Waring WDG300 Dual Panini Grill, Half Ribbed Half Flat Cast Iron, 17 x 9.25 in, 240V

The Waring WDG300 is a wide 17" x 9.25" dual panini grill split into a ribbed half for grill-marked panini and a flat half for line-free toasting. Configured for 240V service, it gives high-volume kitchens both plate styles in one footprint.

Ribbed and Flat Cast Iron in One Grill

This dual-surface model pairs ribbed cast iron with flat cast iron, which Waring describes as its half grill, half griddle configuration. The ribbed section gives panini, burgers and chicken defined grill marks and lets fat drain away, while the flat section produces evenly toasted sandwiches, quesadillas and wraps with no lines. One footprint covers both menu styles, which saves counter space and a second plug. The 17" wide surface is the widest in Waring's panini grill range, so a single press can hold a row of sandwiches during peak periods.

Like the rest of the Waring panini line, the cast-iron plates spread heat evenly and hold temperature through repeated loads. The hinged, auto-balancing top plate accepts food up to 3" thick, grease runs to a removable drip tray, and the brushed stainless steel housing is easy to keep clean.
