Fagor 900 Series Countertop Ribbed Electric Griddle FT-E905 R

The Fagor FT-E905 R is a countertop electric griddle from the 900 Series range, fitted with a ribbed mild steel cooking plate. The ribbed surface is designed for cooking items such as steaks, burgers, chicken portions, and fish fillets where grill marks and fat drainage matter to the finished result. At countertop depth, it sits cleanly on a suitably rated work surface or a compatible 900 Series stand, making it a practical addition to a live cooking station or a main kitchen line.

The 7.5kW three-phase element delivers the heat output needed to bring the plate up to temperature quickly and, importantly, to recover that temperature after cold product is loaded — a point that matters considerably during a busy lunch or dinner service when the griddle is working continuously. The 20mm thick mild steel plate holds heat well across the surface, which helps avoid the cold spots that can extend cooking times and affect consistency across a batch.

From an operational standpoint, the ribbed plate format offers a few practical advantages over a flat alternative:

• Fat and juices channel away from the food, improving presentation and reducing the risk of flare-up or excessive smoke
• The high-capacity waste drawer reduces the frequency of emptying during a service, keeping the line moving
• Stainless steel construction handles the cleaning demands of a busy kitchen without deteriorating quickly
• Controls are straightforward, reducing training time for new or agency kitchen staff

Because this is a three-phase unit, a suitable three-phase supply must be available at the installation point before ordering. This is a countertop appliance and does not include a stand as standard — confirm your worktop or stand arrangement ahead of delivery. At 75kg, two people and appropriate manual handling equipment will be needed for positioning. Ventilation requirements should also be assessed with your kitchen ventilation contractor, as any griddle operating at this power level will require adequate extraction above the cooking position.

The FT-E905 R is well suited to operations running a consistent griddle menu — hotel restaurants, pub kitchens, and café operations with regular grill orders will find it a reliable workhorse. It integrates cleanly with other Fagor 900 Series equipment, which is useful where a coherent suite of appliances on a shared stand or run is part of the kitchen layout. For operations with significantly higher throughput demands, a wider or dual-zone model may be worth considering. Equally, for kitchens with limited three-phase capacity, the available power supply should be confirmed before this unit is specified.
