SAMMIC Contact Grill GRS-5 for Professional Kitchens

This contact grill cooks food between two heated, ribbed surfaces, searing both sides simultaneously. The upper plate moves freely on a hinge, adjusting to different food thicknesses without crushing. Heat from the cast iron plates ensures even grill marks and a crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender.

To operate, connect the unit to a 230 V supply and set the thermostat up to 250 °C. Raise the adjustable cover, place food on the lower corrugated plate, and lower the cover until it rests on the food. The brake secures the cover in place, maintaining consistent pressure. After cooking, lift the cover, remove the food, and close the grill to retain heat between batches.

The stainless steel housing resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning. Both upper and lower plates are made of cast iron alloy, known for retaining and distributing heat evenly. A front frying pan captures excess fat and juices, minimising flare-ups and keeping the workspace tidy.

With a 1.8 kW power rating, the grill is suitable for a standard kitchen circuit. Its dimensions of 400 x 430 x 240 mm allow it to fit on most worktops without overcrowding. The 20 kg weight enables safe repositioning by two people. The 365 x 245 mm plate size handles multiple portions at once, improving efficiency during busy periods.

Cleaning involves brushing off debris after use, wiping the cast iron plates with a damp cloth once cooled, and emptying the front frying pan. The stainless steel housing can be cleaned with a mild detergent. Regular seasoning of the cast iron plates preserves their non-stick surface and prevents rust.

The GRS-5 is a single-pressure model designed for professional catering use.
