Electric griddle for ships LOTUS 16060831X

This electric smooth griddle fry top uses embedded elements to heat a solid metal plate uniformly, eliminating hot spots for consistent cooking of items like eggs, pancakes, and small cuts of meat without burning.

The LOTUS FTLT-68ETX features a cooking surface divided into two independent zones, each with its own thermostat. This allows different temperatures to be set simultaneously for tasks such as searing and gentle warming. The front edge of the plate slopes to direct grease into a removable stainless-steel tray, simplifying cleaning and reducing flare-ups.

To operate, place the unit on a level surface, adjust the feet for stability, and secure it in position. Connect to the power supply, then set each zone's control knob to the desired temperature between 50 °C and 300 °C. A safety thermostat prevents overheating by cutting power if the plate exceeds the set temperature. Once heated, ingredients can be cooked directly on the smooth surface without additional oil. After use, the grease tray can be removed, emptied, and wiped clean.

Constructed from 18/10 AISI 304 CrNi stainless steel, the unit offers corrosion resistance and hygiene. The 2.5 mm thick cooking plate ensures durability and even heat distribution, while the Scotch-Brite satin finish minimises glare and conceals minor scratches. Control knobs are IPX5-rated to resist water splashes during cleaning, and adjustable feet allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors.

Each control knob corresponds to one cooking zone, with the left knob controlling the left half of the plate and the right knob the right half. This enables two different heat levels to be used at the same time. A red indicator light shows when the element is heating, turning off once the set temperature is reached.

The unit requires a dedicated 400 V 3-phase circuit. Its 800 × 600 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths, making it easy to integrate into existing kitchen setups. The weight indicates a robust build that remains stable during use.

For daily maintenance, scrape the plate with a metal spatula while warm, wipe with a damp cloth, and empty the grease tray. The tray slides out without tools, and the water-resistant knobs can be rinsed under a tap. Clean the stainless-steel exterior with a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads to protect the satin finish.

This model is a standalone unit in the LOTUS range, designed for professional kitchens under the category of electric fry tops and smooth griddles.
