CASTA Gas Smooth Grill Surface for Professional Kitchens

A gas smooth grill surface heats a solid steel plate with high-efficiency burners, transferring heat directly to food without open flames. The thick steel plate absorbs and spreads the heat evenly, giving a consistent cooking temperature across the entire surface. This method sears meats, vegetables and flatbreads quickly while retaining moisture, and allows precise control over doneness by adjusting the flame beneath the plate.

To operate the CASTA P7/KTG2BBLK, the chef first ignites the burners using the piezoelectric starter. The gas safety valve and thermocouple ensure the flame stays lit only when the system is active. Once the steel plate reaches the desired temperature, food is placed directly onto the smooth surface. The rear flue chimney draws away smoke and steam, keeping the kitchen atmosphere clear. After cooking, excess grease flows into a front channel and collects in a removable drawer for easy disposal.

The grill is constructed entirely from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel with a scotch-brite finish, including the round worktop, base and height-adjustable legs. The cooking surface itself is a 15 mm thick smooth steel plate that provides a stable, durable platform. A black enamel cast iron grate inside the chimney resists acid and corrosion. Two flame tubes beneath the plate distribute heat evenly across the 400 mm cooking area, while maximum and minimum temperature controls allow fine adjustment of the flame.

The 12 kW power rating indicates the load the grill places on the gas supply, requiring a dedicated professional gas line. The 800 × 700 × 305 mm footprint determines the space it occupies on the worktop, fitting into standard kitchen layouts. The stainless steel construction and scotch-brite finish reduce sticking and simplify cleaning; the grease channel and drawer prevent build-up on the cooking surface. Height-adjustable legs allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors or matched to adjacent equipment.

Daily upkeep involves wiping the steel plate with a scraper and cloth, emptying the grease drawer, and brushing the chimney grate to remove carbon deposits. The stainless steel surfaces can be sanitised with standard kitchen cleaners without damaging the finish.

The P7/KTG2BBLK is a standalone gas smooth grill surface designed for professional kitchens and placed in the CASTA catalogue under gas grills and solid-top hobs.
