Model L858 Crown Series Three Platen Electric Double-Sided Grill
The Taylor L858 grill is built for high-output kitchens that need to keep multiple menu items moving—without sacrificing consistency, flavor, or control. Designed to cook up to two-thirds faster than traditional methods, the L858 handles everything from burgers and grilled chicken to steak, seafood, and quesadillas with speed and precision. Programmable controls make it easy to adapt to changing menus or dayparts without disrupting your workflow.
With three, 12-inch independent cook surfaces, the L858 offers maximum flexibility for managing high-volume production across proteins, carbs, and special dietary needs. Each surface features its own dedicated grease cans, eliminating flavor transfer and crossover —all while simplifying cleanup. Paired with three-point platen contact, the grill delivers unmatched consistency across every press—reducing send-backs and keeping your kitchen running smoothly. When the pace slows, standby mode helps conserve energy while staying ready for the next rush.
Looking for capacity, control, and performance you can count on? The L858 delivers—plate after plate, shift after shift.
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 Platens – Three 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.
- Two dedicated electrical connections required. Manufactured to be permanently connected. See the electrical chart for the proper electrical requirements.
