Why the Eco El Bandido is the tactical upgrade for AU cafes:
Because traditional panini presses are slow and standard speed ovens cannot apply physical pressure for grill marks, the TurboChef Eco El Bandido integrates a panini press mechanism with patented Top-launched microwave stirrer technology. By using impingement air and microwave simultaneously with anodised aluminium griddle plates, it delivers high-quality pressed sandwiches in a fraction of the time. This logic allows busy cafes and takeaway outlets to optimize counter space by replacing two appliances with one ventless 15A unit.
Proven panini and rapid-cook cycles for high-volume menus:
Panini Sandwich (Pressed):
60 - 90 sec
Breakfast Sandwich:
60 sec
Quesadilla:
60 sec
Flatbread / Pizza:
1 min 30 sec

Yes. It functions perfectly as a versatile oven for non-pressed foods. The panini press mechanism is an additional tool that doesn't restrict standard rapid cooking.
While sharing the same footprint, the Bandido is specifically optimized for toasted sandwich programs. If you don't need grill marks, the standard TurboChef Eco is your alternative.
