Stalgast Contact Grill R/R 310 mm for Even Heat Distribution

A contact grill presses food between two heated plates, transferring heat directly from both surfaces. This method cooks faster than an open grill or griddle, sealing in juices while creating even browning and grill marks. The plates stay in constant contact with the food, so there is no need to turn or flip items during cooking, and the closed design reduces smoke and splatter in the kitchen.

To use the grill, plug it into a 230 V circuit and switch it on. Set the temperature between 50 and 300 °C using the control dial; the indicator light shows when the plates have reached the chosen setting. Place food on the bottom plate, close the lid and let the grill do the work. The safety thermostat cuts power if the temperature rises too high, and the heat-resistant handle stays cool enough to grip while the plates are hot. A removable tray under the plates collects grease and residue, keeping the worktop clean.

The grill is built with a stainless-steel body and cast-iron plates. The bottom plate has a raised edge to contain food and liquids, making it easier to lift items without spilling. A single switch turns the unit on and off, while a separate dial adjusts the temperature. The indicator light confirms the grill is heating, and the safety thermostat adds an extra layer of protection against overheating.

The 1.8 kW power rating means the grill draws a steady load from a standard 13 A socket, suitable for most professional kitchen circuits. The temperature range of 50 to 300 °C covers everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing, so the grill can handle delicate fish, thick steaks, vegetables and pressed sandwiches. At 13 kg, the unit is light enough to move between workstations but stable enough to stay in place during use. Its footprint of 310 mm by 360 mm fits on most worktops without crowding other equipment.

Cleaning is straightforward: after the plates cool, wipe them with a damp cloth or grill brush. The grease tray slides out for emptying and washing, and the raised edge on the bottom plate prevents spills from reaching the counter. The heat-resistant handle does not require special care, but it should not be immersed in water.

The grill is available in single, double and Panini versions, each with the same temperature control and safety features.
