Blue Seal GP516-LS 900mm Gas Griddle on Stand

The Blue Seal GP516-LS is a 900mm wide freestanding gas griddle built around a machined steel cooking plate. Mounted on an open stand, it operates as a self-contained unit without needing to be integrated into a cooking suite, though it sits comfortably alongside other 900mm modular equipment where a cooking line is being assembled. The open stand keeps the footprint simple and the unit straightforward to position.

The thick steel plate is the defining characteristic of this griddle. It holds heat across the full cooking surface with good consistency and recovers well when cold product is loaded in volume — both of which matter during a busy service when multiple portions are running simultaneously. Thermostat control allows the operator to set a stable plate temperature for different menu items, and piezo ignition with flame failure protection keeps operation practical and safe in a working kitchen environment.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages:

• Thick steel plate reduces temperature variation across the cooking surface
• Good heat recovery when loading cold ingredients during sustained service
• Thermostat control supports consistent results across different menu items
• Rear castors and front legs allow repositioning and easier deep cleaning access
• Compatible with natural gas or LPG — specify at point of order

Installation requires a gas supply — natural gas or LPG depending on your site — connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The 900mm width will take up a meaningful section of cooking line, so extraction coverage and floor space should be confirmed before ordering. The open stand provides no undercounter storage, which is worth considering if your kitchen relies on that space. The rear castors are a practical feature for kitchens that need to move equipment regularly for thorough cleaning.

This griddle is well suited to independent restaurants, pub kitchens, burger operations, and catering businesses where flat-top cooking makes up a significant part of the menu. It handles mid-to-high volume service reliably. For very high-throughput operations or sites that need a wider cooking surface, it is worth exploring a heavier-duty or larger model before committing to this one.
