Casselin Griddle Toaster 520 for Professional Kitchens

A griddle toaster combines a flat steel cooking surface with a separate toasting element, letting a single appliance sear burgers, melt cheese and crisp bread at the same time. The solid steel plate heats evenly across its width, transferring heat directly into the food without hot spots, while the toaster element radiates heat from above to brown and toast without flipping. Two independent circuits allow each zone to reach its set temperature quickly and hold it, so one side can run at a lower setting for delicate items while the other side stays hotter for rapid searing.

The operator places food directly on the griddle plate or in the toaster slot, sets the thermostat for each zone, and presses the On/Off button. Two heat indicators light when the circuits are active. A fat collecting pan beneath the griddle catches drippings, keeping the worktop clean. When cooking is complete, the operator turns the appliance off and removes the food.

The unit is built from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The cooking plate measures 515 mm by 340 mm, giving a broad surface for multiple items. An adjustable thermostat with eight levels lets the operator choose temperatures between 140 °C and 300 °C, covering everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing. Two safety thermostats prevent overheating.

A 3.6 kW power rating means the appliance draws a steady load that requires its own dedicated circuit in a professional kitchen. The 230 V supply matches standard UK single-phase outlets. The 29 kg weight keeps the unit stable on a worktop without needing permanent fixing, yet it is light enough to move with two people or a trolley. The footprint of 519 mm by 592 mm fits on most worktops, leaving space for food preparation alongside.

After use, the operator removes the fat collecting pan and washes it separately. The solid steel plate and stainless steel surfaces wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The adjustable thermostat and safety thermostats need no routine maintenance beyond checking that the controls move freely.

The Griddle Toaster 520 is listed in the Casselin countertop cooking range.
