Electric griddle for ships LOTUS 18060831X

An electric smooth fry top griddle heats a solid metal plate from below with embedded elements, transferring heat evenly across the surface. This method gives direct, radiant contact cooking without hot spots, letting chefs sear, grill or fry without oil or with minimal fat. The plate's mass holds temperature steadily, so batches cook consistently even when the load changes.

The LOTUS FTLT-78ETX has two separate cooking areas on a single 76×51 cm plate. The operator sets each zone's temperature independently between 50 and 300 °C, then loads food directly onto the smooth surface. A dual thermostat system—one for cooking, one for safety—keeps the temperature within the set range and cuts power if the plate overheats. Adjustable legs level the unit on uneven floors, and a locking mechanism secures it in place during service.

The 2.5 mm thick worktop is made of 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, chosen for durability and even heat distribution. A removable grease tray collects drippings for daily cleaning. IPX5-rated waterproof control knobs allow safe wipe-downs without risk of electrical fault.

The 11.1 kW power rating requires a 400/440 V 3-phase circuit, the standard supply for heavy-duty commercial cooking equipment. The 800×705 mm footprint fits a standard worktop or counter, while the 103 kg weight means the unit must be moved with a trolley or two people. The temperature range from 50 to 300 °C covers everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing.

Daily upkeep involves emptying and washing the grease tray, wiping the plate with a scraper and cloth, and cleaning the control knobs with a damp cloth. The satin finish reduces visible scratches, but the plate should be kept free of burnt-on residue to maintain even heat transfer.

The FTLT-78ETX is a single model with no variants. It is listed in the catalogue under electric fry tops and griddles, commercial cooking equipment, and heavy-duty kitchen appliances.
