Electric griddle CASTA L7/KTE2BARC

A ribbed fry top concentrates heat along raised ridges, searing food quickly while allowing fat to drain into the channels between. The chrome-plated steel plate absorbs and holds heat evenly, so every section reaches the set temperature and stays there under heavy use. This method gives consistent results across the entire surface, essential for high-volume service where timing and quality must match every order.

The operator starts by switching on the unit and setting the combined switch-thermostat to the desired temperature between 100 °C and 240 °C. Once the plate reaches the set point, food is placed directly on the ribbed surface. Fat and juices run into the channels and are guided by the rounded worktop towards the front drainage hole. A removable drawer beneath collects the grease, keeping the workspace clean without interrupting service. Splash guards on three sides contain any spray, protecting nearby equipment and staff.

Construction is entirely AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish, chosen for corrosion resistance and hygiene. The 15 mm thick chrome-plated steel plate ensures heat retention and even distribution, while the rounded edges of the worktop prevent food debris and bacteria from accumulating. Legs allow the unit to stand on a worktop or be integrated into a kitchen run, adapting to different layouts.

Controls consist of a combined switch-thermostat for temperature selection and a manually reset safety thermostat that cuts power if the plate overheats. Knobs and handles remain cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns during operation.

A 10.8 kW power rating indicates a three-phase 400 V supply, typical for professional kitchens with dedicated circuits. The 800 mm width and 700 mm depth provide ample cooking space without occupying excessive floor area, while the 850 mm height aligns with standard worktop levels for comfortable use.

Daily cleaning involves wiping the chrome-plated plate and stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth, then drying to prevent water marks. The grease collection drawer is removed, emptied and washed separately. Splash guards and the drainage hole are checked for blockages, ensuring fat continues to flow freely. The rounded worktop and absence of sharp corners simplify this process, reducing the time spent on upkeep.
