LOTUS Electric Griddle 50/50 with Neutral Cabinet FTLR-76ET

An electric griddle heats a smooth steel plate from beneath with embedded elements, transferring heat evenly across the entire cooking surface. The method eliminates hot spots and allows precise temperature control at every point, so food cooks uniformly whether it is placed at the front, the back or the sides.

To operate the griddle, the chef first sets the double thermostat to the desired temperature between 50 °C and 300 °C. Once the plate has reached the set point, ingredients are placed directly on the surface. The open base and storage shelf below keep tools and ingredients within reach, while the rear splashback prevents grease and liquids from escaping. As cooking progresses, excess fat and juices drain into removable grease collection containers positioned at the front. After service, the front control panel can be removed to access all serviceable components for inspection or maintenance.

The griddle is constructed from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, including a 2 mm thick worktop and chrome-plated components. The cooking plate itself is available in either FE430B steel or FE510C chrome-plated steel, both offering rapid heating and high durability. IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs protect the electrical components from moisture and splashes, while adjustable feet allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors. The overall dimensions of 600 mm wide, 705 mm deep and 900 mm high provide a compact footprint for professional kitchens, and the 78 kg weight ensures stability without requiring permanent installation.

A 7.4 kW power rating indicates the load the griddle places on the electrical supply, requiring a 400 V three-phase connection with neutral. This voltage is standard in commercial kitchens and supports the rapid heating and sustained performance needed for continuous service. The temperature range of 50–300 °C covers everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing, accommodating a wide variety of dishes without the need for additional appliances.

Cleaning is straightforward due to the removable grease trays and the accessibility of internal components. The satin-finish stainless steel resists staining and is easy to wipe down, while the rounded edges prevent debris from accumulating in corners. The absence of doors on the neutral cabinet simplifies access to the storage shelf, though additional doors can be fitted if required.

The FTLR-76ET is categorised as a professional electric fry-top griddle with an integrated neutral cabinet, designed for use in commercial kitchens where space and efficiency are priorities.
