Product Description
The Lincat GS4/C is an electric griddle finished with a chrome plated cooking surface. It is designed for use in commercial kitchens where consistent, controllable cooking across a flat surface is a daily requirement. The chrome plate sits on a solid machined steel base, which supports even heat distribution across the cooking area and helps prevent localised hot spots that can affect food quality.
In a working kitchen, the chrome surface offers a practical advantage over bare steel — it tends to release food more readily, making it well suited to cooking delicate proteins, eggs, pancakes, and other items that would otherwise stick or colour unevenly. The surface also responds well to temperature management, which matters during a busy service when the griddle is constantly in use. Two independently controlled cooking zones allow the operator to run different temperatures simultaneously, which is useful when working across multiple menu items or managing quieter periods without running the full plate at maximum heat.
From an operational standpoint, the key benefits include:
- Two-zone thermostatic control for precise temperature management across the plate
- Chrome surface reduces sticking and supports a broader cooking repertoire
- Fully welded plate construction eliminates gaps where grease and debris can accumulate
- Easier and faster to clean down at the end of service than ribbed or open alternatives
- Electric operation removes the need for gas supply or LPG infrastructure
As an electric unit, the GS4/C requires a suitable power supply and should be installed by a qualified electrician. It is designed for countertop use on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and adequate clearance to surrounding equipment should be maintained. Ventilation above the unit should be considered as part of kitchen extraction planning.
This griddle is well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, and similar operations running a regular breakfast or all-day menu. It is a practical choice where gas is not available or not preferred. For sites with very high throughput or a need for a larger cooking area, a higher-capacity model in the Lincat range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your kitchen or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Chrome is generally preferred for foods that benefit from a less aggressive cooking surface — eggs, fish, pancakes, and delicate proteins are good examples. It releases food more cleanly than bare steel and tends to colour food more gently. For operations running a breakfast or café-style menu, chrome is often the more practical choice.
- The GS4/C is an electric countertop unit and requires connection to a suitable power supply by a qualified electrician. It should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around it, and kitchen extraction should be assessed to handle the heat output during service. There is no gas connection required.
- Each zone is controlled independently via its own thermostat, so you can hold different temperatures across the plate at the same time. In practice, this allows you to run a hot section for searing while keeping a cooler zone for holding or finishing, and during quieter periods you can reduce heat to one zone to save energy without switching off the unit entirely.
