Multi-grills

Multi-grills are an economical and space-efficient solution for kitchens with diverse menu requirements — one appliance with interchangeable plates replaces several specialised appliances, reducing the overall investment and the required workspace area. BHS offers these appliances across Europe.

Multi-grill functions and interchangeable plates

The versatility of multi-grills comes from the interchangeable cooking plate system. Grill plates — multi-grills with ribbed cast iron or stainless steel grill plates; suitable for grilling burgers, chicken fillets, fish and vegetables with the characteristic grill pattern. Waffle plates — multi-grills with square or round waffle plates; plates mounted on electric heating elements ensure even waffle cooking on both sides. Sandwich and panini plates — multi-grills with smooth or ribbed sandwich plates; bread slices are pressed between hot surfaces, resulting in a crispy exterior and melted cheese inside. Pancake plate — multi-grills with a smooth pancake plate; the flat, evenly heated surface ensures uniform and round pancakes. Pizza and flatbread plates — multi-grills with a larger stone or stainless steel surface for thin pizzas and flatbreads. Also explore the Salamander Grill.

Multi-grill technical parameters

The choice of multi-grill depends on the power supply, plate size and heating system. Electric power — multi-grills operate with 1,5–4 kW electrical power depending on the plate size; 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase connection. Heating speed — multi-grills reach operating temperature in 5–10 minutes; faster than larger convection ovens. Thermostats — multi-grills with adjustable thermostat 50–300°C; different products require different temperatures. Plate size — multi-grill plate width 30–60 cm; larger plates allow cooking more products simultaneously. Ease of installation — multi-grills with tool-free interchangeable plates; plate change in 30 seconds between different products.

Multi-grill applications in various HoReCa formats

The flexibility of multi-grills makes them suitable for various HoReCa businesses. Café — multi-grills with waffle and sandwich plates; one appliance serves both breakfast and lunch menus. Burger restaurant — multi-grills with grill plates; a compact solution for high production volumes without the need to purchase a large specialised grill surface. Hotel breakfast buffet — multi-grills with pancake and waffle plates; freshly prepared breakfasts enhance guest experience. Canteen — multi-grills with versatile plates; various daily menu items with one appliance. Also explore the Rotisserie Grill.

Multi-grill maintenance and cleaning

Multi-grills with interchangeable plates simplify maintenance compared to stationary grills. Plate cleaning — multi-grill interchangeable plates are removable and can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand with a degreasing agent; easier than cleaning a stationary grill surface. Grease collection — multi-grills with a grease collection tray for fats released during cooking; clean after each use. Grill body cleaning — clean the exterior of the multi-grill with a damp cloth; never expose electrical parts to water. Heating element check — periodically check the multi-grill for even heating of the elements. Also explore the Gas Grill Surface.

HoReCa usage scenarios

A café with a multi-grill in the breakfast area — waffle plate in the morning, sandwich plate at lunchtime; one appliance, two menus. Hotel breakfast area with a multi-grill — pancakes and waffles prepared in front of guests; live cooking enhances guest experience. Fast-food restaurant — multi-grills with grill plates for burger patties and chicken fillets; compact size and quick plate change.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can multi-grill plates be changed between different products? Multi-grills with a quick plate change system allow plates to be changed in 30–60 seconds; however, remember that the plates are hot and must be changed with protective gloves; the new plates must be heated to operating temperature before placing the product. Explore the Grills range.

Are multi-grills suitable for intensive production or only for small volumes? Depending on the model, multi-grills can handle medium production volumes; for large-scale specialised production (e.g., only burgers), a larger specialised grill surface is more efficient; multi-grills are most effective when preparing various types of products throughout the day.
