Electric griddle CASTA L7/KTE2BBLC

A smooth grill surface transfers heat evenly across a solid, unbroken plate, eliminating hot spots and allowing precise control over cooking. The thick chrome-plated steel plate absorbs and holds heat, radiating it steadily into food without the flare-ups or uneven searing of open flames. This method is especially effective for delicate items like fish, vegetables and thin cuts of meat that benefit from consistent contact with a flat, heated surface rather than direct flame or hot air. The absence of grates or ridges also simplifies cleaning and reduces the risk of food sticking, making it a practical choice for high-volume service where speed and hygiene are critical.

To use the grill, the operator first ensures the unit is connected to a 400 V three-phase supply. The combined switch-thermostat is turned to the desired setting between 100 °C and 240 °C, and the plate is allowed to reach temperature. Food is placed directly onto the smooth chrome surface, where it cooks through direct conduction. Splash guards on three sides contain grease and steam, while a front drainage hole channels excess fat into a removable collection drawer beneath the unit. Once cooking is complete, the drawer is emptied and the plate is wiped down with a scraper or cloth, leaving the surface ready for the next service.

The entire unit is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitisation. The 15 mm thick chrome-plated steel plate provides a durable, non-stick cooking surface that distributes heat evenly across its 800 mm by 700 mm area. Stainless steel splash guards and a front grease drainage system keep the surrounding worktop clean, while heat-resistant control knobs and handles remain cool to the touch during operation. A manually reset safety thermostat cuts power if the plate overheats, protecting both the equipment and the user.

The 10.8 kW power rating indicates the load the grill places on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated three-phase circuit capable of handling the demand without tripping breakers. The 400 V three-phase voltage is standard in professional kitchens, allowing the unit to draw the current needed for rapid heat-up and sustained high temperatures. The 800x700x275 mm footprint fits neatly onto most worktops or can be integrated into a larger kitchen line-up, while the stainless steel construction and rounded edges simplify daily cleaning and reduce the risk of bacteria build-up.

Maintenance is straightforward: the chrome plate is scraped and wiped after each service, the grease drawer is emptied and rinsed, and the splash guards are cleaned to prevent fat accumulation. The Scotch Brite finish on the stainless steel body resists fingerprints and smudges, reducing the need for frequent polishing. The removable fat collection drawer and drainage hole ensure that grease is contained and disposed of safely, minimising fire risk and maintaining a hygienic workspace.

The LADY 700 L7/KTE2BBLC is designed for placement on a worktop or integration into a professional kitchen system, with adjustable legs allowing it to align with other equipment. Its smooth chrome surface and precise temperature control make it suitable for a wide range of grilling tasks, from searing steaks to cooking pancakes, without the need for additional tools or accessories.
