HENDI Smooth Grill Surface for Professional Worktops

A smooth grill surface delivers direct heat from an 8 mm tempered steel plate to food without ridges or grooves. The electric element beneath the plate distributes heat evenly, ensuring a uniform sear and flat cooking. This design suits delicate items that might stick or break on a ribbed surface. Even heat distribution minimises hot spots, reducing the need for constant turning or repositioning during cooking.

The grill is positioned on a stable worktop and connected to a suitable power supply. The power switch includes an integrated diode to indicate when the unit is active. Temperature can be adjusted steplessly up to 300 °C, allowing precise control for searing, grilling, or warming. Once the plate reaches the desired temperature, food is placed directly on the smooth surface. A back edge prevents spills, while a removable drain tray collects fat or juices. Non-slip feet ensure stability during use.

The body is made of stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The 8 mm tempered steel plate retains heat efficiently, reducing energy consumption once the set temperature is maintained. Overheating protection is provided by a resettable thermal fuse, which cuts power if the plate exceeds safe limits.

The 2 kW power rating ensures compatibility with standard kitchen circuits. The 220-240 V voltage range aligns with UK mains supply, eliminating the need for a transformer. The maximum temperature of 300 °C supports high-heat cooking but is not intended for low-temperature holding. The 13.21 kg weight allows manual handling, making it easy to place on a worktop or store when not in use. The 326x445x225 mm dimensions indicate the space required on a counter, leaving room for preparation nearby.

Cleaning involves removing the drain tray for separate washing. The smooth steel plate should be wiped down once cooled, using a scraper or cloth to remove residue. The stainless steel body can be cleaned with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive pads to prevent scratches. Non-slip feet should be checked regularly to maintain stability.

This grill surface is a single unit with no variants, designed for professional kitchen worktops and listed under countertop cooking equipment in the HENDI catalogue.
