CASTA EASY 700 gas smooth-ribbed grill with neutral cabinet

A gas smooth-ribbed grill surface heats food by direct contact with a solid steel plate that is warmed by gas burners beneath. The burners generate an even, radiant heat that spreads across the entire plate, eliminating cold spots and allowing consistent browning and searing. Because the heat comes from below and rises through the metal, the food cooks quickly and retains moisture, while fat and juices drain away through the smooth ribs into a collection system rather than pooling on the surface and steaming the food.

To start the grill, the operator turns the gas safety tap, presses the piezoelectric ignition button, and sets the desired temperature with the control knob. The thermocouple monitors the flame and shuts off the gas if it extinguishes, preventing leaks. Once the plate reaches the set temperature, food is placed directly on the smooth-ribbed surface. The two flame tubes maintain a uniform temperature across the entire grilling area, so every portion cooks at the same rate. Splashguards around the perimeter contain grease and steam, keeping the surrounding worktop clean. A grease drain channel at the front collects excess fat and directs it into a removable drawer for easy disposal.

The work surface and splashguards are made from AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The 15 mm thick grilling plate is AISI 430 steel, which conducts heat efficiently and withstands repeated thermal cycling without warping. Rounded corners on the work surface reduce dirt traps and simplify wiping down after service. An integrated flue chimney at the top, made from acid-resistant material, vents steam and cooking fumes away from the kitchen, reducing humidity and odours.

Control knobs are made from heat-resistant material with “cool-grip” technology, so they remain safe to touch even when the grill is running at full power. The unit is designed for bench mounting and sits on strong legs that prevent wobbling during use. A 12 kW power rating indicates the gas load the grill places on the supply, which determines the size of the gas line and regulator needed in a professional kitchen. The 700 × 700 mm footprint shows the space the grill occupies on the worktop, while the 850 mm height allows it to fit beneath standard overhead extraction canopies.

Cleaning involves emptying the grease drawer, wiping the splashguards and work surface with a damp cloth, and brushing the grilling plate to remove food debris. The smooth-ribbed surface and rounded corners reduce the areas where grease can accumulate, making daily upkeep quicker. The acid-resistant flue chimney requires occasional wiping to prevent grease build-up, and the gas burners should be checked periodically for blockages to maintain even heating.

The EASY 700 E7/FTG2BAMK is a bench-mounted gas smooth-ribbed grill surface with an integrated neutral cabinet beneath, providing additional storage or workspace. It is categorised under professional gas grills in the CASTA catalogue.
