Star Pro-Max® 2.0 PSC28IGT 28" Double Panini Grill, Smooth Bottom / Grooved Top Cast Iron Plates, Analog Controls

The Star Pro-Max® 2.0 PSC28IGT is a 28-inch double panini grill with two independent cast iron upper platens over one 29.1" x 14.2" lower platen, a smooth lower plate and grooved upper plates. It cooks from 175°F to 550°F with an analog bulb-and-capillary thermostat and runs on 208/240V single-phase power.

High-Capacity Contact Cooking

Two upper platens, each 13.5" x 13.5", close on a shared lower platen, so one grill can press two batches of sandwiches at once or run one side while the other is idle. A heavy-duty counterbalance hinge keeps each platen easy to lift and lets it settle evenly on products up to 3 inches thick.

All cooking surfaces are cast iron, which stores heat and recovers quickly between loads; that matters on a high-volume sandwich line where platens are opened and closed constantly.
