Model L852 Crown Series Two Platen Electric Double-Sided Grill
Double the cooking power in half the space of traditional flat grills and char-broilers, the Taylor L852, 24-inch Crown Series model is perfect for foodservice operations that need to push out more volume without expanding their footprint. Whether you’re serving ribeyes, grilled chicken, or quesadillas, the L852 will keep ticket times in check—without compromising on consistency and flavor.
The Taylor L852’s cook surfaces operate independently from one another and are completely separated by individual grease cans, maintaining clear separation and making cross-contamination a thing of the past —ideal for kitchens managing plant-based items, chicken, seafood and beef on the same line. Its automated design delivers consistent results during peak hours and smooth transitions between dayparts, keeping service fast and food quality high. The L852 is an ideal fit for fast-casual restaurants, hotel kitchens, university dining, and grocery store foodservice programs that need speed, flexibility, and reliability in a compact footprint.
Features
- One touch menu selection automatically provides accurate TIME, TEMPERATURE, and GAP settings for every product.
- True Parallel Auto Leveling – Automated procedure sets the lower plate parallel to the upper platen. Increases food quality through consistently accurate gap settings.
- Programmable Controls – Automatically determines product placed on the grill and sets cook time and multi-gap parameters. Easier to operate and eliminates the need to change product settings, which improves flexibility. Microprocessor controls are programmable for simplified crew operation.
- Upper Platen – Two platens may be lowered manually for quick closing or will close automatically to the preset gap setting with the touch of one button. Slim platen design makes cleaning easier. As a safety feature, platen will automatically open at loss of power, or if an obstruction is detected.
- Precise Automatic Gapping – Solid platform with 3-point reference plane and fixed (home) reference point. Once programmed, the upper platen automatically achieves accurate and consistent gaps, every time. Precise, repeatable gapping ensures product safety and better quality finished product.
- Cooking Zone – Two controlled cooking positions. Three independent heating elements in the lower cooking surface, and two in the upper platen, assures even temperatures and quick recovery. A larger cooking gap allows products up to 2.0” thick to be cooked in two-sided mode, enabling greater menu flexibility.
- Wrap Around Release Material – Simple-to-install upper platen release material protects the entire upper platen cooking surface and makes cleaning easy. Improved installation and removal keep hands away from hot surfaces.
- Independent Platen Cooking Zones – Separate lower cook zones allow the user to turn them off during the slow periods to save energy and provide a flexible cleaning schedule by cleaning a zone at a time instead of the entire grill. Each zone allows you to cook different menu items at different temperatures all day. There is no flavor or food transfer from zone to zone due to separation of independent cook zones.
- One dedicated electrical connection required. Manufactured to be permanently connected. See the electrical chart for the proper electrical requirements.
