Electric griddle MBM MFTE74TL

A smooth-surface electric grill transfers heat directly from a flat, solid plate to food without open flames or grates. Armoured stainless-steel heating elements beneath the plate warm the metal evenly, while a thermostat maintains the set temperature across the entire cooking area. This method gives consistent browning and searing without hot spots, making it suitable for items that need uniform contact—burgers, steaks, panini, or vegetables that must not fall through a grid.

The operator places food directly on the preheated plate, adjusts the thermostat to the desired setting, and monitors cooking progress. A slight tilt in the 15 mm-thick plate channels grease and juices towards the front, where they collect in a removable stainless-steel basin with a two-litre capacity. Once cooking is complete, the basin is lifted out, emptied, and cleaned separately.

Construction is entirely in AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel. The cooking plate measures 15 mm thick, the main body 1 mm, and the backsplash 3 mm, all welded together for rigidity. The backsplash rises from the rear edge of the plate to protect the wall and simplify cleaning.

Controls consist of a single thermostatic dial that regulates the temperature of the heating elements. The dial is calibrated in degrees Celsius, allowing precise selection for different foods.

The 4 kW power rating indicates a three-phase, 400 V supply is required, matching the standard circuit used in professional kitchens for heavy-duty appliances. The 43 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people, while the 400 mm depth, 714 mm width and 250 mm height fit on most worktops or counter-mounted stands.

Cleaning involves scraping the plate while still warm, wiping it down with a damp cloth, and removing the grease basin for thorough washing. The welded backsplash prevents debris from lodging behind the unit, and the smooth surfaces of the plate and basin reduce sticking.
