Electric griddle CASTA E7/FTE2BBLK

A smooth grill surface transfers heat evenly across a solid steel plate, eliminating hot spots and allowing consistent searing, grilling or frying without the need for open flames or grates. The thick metal plate absorbs and holds heat, then releases it steadily into the food, producing uniform browning and texture across the entire cooking area. Because there are no gaps, small or delicate items such as fish fillets, pancakes and eggs cook without falling through, while the absence of ridges makes the surface easier to clean between services.

The operator places the appliance on a stable worktop, adjusts the stainless-steel legs to the desired height and connects the three-phase 400 V supply. The switch-thermostat is set to the required temperature between 100 °C and 270 °C; once the plate reaches the set point, food is placed directly on the smooth surface. Steam and heat rise into the integrated flue chimney, which draws them away from the cooking zone. Any fat or juices run down the sloped plate into the front grease channel and collect in the removable drawer, reducing flare-ups and simplifying post-service cleaning.

The 700 mm by 700 mm cooking plate is made from 15 mm thick AISI 430 stainless steel, chosen for its thermal conductivity and resistance to warping. The surrounding splashguards and work surface are fabricated from AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded edges, meeting commercial hygiene standards. A safety thermostat prevents overheating, while heat-resistant handles and knobs allow safe adjustment during operation.

The 10.8 kW power rating indicates a three-phase load suitable for a dedicated commercial circuit. The 400 V three-phase supply delivers the current required for rapid heat-up and sustained high-temperature cooking. The 700 mm width and depth provide a generous single cooking area without occupying excessive floor space, while the 275 mm height allows comfortable use when placed on a standard worktop or counter.

After service, the grease drawer is removed and emptied. The smooth plate and splashguards are wiped down with a damp cloth; the rounded edges and absence of crevices prevent food debris from becoming trapped. The stainless-steel construction resists corrosion and staining, so regular cleaning maintains the appliance's appearance and hygiene.

This model is part of the CASTA EASY 700 range of professional catering equipment.
