CASTA EASY 700 Electric Smooth Grill Plate with Neutral Cabinet

A smooth grill plate transfers heat evenly across a solid steel surface, eliminating hot spots and allowing food to cook without direct flame or griddle ridges. The thick steel plate absorbs and holds heat, then releases it steadily into meat, fish, vegetables or flatbreads pressed against it. This method gives consistent browning and texture, while the neutral cabinet below keeps cooked items warm without further cooking or drying out.

The operator lowers food onto the preheated plate, where it sizzles and caramelises. Steam and smoke rise into the integrated flue chimney, which draws them away from the work zone. Splashguards around the plate catch grease and juices, directing them into a front channel that drains into a removable fat collection drawer. Once cooking is complete, the operator slides the drawer out, empties it and returns it to the unit.

The grill plate is made from 15 mm AISI 430 stainless steel, chosen for its thermal conductivity and resistance to warping. The surrounding work surface, splashguards, grease channel and cabinet are constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and stands up to daily cleaning. Rounded edges on the worktop prevent food debris from collecting, and the entire unit sits on adjustable stainless-steel legs that level the appliance on uneven floors.

A switch-thermostat on the front panel sets the plate temperature between 100 °C and 270 °C, covering everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing. A separate safety thermostat cuts power if the temperature exceeds the set limit, protecting the appliance and the operator. Handles and control knobs are made from heat-resistant material, so they remain cool enough to touch even after hours of use.

The 10.8 kW power rating indicates the load the appliance places on the electrical supply; it requires a three-phase 400 V circuit capable of delivering that current continuously. The 700x700 mm footprint defines the space the unit occupies on the worktop, while the 850 mm height allows it to fit beneath standard overhead extraction canopies. The 400 V three-phase voltage matches the supply used in most professional kitchens, eliminating the need for a separate transformer or single-phase connection.

Cleaning involves wiping the smooth plate with a scraper or cloth while it is still warm, then removing the fat collection drawer and emptying it. The grease channel and splashguards are wiped down, and the stainless-steel surfaces are sanitised with a food-safe cleaner. The rounded edges and absence of seams reduce places where food particles can lodge, making daily upkeep quicker and more thorough.
