Electric griddle CASTA P7/FTE2BBMK

The CASTA electric ribbed-smooth griddle, article P7/FTE2BBMK, offers a cooking surface for professional kitchens. This appliance combines both ribbed and smooth cooking zones, allowing for a variety of food preparations.

Operating Principle:

This type of griddle heats food directly on its surface. Electric elements beneath the cooking plate generate heat, which is then transferred to the food placed upon it. The ribbed section provides searing marks and allows fat to drain away, while the smooth section is suitable for searing, frying, and cooking delicate items.

Construction and Features:

The cooking surface is constructed from a 15 mm thick smooth mild steel plate, integrated with AISI 304 stainless steel for the ribbed sections. Stainless steel splashguards are fitted to protect the surrounding area from cooking splatter. A front grease channel, complete with a drainage hole and a collection drawer, manages excess fat during cooking. For safety and ease of use, the unit features cool-grip handles and knobs made from heat-resistant material. A rear-mounted flue is incorporated to extract steam and heat away from the cooking area. The griddle is designed for countertop installation and includes sturdy legs for stability.

Controls:

Temperature is regulated by a switch-thermostat that can be adjusted across a range of 100 °C to 240 °C. A manual reset safety thermostat is included to prevent overheating.

Specifications Explained:

The power rating of 10.8 kW indicates the electrical load the unit will place on the kitchen's supply. The dimensions of 700 mm in length, 700 mm in width, and 305 mm in height specify the footprint and physical space required for installation.

Cleaning and Upkeep:

Maintenance involves cleaning the cooking surface and emptying the grease collection drawer. The splashguards and channel should also be cleaned regularly.
