Electric griddle for ships LOTUS 19060431X

A smooth electric griddle fry top heats a solid metal plate directly with embedded elements, spreading heat evenly across the entire cooking surface. This method gives consistent temperatures without hot spots, allowing food to sear or fry uniformly from edge to edge. The plate absorbs and holds heat, so it recovers quickly when cold ingredients are added, keeping the cooking process steady even during busy service.

The operator switches the unit on, sets the temperature between 50 and 300 °C using the water-resistant control knobs, and waits for the plate to reach the desired heat. Food is placed directly on the smooth surface, cooked, then removed with a spatula. A removable grease tray beneath the front edge collects excess fat and oil, making it easy to empty and clean after each shift.

The griddle plate is 2.5 mm thick 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, chosen for durability and even heat distribution. The body is also stainless steel, and the control panel is rated IPX5 for water resistance. Adjustable legs allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, and a locking mechanism secures it in place once positioned.

A 7.5 kW power rating means the unit requires a dedicated three-phase 400 V circuit, typical for professional kitchen equipment of this size. The 69 kg weight indicates a solid construction that stays stable during use but may need two people to move. The 400 × 900 mm footprint fits a standard 90 cm worktop section, leaving space for side shelves or adjacent appliances.

Cleaning involves scraping the plate while still warm, wiping it down with a cloth, and removing the grease tray to empty and wash it. The satin finish helps hide minor scratches, but abrasive pads should be avoided to preserve the surface. The water-resistant controls can be wiped clean without risk of damage.

The FTLT-94ETX is a smooth griddle fry top with no ridges or raised edges, designed for cooking items that benefit from direct contact with a flat surface, such as burgers, pancakes, eggs, and vegetables. It is listed in the LOTUS catalogue under electric fry tops and griddles.
