LOTUS Electric Water Grill CWKT-74ETX for Professional Kitchens

A water grill uses a shallow bath of water beneath the cooking surface to create steam while grilling. The steam rises through the perforated plate, keeping food moist and reducing flare-ups from dripping fat. This method combines direct radiant heat from the electric elements with gentle steam, so proteins stay juicy and vegetables do not dry out.

The operator fills the integrated water tray to the marked level, lowers the stainless-steel grill grate and switches the unit on. Once the surface reaches temperature, food is placed directly on the grate. The water bath evaporates steadily, enveloping the food in steam without boiling it. After cooking, the grate lifts out for cleaning and the water tray slides forward to empty.

The CWKT-74ETX is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The 1 mm thick worktop has rounded edges, chrome-plated details and a rear protective panel. IPX5-rated waterproof control handles sit on the front, and the entire front panel removes for access to internal parts. Adjustable legs allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors.

Controls consist of a power switch and a thermostat that sets the temperature of the heating elements. The 400 V three-phase supply draws 4.08 kW, suitable for a dedicated commercial circuit. The 55 kg weight requires two people to move the grill, and the 400 × 705 × 280 mm footprint fits on most worktops or stands.

Cleaning involves emptying the water tray, lifting out the grill grate and wiping the stainless-steel surfaces. The front panel detaches to reach internal components, and the rounded edges prevent food debris from catching.

The CWKT-74ETX is a single model with no variants.
