Product Description
The Lincat LPG single contact grill is a countertop unit designed for direct-heat cooking of meat cuts, fillets and pressed sandwiches in a commercial kitchen. It runs on LPG rather than mains electricity, which makes it a practical option where dedicated electrical supply is restricted or where gas is the more convenient service on site. Both the top and bottom plates are ribbed enamelled cast iron, producing the defined branding marks expected on grilled burgers, steaks, chops and paninis.
Cast iron holds heat well once the unit is up to temperature, which helps maintain consistent cooking results across a run of covers. The thermostatic control allows kitchen staff to set and hold a target temperature, supporting repeatable outcomes without relying on individual judgement during a busy service. The balanced hinge mechanism applies even pressure across the plates — enough to seal a panini or wrap without compressing it to the point of losing its shape.
- Enamelled cast iron plates retain and distribute heat evenly between batches
- Ribbed top and bottom surfaces produce clean branding marks on meat and bread
- Thermostatic control supports consistent cooking across a service period
- Balanced hinge suits a range of products from meat cuts to pressed sandwiches
- LPG operation where mains electrical capacity is unavailable or impractical
As a single-head unit, this grill is well suited to lower-volume operations — a café, sandwich bar, small restaurant, or a secondary station within a larger kitchen. If your grill is running continuously through a long service or handling high covers, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or dual-platen model would better match your throughput.
If you are unsure whether LPG is the right fuel choice for your setup, or want to talk through how this unit would fit into your kitchen, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
- As a single-head unit, it is best matched to lower-volume operations such as cafés, sandwich bars or small restaurants, or as a secondary station within a larger kitchen. If your grill runs continuously through a long service or you are cooking at high volume, a heavier-duty or dual-platen model is likely to be the more practical choice.
- The unit runs on LPG and will require a correctly regulated gas supply and connection by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You should confirm that your LPG supply pressure and flow rate are compatible with the unit before installation, and ensure adequate ventilation in line with local regulations for gas-burning appliances.
- Enamelled cast iron plates are reasonably straightforward to clean once cool, but they do require a degree of care — abrasive cleaning tools should be avoided to protect the enamel coating. During service, a quick wipe between batches is generally sufficient to keep the plates in good working order.
