Lincat LRG2 Double Contact Grill

The Lincat LRG2 is a countertop electric contact grill with two cast iron cooking plates — a ribbed upper plate and a smooth lower plate. It cooks both sides of a product simultaneously, making it a practical choice for operations that need to move product quickly without sacrificing consistency. It handles a wide range of menu items including burgers, chicken fillets, steaks, paninis, and wraps from a single unit.

Cast iron retains heat well, which is a practical advantage during back-to-back service. As batches follow one another, the plates recover temperature more reliably than lighter alternatives, helping to keep cook times and output quality consistent through a busy period. Thermostatic temperature control allows operators to set a fixed cooking temperature and hold it across a full shift, which reduces variability between staff and limits the risk of over- or under-cooked output when the kitchen is under pressure.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:

• Two-sided simultaneous cooking reduces individual cook times significantly
• Ribbed top plate produces clean grill marks suitable for plated presentation
• Thermostatic control supports repeatable results across different operators and shift changes
• Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where worktop space is at a premium
• Cast iron plates are durable under sustained commercial use

As a plug-in countertop unit, the LRG2 requires no specialist installation beyond a suitable mains connection and a stable, heat-resistant worktop. Contact grills produce steam and radiant heat during service, so consider ventilation above and around the unit — particularly in smaller or enclosed kitchen spaces. The weight of a cast iron plate unit is worth confirming against your countertop specification before positioning.

This model is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and small to mid-sized restaurant operations running steady moderate throughput. It is not designed for continuous high-volume service over extended periods — sites with that level of demand would be better served by a heavier-duty unit with a larger cooking surface. For lighter-output operations, smaller single-plate alternatives are available within the contact grill range.

If you are unsure whether this model matches your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
