Taylor L850 Crown Series Single Platen Electric Two-Sided Grill
The Taylor L850 can elevate any kitchen, increasing performance and lowering labor costs in a compact, single-platen design—perfect for foodservice operations where hood space is limited but expectations are high. With a 12-inch cook surface and a 2-inch maximum product clearance, it’s built to handle a variety of menu items—from grilled cheese and chicken breast filets to veggie patties and eggs over easy —without slowing down your kitchen.
Backed by programmable menu controls, the L850 ensures that every item cooks exactly to spec—with gap accuracy to within five-thousandths of an inch. That means less monitoring, fewer mistakes, and more consistency across shifts. Its auto gapping feature intelligently compensates for grease or food buildup on the lower surface, so even under heavy use, you’re still delivering the same great results your customers expect.
Whether you’re running an ice cream shop, c-store, ghost kitchen, or stadium concession, the L850 gives you the speed, consistency, and reliability you need to keep your line moving—even in tight spaces.
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. Also offers flexibility for future menu items and product specification changes at the restaurant level.
- Upper Platen – Single platen 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. Restraining cable included.
