Electric griddle CASTA P7/KTE2BBLK

A smooth electric griddle heats a solid steel plate electrically to create a consistent cooking surface across its entire area. The plate absorbs and spreads the heat evenly, eliminating hot spots so that every part of the food cooks at the same rate. This method suits delicate items that must not scorch and large batches that need uniform results without constant turning or shifting.

The operator places food directly onto the preheated plate, sets the temperature with the switch-thermostat, and monitors cooking progress. Splashguards at the sides and rear contain grease and liquids, directing them into a front grease channel that drains into a removable collection drawer. A rear flue chimney draws steam and heat away from the work area, keeping the kitchen cooler and more comfortable during long service periods.

The worktop and splashguards are constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and ease of sanitising. The cooking surface is a 15 mm thick mild steel plate that retains and distributes heat evenly. Four sturdy legs raise the unit to a comfortable working height, while cool-grip handles and knobs made of heat-resistant material allow safe adjustment and handling.

A 10.8 kW power rating indicates the load the griddle places on the electrical supply; it requires a dedicated circuit capable of handling that demand without tripping. The temperature range of 100 °C to 240 °C covers everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing, allowing the same appliance to handle breakfast items, grilled meats and vegetables. The footprint of 800 mm by 700 mm fits neatly on most worktops, making it suitable for kitchens where space is limited.

Cleaning involves scraping the plate while still warm, emptying the grease drawer, wiping down the splashguards and worktop with a sanitising solution, and ensuring the rear flue chimney remains unobstructed. The smooth surfaces and rounded corners simplify daily upkeep.

The griddle is designed for countertop installation and is supplied with legs for immediate use.
