LOTUS CW-94ETX Electric Water Grill with Neutral Cabinet 90

A water grill uses a shallow bath of water beneath the grill surface to catch fat and juices, reducing smoke and flare-ups while keeping food moist. The heated water also generates gentle steam, which circulates around the food, cooking it evenly without drying it out. This method is particularly effective for proteins that benefit from a combination of direct heat and steam, such as poultry, fish, and vegetables, as it prevents sticking and preserves natural juices.

The LOTUS CW-94ETX operates with a rotating stainless steel heating element beneath the grill plate. Food is placed directly on the 38 × 66 cm grill surface, where the heat from the element sears the surface while the water below maintains a steady, humid environment. The operator fills the removable water tray before starting, adjusts the temperature as needed, and monitors cooking progress through the open-front design. Once cooking is complete, the tray is removed to drain and clean, and the grill surface is wiped down.

The unit is constructed from 2 mm thick 18/10 grade AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin polish finish, featuring rounded edges and chrome-plated details. The front control panel is detachable for access to all cleaning components, and the grill sits on adjustable legs for levelling on uneven floors. Waterproof IPX5-rated handles ensure safe operation in wet environments.

The 7.8 kW power rating requires a 400/440 V three-phase electrical supply, typical for heavy-duty commercial kitchen equipment. The 71 kg weight indicates a sturdy, freestanding unit that remains stable during use but may require two people to move. The 400 × 900 × 900 mm footprint provides a compact yet efficient cooking area, suitable for worktops or counter installations where space is organised for high-volume service.

Cleaning involves removing the water tray for emptying and rinsing, wiping the grill surface with a non-abrasive pad, and accessing internal components by detaching the front panel. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining, while the satin finish minimises visible scratches during daily use.

The CW-94ETX is a 90 cm model within the LOTUS water grill range, designed for professional kitchens requiring consistent, low-smoke grilling. It is categorised under electric grills with integrated neutral cabinets for seamless workflow integration.
