3-INCH ‘FLAT LANDING’ OPENING
for LARGE SANDWICHES
(
on PST models only
)
Perfect contact fr
ont-to-back for optimal heating
Prevents contents from being squeezed out
ALUMINUM and CAST IRON WILL PERFORM DIFFERENTLY
Aluminum will distribute heat more evenly, but lose heat
faster and require more cycling
Cast Iron requires more power to heat (due to higher density),
but can retain temperature better for faster recovery
in appropriate applications
Both materials clean about the same, and though all iron
products can rust, simple oiling and seasoning will prevent
this in all cases

GROOVED vs. SMOOTH
A menu decision based on the look and feel of the finished product
‘Panini’ sandwiches are marked with grooves, by definition
Less surface contact from grooves may increase cook
times of certain products
Alternative:
Smooth Bottom, Grooved Top
–
the best of both worlds!

CLEANING TIPS
USEFUL FACTS
Cast Iron weighs 3-TIMES as much as
Aluminum
Aluminum transfers heat 5-TIMES faster
than Cast Iron
Plat
en weight on your food product
is
CONSTANT, regardless of the
material
you choose, thanks to Star's
unique
Torsion Spring Hinge design.
Aluminum and Cast Iron surfaces are porous. Carbon and
oils can penetrate and discolor the surface while creating
unwanted carbon and grease accumulation.
Cleaning your sandwich grill effectively requires soapy
water, a brush, and an abrasive pad.
When just soapy water isn't doing
the trick, you can use commercial
high-temperature grill cleaner.
Grill cleaner is effective,
especially when dealing
with heavy accumulation.
Flexible - split top option is great
for varied menus and high volume
applications
