Features
Below are the standout features that make the Taylor L852 and L858 grills a valuable addition to any kitchen.
- One-Touch Menu Selection: Automatically chooses the proper time, temperature, and gap settings.
- True Parallel Auto Leveling: An automated procedure sets the lower plate parallel to the upper platen, enhancing food quality through consistently accurate gap settings.
- Programmable Controls: Automatically determines the product placed on the grill and sets cook time and multi-gap parameters, making operation easier and improving flexibility. The microprocessor controls are programmable, allowing for future menu items and product specification changes at the restaurant level.
- Upper Platens: The upper platen can be lowered manually for quick closing or will close automatically to the preset gap setting with the touch of one button. The slim platen design makes cleaning easier, and for safety, the platen will automatically open if power is lost or an obstruction is detected.
- Precise Automatic Gapping: With a unique three-point reference system, the lower plate automatically achieves accurate and consistent gaps every time, resulting in consistent, better-quality finished products.
- Cooking Zones: Two controlled cooking positions with three independent heating elements in the lower cooking surface and two in the upper platen ensure even temperatures and quick recovery. A larger cooking gap allows for products up to 2.0” thick to be cooked in two-sided mode, enabling greater menu flexibility.
- Independent Platen Cooking Zones: Separate lower cook zones can be turned off during slow periods to save energy and provide a flexible cleaning schedule. Each zone allows for cooking different menu items at different temperatures throughout the day, with no flavor or food transfer between zones.
- Wrap-Around Release Material: Easy-to-install upper platen release material protects the entire upper platen cooking surface and simplifies cleaning. Improved installation and removal keep hands away from hot surfaces.
