Product Description
The Lincat GG1R is a single-head countertop contact grill designed for commercial use. It uses cast aluminium plates with a PTFE non-stick coating and mica heating elements to deliver simultaneous top-and-bottom contact heat. The smooth plate configuration produces a clean, even finish on paninis, toasted sandwiches, chicken fillets, and similar items where consistent surface contact matters more than grill marks.
In a working kitchen, this unit performs reliably in lower-to-medium throughput environments. It reaches temperature quickly and holds it well under moderate demand, making it a practical day-to-day tool where the grill sees regular but not continuous use across a full service period. Operations running back-to-back covers at pace across a long service window will likely find a multi-head or higher-capacity unit a more practical fit.
The main operational advantages are straightforward:
- PTFE non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
- Cast aluminium plates distribute heat evenly, reducing inconsistency across the cooking surface
- Simultaneous dual-plate contact reduces cooking time per item compared to single-sided methods
- Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where service space is at a premium
- Simple construction with few serviceable components keeps ongoing maintenance manageable
The GG1R is a plug-in electric unit with no gas supply or specialist ventilation infrastructure required. Positioning it near an extraction point remains sensible practice in any enclosed kitchen environment. It needs a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around the unit during service.
This grill is well suited to cafés, sandwich counters, tea rooms, and small restaurants where hot snacks and toasted items are a regular part of the menu without being the primary high-volume output. For operations running a sustained grill service across a full service period, it is worth considering whether a larger or multi-head unit would be the more appropriate choice.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service style and kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The GG1R performs well in lower-to-medium throughput environments where the grill is in regular but not continuous use throughout service. If your operation runs a sustained queue of orders across a full lunch or dinner service, a multi-head unit would likely be the more practical choice to maintain output without putting undue strain on a single-head machine.
- It is a plug-in electric unit, so there is no gas supply, water connection, or specialist ventilation infrastructure required. You will need a stable, heat-resistant countertop surface with adequate clearance around the unit, and positioning it within reach of an extraction point is advisable in any enclosed kitchen.
- Yes — the smooth plate configuration is well suited to chicken fillets, burgers, fish portions, and other items where even surface contact and a clean finish are more important than grill marks. It is worth noting that smooth plates are not designed to replicate the charred lines of a ribbed or open grill, so consider your menu requirements before selecting this configuration.
