Built-in contact grill PRESS

embeddedprofessionalcommercial

Overview
The Merrychef® Panini Press is an oven-mounted accessory engineered to expand cooking capabilities of high-speed Merrychef ovens. It applies controlled pressure to paninis, bagels, subs, quesadillas and flatbreads to deliver consistent grill marks and even reheating while remaining removable for cleaning.

Materials & safety
All Merrychef® accessories are food-safe and designed to minimise oven arcing. Select items are 100% PTFE; others use specialised non-stick coatings. Most accessories are dishwasher compatible; verify individual part specifications for material and cleaning guidance.
