Lincat GS6/TFR Electric Fully Ribbed Steel Plate Griddle

The Lincat GS6/TFR is an electric countertop griddle fitted with a fully ribbed, machined steel plate. The ribbed surface produces char lines during cooking, making it a practical choice for meats, fish, vegetables, and panini-style products where presentation marks are part of the finished dish. It sits within Lincat's established range of steel plate griddles and is built to the standard of construction the brand has maintained from its UK manufacturing base since 1971.

Consistency across the cooking surface is important in any busy service. The machined steel plate is designed to distribute heat evenly, reducing the risk of hot spots that cause uneven cooking or burning. Two independently controlled temperature zones allow the operator to run different temperatures simultaneously — useful when cooking a mix of proteins and vegetables during the same service, or when one zone can be held at a lower standby temperature during quieter periods to reduce unnecessary energy draw.

From a practical standpoint, the GS6/TFR offers a number of day-to-day operational advantages:

• Fully welded plate construction minimises crevices, making end-of-service cleaning more straightforward
• Ribbed surface delivers char marks without needing a separate chargrill or salamander
• Dual zone control supports varied menu output from a single piece of equipment
• Thermostatically controlled zones help maintain consistent temperatures throughout service
• Electric operation suits kitchens without gas supply or where gas infrastructure is limited

Being electric, installation is generally more straightforward than gas alternatives, though supply requirements should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before purchase — particularly if the griddle is being added to an existing bank of equipment and circuit capacity needs checking. As with any griddle, adequate overhead extraction or a canopy will be required. The unit's footprint makes it suitable for countertop positioning within a cooking suite or on a suitable stand.

The GS6/TFR is well suited to small and medium-volume operations — cafés, pub kitchens, hotel breakfast services, and smaller restaurant settings — where a ribbed cooking surface is needed regularly but bench space is limited. Sites running very high continuous volumes of grilled product through a long service may find a heavier-duty model with a larger cooking area a better fit for their throughput.
