LOTUS Electric Ribbed Fry Top with Dual Cooking Zones FTRT-66ETS

An electric fry top with a ribbed chromed griddle surface concentrates heat along raised ridges, searing food quickly while allowing fat and juices to drain into the valleys. This method creates distinct grill marks and reduces flare-ups, giving the same charred finish as an open flame without the need for gas. The two independent cooking areas let the operator run different temperatures at once, so one side can hold food warm while the other sears steaks or burgers at high heat.

The operator positions the unit on a worktop, adjusts the feet for level, and locks the casters to prevent movement. After connecting the 400 V 3-phase supply, the control knobs for each zone are set between 50 °C and 300 °C. Once the surface reaches the chosen temperature, food is placed directly on the ribbed plate. The dual thermostats maintain the set point and cut power if the temperature exceeds safe limits. A removable grease tray collects drippings beneath the plate, ready for emptying after service.

The body is constructed from 18/10 AISI 304 CrNi stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, while the cooking surface itself is 2.5 mm thick chromed steel. IPX5-rated control knobs resist water ingress during cleaning. Four adjustable feet and a locking system secure the unit in place.

The 6.75 kW power rating indicates the load on a 3-phase circuit, suitable for commercial kitchens with dedicated high-current supplies. A 400 V 3-phase connection ensures even heating across the 59.5 × 45 cm ribbed plate. The 600 × 600 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths, while the 280 mm height allows under-counter storage when not in use. At 66 kg, the unit requires two people to move safely.

Daily cleaning involves removing the grease tray, wiping the ribbed surface with a scraper and cloth, and rinsing the tray under a tap. The IPX5-rated knobs can be wiped down without risk of water damage. The adjustable feet should be checked periodically to keep the unit level and stable.
