Electric griddle CASTA FTSPS/102EK.BC

A smooth stainless steel grill surface transfers heat evenly across its entire area, allowing chefs to sear, grill or fry without hot spots. Heating elements mounted directly beneath the plate radiate heat upwards, while a thermostat cycles the elements to hold the set temperature. This method gives consistent results whether cooking delicate fish or charring vegetables, and the absence of ridges or grooves keeps the surface easy to clean between services.

The operator slides open the doors, sets the thermostat to the required temperature between 66 °C and 324 °C, and waits for the heating indicator to confirm the plate is ready. Food is placed directly on the smooth surface, turned with a spatula, and removed once done. Any fat or liquid runs to the perimeter splashback and drains through the hole into a removable collection drawer, so the worktop stays clear and the kitchen remains hygienic.

The outer casing and adjustable legs are made of AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining in a busy kitchen. The control knobs use heat-resistant material with Cool-Grip technology, so they stay safe to touch even when the plate is at full temperature. Two indicator lights show power status and whether the elements are heating.

A power rating of 4.4 kW indicates the load the appliance places on the electrical supply; it requires either a single-phase 230 V circuit or a three-phase 400 V circuit, both at 50/60 Hz. The footprint of 1020 × 530 mm fits standard worktop depths and allows side-by-side installation in larger kitchens. The overall height of 850 mm can be fine-tuned with the adjustable legs to align with adjacent equipment or to level the unit on uneven floors.

Cleaning involves removing the fat collection drawer, wiping the smooth surface with a scraper or cloth, and washing the drawer separately. The stainless steel construction resists staining and corrosion, so regular wiping maintains hygiene without specialised products.

The appliance is available in 230 V or 400 V versions, matching the electrical supply of the kitchen.
