Overview
Not a ribbed panini press, this Cadco clamshell uses smooth, flat plates on top and bottom to give a square cooking area. A cover system holds the top plate parallel as it lifts, so thick sandwiches cook evenly.
The reason to choose it is commercial build and layout: a stainless housing, a wiring path routed through a tube so it can sit against a wall, and a grease tray plus scraper for cleanup. Where it falls short is the plate surface, because smooth plates will not leave grill marks.
Who it's for
The grill suits a commercial counter with limited space and a menu of pressed sandwiches and pancakes. A home cook wanting grill marks or a lower-powered unit should consider something else.
Pros and cons
- Smooth plates cook sandwiches and burgers
- Cover lifts parallel for thick items
- Grease tray pulls out for cleaning
- Can sit against a wall
- Smooth plates leave no grill marks
- Weight listed inconsistently
Performance notes
Even cooking comes from the parallel lift of the top plate, which holds contact consistent across thick sandwiches. Temperature control sets the heat, and the smooth plates make cleaning and releasing food easier than ribbed ones.
