Electric DROP-IN grills DROP-IN for ships offer a built-in grilling solution specifically designed for marine conditions. The stationary DROP-IN installation ensures the hot grill surface remains fixed in the worktop, significantly enhancing workplace safety and integrating kitchen equipment into the ship’s galley block.
Types of electric DROP-IN grills for ships
Professional electric DROP-IN grills for ships are available in various types and sizes. Grooved grill surfaces DROP-IN — with pronounced grill ridges that create characteristic grill marks on meat, fish and vegetables; the most popular type in marine galleys. Flat cooking surfaces DROP-IN — a smooth, flat surface without ridges for easier cleaning and a wider range of product preparation. Combined DROP-IN grill — half with grooved ridges, half with a smooth surface in one built-in unit. Double-sided grilling DROP-IN equipment (contact grill type) — with a grill surface both below and above for fast, two-sided product preparation. Also explore electric grill plates for ships.
Marine technical parameters
Marine versions of electric DROP-IN grills feature special technical parameters for safe operation in sea conditions. AISI 316 stainless steel — for both the grill surface frame and the built-in grease drainage system. Integrated grease drainage — a closed grease drainage system that prevents oily liquid from spilling onto the ship’s floor; a mandatory safety element for marine grills. Reinforced fixation in the worktop — an edge profile system that securely holds the DROP-IN unit in the worktop cut-out even during rough seas. Cast iron or AISI 316 grill surface — cast iron provides better heat retention and more distinctive grill marks; AISI 316 is easier to clean in a marine environment. Electrical power — 3–6 kW depending on the grill surface size. Also explore DROP-IN pasta cookers DROP-IN for ships.
Grease drainage and cleaning for DROP-IN grills
The built-in grease drainage system of a DROP-IN grill is essential for galley hygiene and fire safety on ships. Closed grease collection system — a grease collector integrated beneath the grill surface, from which grease is directed to a closed container or drain. Oily liquid container — a removable or emptyable container where grilling grease and fat collect; must be emptied regularly. Cleaning — the DROP-IN grill surface can be cleaned with a special grill scraper while still hot; AISI 316 is easier to clean than cast iron; water use should be limited with cast iron surfaces. Fire safety — grease in an uncleaned state poses a fire risk; regular grill cleaning is an important marine safety routine. Also explore electric fryers DROP-IN for ships.
HoReCa usage scenarios
Cargo vessel with crew — a DROP-IN grill built into the galley worktop for convenient and safe grilling of meat and fish for crew meals; stable integration eliminates the hazardous risk of movement. Passenger ferry with à la carte restaurant — a DROP-IN grill in the restaurant’s galley block for preparing grilled meat and seafood to passenger orders. Yacht with premium cuisine — an elegant DROP-IN grill in the yacht’s galley block for preparing premium grilled dishes for high-end passengers.
Frequently asked questions
Is a DROP-IN grill safer than a freestanding grill on a ship? Yes — the stationary installation prevents the unit from shifting with its hot surface during rough seas. Contact BHS.
