CASTA Gas Smooth Grill Surface FRY-TOP FTSPS/2GK.BB

A gas smooth grill surface heats a solid stainless-steel plate from below with high-efficiency burners, transferring heat evenly across the entire cooking area. The metal plate absorbs and holds the heat, allowing food to sear directly on its surface without hot spots or cold patches. This method gives consistent browning and texture, whether grilling steaks, vegetables or flatbreads, and the open surface lets the operator move items freely without the restriction of bars or ridges.

The FRY-TOP FTSPS/2GK.BB is loaded by placing food directly onto the preheated plate. Each of the two burners is controlled separately, so one side can be set to high heat for searing while the other side is kept at a lower temperature for holding or gentle cooking. The operator ignites the burners with piezoelectric spark, adjusts the flame with the cool-grip knobs, and monitors the cooking process. Smoke and steam are drawn away through the rear outlet, keeping the workspace clearer. Once cooking is complete, food is lifted from the plate and the unit is left to cool before cleaning.

The grilling surface is constructed from AISI 430 stainless steel, chosen for its thermal conductivity and resistance to warping. A small raised edge on all four sides contains fats and liquids, preventing spills onto the worktop. A removable drip-tray beneath the front opening collects residues, allowing quick drainage and easy removal for cleaning. The burners are built with triple flame tubes for even heat distribution and are fitted with safety gas valves and thermocouples that cut the gas supply if the flame fails. Control knobs use Cool-Grip technology to remain cool to the touch, even after prolonged use. Adjustable legs of AISI 304 stainless steel provide stability and allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors.

A power rating of 26.0 kW indicates the total gas load the unit draws, which determines the size of the gas supply line and the ventilation required in the kitchen. The footprint of 1260 mm by 530 mm shows the space the grill occupies on the worktop, while the 275 mm height allows it to fit beneath standard overhead shelves or extraction canopies. The two independent heating zones let the operator run different cooking processes simultaneously, increasing throughput without cross-contamination of flavours.

Cleaning involves scraping the surface while still warm to remove food debris, then wiping with a damp cloth once cooled. The removable drip-tray is lifted out, emptied and washed separately. The protective edge and integrated opening help direct residues into the tray, reducing the need for deep scrubbing. The stainless-steel construction resists corrosion and staining, making maintenance straightforward.

The FRY-TOP FTSPS/2GK.BB is positioned in the CASTA catalogue under professional gas cooking equipment, specifically smooth grill surfaces for high-volume catering environments.
