This offer ends in:
The FT822 is a dual-surface electric griddle supplying 4.4kW across a 730×500mm cooking area. It handles simultaneous preparation of pancakes, eggs, burgers, bacon and vegetables at independent temperature zones. Burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens and catering operations use this unit for high-volume throughput during peak service.
Commercial Application
Positioned as a primary cooking surface in front-line kitchens, the FT822 replaces multiple single-task appliances. The smooth and ribbed zones allow operators to sear protein on one side while finishing eggs or warming tortillas on the other. This eliminates queue bottlenecks when preparing mixed orders.
During breakfast service, one operator manages twenty portions across both surfaces without repositioning equipment. The 4.4kW output recovers temperature quickly after cold food contact. Grease channels direct runoff into removable trays, maintaining consistent contact heating throughout extended shifts.

Construction & Build Quality
The cooking surfaces are fabricated from heavy-gauge steel with chrome plating on high-contact zones. Stainless steel exterior panels resist corrosion in high-humidity environments. The thermostat housings are sealed against grease ingress, and heating elements are shielded beneath welded steel plates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the FT822 use chrome or steel cooking surfaces?
A: The cooking surfaces are heavy-gauge steel with chrome plating on the smooth zone. The ribbed zone uses untreated steel for better searing grip. Both surfaces conduct heat uniformly across the 730×500mm area.
Q: How are grease and runoff managed during service?
A: Integrated channels slope toward the front collection trays. Operators remove trays without lifting the unit. The channel welds eliminate seams where residue accumulates.
Q: Can this griddle be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes. The 34 kg weight and 230×500×730mm footprint fit standard mobile kitchen configurations. Secure the unit to counter framework and connect to a 230V single-phase supply with appropriate circuit protection.
Q: Are the smooth and ribbed zones controlled separately?
A: Each zone has an independent thermostat. Operators set different temperatures for simultaneous tasks—searing burgers at high heat while warming flatbreads at lower settings. Adjustments take effect within ninety seconds.
Q: What cleaning procedure maintains surface performance?
A: Scrape surfaces while warm using a stainless steel spatula. Wipe with degreaser after each service period. Remove and wash collection trays daily to prevent grease carbonisation in channels.
