The Star PST14I Pro-Max 2.0® panini press is a premium countertop cooking solution designed for commercial kitchens that demand durability, performance, and ease of cleaning. Its smooth cast iron plates ensure even heat distribution while preventing grill marks, making it perfect for sandwiches, melts, and other panini applications. With a 3-inch opening, it accommodates thick products without compromise, while the reinforced spring-hinge system resists bending and breaking, even during high-volume operations. This model is part of the Pro-Max 2.0 series, known for its robustness and efficiency. Commercial chefs will appreciate the analog thermostat for precise temperature control (175–550°F), the oil and water-resistant conduit for electrical safety, and the stainless steel body that resists rust while being easy to clean. The 3-inch legs elevate the press to prevent overheating, and the 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor, plus an additional year on cast iron components, provides long-term confidence. Whether for a bustling café, sandwich shop, or high-end restaurant, this panini press delivers professional results with minimal maintenance. Its compact yet sturdy design makes it ideal for countertop spaces, ensuring it fits seamlessly into any commercial kitchen setup.
