CASTA Electric Ribbed Grill Surface LADY 700 L7/FTG2BAMC

A ribbed fry top grill heats a thick steel plate electrically, creating distinct hot and cooler zones that sear meats, fish or vegetables while allowing fat and juices to drain away. The ridges concentrate heat where they touch the food, producing the characteristic grill marks and smoky flavour without an open flame. A large, flat cooking surface with raised ribs gives the operator control over browning and texture, essential for high-volume service where speed and consistency matter.

The operator places the food directly onto the preheated chrome-plated plate, adjusting the temperature with a combined switch-thermostat to suit each item. The ridges channel fat and juices into the front drainage system, where a removable drawer collects them, keeping the work surface clean and reducing flare-ups. Splash guards on three sides contain grease and steam, protecting the surrounding area. Once cooking is complete, the food is lifted from the plate, and the next batch can be loaded immediately, as the thick steel retains heat and recovers temperature quickly.

The entire unit is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish, chosen for its corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The rounded work surface eliminates sharp corners where food debris could accumulate, supporting hygiene standards in a busy kitchen. The 15 mm chrome-plated and hardened steel cooking plate distributes heat evenly across its surface, preventing hot spots and ensuring consistent results even during peak service.

Controls consist of a combined switch-thermostat that sets the temperature between 100 °C and 240 °C, and a manually reset safety thermostat that cuts power if the plate overheats. Knobs and handles are made from heat-resistant material, remaining cool to the touch during operation for added safety.

The 5.4 kW power rating indicates a three-phase electrical load, requiring a dedicated 400 V circuit commonly found in professional kitchens. The 400x700x275 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths, while the legs allow the unit to stand alone or be integrated into a larger kitchen system. The weight of the unit, combined with its compact dimensions, makes it stable on a work surface without needing permanent installation.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, while the chrome-plated plate can be scraped and polished to maintain its shine. The removable grease drawer empties easily, and the drainage hole can be cleared of any residue. The rounded edges and smooth finishes reduce the time needed for daily upkeep, allowing the grill to return to service quickly.

This model is designed for placement on a work surface or integration into a professional kitchen line, offering a durable and efficient solution for high-volume grilling and searing.
