A commercial sandwich press is a kitchen appliance used to prepare toasted sandwiches. It works by using heated plates to evenly toast the bread while simultaneously compressing the sandwich.

There is no difference between a sandwich maker and a sandwich press – they are simply different names for the same appliance, also known as a Panini Press or Jaffle Maker. Both terms refer to a device used to grill and toast sandwiches, paninis, and other food items.In a commercial setting, sandwich presses or sandwich makers are designed to be more durable, handle higher volumes, and offer more power and consistency than their domestic counterparts. They are an essential appliance for cafes, restaurants, and takeaways, providing a fast and efficient way to prepare delicious toasted sandwiches and other grilled dishes.

The ideal temperature for a commercial sandwich press varies based on the type of sandwich and the bread being used. In general, a temperature range of 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended.
