Gas griddle CASTA P7/KTG2BBRK

A ribbed gas griddle transfers heat directly from gas burners to a thick steel plate, creating distinct searing zones across its surface. The ridges concentrate heat, producing pronounced grill marks on meats, fish and vegetables while allowing fat and juices to drain away. This method gives food the charred texture and smoky flavour of an open flame without the need for charcoal or wood, making it a staple in professional kitchens where speed and consistency matter.

The operator lights the burners with piezoelectric ignition, then sets the flame to the desired intensity using the temperature adjustment knob. Food is placed directly onto the ribbed plate, where the two flame tubes beneath distribute heat evenly across the 400 mm cooking area. A grease collection channel at the front catches drippings, directing them into a removable drawer for quick disposal. Height-adjustable legs allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors or matched to existing worktop heights.

Built entirely from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel with a scotch brite finish, the griddle resists corrosion and staining while remaining easy to wipe down. The 15 mm thick steel base plate retains heat and resists warping under continuous use. A rear flue chimney vents combustion gases, and an acid-resistant black enamel cast iron grate protects the chimney from grease and moisture.

Controls include a gas safety valve that shuts off the supply if the flame fails, a thermocouple for continuous monitoring, and a knob that adjusts the flame from minimum to maximum. The 12 kW power rating indicates the load on the gas supply, requiring a dedicated line capable of delivering the necessary pressure and volume for sustained high-output cooking.

Daily cleaning involves scraping the ribbed plate, emptying the grease drawer, and wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. The scotch brite finish reduces the need for abrasive cleaners, preserving the appearance and hygiene of the unit. The 800 mm width and 700 mm depth determine the footprint on the worktop, while the 305 mm height, excluding legs, allows it to fit beneath standard extractor canopies.

This model is certified to professional safety standards, ensuring compliance with commercial kitchen regulations.
