Fifty Shades of Grain: Sandwich Makers & Commercial Panini Grills
Is any lunch dish more of a staple than the perfect sandwich? Sandwich and panini presses let you create ooey-gooey delights layered between crispy grilled bread. As far as dishes go, sandwiches and paninis take lunch from mundane to extraordinary. For those unfamiliar with paninis, think of it as an Italian riff on the sandwich. Often made from ciabatta or focaccia, these delicious sandwiches are piled high with meats, cheeses, veggies, and condiments and then pressed and grilled to crispy exterior perfection. We offer a range of excellent electric sandwich and panini machines at Eleven36. A commercial sandwich grill typically features smooth plates, whereas panini makers have grill plates to create those coveted grill marks. Each grilled sandwich is delightful and delicious, from ham to chicken to roast beef. These commercial sandwich presses and commercial panini presses are perfect for restaurants, sandwich shops, cafes, and food trucks.
One of the best parts of a panini or sandwich press is that they're compact. It's easy to move a sandwich press, and as far as kitchen cooking equipment goes, they're highly portable. Even if you have a small kitchen, you can find room for a high-quality sandwich press. The plate material is typically cast iron with a stainless steel exterior for easy cleaning. The little grills might be small, but they're superstars when it comes to working and finishing dishes in the kitchen. Your staff can easily create classic grilled cheeses, gourmet paninis, breakfast sandwiches, and more. Expand the sandwich line on your menu and make dinner-worthy dishes. All our electric sandwich makers are made by reputable brands that understand the needs of a commercial kitchen. They feature easy-to-clean surfaces, to streamline the work of your staff at the end of shift (while making sure your operation meets all the health and safety standards).
Griddled with Flavor: Waffle Makers
While waffles might not be a staple food for all, they really should be. Waffles are a go-to morning offering for diners, cafes, and brunch venues. Of course, during those peak weekends when customers are rushing in the door, you need equipment that can handle a high volume of waffle orders. At Eleven36, we carry waffle makers designed for the busy commercial kitchen. Electric waffle makers have even heat distribution on the cooking plates for perfect results each and every time. High volumes are no problem with waffle makers that get the temperature ranges and cooking times right. Our electric waffle makers have non-stick irons for easy cleanup and removal of food residue. Best of all, they couldn't be easier to use. Most feature a timer and easy controls that make the job of your kitchen staff simple (because no one wants a stressful morning, especially in the back of the house). Adjustable temperature control yields delicious waffles every time. Get waffles cooked to a flawless golden finish with minimal effort. Reduce your prep time and your stress with compact waffle makers to help any size kitchen rock, even their busiest breakfasts and brunches.
Take the Griddle Road to Europe: Crepe Makers
Crepes are a French delight. These thin, delicate pancakes take a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk, and turn it into something truly amazing. The paper-thin cake is rolled around a variety of sweet or in the case of galettes, savory fillings for an unbeatable meal. Typical sweet crepe ingredients include fruit, whipped cream, butter, or chocolate, whereas savory galettes are the ideal base for jambon (ham), fromage (cheese), or ufs (eggs). Customers will say oui-oui to crepes and keep on coming back for more.
Making crepes is truly an art-the batter must be spread ultra-thin on a hot flat surface until it reaches the perfect texture and consistency. In a commercial kitchen, this requires talent, focus, and the right equipment. At Eleven36 we carry electric crepe makers to help you achieve all your crepe dreams. Our electric crepe makers feature smooth cooking surfaces and precise temperature controls to get that ideal balance. A masterpiece needs a canvas and with the machines we carry, you can produce the Monet of foods: perfect crepes. Whether you're running a food truck or a menu that serves up crepes on a daily basis, a crepe maker is one indispensable kitchen appliance. Add light, flavorful crepes to your main menu for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. You'll keep up with demand with quickly heating crepe machines, designed for gourmet presentation.
A Dinner to Grill For: Teppanyaki Grills
Specialty grills are a popular cooking tool around the world: Italy, the United States, France, and now, Japan. Teppanyaki grills are massively popular in Japanese cuisine, bringing a unique, interactive cooking experience to the customer's table. The Teppanyaki grills we carry at Eleven36 are gas-powered models. Chefs prepare food directly in front of the customers on large, flat cooking surfaces. Hibachi-style meals aren't just dining, they're entertainment too. But beneath the performance is a delicious way to cook. Teppanyaki grills are perfect for cooking many different ingredients on a single surface. Seafood like shrimp and scallops, chicken, beef, and an array of vegetables are all excellent foods for teppanyaki grills. If you want to offer your customers an immersive dining experience, teppanyaki grills are a wonderful piece of equipment. With precise temperature controls and spacious cooking surfaces, you can perfectly cook a delicious array of foods.
