Electric griddle CASTA L7/FTE2BBLC

A smooth grill surface transfers heat directly from a thick, chrome-plated steel plate to food without ridges or grooves, creating an even sear across the entire cooking area. The plate's mass holds heat steadily, so it recovers quickly between batches and maintains consistent temperatures during peak service. This method suits delicate items that could stick or tear on a ribbed grill, and it allows precise control over doneness from edge to edge.

The operator places the food directly on the preheated plate, adjusts the thermostat to the desired temperature between 100 °C and 240 °C, and monitors cooking. Splash guards on three sides contain grease and steam, while a front drainage hole channels excess fat into a removable collection drawer. Once cooking is complete, the drawer is emptied and the plate is wiped down while still warm, reducing scrubbing time.

The entire unit is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish, chosen for corrosion resistance and ease of daily cleaning. The work surface is rounded at the edges to eliminate sharp corners where debris could collect. A 15 mm thick chrome-plated and hardened steel plate forms the cooking surface, ensuring even heat distribution and durability under continuous use. Stainless steel splash guards and a front grease drainage system keep the surrounding worktop clean throughout service.

A combined switch-thermostat provides precise temperature control, while a manually reset safety thermostat cuts power if the plate overheats. Control knobs and handles are made from heat-resistant material, remaining cool to the touch during operation.

The grill is fitted with adjustable legs, allowing it to stand on a work surface or integrate into a larger kitchen system. Its 700 mm by 700 mm footprint provides ample cooking space without occupying excessive counter area, while the 10.8 kW power rating requires a three-phase 400 V supply, typical of professional catering circuits.

Cleaning involves wiping the chrome plate with a soft cloth while warm, emptying and washing the grease drawer, and rinsing the splash guards and rounded surfaces. The stainless steel construction resists staining and corrosion, reducing the need for harsh chemicals.

The LADY 700 is designed as a standalone unit for grilling, searing and finishing dishes in professional kitchens.
