Casselin CGPRLGPT Contact Grill with Timer for Large Volumes

A contact grill presses food between two heated plates, transferring heat directly from both sides at once. The top plate grills while the bottom plate sears, cutting cooking time and sealing juices inside. The adjustable thermostat lets the operator match the temperature to the food—lower for delicate items, higher for thicker cuts—while the safety thermostat prevents overheating if the main control fails.

To use the grill, the operator fits two AAA batteries into the timer, sets the desired temperature on the thermostat, and waits for the plates to reach it. Food is placed on the smooth bottom plate, the lid is closed, and the timer is started. The grease released during cooking runs off the plates into the drip tray below. Once the timer sounds, the lid is lifted, the food is removed, and the plates and tray are cleaned with the included brush.

The grill is built from stainless steel, with a grilled top plate measuring 375 by 273 millimetres and a smooth bottom plate 375 by 287 millimetres. A grease drip tray sits beneath the plates to collect fat and juices. The adjustable thermostat ranges from 60 to 300 degrees Celsius, and a safety thermostat cuts power if the temperature exceeds safe limits. The timer runs on two AAA batteries, which are not supplied.

The 2.4 kilowatt power rating means the grill draws a steady load on a 230 volt circuit, so it should be connected to a dedicated socket in a professional kitchen. The 29 kilogram weight requires two people to move the unit safely, and the 425 by 580 by 265 millimetre footprint fits on most worktops but needs clear space above for the lid to open fully.

After each service, the plates and drip tray are cleaned with the included brush to remove grease and food particles. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is wiped down with a damp cloth. The thermostat and timer are checked periodically to ensure they respond correctly.

The Casselin CGPRLGPT is a single model with no variants listed.
