Waring WDG300T Dual Panini Grill with Timer, Half Ribbed Half Flat Cast Iron, 17 x 9.25 in, 240V

The Waring WDG300T is the timer version of Waring's wide dual-surface grill: 17" x 9.25" of cast iron split into a ribbed half and a flat half, plus a reprogrammable countdown timer. It is configured for 240V and built for busy lines that serve both grilled panini and toasted sandwiches.

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.

Why Operators Choose It

Controls

An adjustable thermostat reaches up to 570°F, with Power ON and READY lights so staff know when the plates are at temperature. This timer version adds Waring's reprogrammable countdown timer, which sounds an audible alert when time expires. Setting a standard press time for each sandwich keeps results consistent from cook to cook and cuts down on burnt or underdone product when the line gets busy.
