CASTA Electric Smooth Grill Surface LADYQ 900 LQ/FTE2BBLC

A smooth electric grill surface transfers heat evenly across a solid chrome cooking plate, eliminating hot spots and allowing precise control over searing, grilling and shallow frying. The plate's bright, hard surface reflects radiant heat back into the food while its mass holds temperature steady, so batches cook consistently without constant adjustment. Steam and smoke rise from the food and are drawn away by the integrated rear flue chimney, keeping the air clear and the workspace tidy.

To start, the operator plugs the unit into a 400 V three-phase supply and sets the thermostat knob to the desired temperature between 100 °C and 240 °C. Once the plate reaches the set point, food is placed directly on the smooth surface; no oil is needed for most items, but a light film prevents sticking. Side splashguards contain grease and residues, while a front drain hole channels excess fat into a removable collection drawer. After cooking, the drawer is emptied and the plate is scraped clean while still warm, then wiped with a damp cloth.

The entire appliance is built from AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage in busy kitchens. The 15 mm thick chrome cooking plate provides a durable, non-stick surface that withstands daily wear. A manually resettable safety thermostat cuts power if the plate exceeds safe temperatures, protecting both the equipment and the operator. Control knobs and handles use heat-resistant cool-grip material, allowing safe adjustments even when the unit is hot.

The 6 kW power rating indicates the load on the three-phase circuit, so the kitchen must have adequate supply capacity. The 400 × 900 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths and provides ample cooking area for high-volume service. The 275 mm height allows comfortable use while standing, and the rounded design with integrated rear chimney reduces sharp corners that collect dirt. Side splashguards and the front grease drainage system simplify daily cleaning, while the removable fat collection drawer makes disposal quick and hygienic.

Cleaning involves emptying the fat drawer, scraping the warm plate, wiping it with a damp cloth, and rinsing the splashguards and drawer under a tap. The Scotch Brite finish resists fingerprints and water spots, so the unit looks clean with minimal effort. No disassembly is required for routine maintenance, and the bright chrome surface does not require seasoning or special coatings.

The LADYQ 900 LQ/FTE2BBLC is a single model with no variants. It is categorised under professional electric grills and griddles in the CASTA catalogue.
