Spidocook Spidoglass Double Contact Grill – Ribbed Upper, Smooth Lower

The Spidocook Spidoglass is a manual double-headed contact grill with a ribbed upper plate and a smooth lower plate, both made from glass ceramic. It is designed to handle a broad range of grilled items — pressed sandwiches, focaccia, panini, grilled vegetables, poultry and lighter cuts of meat — making it a practical workhorse for operations where a single unit needs to cover several menu requirements.

In service, the glass ceramic surface distributes heat consistently across the plate, which matters when you are producing grilled items back to back during a busy lunch or evening shift. The manual format keeps operation straightforward — staff set what they need and the grill holds it. There is no programming to contend with, which keeps training requirements low and reduces the risk of operator error at the worst possible time.

The plate configuration offers a practical advantage for mixed menus. The ribbed upper plate leaves grill marks on the top face of the food, while the smooth lower plate contacts the base without marking — useful where presentation of the underside matters, or where you are grilling items that need a flat contact surface below.

• Glass ceramic plates offer consistent heat distribution across the cooking surface
• Ribbed upper and smooth lower configuration supports mixed menu grilling
• Manual operation reduces training time and simplifies service
• 304 stainless steel construction stands up to daily commercial kitchen use
• Straightforward plate access makes cleaning between service periods manageable

At 17kg the unit is robust without being unwieldy, and the footprint is practical for counter use in kitchens where worktop space is at a premium. It is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, hotel bars, and small restaurant kitchens running moderate volumes. For higher-volume sites producing grilled items continuously through long service periods, a heavier-duty unit with greater plate mass may be worth considering.
