Product Description
The Blue Seal EP514-LS is a freestanding 600mm electric griddle built around a machined steel plate heated by three independently controlled elements. Each element has its own thermostat, allowing the cooking surface to be divided into separate temperature zones that run simultaneously. The open stand means it can be positioned as a standalone unit or integrated into a modular cooking suite without difficulty.
Machined steel plate construction is what makes this griddle reliable under sustained service pressure. The plate holds heat well when portions are loaded in quick succession, so recovery between loads is steady rather than erratic. During a busy breakfast or brunch service — where the surface is loaded and reloaded continuously — that thermal consistency keeps output predictable. The three-zone arrangement also gives the kitchen team genuine flexibility, allowing eggs, proteins, and bread products to run at appropriate temperatures at the same time without interference between zones.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:
- Three independently controlled zones for simultaneous multi-temperature cooking
- Even heat retention across the plate reduces inconsistent results during peak periods
- Safety overheat cut-out provides protection during extended or high-load service
- Enamelled control panel wipes down quickly at end of service
- Front legs and rear castors allow repositioning without removing the unit from service
Installation is more straightforward than a comparable gas griddle — there is no gas supply, regulator, or flue requirement — but the combined element load does place a meaningful demand on your electrical circuit. It is worth confirming your kitchen's supply capacity with your electrician before the unit arrives. Ventilation above the cooking position is advisable regardless, as any griddle operating at high surface temperatures will generate heat and vapour during service.
This model is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens, and mid-volume restaurant services that need a dependable flat-plate electric griddle within a compact footprint. For sites running very high continuous throughput across a full service period, a wider or higher-output unit may be worth considering to avoid the plate being under sustained overload at peak.
If you would like to talk through whether this griddle is the right fit for your kitchen's volume and electrical setup, our team is happy to help before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The EP514-LS performs reliably in café and hotel breakfast environments where the surface is loaded and reloaded consistently throughout service. For very high-volume sites running continuous throughput across a full service period — such as large hotel banqueting kitchens — a wider cooking surface would give you more capacity and reduce the risk of the plate being under sustained overload at peak. If you are unsure which output level matches your covers, it is worth speaking to us before ordering.
- The unit runs on a three-phase electrical supply and draws a meaningful combined load across its three elements. Before ordering, we would recommend confirming your kitchen's circuit capacity with a qualified electrician to ensure the existing supply can accommodate the load without requiring significant infrastructure work.
- Any griddle operating at high surface temperatures will produce heat and cooking vapour during service, so sensible ventilation above the unit is advisable regardless of setup. A proper extraction canopy is the standard commercial solution, and in many cases a legal requirement under local authority guidelines — your kitchen ventilation installer or environmental health officer will be able to advise on the specific requirements for your premises.
