Waring WPG250TB Panini Supremo Large Panini Grill with Timer, 14.5 x 11 in Ribbed Cast Iron, 208V

The Waring WPG250TB combines the large Panini Supremo grill with a reprogrammable countdown timer, configured for 208V service. Its 14.5" x 11" ribbed cast-iron surface handles volume, and the timer keeps every press consistent, which suits hotel, institutional and multi-shift kitchens where many different cooks use the same station.

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. Adjustable back feet angle the grill toward the drip tray to help grease drain away from the plates.

Why Operators Choose It

• Timer included: reprogrammable countdown with an audible alert
• Large cooking area: 14.5" x 11" ribbed cast iron for multiple orders
• 208V service: built for kitchens wired for 208V single phase
• Consistency across shifts: preset times help every cook produce the same result
• Grease control: adjustable back feet and removable drip tray

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.
