Contact grills (also known as panini makers or panini presses) are the ideal compact solution for expertly making food to go. Similar to a griddle, these grills are slightly different as they also use an upper plate. The upper plate is usually used to improve the surface area which is being cooked, which leads to faster, more visually appealing results without having to turn the food. Contact grills are available in a wide variety of styles to suit the type of catering you do. From compact "bistro" versions, to double-sized models with twin upper plates, there's the perfect grill to suit any size café, takeaway, kiosk or canteen. With renowned British and international brand names such as Buffalo, Rowlett, Lincat, Unox and Waring, there's plenty to choose from. For alternative grill types, check out the wide selection of salamander grills, chargrills or commercial barbecues.
