Lincat GS7 Steel Plate Gas Griddle

The Lincat GS7 is a gas-fired countertop griddle built around a solid machined steel cooking plate. Designed for continuous use in professional kitchens, it prioritises consistent surface temperature and reliable throughput across service. Two independently controlled cooking zones allow operators to run different heat settings across the same surface — a practical advantage when working with different proteins at once, or when one section can be turned down during quieter periods.

Machined steel plate is a well-established choice for commercial griddle work. It retains heat effectively and recovers quickly when cold product is loaded, which matters during sustained peak covers when the griddle is rarely given time to rest. The fully welded plate construction eliminates recessed joints and seams that would otherwise harbour grease and food debris, making end-of-service cleaning more manageable.

The day-to-day operational advantages of the GS7 centre on control, consistency, and practical usability:

• Dual-zone thermostatic control for independent temperature management across the surface
• Thick steel plate delivers stable, even heat distribution throughout service
• Fully welded construction reduces dirt traps and simplifies cleaning routines
• Gas operation gives immediate heat response, well suited to fast-paced service periods
• Independent zone control allows partial shutdown when full capacity is not required

As a gas appliance, the GS7 requires connection to a suitable gas supply — natural gas or LPG depending on your site. Installation and commissioning must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Adequate extraction ventilation above the cooking position is essential, as griddles generate significant heat and vapour during service. The GS7 is a countertop unit and will need a suitable cooking suite or fabricated bench at the correct working height before it can be commissioned.

The GS7 is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotel kitchens, and fast-food operations running a steady volume of griddled items through service. It handles breakfast menus, burgers, fish, and similar fare reliably at a mid-range capacity level. For very high-throughput operations — large contract catering sites or high-volume concepts running continuous output — a heavier-duty or wider unit may be worth considering. For lower-volume sites or kitchens with limited bench space, a smaller model in the range may be a more practical fit.
