CASTA EASY 700 gas ribbed grill surface for professional kitchens

A gas ribbed grill surface heats a thick steel plate from below with a high-efficiency burner, spreading heat evenly across the cooking area. The ribbed design increases the surface area, allowing food to sear quickly while fats and juices drain away through the grooves. This method gives consistent browning and reduces flare-ups, making it suitable for grilling meats, vegetables and flatbreads without constant turning.

The operator lights the burner with a piezoelectric ignition, adjusts the flame with a control knob, and places food directly on the ribbed plate. A gas safety tap and thermocouple cut the supply if the flame fails, preventing unburned gas from escaping. Temperature can be set anywhere between low simmer and full sear, so the same surface handles delicate items like fish and robust cuts like steaks. Splashguards around the perimeter catch grease and liquids, keeping the surrounding worktop clean.

Excess fat and juices flow into a front-mounted grease drain channel, then collect in a removable drawer for easy disposal. The entire work surface is a single sheet of 15 mm AISI 430 steel with rounded corners, supported by a frame of AISI 304 stainless steel. A flue chimney at the top draws steam away, protecting the kitchen atmosphere and reducing condensation on walls and ceilings.

Control knobs are made from heat-resistant material with a cool-grip finish, so they stay safe to touch even after hours of use. Four sturdy legs raise the unit to bench height, allowing it to stand alone or slot into a run of modular equipment. The 700 mm width matches standard worktop depths, fitting neatly against walls or between other appliances.

The 12 kW power rating means the grill draws a steady load from the gas supply, suitable for continuous service in busy kitchens. The 700x700 mm footprint provides ample cooking space without occupying excessive floor area, while the 275 mm height keeps the work surface at a comfortable level for chefs of average stature.

Cleaning involves scraping the ribbed plate, emptying the fat drawer, and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. The smooth, non-porous materials resist staining and corrosion, so the unit maintains its appearance and hygiene standards over years of use.
