Lincat GS3/C Electric Chrome Plate Griddle

The Lincat GS3/C is an electric griddle fitted with a chrome-plated cooking surface. Chrome plate is a popular choice in commercial kitchens where a smooth, non-reactive surface matters — it is commonly used for eggs, fish, delicate proteins, and anything where sticking or colour transfer from a steel plate would be a concern. The plate is machined to a consistent thickness to support even heat distribution, and the fully welded construction removes the joints and crevices that can trap grease and food debris over time.

In a working kitchen, the thermostatically controlled rotary dial allows operators to set and hold a consistent plate temperature throughout a service period. The chrome surface reaches working temperature efficiently and holds it steadily once up to heat, making it reliable through a busy lunch or dinner service without requiring the plate to run at full output continuously. Temperature can be reduced during quieter periods, which helps manage energy consumption through a long shift.

The key practical advantages from an operational standpoint are:

• Chrome plate resists staining and suits delicate or high-turnover menu items
• Fully welded plate edges reduce cleaning time and limit bacterial harborage points
• Thermostat control supports consistent results and avoids unnecessary energy use
• Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or gas safety checks at point of installation

As an electric unit, an appropriate power supply will need to be confirmed before ordering. The griddle does not require a gas connection, which gives more flexibility over positioning in kitchens where gas runs are limited. Like all griddles in regular commercial use, it benefits from correct placement under extraction to manage heat and steam output during service.

This unit is a practical choice for cafés, small restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations running moderate service volumes. The chrome plate specification makes it particularly well suited to operations where surface cleanliness and gentle cooking characteristics are priorities. For higher-volume sites or operations running continuous service across multiple cooking zones, a heavier-duty or wider model from the Lincat range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the chrome plate suits your menu or whether this unit fits your service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
