Stalgast Electric Ribbed-Smooth Grill 8.1 kW 9737300

A ribbed-smooth electric grill combines two cooking surfaces in one unit: one side with ridges to sear and mark food, the other flat for even contact and delicate items. The grill heats by electric elements beneath the plates, transferring energy directly into the metal. This method gives rapid, controllable heat without open flames, making it steady for long service in a professional kitchen. The ridges on one plate lift food above the surface, allowing fat and juices to drain away while creating char lines that enhance flavour and presentation. The smooth side provides uniform heat for items that need consistent contact, such as eggs, pancakes or fish.

To operate, the chef sets the desired temperature using the ergonomic knobs on the laser-engraved front panel. The grill reaches its working temperature quickly, after which food is placed on either the ribbed or smooth surface. High side and rear edges contain splashes and spills, while a waste and grease drainage hole channels excess fat into a collector beneath. The unit can be mounted on a frame base for standalone use or fitted onto a cabinet base with doors for storage below. Adjustable feet allow the grill to be levelled on uneven floors, ensuring stability during service.

The working surface spans 2200 cm² on each plate, giving a total of 4400 cm² for simultaneous cooking. The grill is constructed with a durable metal body and chrome-plated cooking plates, chosen for their heat retention and ease of cleaning. A device protection system is accessible from the control panel, allowing the operator to monitor and safeguard the appliance during use.

With an 8.1 kW power rating, the grill draws a significant load and requires a 400 V three-phase supply, typical of larger professional equipment. The 800 mm width, 700 mm depth and 250 mm height define its footprint, fitting into standard worktop layouts while leaving space for adjacent appliances. The maximum temperature of 300 °C opens a range of cooking techniques, from searing steaks to grilling vegetables, but does not reach the higher levels needed for some specialised processes.

Cleaning follows from the construction: the chrome plates are wiped down after each service to remove food debris, while the grease collector is emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent build-up. The laser-engraved panel resists wear and remains legible over time. Adjustable feet should be checked periodically to ensure the unit remains stable and level.

The grill is designed for integration into professional kitchen setups, whether as a standalone unit on a frame or built into a cabinet base with storage below. No variants or additional versions are specified for this model.
