This offer ends in:
The FT822 is a dual-surface electric griddle with 728×400mm cooking area split between smooth and ribbed zones. It processes burgers, bacon, eggs, vegetables, and panini simultaneously at temperatures up to 300°C using 4.4kW single-phase power. Operators in breakfast cafés, burger restaurants, and hotel kitchens use it as a primary flat-top cooking surface during high-volume service.
Commercial Application
This griddle handles multiple menu items at once without dedicating separate appliances to each task. The smooth side cooks eggs and pancakes while the ribbed side marks burgers or chicken. A single operator controls both zones from one position during breakfast or lunch rushes.
During service, the unit maintains 300°C across both surfaces with independent temperature control per zone. The 728×400mm cooking area accommodates sixteen 4oz burger patties or thirty-six eggs simultaneously. A front-mounted grease channel collects runoff into a removable stainless steel drip tray during continuous operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome-plated or plain steel?
A: The FT822 uses 10mm polished mild steel plate, not chrome. Mild steel retains heat better than chrome and develops a seasoned non-stick surface with use. Season the surface with cooking oil before first use.
Q: Does this model operate on mains electric only?
A: Yes. The FT822 is electric-only, requiring 230V single-phase supply at 4.4kW load. No alternative fuel version exists for this model.
Q: How is grease removed during service?
A: The front grease channel slopes toward a removable stainless steel drip tray with handle. Operators slide out the tray during service to empty, then reinsert without shutting down the griddle.
Q: Can this griddle be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes, if the truck supplies 230V at 4.4kW capacity. The 34kg weight and 730mm width fit most commercial food truck counters. Secure the unit with bolted brackets due to vehicle movement.
Q: Are the smooth and ribbed zones controlled separately?
A: Yes. Two independent dial controls allow different temperatures per zone. One zone can hold at 150°C for keeping food warm while the other operates at 300°C for searing.
