LOTUS Electric Fry Top SUPERCHROME Smooth Griddle FTLT-64ETSX

This smooth chrome-plated griddle distributes heat uniformly, preventing uneven cooking. The electric element heats the metal plate, which then transfers heat directly to food, offering better temperature control than gas models and reducing kitchen heat. The design also minimises flare-ups from fat drippings, enhancing safety in busy kitchens.

The unit is placed on a stable surface and levelled using adjustable feet. After connecting to a 400 V three-phase supply, the temperature is set between 50 and 300 °C. A dual thermostat maintains consistent heat, ensuring reliable results for every batch. Food cooks directly on the chrome surface, while a removable grease tray collects excess fat, keeping the workspace clean.

The cooking surface is made from 2.5 mm thick 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a chrome finish, housed in a corrosion-resistant frame with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The plate measures 39.5 cm in depth and 45 cm in width, fitting within a 400 mm by 600 mm footprint. The 280 mm height allows comfortable use, and at 49 kg, the unit remains stable during use but can be repositioned when needed.

Two IPX5-rated water-resistant knobs regulate the temperature—one for the operating thermostat and another as a safety cut-out. A locking mechanism secures the feet once levelled, preventing movement during operation.

The 4.5 kW power rating suits professional kitchens with dedicated three-phase circuits. The 50-300 °C range accommodates tasks from gentle warming to high-heat searing, making it adaptable for various service periods.

Daily maintenance involves scraping the chrome surface with a metal spatula and wiping it with a damp cloth. The grease tray is removed for cleaning, and the control knobs can be wiped safely due to their water-resistant design. The satin-finish stainless steel frame resists smudges and is easily cleaned with standard kitchen products.
