This offer ends in:
The GP5530GW is a single-zone electric griddle with a 2.3kW heating element and a smooth cast iron cooking surface measuring 540×330mm. It operates on 230V single-phase power and reaches temperatures from 50°C to 300°C. Burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens, and catering operations use this unit for flat-top surface cooking across multiple menu items.
Commercial Application
This griddle functions as a primary cooking surface in operations requiring simultaneous preparation of eggs, bacon, burgers, and vegetables. The single heating zone maintains consistent temperature across the cast iron plate. Staff position multiple items on the surface and manage cook times without moving products between separate equipment.
During service, the smooth cast iron surface handles continuous cooking loads without interruption. The 2.3kW element recovers temperature quickly when cold ingredients contact the plate. A compact 540mm width allows installation on countertops or mobile carts where full-size griddles cannot fit.
Key Operational Advantages
- Cast iron cooking surface retains and distributes heat uniformly across 540×330mm area

- Single-phase 230V connection installs without three-phase power requirements
- 18kg weight permits countertop placement or food truck installation without structural reinforcement
- Temperature range 50°C to 300°C covers low-heat warming and high-heat searing

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome-plated steel or cast iron?
A: The cooking surface is cast iron — not chrome-plated steel. Cast iron retains heat longer and withstands metal spatula contact without coating damage. The smooth finish requires seasoning before first use.
Q: Does this model operate on electricity only?
A: Yes. The GP5530GW is electric-only and requires 230V single-phase power. No alternative fuel options exist for this model.
Q: How is grease managed during cooking?
A: The smooth cast iron surface has no built-in grease channel. Operators use a metal scraper to push grease and food debris to the front edge, then collect in an external drip tray. Clean the surface with a griddle brick or scraper between service periods.
Q: Can this griddle install in a food truck?
A: Yes. The 18kg weight and 540mm width suit food truck countertops without floor reinforcement. Verify that the truck's electrical system supplies 230V single-phase power with adequate amperage for the 2.3kW load.
Q: How is temperature controlled across the cooking surface?
A: The single heating zone maintains one temperature across the entire 540×330mm surface. The manual thermostat dial adjusts from 50°C to 300°C. Multi-zone temperature control requires a separate griddle model with multiple heating elements.
