LOTUS Electric Ribbed Fry Top FTRT-74ET for Professional Kitchens

An electric fry top heats a solid metal plate with embedded elements, transferring heat directly to food for searing, grilling or frying without oil. The ribbed surface creates char lines while allowing fat to drain away, concentrating flavour and reducing grease in the finished dish. Heat spreads evenly across the plate, so every section reaches the set temperature without hot spots that burn one side while leaving the other raw.

The operator switches the unit on, sets the temperature between 50 and 300 °C using the waterproof control knobs, and waits for the plate to reach the desired heat. Food is placed directly on the ribbed surface; the raised ridges sear the contact points while the valleys conduct heat more gently. A removable grease tray collects fat and juices, simplifying cleanup. Adjustable legs level the unit on uneven floors, and a locking system secures it in place during service.

The griddle plate measures 39.5 by 51 cm and is made of 2.5 mm thick 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. This material resists corrosion, withstands daily scraping and maintains a consistent temperature across its surface. A dual thermostat system regulates the working temperature and provides a safety cut-out to prevent overheating.

Controls consist of waterproof knobs that adjust the temperature from 50 to 300 °C. The 5.55 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical supply; the unit requires a 400 V three-phase circuit with neutral or a 230 V three-phase circuit, both at 50/60 Hz. The 58 kg weight means two people should move it, and the 400x705x280 mm footprint fits on most commercial worktops or stands.

Cleaning involves removing the grease tray, scraping the plate while still warm, and wiping it with a cloth or non-abrasive pad. The waterproof control knobs allow safe washing of the exterior. The unit is a single model with no variants.

The catalogue places this fry top in the heavy-duty electric griddle section for professional catering kitchens.
