sits on should be sturdy and level. It is a 2.4kW unit, so standard commercial single-phase supply is sufficient — no specialist electrical provision is needed in most cases, though it is worth confirming your local supply before installation. No gas or water connections are required.

The WFG275K is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations where a reliable contact grill is needed without the footprint or cost of a larger double-sided model. It is not designed for very high-volume throughput; for kitchens producing large numbers of grilled items continuously across a long service, a heavier-duty or dual-plate model may be a more practical fit.

Waring WPG250K Large Panini Grill | Cast Iron Ribbed Plates

£451.00(£541.20 inc VAT)

The Waring WPG250K is a heavy-duty electric contact grill built for commercial foodservice environments where panini, toasted sandwiches, flatbreads, and grilled proteins need to be produced consistently throughout the day. It uses cast iron ribbed plates on both the upper and lower platens, which retain and distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface — a meaningful practical advantage over thinner plate grills that can lose temperature quickly when orders arrive in close succession.

Cast iron takes longer to reach working temperature than lighter alternatives, but once there it holds heat reliably through successive covers. That thermal stability matters during a busy lunch or brunch service when the grill is being loaded and unloaded repeatedly with little recovery time between. The adjustable thermostat gives operators control over browning and grill marks across a varied menu — from delicate flatbreads and wraps through to thicker ciabatta or marinated chicken breast. The ribbed surface produces defined grill marks that hold up well on both bread and protein.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

Even heat retention across the cast iron surface, reducing hot spots during service
Adjustable thermostat suited to a varied grill menu
Ribbed plates produce consistent grill marks on bread, meat, and vegetables
Stainless steel housing wipes down quickly between services
Heat-resistant handles allow safe plate adjustment during use

At 34.5kg this is a substantial piece of equipment and requires a stable, level surface with adequate clearance around it for safe operation and ventilation. The electrical connection spec should be confirmed with a qualified electrician prior to installation. It is worth noting that this model is not designed for continuous all-day output at very high volume — sites turning out a significant number of covers from opening to close may find a heavier-duty model with a larger cooking surface a more appropriate fit.

The WPG250K is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, hotel breakfast operations, and school or workplace catering sites where grilled sandwiches and panini feature regularly but are not the sole high-volume output. It is less suited to fast-food or quick-service environments where a purpose-built, higher-capacity contact grill running continuously through a long service would be more appropriate.
