Waring WPG150B Panini Perfetto Compact Panini Grill, 9.75 x 9.25 in Ribbed Cast Iron Plates, 208V

The Waring WPG150B is the 208V version of the Panini Perfetto compact grill, with a 9.75" x 9.25" ribbed cast-iron cooking surface on a small, roughly 11.5" wide footprint. Drawing 11.5 amps on a NEMA 6-20P plug, it is the right choice for kitchens wired for 208V that want to keep 120V receptacles free for other countertop equipment.

Ribbed Cast-Iron Plates With an Auto-Balancing Top

Both cooking plates are heavy cast iron with raised ribs. Cast iron stores a deep reserve of heat, so the surface holds its temperature when a cold sandwich or raw chicken breast goes down, and the ribs press defined grill marks while lifting the food just enough for fat and moisture to run off rather than soak into the bread. With heat coming from above and below at the same time, sandwiches and proteins finish faster than they would on a flat-top with a spatula and a weight.

The hinged top plate is auto-balancing, so it settles level on whatever is underneath, from a thin quesadilla to a stacked sandwich up to 3" thick, and applies even pressure across the whole item. Grease and crumbs drain to a removable drip tray, and the brushed stainless steel body wipes clean quickly at close. On 208V service the grill pulls fewer amps than its 120V sibling, which leaves more headroom on busy circuits in hotel and institutional kitchens.

Why Operators Choose It

• 208V operation: 11.5 A draw on a NEMA 6-20P plug suits kitchens with 208V service
• Compact size: about 11.5" W x 15.5" D fits tight counters and pass-throughs
• Cast-iron performance: ribbed plates hold heat and leave classic grill marks
• Adjustable heat: thermostat up to 570°F with Power and READY lights
• Handles thick builds: auto-balancing top plate fits food up to 3" thick
• 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.
