Lincat GS6/TR Electric Half Ribbed Steel Plate Griddle

The Lincat GS6/TR is an electric countertop griddle with a machined steel cooking plate split into two distinct zones — one flat, one ribbed. This dual-surface layout allows operators to cook different items at the same time without needing separate equipment, which makes it a practical choice for kitchens where the menu calls for both flat-cooked and char-marked results within the same service.

The machined steel plate is thick enough to hold heat effectively during busy periods, recovering temperature reasonably well after cold product is loaded. Each half of the plate is governed by its own thermostat control, so the flat and ribbed zones can be run at different temperatures independently. This is useful both for menu flexibility and for managing energy use during quieter periods when one side is not required. The fully welded plate construction means there are no hidden joins or crevices where grease and food debris can accumulate, which makes end-of-service cleaning more manageable than it might otherwise be.

In operational terms, the key advantages of this configuration include:

• Independent thermostat zones for precise temperature control on each surface
• Ribbed plate produces char marks without a separate chargrill unit
• Fully welded construction simplifies daily cleaning and reduces debris traps
• Countertop format suits cooking line or pass positions in smaller kitchens
• Dual-zone control supports reduced energy use during variable-demand periods

As an electric unit, it requires a suitable power supply at the correct specification for your site. Confirm your supply capacity before ordering. Adequate extraction above the cooking position is also necessary — factor this into placement when positioning the unit on the line. Allow sufficient access around and beneath the unit for routine cleaning.

This griddle is well suited to small to medium-volume operations — cafés, pubs, bistros, and hotel kitchens — where the menu requires both flat and ribbed cooking surfaces but space or budget does not support two separate units. For operations running high-volume continuous grill or breakfast service, a larger or heavier-duty model may be worth considering to meet throughput demands.
