Abstract: A heating control system in a roller grill has means for setting a set temperature, at least one temperature sensor mounted in the region of the rollers to measure the temperature of the area surrounding the food being heated on the grill, a temperature display in communication with the temperature sensor that indicates the temperature of the food area, and a control device that monitors the temperature measured in the area of the rollers and food and adjusts the input to heating elements to minimize variation of the measured temperature from the set temperature. Another embodiment of the system includes an offset heating structure in at least one roller to allow a temperature offset between two sides of the roller; and means for adjusting the temperature offset between the two sides of the roller.
