Electric griddle MBM FTBE94TL

An electric fry top transfers heat directly from a thick steel plate to food, creating a consistent cooking surface without open flames. The plate's high thermal mass holds and distributes heat evenly, allowing chefs to sear, grill or sauté at steady temperatures across the entire area. This method gives precise control over browning and texture, essential for dishes that require uniform contact with the heat source.

The DOMINA PRO 900 is built as a single, wide cooking plate with rounded front corners. The operator places ingredients directly onto the smooth steel surface, adjusting heat zones as needed. Grease and residues collect in a removable stainless steel basin beneath the plate, which can be lifted out for emptying and cleaning. When fitted, the optional Teflon cap snaps off easily, exposing the steel plate for thorough scrubbing or allowing grease to drain straight into the basin.

The 15 mm steel plate is finished in either polished or solid chrome, chosen for durability and resistance to warping under constant use. A 7 kW power rating draws a substantial load on a three-phase 400 V circuit, matching the demands of busy service periods. The unit's 62 kg weight requires a sturdy worktop or stand, while its 400 mm depth and 900 mm width fit standard kitchen lines without overhang. Independent heating elements in 70 cm models allow separate temperature settings across the plate, letting one side handle delicate items while the other reaches higher heat for searing.

Controls are integrated into the front panel, allowing the operator to set and monitor each zone's temperature. The 2.5 litre grease basin collects drippings during service, reducing flare-ups and simplifying end-of-shift cleaning. After use, the basin is removed, emptied and washed, while the steel plate or Teflon cap is scrubbed with non-abrasive pads to preserve the finish. The smooth steel surface resists pitting, but regular polishing maintains its appearance and prevents food from sticking.

The DOMINA PRO 900 is categorised under professional fry tops in the MBM range, designed for commercial kitchens that require a broad, flat cooking area with direct heat transfer.
