Product Description
The Lincat GS6 is an electric griddle fitted with a solid machined steel cooking plate. It sits within Lincat's established range of countertop cooking equipment and is designed for kitchens that need a reliable, easy-to-manage griddle without unnecessary complexity. The steel plate surface makes it well suited to a broad range of foods — burgers, bacon, eggs, fish fillets, and similar items that benefit from direct contact with a flat, even cooking surface.
In a working kitchen, consistency across the plate matters. The 12mm machined steel plate on the GS6 distributes heat evenly, reducing the risk of hot spots that can cause uneven cooking during a busy service. Thermostatically controlled via a rotary dial, operators can set and hold the temperature they need without constant adjustment. During quieter periods, the thermostat also helps avoid unnecessary energy use — a practical consideration in any kitchen watching running costs.
From an operational standpoint, the GS6 offers several day-to-day advantages:
- Fully welded plate construction removes crevices where grease and food debris can collect
- Thermostatically controlled temperature for consistent cooking results across service
- Straightforward rotary controls that require minimal training to operate
- Machined steel surface retains heat well during continuous use
- Compact countertop footprint suits kitchens where space is at a premium
As an electric unit, the GS6 requires a suitable electrical supply and does not need a gas connection or additional ventilation beyond what your kitchen already has in place. It is worth confirming that your existing power supply can accommodate the load before installation, and that the unit will be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around it.
The GS6 is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, and similar operations running a moderate breakfast or all-day menu. It is a practical choice where griddle output is needed regularly but the volume does not justify a larger or dual-zone unit. For higher-volume sites — such as busy quick-service operations or hotel kitchens running continuous service — a heavier-duty or wider griddle may be a better fit. Equally, if your menu involves a lot of delicate fish or items where a chrome surface would be preferable, it is worth considering the alternatives in the Lincat range.
If you are unsure whether the GS6 matches your service volume or kitchen setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The GS6 is well suited to moderate-volume operations such as cafés, pub kitchens, and small restaurants. For sites running continuous high-volume service — particularly where the griddle is in near-constant use across a full shift — a wider or more heavily rated unit may provide more capacity and resilience. If you are unsure whether the GS6 is the right size for your throughput, it is worth speaking with us before ordering.
- As an electric griddle, the GS6 requires a suitable electrical supply rated to handle its load — it is important to confirm your existing circuit can accommodate this before installation. No gas connection is required, and it does not typically need extraction beyond your kitchen's existing ventilation. The unit should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance from walls and other equipment.
- Steel plate griddles are a practical, durable choice for most everyday griddle work — burgers, bacon, eggs, and similar items — and the surface is straightforward to maintain. Chrome plate surfaces tend to be preferred where operators are cooking more delicate items such as fish, or where they want a slightly easier clean between services. If you are not certain which surface suits your menu best, we can help you decide.
