Product Information

Full details

The Steelmore PG-MA Contact Grill is an ideal choice for cafe owners, bistro operators, and professional chefs who need a compact yet robust solution for grilling paninis, sandwiches, and meats. Its primary benefit is the high-performance ceramic-coated cast iron plates, which provide exceptional heat retention and consistent, professional searing; however, the unit's weight due to its heavy-duty construction means it is best suited for a permanent location on your kitchen counter rather than frequent relocation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this grill require professional installation?

No, the PG-MA operates on a standard 13A UK plug, so it can be set up immediately by placing it on a level, stable surface.

Can I use metal scrapers on the ceramic coating?

It is not recommended. Use silicone or wooden tools to prevent damaging the ceramic finish.

What is the cooking surface area?

The cooking surface measures 338mm x 220mm, providing ample space for multiple sandwiches or meat cuts.

Is the drip tray dishwasher safe?

While the tray is durable, it is recommended to wash it by hand in warm, soapy water to preserve the finish.

How often should I clean the grill plates?

For hygiene and performance, the plates should be wiped down periodically during service and cleaned thoroughly at the end of every shift.

Can I adjust the temperature?

Yes, the unit features an adjustable temperature control to suit various cooking requirements, from delicate ingredients to thick meats.

Troubleshooting

Unit fails to heat up

Check that the 13A plug is fully inserted into the socket and the power is switched on. Ensure the safety thermostat has not tripped.

Excessive smoking during operation

Ensure the drip tray is clean and free of excess fat buildup. Verify that the cooking plates are free of heavily charred food residue.

Lid feels stiff or does not sit level

Check the counterbalanced hinge mechanism for any obstructions or buildup of food debris and clean thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention from cast iron plates
  • Durable commercial-grade stainless steel build
  • Easy to clean with the removable drip tray
  • Safe operation with protected handle and safety thermostat
  • Ready for use with a standard 13A UK plug

  • Heavier than residential contact grills due to high-quality materials
  • Ribbed surface requires dedicated cleaning brushes
  • Not suitable for outdoor or mobile catering without a stable power supply

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Steelmore PG-MA, ensure it is placed on a flat, heat-resistant surface with adequate ventilation around the sides. The unit is pre-wired with a standard 13A UK plug, making it "plug-and-play" for most commercial kitchens. To maintain the life of the ceramic coating, avoid using metal utensils which can scratch the surface; instead, opt for silicone or wooden tools. Cleaning should be performed after the unit has cooled down. The drip tray should be emptied and washed daily in warm, soapy water. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior stainless steel frame, and a soft brush specifically designed for ribbed grills to clear food debris from the cooking surface.
