LOTUS FTLT-66ETX Electric Fry Top with Smooth Griddle Plate

An electric fry top heats a solid metal plate directly with embedded elements, transferring energy evenly across the surface without open flames. The smooth griddle plate absorbs and holds heat, then conducts it steadily into food placed on top, browning and searing without hot spots. Two independent cooking areas allow separate temperature control, so one side can hold finished items while the other sears fresh batches.

The operator positions the unit on a worktop, adjusts the feet for level, and locks the feet to prevent movement. Each zone is set to the required temperature between 50 and 300 °C using the water-resistant control knobs. Once the plate reaches the set point, the dual thermostat maintains it within a narrow band, switching the elements on and off as needed. Food is placed directly on the plate, cooked, and then removed with a spatula. Excess fat and juices drain into the removable grease collection tray beneath the front edge.

The fry top is built from 18/10 AISI 304 CrNi stainless steel, finished with a Scotch-Brite satin surface that resists scratches and fingerprints. The 2.5 mm thick griddle plate spreads heat evenly and resists warping under repeated heating and cooling cycles. IPX5-rated control knobs protect the electrical components from splashes during cleaning.

A 6.75 kW power rating draws a steady load on a 400 V three-phase circuit, suitable for commercial kitchens with dedicated supplies. The 600 mm square footprint fits standard worktop depths, while the 66 kg weight requires two people to move and a solid surface to support it. The 59.5 by 45 cm cooking zones provide ample space for simultaneous batches of burgers, pancakes or grilled vegetables.

Daily upkeep involves scraping the plate clean after use, emptying and washing the grease tray, and wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. The adjustable feet and locking system keep the unit stable during service, reducing the risk of spills or uneven cooking.

The FTLT-66ETX is a single model with two independent cooking zones on a smooth griddle plate, designed for countertop installation in professional catering environments.
