Blue Seal Griddles

The Blue Seal GP514-LS is a freestanding 600mm gas griddle built around a thick machined steel plate with thermostatically controlled burners. It runs on either natural gas or LPG, with the gas type specified at the point of order. The unit sits on an open stand fitted with heavy-duty front legs and rear castors, and it forms part of Blue Seal's modular 600mm series, allowing it to align with compatible equipment from the same range where the kitchen layout allows.

The machined steel plate is what makes this griddle reliable in day-to-day service. Its thickness supports even heat distribution and solid recovery after food is placed down — both important when the griddle is running continuously through a breakfast rush or lunchtime peak. Piezo ignition keeps lighting straightforward, flame failure protection cuts the gas supply if the flame extinguishes unexpectedly, and an overheat cut-out provides a further layer of protection during sustained high-output periods.

In practical terms, the GP514-LS suits kitchens where griddle cooking carries real volume — breakfasts, burgers, grilled meats, flatbreads and similar. Key operational advantages include:

• Even heat retention across the plate for consistent cooking results throughout a full service
• Broad temperature range handles varied menu items on a single surface
• Rear castors allow repositioning without lifting the unit
• Dual gas compatibility reduces procurement lead times
• Modular 600mm format aligns with other Blue Seal series equipment

Installation requires a correctly specified gas supply and adequate overhead extraction — the griddle should sit beneath a suitable ventilation canopy. The open stand offers no undercounter storage, so it is worth considering the unit's position relative to prep areas and the pass before committing to a location. Once sited, it should be secured in accordance with gas safety requirements even though the castors allow movement.

The GP514-LS is well suited to small and medium commercial kitchens, pub and bar operations, cafés with a cooked food offering, and fast-casual restaurants with moderate to high griddle throughput. Sites running higher covers or broader griddle menus may find a wider cooking surface more practical, while lower-volume operations might be better served by a countertop model without the stand.

If you'd like to talk through whether this griddle suits your kitchen setup and service demands, the team is happy to have that conversation before you go ahead.

The Blue Seal GP518-LS is a free-standing 1200mm gas griddle built around a thick machined steel cooking plate. Three independently controlled burners run the full length of the surface, each fitted with piezo ignition and flame failure protection. The unit comes complete on a heavy-duty open stand, making it self-contained and straightforward to position within a cooking line without requiring additional undercounter support.

At this plate width, the GP518-LS is intended as a primary cooking piece in a kitchen running consistent covers across multiple services. The machined steel plate holds heat across the full surface effectively under load, and recovery after a cold batch is reliable enough to maintain rhythm during a busy service. Running three independent temperature zones across the width is genuinely useful when working a mixed range — proteins on high heat at one end, vegetables or bread on a lower zone simultaneously. This is not a unit designed for occasional use; the construction is built for continuous daily operation.

From a practical standpoint, operators benefit from:

• Wide cooking surface sustains throughput across breakfast, lunch, and dinner service
• Independent burner zones allow different temperature settings across the plate simultaneously
• Thick steel plate retains heat under heavy load for consistent results batch to batch
• Piezo ignition with flame failure protection on every burner supports safe daily start-up
• Open stand allows cleaning beneath the unit and straightforward access to components

Installation requires a gas supply — natural gas or LPG depending on the version ordered. The unit needs to sit beneath a correctly sized extraction canopy in line with current UK Building Regulations and gas safety requirements. Rear castors allow repositioning, but once connected to the gas supply the unit should be treated as semi-permanent. Gas connection must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Before ordering, confirm available gas supply capacity, floor loading for a unit of this size and weight, and that your ventilation arrangement is adequate for the heat output.

This griddle is well suited to restaurants, hotels, burger operations, and high-footfall catering sites where the griddle is a central piece of the cooking line and runs across multiple services daily. Operators with lighter or more intermittent throughput may find a narrower model more practical and more economical to run. At the other end, very high-volume sites turning covers back-to-back continuously could consider whether a wider or dual-unit arrangement better matches their output.

If you would like to talk through whether this size is right for your service volume, or want to go over the gas and ventilation requirements before you commit, the team is happy to work through it with you.

The Blue Seal EP514-LS is a freestanding 600mm electric griddle built around a machined steel plate heated by three independently controlled elements. Each element has its own thermostat, allowing the cooking surface to be divided into separate temperature zones that run simultaneously. The open stand means it can be positioned as a standalone unit or integrated into a modular cooking suite without difficulty.

Machined steel plate construction is what makes this griddle reliable under sustained service pressure. The plate holds heat well when portions are loaded in quick succession, so recovery between loads is steady rather than erratic. During a busy breakfast or brunch service — where the surface is loaded and reloaded continuously — that thermal consistency keeps output predictable. The three-zone arrangement also gives the kitchen team genuine flexibility, allowing eggs, proteins, and bread products to run at appropriate temperatures at the same time without interference between zones.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:

• Three independently controlled zones for simultaneous multi-temperature cooking
• Even heat retention across the plate reduces inconsistent results during peak periods
• Safety overheat cut-out provides protection during extended or high-load service
• Enamelled control panel wipes down quickly at end of service
• Front legs and rear castors allow repositioning without removing the unit from service

Installation is more straightforward than a comparable gas griddle — there is no gas supply, regulator, or flue requirement — but the combined element load does place a meaningful demand on your electrical circuit. It is worth confirming your kitchen's supply capacity with your electrician before the unit arrives. Ventilation above the cooking position is advisable regardless, as any griddle operating at high surface temperatures will generate heat and vapour during service.

This model is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens, and mid-volume restaurant services that need a dependable flat-plate electric griddle within a compact footprint. For sites running very high continuous throughput across a full service period, a wider or higher-output unit may be worth considering to avoid the plate being under sustained overload at peak.

The Blue Seal GP516-LS is a 900mm wide freestanding gas griddle built around a machined steel cooking plate and mounted on an open stand. It operates as a self-contained unit, making it straightforward to position without integrating into a full cooking suite, though it sits comfortably alongside other 900mm modular equipment where a cooking line is being built out.

The thick steel plate is central to how this griddle performs in practice. It holds heat across the full cooking surface with good consistency and recovers well when cold product is loaded in volume — both of which matter during a sustained service when multiple portions are running simultaneously. Thermostat control allows the operator to maintain a stable plate temperature suited to different menu items, and piezo ignition with flame failure protection keeps day-to-day operation practical and safe.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several reliable advantages:

• Thick steel plate reduces temperature variation across the full cooking surface
• Good heat recovery when loading cold product during busy service periods
• Thermostat control supports consistent results across varied menu items
• Rear castors and front legs allow repositioning and easier access for deep cleaning
• Compatible with natural gas or LPG — specify at point of order

Installation requires a gas supply connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The 900mm width takes up a significant section of any cooking line, so extraction coverage and available floor space should be confirmed before ordering. The open stand provides no undercounter storage, which is worth factoring in if your kitchen relies on that space. The rear castors are a practical consideration for sites where equipment is moved regularly for thorough cleaning.

This griddle is well suited to independent restaurants, pub kitchens, burger operations, and catering businesses where flat-top cooking is central to the menu. It handles mid-to-high volume service reliably. For very high-throughput sites or those requiring a wider cooking surface, it is worth considering a heavier-duty or larger-format model before committing.

The Blue Seal EP518-LS is a 1200mm wide free-standing electric griddle designed for continuous, high-volume cooking in professional kitchen environments. A thick machined steel plate is heated by multiple stainless steel sheathed elements, with thermostatically controlled zones running independently across the full cooking surface. The unit is supplied on an open stand with fixed front legs and rear castors, which makes repositioning within a kitchen line manageable without requiring the unit to be fully lifted.

In practice, a griddle of this width earns its place where throughput is the primary concern. Hotel breakfast operations, large restaurant service lines, central production kitchens, and event catering setups running extended services are all environments where the EP518-LS is commonly deployed. The machined steel plate holds temperature consistently under sustained load, and being able to run different zones at different intensities simultaneously means items with varying heat requirements can be cooked side by side without compromising either. A built-in safety cut-out adds a sensible layer of protection during long services.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

• Wide cooking surface reduces batching delays during high-volume service periods
• Machined steel plate delivers even heat distribution across the full width
• Independent zone thermostat control allows flexible simultaneous cooking
• Enamelled control panel wipes down quickly between services
• Castored stand makes repositioning practical without lifting the unit

This is a three-phase electric unit and requires an appropriate electrical supply and circuit protection — it is not compatible with a standard single-phase connection. The size and weight of the unit mean that floor loading and access routes are worth assessing before delivery is arranged. Adequate overhead extraction must be in place before the unit is brought into service.

The EP518-LS is well suited to kitchens with consistent, high-volume griddle demand and the electrical infrastructure to support it. Smaller operations or those with limited electrical capacity may find a shorter model within the same range a more practical choice. Equally, very high-volume or multi-station production environments are worth a conversation to confirm this specification is the right fit for the workload.

If you'd like to talk through whether this griddle suits your kitchen layout, service pattern, or electrical setup, the team is happy to help you work it out before you make a decision.

The Blue Seal EP516-LS is a freestanding 900mm electric griddle built around a thick machined steel cooking plate. The plate thickness is a deliberate engineering choice — the thermal mass it provides holds surface temperature steady when food is loaded, rather than allowing the surface to spike and dip under the pressure of a busy service. Six stainless steel sheathed elements distribute heat evenly across the full width of the plate, and each zone is thermostatically controlled independently, allowing operators to run different temperatures across the surface at the same time.

In a working kitchen this type of griddle earns its place through consistent, predictable throughput. The heavy plate retains heat effectively across back-to-back covers, and recovery between loads is reliable — both of which matter when service pace does not allow for waiting. Overheat protection and safety cut-out circuitry provide a practical safeguard for operators running the unit across extended shifts.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

• Even heat distribution across the full surface reduces cold spots and uneven results
• Independent zone control supports simultaneous cooking at different temperatures
• The enamelled control panel wipes down quickly at the end of service
• Rear castors allow the unit to be pulled forward for cleaning or repositioning
• The open stand improves airflow and provides accessible space beneath

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply and adequate overhead extraction — typically a canopy ventilation system above the cooking line. Floor loading, footprint, and access for servicing should all be considered before the unit is positioned. The EP516-LS works equally well as part of a modular cooking suite or as a standalone piece, depending on the kitchen layout.

This griddle is well suited to medium to high-volume operations — restaurants, hotels, contract catering sites, and similar environments where the griddle sees regular daily use across full service periods. For very high-throughput sites or operations requiring a wider cooking surface, a heavier-duty model may be worth considering. For lighter-use kitchens, a more compact unit is likely to be more practical and more economical to run.

If you are weighing up whether the EP516-LS is the right fit for your kitchen — in terms of output, line position, or electrical supply — the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
