This offer ends in:
This 728x393mm ribbed electric griddle provides two independently controlled heating zones for simultaneous preparation of multiple menu items. The 4.4kW output handles breakfast service, burger preparation, and catering operations at volumes up to 80 covers per service. Kitchen staff operate zone controls separately to manage different temperature requirements across the cooking surface.
Commercial Application
Each heating zone operates independently, allowing kitchen staff to run high heat for proteins while maintaining lower temperatures for buns or eggs. The ribbed surface channels fat away from food during cooking and directs runoff toward the front grease tray. This configuration suits operations where menu items require different surface temperatures during the same service period.
During breakfast service, one zone handles pancakes or hash browns while the other cooks eggs or bacon. At lunch, the same surface transitions to burgers on high heat and toasted buns on moderate heat. The 728x393mm cooking area accommodates 12-16 burger patties or 18-20 eggs simultaneously, depending on portioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome or steel plate?
A: The cooking surface is thick steel plate with ribbed profile. Steel provides direct heat transfer and withstands metal spatula contact during service. The ribbed pattern channels grease away from food as it cooks.
Q: Does this model use electric power only?
A: Yes, this is an electric-only unit operating at 4.4kW on 230V single-phase supply. No gas connection or conversion option exists for this model. The electrical heating provides consistent temperature control across both zones.
Q: How does the grease collection system work?
A: The ribbed surface channels grease toward the front edge during cooking. A continuous channel along the front collects runoff and directs it into a removable stainless steel tray. The tray slides out for emptying without tools between service periods.
Q: Can this griddle operate in a food truck installation?
A: Yes, provided the vehicle electrical system supplies stable 230V single-phase power at 4.4kW capacity. The 24 kg weight suits countertop mounting with proper securing. Verify electrical capacity and ventilation meet local mobile catering regulations before installation.
Q: How do the two temperature zones operate independently?
A: Each zone has a dedicated heating element and thermostatic control mounted on the front panel. Operators set different temperatures for each zone without affecting the other. This allows simultaneous cooking of items requiring different heat levels on the same surface.
