LOTUS Electric Smooth Fry Top Griddle 90 FTLT-98ET

A smooth electric fry top griddle heats a solid metal plate to sear, grill and fry without open flames. The thick steel surface spreads heat evenly across its width, so every part of the plate reaches the same temperature. Two independent cooking zones let the operator set different temperatures for separate tasks at the same time, or switch off one zone to save energy when the load is light.

The operator turns the thermostat knobs to set each zone between 50 °C and 300 °C. A safety thermostat under the plate cuts power if the temperature rises beyond the set point, preventing overheating. Once the plate is hot, the operator places food directly on the smooth surface. Burgers, steaks, eggs, pancakes and vegetables cook without sticking, and the even heat prevents cold spots. A removable grease tray under the front edge catches drips and splashes, keeping the worktop clean during service.

The griddle plate is 2.5 mm thick 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The chassis is also stainless steel, and the control knobs are water-resistant to IPX5 standard. Adjustable legs allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors, and a locking system keeps it stable once positioned.

The 15 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply, the standard circuit in professional kitchens. The 103 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people. The 800 mm width fits a standard worktop run, while the 900 mm depth leaves room for controls and grease collection at the front.

Daily cleaning starts with scraping the plate while it is still warm, then wiping it with a cloth. The removable grease tray lifts out for emptying and washing. The IPX5-rated control knobs can be wiped down without risk of water ingress. The satin finish on the plate resists scratches and hides minor marks from metal utensils.

This model has two cooking zones on a single 76 cm by 68 cm plate, each controlled by its own thermostat. The catalogue places it in the electric fry top category, under smooth griddles.
