Lincat GS6/TR Electric Half Ribbed Steel Plate Griddle

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.
