LOTUS Electric Water Grill CWKT-74ET for Professional Kitchens

A water grill uses a thin layer of water beneath the cooking surface to create steam that keeps food moist while it grills. The heat source sits directly under a stainless-steel plate; as the plate warms, the water below turns to steam, which rises through the food, preventing it from drying out. This method gives the sear and texture of a traditional grill while locking in juices, making it particularly effective for proteins and delicate items that can stick or overcook on dry heat.

The operator loads the food onto the raised stainless-steel grill grate, which sits above the heated plate. The integrated water bath is filled before service, and the heat-reflective system behind the elements directs warmth evenly across the cooking surface. Once the grill reaches temperature, the food cooks steadily, with steam rising continuously to maintain moisture. After use, the grill grate lifts away for cleaning, and the water bath can be drained and wiped down.

The CWKT-74ET is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, with a 1 mm thick satin-finish worktop and rounded edges for safety. Chrome-plated details and a rear protective panel add durability, while IPX5-rated waterproof control handles allow safe operation in wet environments. The front control panel removes easily to give access to all internal parts for cleaning.

Controls are mounted on the front and include power settings for the heating elements. The 4.08 kW rating indicates the load it places on a three-phase 400 V circuit, which is standard for professional kitchen equipment of this size. The 55 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people, and the 400 x 705 x 280 mm footprint fits on a standard worktop or counter. Adjustable legs ensure a stable setup on uneven floors.

Cleaning involves draining the water bath, wiping the grilling surface and removing the front panel to reach internal components. The satin finish resists fingerprints and scratches, and the rounded edges prevent food debris from collecting. No additional versions or variants of this model are listed.
