This offer ends in:
The FT822 is a dual-surface electric griddle with 4.4kW output, measuring 730×500mm across smooth and ribbed cooking zones. It processes burger patties, bacon rashers, eggs, and grilled vegetables at continuous throughput. Operated in burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens, and food trucks.
Commercial Application
Positioned as a primary cooking surface, this griddle handles multiple menu items simultaneously across two distinct zones. The smooth side accommodates eggs, pancakes, and delicate items; the ribbed side marks steaks, chicken breasts, and vegetables with professional sear lines. Single-phase 230V connection integrates into standard UK kitchen electrical infrastructure.
During peak service, operators manage six to eight items at once by shifting product between temperature zones. A typical breakfast shift processes 120-150 eggs alongside 80-100 bacon rashers. The 4.4kW element maintains recovery speed when cold product hits the surface.

Construction & Build Quality
The cooking surface is commercial-grade steel with thermal conductivity across both zones. The 4.4kW element distributes heat evenly beneath the plate. Grease channel and front-mounted tray collect run-off during bacon and sausage service.
- Steel cooking plate rated for continuous commercial use
- 4.4kW heating element with even heat distribution
- Stainless steel chassis and drip tray
- Rubber feet stabilise the 34kg frame during service

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome-plated or plain steel?
A: The FT822 uses commercial-grade steel plate without chrome coating. Steel provides higher thermal mass and withstands metal spatula contact during continuous service. Season the surface with cooking oil before first use.
Q: How does the grease channel system work during high-volume cooking?
A: A front-mounted channel collects grease and liquid run-off as it flows forward during cooking. The removable drip tray slides out for cleaning between service periods. Empty the tray every two to three hours during bacon or sausage production.
Q: Can this griddle mount in a food truck or mobile catering trailer?
A: Yes. The 34kg weight and 730×500×230mm footprint suit standard food truck counter installations. Secure the unit with L-brackets to prevent movement during transport. Electrical load of 4.4kW at 230V requires appropriately rated supply and circuit protection.
Q: Do the smooth and ribbed zones operate at different temperatures?
A: No. Both zones share a single 4.4kW heating element beneath the plate. Heat distribution is even, but surface geometry affects contact: the ribbed side delivers higher sear intensity due to reduced contact area.
Q: What electrical supply does the FT822 require in UK kitchens?
A: The unit operates on 230V single-phase mains supply standard in UK commercial premises. Draw is 4.4kW, equivalent to approximately 19 amps. Install with appropriate circuit breaker and ensure cable gauge matches load over cable run distance.
