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 and mounted on an open stand. It operates as a self-contained unit, making it straightforward to position without integrating into a full cooking suite, though it sits comfortably alongside other 900mm modular equipment where a cooking line is being built out.

The thick steel plate is central to how this griddle performs in practice. 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 sustained service when multiple portions are running simultaneously. Thermostat control allows the operator to maintain a stable plate temperature suited to different menu items, and piezo ignition with flame failure protection keeps day-to-day operation practical and safe.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several reliable advantages:

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

Installation requires a gas supply connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The 900mm width takes up a significant section of any cooking line, so extraction coverage and available floor space should be confirmed before ordering. The open stand provides no undercounter storage, which is worth factoring in if your kitchen relies on that space. The rear castors are a practical consideration for sites where equipment is moved regularly for thorough cleaning.

This griddle is well suited to independent restaurants, pub kitchens, burger operations, and catering businesses where flat-top cooking is central to the menu. It handles mid-to-high volume service reliably. For very high-throughput sites or those requiring a wider cooking surface, it is worth considering a heavier-duty or larger-format model before committing.
