MBM MAGISTRA PLUS 700 Gas Ribbed Grill Plate for Professional Kitchens, 70 cm

A gas ribbed grill plate heats food by direct contact with a metal surface raised to high temperature by gas burners beneath. The ribs create char lines and conduct heat into the food, searing the outside while the interior cooks through radiant and conducted heat. Gas burners respond instantly to control, allowing the operator to raise or lower the temperature across the plate without waiting for elements to warm or cool. This method gives fast, even cooking and the characteristic grill marks that signal a professional finish.

The MAGISTRA PLUS 700 is a 70 cm gas ribbed grill plate designed for continuous service in commercial kitchens. The operator lights the burners, sets the flame to the required level, and places food on the ribbed surface. Independent burners beneath the plate allow different temperature zones, so one side can sear steaks while the other keeps vegetables warm. The chrome finish reflects heat back into the food, reducing heat loss into the kitchen and maintaining a more comfortable working environment. A removable stainless steel basin beneath the plate collects grease and residue, simpling cleaning and reducing flare-ups.

The plate is constructed from a 15 mm thick steel cooking surface with rounded front corners, finished in polished or solid chrome. The chrome layer prevents flavour transfer between foods, so fish, meat and vegetables can be cooked in succession without cross-contamination. The worktop is 1 mm AISI 18/10 stainless steel, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that aligns precisely with adjacent equipment. A removable stainless steel basin with a 2 litre capacity sits beneath the plate to collect grease and residue.

Controls consist of gas knobs that adjust the flame on each independent burner, allowing precise temperature control across the cooking surface. The 5.5 kW gas power rating indicates the load on the gas supply, suitable for a dedicated commercial circuit. The 43 kg weight requires two people to move the unit safely, and the 400 mm depth, 714 mm width and 250 mm height determine the space it occupies on the worktop or counter.

Cleaning involves removing the stainless steel basin to empty and wash it, then wiping the chrome plate with a damp cloth or scraper to clear residue. The chrome finish reduces sticking and makes cleaning easier, while the independent burners allow the plate to be used for different foods without pausing to clean between batches.

The MAGISTRA PLUS 700 is a 70 cm model with independent gas burners, available in chrome finish. It is categorised under professional gas grills and ribbed grill plates.
