Casselin Double Contact Grill PREMIUM Mixed CGP2HRBLPT

A double contact grill presses food between heated plates from above and below, transferring heat directly into both sides at once. This method cooks faster than a single-sided grill, seals in juices and creates even grill marks without flipping. The top and bottom plates close together, applying gentle pressure that speeds up cooking and gives consistent results across the entire surface. Because the plates touch the food on both sides, there is no need to turn it, which keeps the kitchen workflow smooth and reduces handling time.

To use the grill, the operator first selects the desired temperature on the two adjustable thermostats, one for the top plate and one for the bottom. The plates heat up and the unit is ready when the indicator shows the set temperature. Food is placed on the lower plate, the top plate is lowered, and the timer is started. The grill applies even pressure while the food cooks, and the grease drip tray collects any fat or juices that run off. Once the timer signals, the top plate is raised and the food is removed. The process repeats for each batch, with the thermostats maintaining the chosen temperature throughout service.

The grill is built from stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to clean. The top and bottom plates are removable and come in two versions: smooth for delicate items like fish or vegetables, and grooved for meats that need visible grill marks. Each plate measures 210 by 230 mm on the top and 220 by 242 mm on the bottom, giving a small overlap that ensures full contact. A safety thermostat prevents overheating, and two AAA batteries power the timer display. The grease drip tray slides out for emptying and cleaning, and a cleaning brush is included to remove residue from the plates.

The 2.9 kW power rating means the grill draws a steady load on a standard 230 V circuit, suitable for most professional kitchens without requiring a dedicated line. The 31 kg weight keeps the unit stable on a worktop while still allowing it to be moved when necessary. The footprint of 490 by 520 mm fits on most worktops, leaving space for food preparation alongside. The adjustable thermostats cover a range from 60 °C to 300 °C, which allows the grill to handle everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing.

After use, the plates are removed and cleaned with the included brush or a cloth. The grease drip tray is emptied and wiped down, and the stainless steel body is wiped with a damp cloth. The timer batteries should be checked periodically and replaced when needed. The grill comes with all four plates—two smooth and two grooved—so the operator can switch between them depending on the menu.
