The Waring WFG300 Tostato Ottimo is a dual toasting grill with a wide 17" x 9.25" flat cast-iron surface. It produces evenly toasted, line-free sandwiches in volume and is configured for 240V service, a fit for busy delis, Cuban sandwich shops and institutional lines.
Smooth Cast-Iron Toasting Plates
Flat cast-iron plates make full contact with the bread for an even, golden crust with no grill lines, the finish many operators want for Cuban sandwiches, grilled cheese, croque monsieur, quesadillas and pressed wraps. Cast iron holds a large reserve of heat, so the plates recover quickly between loads and toast consistently from the first order of the rush to the last. 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.
A smooth surface also suits items that would catch in ribs, such as flatbreads, tortillas and thin-sliced vegetables. The hinged, auto-balancing top plate settles level on product up to 3" thick, while a removable drip tray collects grease and crumbs and the brushed stainless steel body cleans up with a quick wipe.
Why Operators Choose It
- Wide flat surface: 17" x 9.25" holds a row of sandwiches per press
- Even toasting: smooth cast iron for a uniform golden crust
- Fast recovery: cast-iron plates hold heat during rushes
- 240V power: for kitchens wired for 240V single phase
- Adjustable heat: thermostat up to 570°F with Power ON and READY lights
- Easy cleanup: removable drip tray and brushed stainless steel body
Controls
Control is simple: an adjustable thermostat reaches up to 570°F for anything from a gentle melt to a hard sear, and Power ON and READY indicator lights show at a glance when the plates are hot enough to load. If you want a built-in countdown timer, Waring offers timer versions of its panini grills.
