VEMA Ceramic Contact Grill PV2064 for Professional Kitchens

A ceramic contact grill applies heat directly from smooth, non-stick plates that close over food, sealing in juices and creating even grill marks without flipping. The ceramic coating distributes heat uniformly across the surface, preventing hot spots that can burn thin items while leaving thicker ones undercooked. This method cooks faster than an open grill or griddle, using less energy because the plates trap heat between them rather than letting it escape into the air.

To operate the PV2064, place the food on the lower ceramic plate, close the upper plate and set the temperature control. The grill heats quickly, and the plates press the food evenly, cooking both sides at once. When the timer signals or the food reaches the desired doneness, lift the upper plate, remove the food and reset for the next batch. The compact size fits on a worktop or counter, and the weight allows it to be moved when the kitchen is reorganised.

The PV2064 is built with a stainless-steel exterior and ceramic-coated cast-iron plates. The 230 V, 50/60 Hz voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, so no special wiring is needed. The 2.5 kW power rating draws a steady load that balances with other kitchen equipment on the same supply. The 590 mm width, 420 mm depth and 560 mm height create a footprint that fits between cupboards or under shelves, leaving space for prep work on either side.

Cleaning involves wiping the ceramic plates with a damp cloth after each use to remove food residue before it hardens. The stainless-steel surfaces around the plates can be wiped with a mild detergent solution. The 22 kg weight means the grill can be lifted by two people or moved with a trolley when the kitchen layout changes.

The PV2064 is a single model with no variants. It is listed in the catalogue under countertop grills and contact cooking equipment.
