AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
- This panini grill does not heat the front of the cooking surface.
- It's so bad that I can't even season the front at all (see picture).
- The max temp in the rear does not go past 450 degrees.
When I first unboxed the Admiral Craft SG-811E/F, it felt like a smart upgrade for my home kitchen setup. The stainless steel construction has that solid, professional and seemed perfect for whipping up paninis, grilled cheeses, or even smash burgers without taking over the counter. It promised NSF-certified durability and even heating from 120°F to 570°F, I figured it would handle family meals or small gatherings effortlessly.
That said, after a couple of months of consistent daily use, I'm about to pull back out my old panini press due to persistent issues that have made it more frustrating than functional.
Uneven heating is the biggest letdown: The front edge of the lower plate (about the first 4-5 inches) stays noticeably cooler than the rest, even after a full 30-40 minute preheat on high. Using an infrared thermometer, I've clocked it at under 200°F while the back pushes toward 450°F max—well short of the advertised 570°F. This means seasoning that front section is impossible (oil just beads up and stays raw; photo attached), and foods like sandwiches won'teven toast over the frontof the plate, leading to inconsistent results and uneven cooking. The upper plate heats up more evenly but also significantly lower than the advertised 570 degrees max, so one side often ends up…

Hi Bruno, thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about the Admiral Craft SG-811E/F panini grill. We're sorry to hear about the significant heating issues you've experienced, particularly with the front section of the cooking surface not reaching proper temperatures and the overall unit falling short of the advertised 570°F maximum. Uneven heating that prevents proper seasoning and consistent cooking is definitely not acceptable performance for a commercial-grade unit, and we understand how frustrating this must be after expecting professional-level results. Your experience with the temperature measurements using an infrared thermometer provides valuable insight into the performance limitations you've encountered. We appreciate you sharing the comparison with your previous unit as well, as this helps other customers understand the real-world performance differences. Thank you for the detailed review and the photo documentation - this kind of specific feedback about heating zones and temperature capabilities helps other customers make more informed decisions about whether this unit will meet their cooking needs.
