Product Description
The Blue Seal EP514-LS is a freestanding 600mm electric griddle designed for consistent, sustained use in commercial kitchens. It is built around a thick machined steel plate heated by three stainless steel sheathed elements, each with its own thermostat, allowing operators to maintain separate temperature zones across the cooking surface simultaneously. The open stand integrates neatly into a modular cooking suite or works equally well as a standalone unit.
The machined steel plate is the key to this griddle's performance in service. Good plate thickness means heat is retained well when portions are loaded, so recovery is steady rather than slow. During a busy breakfast or lunch service — where the surface may be loaded and reloaded repeatedly — that consistency matters. The individually controlled zones also give the kitchen team genuine flexibility, allowing different proteins, eggs, or bread products to run at appropriate temperatures at the same time without compromising either.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:
- Three independently controlled zones for simultaneous multi-temperature cooking
- Even heat distribution across the full plate reduces inconsistent results at peak
- Safety overheat cut-out offers protection during high-load or extended service periods
- Enamelled control panel cleans down quickly at the end of service
- Front legs and rear castors allow the unit to be repositioned without difficulty
Installation is simpler than a comparable gas unit — there is no gas supply, regulator, or flue to consider — but the combined element load does require an adequate electrical supply, and it is worth verifying your kitchen's circuit capacity before ordering. Like any griddle operating at high surface temperatures, sensible ventilation provision above the unit is advisable regardless of whether a full extraction canopy is in place.
This griddle is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, hotel breakfast services, and mid-volume restaurant operations looking for a reliable flat-plate electric griddle. For sites running very high continuous throughput, a wider cooking surface or higher-output unit may be worth considering to avoid the plate being under sustained overload during peak periods.
If you would like to talk through whether this model suits your kitchen's volume and electrical setup, our team is glad to help before you go ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It performs reliably in mid-to-high-volume breakfast service — cafés, hotel kitchens, and pub operations typically find the 600mm plate and three-zone control well matched to their throughput. For very high-volume sites turning over large quantities continuously across a long service period, it is worth discussing whether a wider or more powerful unit would better match the demand before committing.
- The unit requires a dedicated electrical supply capable of supporting the combined load of the three heating elements. Before ordering, it is important to confirm that your kitchen's existing supply and circuit protection are adequate for the load — your electrician or our team can advise if you are unsure of your current capacity.
- A commercial extraction canopy is strongly recommended for any griddle in a professional kitchen environment — it manages grease-laden vapour, heat, and odour generated during cooking. While the electric operation removes flue requirements associated with gas, adequate ventilation above the unit remains an important practical consideration for both comfort and compliance with kitchen hygiene standards.
