Lincat GS7 Steel Plate Gas Griddle

The Lincat GS7 is a gas-fired flat griddle built around a solid machined steel cooking plate. It is designed for continuous use in professional kitchens where consistent surface temperature and reliable throughput are the priority. Two independently controlled cooking zones allow operators to run different temperature settings across the same surface — useful when working with different proteins simultaneously, or when keeping one section at a lower holding temperature during quieter periods.

In a busy service environment, the thick machined steel plate performs well under sustained demand. Steel plate retains heat effectively and recovers quickly after cold product is loaded, which matters during peak covers when the griddle rarely gets a rest. The fully welded plate construction removes recessed joints and seams that would otherwise trap grease and food debris, making end-of-service cleaning more straightforward.

The practical advantages of this unit centre on control, consistency, and day-to-day usability:

• Dual-zone thermostatic control allows precise temperature management across the cooking surface
• Thick steel plate delivers stable, even heat distribution across the full width
• Fully welded construction reduces dirt traps and simplifies cleaning
• Gas operation provides immediate heat response, well suited to fast-paced service
• Independent zone control allows one section to be turned down when not in use

This is a gas appliance and will require connection to a suitable gas supply — either natural gas or LPG depending on your site configuration. Installation and commissioning must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Adequate extraction ventilation above the cooking position is essential, as griddles produce significant heat and vapour during service. The GS7 is a countertop unit, so a suitable cooking suite or fabricated bench at the correct working height is required before installation.

The GS7 is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotel kitchens, and fast-food operations running a regular volume of griddled items through service. It handles breakfast menus, burgers, fish, and similar fare reliably at a mid-range capacity level. For very high-throughput operations — large contract catering sites or high-volume burger concepts running continuous output — it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or wider unit would be more appropriate. Equally, for lower-volume sites or kitchens with limited bench space, a smaller model in the range may be a better fit.

If you are weighing up whether the GS7 suits your service volume or want to talk through your gas supply setup, the team are glad to help before you make a decision.
