The Lincat LGR2 is a countertop electric griddle built around a one-piece cast iron cooking plate. Cast iron is a well-proven material for griddle work — it holds heat consistently across the surface and, once at working temperature, maintains that heat effectively even when food is loaded. This makes it a practical choice for operations cooking a steady flow of bacon, eggs, burgers, sandwiches, or similar items throughout service.

It is worth understanding the material characteristics before committing. Cast iron takes longer to reach working temperature than a thinner steel plate, but it rewards patience with stable, even heat distribution across the full cooking surface. It suits steady, moderate-throughput service well. Where immediate recovery after heavy loading is the priority — high-volume burger operations or continuous breakfast service at pace — a larger or heavier-duty unit is likely to be a better fit. The thermostat control allows operators to dial in a consistent working temperature and ease back during quieter periods, which helps manage energy use without shutting the griddle down entirely.

For smaller kitchen environments, the LGR2 offers several practical advantages:

  • Even heat across the plate reduces hot spots and inconsistent cooking results
  • Thermostat control supports consistent output across varied menu items
  • One-piece plate design simplifies cleaning at the end of service
  • Electric operation requires no gas supply, interlock, or flue connection
  • Low-profile countertop format fits comfortably on a standard preparation counter

Installation is straightforward. The main consideration is confirming that the electrical supply at the intended counter position is adequate. Overhead extraction should be in place to handle steam and cooking vapours, as with any countertop cooking equipment.

The LGR2 is well suited to cafés, small diners, hotel breakfast stations, and similar settings where griddle cooking forms a regular but not dominant part of the menu. If your service volume is higher, or if you need dual-zone temperature control or a ribbed surface option, other models in the range are worth exploring.

If you would like to talk through whether the LGR2 fits your kitchen and service pattern, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is the LGR2 suitable for a busy breakfast service or high-volume operation?

The LGR2 is well suited to moderate, steady-throughput service — a café, small diner, or hotel breakfast station where griddle cooking is a regular but not relentless part of the menu. Cast iron retains heat well once at temperature, but it recovers more slowly after heavy loading than a larger or higher-powered unit. If you are running a continuous, high-volume breakfast service or a busy burger operation, it is worth discussing a heavier-duty model with the team.

What are the installation requirements for the LGR2?

As an electric countertop unit, the LGR2 does not require a gas supply, interlock, or flue connection, which keeps installation relatively simple. The main practical step is confirming that the electrical supply at your intended counter position can support the unit's draw. You should also ensure adequate overhead extraction is in place to handle steam and cooking vapours during service.

How does a cast iron plate differ from a steel plate in day-to-day use?

Cast iron takes longer to come up to working temperature than a thinner steel plate, so it benefits from being switched on ahead of service. Once at temperature, it holds heat very consistently across the surface, which helps with even cooking results and reduces the need for constant adjustment. For operations where the griddle is on throughout a service period and loaded at a steady pace, cast iron performs reliably; where rapid heat recovery between large batches is critical, a different plate material or a higher-capacity unit may suit better.
