CASTA LADYQ 900 ribbed-smooth grill surface with neutral cabinet

A ribbed-smooth grill surface combines direct radiant heat from an electric element beneath a thick chrome cooking plate with conduction across the metal. The ribbed section sears deep char lines into meats and vegetables, while the smooth area gives even browning for delicate items such as eggs, fish and pancakes. Heat spreads quickly through the 15 mm plate, reducing hot spots and allowing the chef to move food across the surface without temperature drop. Steam and smoke rise into the integrated rear flue chimney, keeping the air clear and the workspace comfortable during long service. The sequence begins by switching the appliance on and setting the thermostat between 100 °C and 240 °C. Once the plate reaches temperature, ingredients are placed directly on the chrome surface. Ribbed sections are used for steaks, burgers and kebabs; smooth sections for eggs, bacon and flatbreads. A front drain hole collects excess fat, which flows into a removable drawer beneath the worktop. After cooking, the surface is scraped clean, the drawer emptied and the splashguards wiped down. Construction is entirely AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The 15 mm chrome cooking plate is bright and hard, resisting warping and scratching under daily use. Side splashguards prevent grease from reaching adjacent surfaces, while the rounded worktop design eliminates sharp corners where debris could collect. A manually resettable safety thermostat cuts power if the temperature exceeds the set limit, protecting the appliance during extended service. Controls consist of a thermostat switch that adjusts the plate temperature from 100 °C to 240 °C, covering the range needed for searing, grilling and gentle cooking. The 12 kW power rating indicates a heavy load on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated 400 V three-phase circuit commonly found in professional kitchens. The 800 × 900 mm footprint provides ample cooking space without occupying excessive floor area, while the 850 mm height aligns with standard worktop levels for comfortable use. Stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish wipes clean after searing steaks or grilling vegetables, while the rounded edges and integrated rear chimney prevent grease from pooling or smoke from lingering. The chrome plate is scraped while still warm to remove food debris, then wiped with a damp cloth. The removable fat collection drawer is emptied and washed separately. Stainless steel splashguards and the rear flue chimney are wiped down daily to prevent grease build-up. The Scotch Brite finish on the exterior resists fingerprints and stains, reducing the need for frequent polishing. The LADYQ 900 is supplied as a single unit with a neutral cabinet base, ready for connection to a three-phase 400 V supply. No additional variants or accessories are specified for this article.
