Controlled flaring introduces the characteristic charred flavour that customers associate with genuine chargrilled food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a busy service environment, the six independently controlled heat zones give the operator real flexibility — different sections of the grill can run at different temperatures simultaneously, allowing a range of proteins and vegetables to be cooked at the same time without compromising quality. The high-power heating configuration supports fast recovery between batches, which matters when covers are turning quickly and the grill is in continuous use. The cast iron grids retain and distribute heat evenly, producing consistent branded marks and reducing the likelihood of cold spots during peak service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, a number of features help with both food quality and day-to-day practicality:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn integral water bath adds humidity to the cooking environment, helping retain moisture and reduce shrinkage in meat and poultry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe water bath can be filled via a direct plumbed connection or manually, offering flexibility depending on the kitchen layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA front drainage tap makes emptying the water bath straightforward at the end of service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHinging, interlocked elements simplify access for cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA high-temperature safety cut-out protects the unit if the water bath runs dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing electric, the OE8406 does not require a gas supply or a direct flue connection, which simplifies installation in many kitchens. It will, however, require an appropriate dedicated electrical supply — the power demand of a unit at this performance level means this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before installation. Adequate ventilation above the grill is still necessary given the smoke and vapour produced during normal operation, so a suitable extraction canopy should be in place.

The water bath helps retain moisture in meat and fish, which reduces shrinkage and improves plate presentation — a practical advantage when throughput is consistent and product yield matters.

It uses infrared ceramic plaque burners to generate intense, even radiant heat across a large cooking surface, producing the branded marks and chargrilled flavour that characterise this style of cooking. It sits at the serious end of the commercial chargrill market, designed for kitchens where the grill is a core part of the menu rather than an occasional addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a busy service environment, the OG8403 comes into its own. The ceramic infrared burners reach cooking temperature quickly, which reduces the time between switch-on and readiness — useful when service times are tight. The wide cooking surface allows multiple covers to be worked simultaneously, and the individually controlled heat zones mean different proteins or vegetables can be managed at different intensities across the same unit without one section affecting another. During quieter periods, individual burners can be turned to standby rather than shut off completely, which avoids prolonged heat-up delays when demand picks up again and helps manage gas consumption across a shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, the practical features are worth noting:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible branding grids provide an uninterrupted cooking surface and extend the usable life of the grids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe radiant design encourages controlled flaring, which contributes to the characteristic chargrilled result without excessive flare-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge debris collection drawers beneath the burners can be part-filled with water to make end-of-service cleaning more straightforward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe one-piece stainless steel splashguard is removable for thorough cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a suitable natural gas or LPG connection — confirm which fuel type before ordering as the unit must be configured accordingly.

It uses heat-transfer radiants rather than lava rock to produce the intense, direct heat needed for chargrilling — removing the maintenance and mess that lava rock systems tend to bring with them. The cooking grid sits above the radiants and can be adjusted in height, giving the operator control over cooking intensity and the degree of char on different food types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a working kitchen the CG6 performs well across a broad range of menu items — steaks, chicken portions, fish, vegetables and pressed burgers all benefit from the direct radiant heat and the characteristic branding marks the cooking grid produces. Twin heat zones allow different proteins or items requiring different temperatures to be handled simultaneously, which is genuinely useful during busy covers when the grill needs to work across multiple orders at once.
