Casselin CPASGMLLP Electric Smooth Griddle

A smooth electric griddle transfers heat evenly across a solid steel plate, eliminating hot spots that scorch food. The plate rests directly on electric elements, which warm the metal to the set temperature and hold it steady. This method gives consistent browning and searing without the flare-ups of an open flame, making it suited to delicate items like eggs and fish as well as burgers and steaks. The operator switches the unit on, sets each of the two thermostats to the desired temperature between 140 °C and 300 °C, and allows the plate to pre-heat. Food is placed directly on the smooth 600 x 400 mm surface; no oil is needed for most items, but a light coating prevents sticking. The two grease trays beneath the plate collect drippings as they run off, keeping the worktop clean. A safety thermostat cuts power if the temperature exceeds the set range, protecting the equipment and the food. The griddle is built from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The cooking plate itself is solid steel, which retains and distributes heat evenly across its entire surface. Two adjustable thermostats allow different temperatures to be set on each half of the plate, so one side can sear steaks while the other keeps pancakes warm. The unit measures 620 mm wide, 610 mm deep and 230 mm high, fitting on most worktops without overhang. At 37 kg it is heavy enough to stay stable during use but light enough to be moved by two people when the kitchen is reorganised. Each thermostat controls one half of the plate, letting the operator run two cooking programmes at once. The safety thermostat is automatic and requires no setting. The 3.6 kW power rating means the griddle draws a significant load, so it should be connected to a dedicated circuit to avoid tripping other appliances. The 230 V voltage matches the standard single-phase supply in British commercial kitchens. After service, the solid steel plate is scraped clean while still warm, then wiped with a damp cloth. The two grease trays slide out for emptying and washing. The stainless steel body is wiped down with a mild detergent, avoiding abrasives that could scratch the surface. The heavy-gauge steel plate lifts off the base in one piece, leaving the heating elements and grease trays fully exposed for scrubbing after a busy service. The griddle is supplied as a single unit with no variants or accessories listed.
