Lincat GS9 Electric Steel Plate Griddle | Commercial Griddle

The Lincat GS9 is a countertop electric griddle built for commercial kitchen use. It uses a machined steel cooking plate — a practical choice for operators cooking burgers, bacon, eggs, fish, and other items that benefit from direct contact with a flat, even surface. The fully welded construction means there are no hidden joins or recesses where grease and food debris can collect, which matters considerably when cleaning at the end of a busy service.

In a working kitchen, consistent plate temperature is central to cooking quality and throughput. The steel plate on the GS9 distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, which helps avoid the hot spots that can cause uneven browning and inconsistent results — particularly important when cooking to order during peak service periods. The thermostat gives operators direct control over plate temperature, making it straightforward to dial in the right heat for different menu items and to conserve energy during quieter periods.

From a practical standpoint, the GS9 offers a number of day-to-day operational advantages:

• Even heat distribution across the steel plate supports consistent cooking results
• Thermostat control allows temperature adjustment to suit different products
• Fully welded plate construction removes dirt traps and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Electric operation suits kitchens without a gas supply or where gas connections are limited
• Countertop format fits into compact kitchen layouts without requiring fixed installation

As an electric countertop unit, the GS9 requires a suitable power supply — operators should confirm the socket type and circuit capacity with their electrician before installation. It is not a gas appliance, so kitchens with gas griddles already in use should note this distinction. The unit sits on the countertop, meaning no extraction beyond standard kitchen ventilation is typically required, though cooking fats will produce smoke at higher temperatures and adequate ventilation is still advisable.

The GS9 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations where a reliable flat-plate electric griddle covers the core of the breakfast and light lunch menu. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands or larger cooking volumes, a wider or higher-output model may be worth considering.
