Product Description
The Lincat GS6/TR is an electric countertop griddle featuring a machined steel cooking plate divided into two halves — one flat, one ribbed. This split-surface configuration allows operators to cook different items simultaneously without cross-contamination of cooking styles, making it a practical choice for kitchens that need to produce both seared and marked items during the same service.
The 12mm machined steel plate is thick enough to retain heat effectively during busy service periods, recovering temperature quickly after cold food is loaded. The dual-zone thermostat control means each half of the plate can be run at a different temperature, which helps reduce energy consumption when one side is not in use and gives cooks more precise control during variable-demand periods. Fully welded plate construction removes hidden joins and crevices that would otherwise trap grease and food debris, which makes end-of-service cleaning more straightforward.
In practical terms, this griddle suits operations where the menu calls for a mix of flat-cooked and charmarked results — burgers, chicken, fish, and vegetables across the same unit. Key operational advantages include:
- Independent temperature zones reduce energy use during quieter periods
- Ribbed surface produces char marks without a separate chargrill unit
- Fully welded plate construction simplifies daily cleaning routines
- Thermostat-controlled zones support consistent, repeatable cooking results
- Countertop format suits kitchens with limited floor space
As an electric unit, installation requires a suitable power supply at the correct specification — confirm your site's supply capacity before ordering, and ensure there is adequate ventilation above the cooking position in line with your kitchen extraction setup. The countertop footprint suits most pass or cooking line positions, though access for cleaning beneath and around the unit should be considered during placement.
This griddle is well suited to small to medium-volume kitchens — cafés, pubs, bistros, and hotel operations — where the menu requires both flat and ribbed cooking surfaces but space or budget does not justify two separate units. For higher-volume operations running continuous breakfast or grill service, a larger or heavier-duty model may be worth considering.
If you'd like to talk through whether this griddle fits your service volumes and menu requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The GS6/TR is well suited to moderate-volume service — a busy pub kitchen or café running steady covers throughout the day, for example. For operations running continuous high-throughput grill service with back-to-back orders over several hours, a larger cooking surface with greater plate mass may handle sustained demand more comfortably.
- The ribbed half allows you to produce char-marked results — on chicken breasts, fish fillets, or vegetables — while using the flat half for items like eggs, bacon, or burgers that need full plate contact. It effectively gives you two cooking styles from one unit, which is useful where menu variety is expected but space on the cooking line is limited.
- Confirm your kitchen's electrical supply can accommodate the unit's power requirements and that the connection point is within practical distance of your intended cooking position. You should also ensure your extraction canopy covers the griddle position adequately, as electric griddles still generate significant heat and steam during cooking.
