Product Description
The Spidoglass Medium is a manually operated contact grill from Spidocook, fitted with smooth black glass ceramic cooking surfaces on both the top and bottom plates. It is designed for grilling sandwiches, paninis, focaccia, chicken fillets, fish, and similar menu items in a commercial setting. The manual operation means the operator controls press pressure and timing directly, without the need for programmable timers or digital controls.
In a busy service environment, the glass ceramic surface distributes heat evenly across the cooking area, which helps produce consistent results across multiple covers. The smooth surface also means there are no ridges or channels to trap residue, which speeds up cleaning considerably between service periods — a practical advantage during a long shift where the grill is in near-constant use.
The key operational benefits of this model include:
- Even heat distribution across the smooth plate for consistent browning
- Fast, straightforward cleaning between covers and shifts
- Simple manual operation suited to fast-paced service
- Compact footprint that fits comfortably on a counter or back bar
- Stainless steel body that holds up to daily commercial use
At 14.9kg, the unit is light enough to be repositioned if needed, though most operators will site it permanently on a counter. It requires a standard single-phase electrical supply — confirm your socket specification before installation. No water connection or ventilation extraction is required, though adequate airflow around the unit is advisable in enclosed counter spaces.
This model is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, small restaurants, and bars running a light to moderate grill menu. It is a practical, no-frills option where reliability and ease of cleaning matter more than programmable features. For operations with higher throughput demands or a heavier grill menu, a larger or dual-head model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or menu, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Spidoglass Medium handles a steady flow of paninis, sandwiches, and similar items well, making it a reliable choice for a moderate lunch operation. If you are running continuous back-to-back covers at volume, a larger or dual-head model would give you the additional capacity to keep up with demand without slowing service.
- The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply, which suits most UK counter-top installations. Before purchasing, confirm your available socket rating matches the grill's power draw — your electrician or equipment installer can advise if you are unsure.
- The smooth glass surfaces have no grooves or ridges, so residue wipes away quickly once the plates have cooled to a safe temperature. Most operators find a damp cloth or soft scraper is sufficient, avoiding the more involved cleaning associated with ribbed cast iron or aluminium plates.
