Lincat GS7 Electric Steel Plate Griddle | Commercial Griddle

The Lincat GS7 is a countertop electric griddle built around a machined steel cooking plate. It is designed for continuous use in commercial kitchens where consistent, even cooking across the full surface is a practical requirement rather than a luxury. The steel plate construction gives it a different cooking characteristic to chrome alternatives — better suited to products that benefit from direct contact with a seasoned surface, such as burgers, bacon, eggs, and breakfast items.

In a busy service environment, even heat distribution across the plate is what separates a reliable griddle from a frustrating one. The machined steel plate on the GS7 is designed to minimise hot spots, which helps when you are cooking multiple portions simultaneously and need consistent results across the full surface. Two independently controlled heat zones give the operator flexibility to run different temperature profiles side by side, or to reduce energy draw on one half during quieter periods.

From a practical standpoint, the fully welded plate construction removes the joins and seams that can trap grease and food debris on lesser units, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning considerably. Key operational advantages include:

• Dual control zones for flexible temperature management across the plate
• Machined steel surface promotes even heat distribution during continuous cooking
• Fully welded plate eliminates grease traps and simplifies daily cleaning
• Thermostatically controlled zones help manage energy use during quieter service periods
• Countertop format suits kitchens where floor space is limited

As a countertop unit, the GS7 requires a suitable worksurface capable of supporting its weight and withstanding the heat generated during operation. Adequate ventilation above and around the unit is advisable, and extraction should be appropriate for the cooking volumes you are running. It connects to a standard electrical supply, though it is worth confirming your supply capacity with an electrician before installation. The GS7 is a practical choice for small to medium-volume operations — cafés, hotel breakfast services, pub kitchens, and similar environments. For very high-throughput sites running continuous breakfast or grill service, a larger or heavier-duty model may be worth considering.
