CASTA EASY 700 ribbed-smooth grill with neutral cabinet E7/KTE2BAMK

A ribbed-smooth grill combines two cooking surfaces in one appliance: one side with ridges to sear meat and create grill marks, the other smooth to cook delicate items evenly without sticking. The electric element beneath the plate heats the steel directly, transferring energy without flame or combustion gases. This method gives instant response to temperature changes and keeps the kitchen cooler than gas alternatives. The neutral cabinet below provides dry, ambient storage for plates, tools or ingredients, keeping them within arm's reach during service.

The operator lowers food onto the heated plate, using the ribbed side for steaks and burgers and the smooth side for fish, eggs or pancakes. A switch-thermostat sets the temperature between 100 °C and 270 °C, allowing everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing. Splashguards around the perimeter contain grease and steam, while a front channel collects fat and directs it into a removable drawer. The integrated flue chimney draws heat and moisture away from the worktop, reducing condensation on nearby cupboards and hobs.

The grill plate is 15 mm thick AISI 430 steel, chosen for its balance of heat retention and rapid recovery. The work surface, splashguards and cabinet are AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded edges to prevent trapped food and speed cleaning. Handles and knobs are heat-resistant, remaining cool enough to touch even after hours of use. Adjustable stainless steel legs let the unit sit level on uneven floors and set the worktop height to match adjacent equipment.

A 10.8 kW power rating means the grill draws a substantial load, requiring a dedicated three-phase 400 V circuit. This is typical for professional appliances that must reach and hold high temperatures quickly. The 800 mm width fits standard worktop runs, while the 700 mm depth leaves room for rear clearance without overhanging walkways. The 850 mm height places the cooking surface at a comfortable working level for most chefs.

Cleaning starts with scraping the plate while still warm, then wiping with a damp cloth once cooled. The grease channel and drawer are removed and emptied, and the stainless steel surfaces are washed with mild detergent. The fat collection system reduces the need for deep cleaning of the cabinet interior, but the neutral compartment should be wiped weekly to prevent dust build-up.

The EASY 700 E7/KTE2BAMK is a single model with no variants. It is categorised under electric grills with neutral cabinets in the CASTA professional range.
