Product Description
-
Manufactured to exacting commercial standards by the renowned Groupe Matfer Bourgeat, the Matfer Double Cast Iron Ribbed Grill (4.4 kW) is an essential countertop workstation for high-volume cafés, bistros, and fast-food chains. Explicitly engineered for continuous daily use, this heavy-duty dual contact grill allows chefs to grill sandwiches and premium meats simultaneously on both sides, drastically reducing ticket times during peak service rushes.
Delivering outstanding thermal retention and recovery, the unit operates via two separate plugs with a combined power output of 4.4 kW (2 x 2.2 kW). The cooking surface features two independent contact zones measuring 340 x 220 mm each. These plates are constructed from heavy-duty cast iron and finished with an advanced enamel coating that is highly resistant to scratches and oxidation. Equipped with dual independent thermostats, operators can precisely control each side’s temperature between 50°C and 300°C, enabling you to toast delicate breads on one side while heavily searing thick proteins on the other.
Measuring a highly optimized footprint of 840 millimeters long by 395 millimeters wide and 210 millimeters high, this robust 39-kilogram appliance provides massive cooking capacity without completely taking over your active prep counter. The sleek, durable chassis is constructed from premium stainless steel and features heat-resistant ergonomic handles to ensure maximum operator safety.
Designed for maximum operational velocity, this unit simplifies daily sanitation. The ribbed enamelled cast iron plates prevent heavy buildup and are easy to clean, while a front-mounted, removable fat collection tray easily captures excess grease and runoff, empowering back-of-house teams to execute rapid mid-shift wipe-downs and complete nightly closing routines with total convenience.
FAQ'S
1. What is the advantage of enamelled cast iron plates over standard raw cast iron?
A: Standard raw cast iron requires constant seasoning and can easily rust if not maintained perfectly. The Matfer grill features a specialized enamel coating that is highly resistant to scratches and oxidation, providing the superior heat retention of cast iron but making it significantly easier to clean and maintain on a daily basis.
2. Can I cook two different items at completely different temperatures at the same time?
A: Yes. Because this is a true dual-zone grill, it features independent thermostat adjustments. You can set one side to a low 50°C to keep food warm, while running the other side at a blistering 300°C to quickly sear proteins.
3. Does this heavy-duty unit require a specialized hardwired electrical connection?
A: The grill requires significant power to maintain its 4.4 kW output, but it achieves this by utilizing two separate plugs (2 x 2.2 kW). You will need two dedicated commercial outlets capable of supporting 2.2 kW each to safely operate both sides simultaneously at maximum power.
4. Is this grill suitable for cooking raw meats, or is it exclusively for sandwiches?
A: It is explicitly designed for fast food environments to handle both. The dual-sided ribbed plates rapidly sear meat on both sides simultaneously, locking in juices and cutting traditional griddle cooking times in half.
5. How is excess cooking grease handled during heavy use?
A: The stainless steel base houses a built-in removable fat collection tray. As you press burgers or oily sandwiches, all runoff is channeled safely away from the heating elements into this tray, which can be easily removed, emptied, and washed at the end of the shift.
6. Are the handles safe for constant use during a busy service rush?
A: Absolutely. Operator safety is a top priority, so the grill frame is equipped with heavy-duty heat-resistant handles. This ensures your line cooks can rapidly open and close the heavy cast iron upper plates without burning their hands during continuous operation.
