Product Description
The Lincat GS3 is a countertop electric griddle built around a solid machined steel cooking plate. It is designed for the consistent demands of a working commercial kitchen — suited to breakfast service, burgers, sandwiches, fish, and other flat-griddled items. Steel plate is a well-established choice in professional kitchens where uniform sear and reliable surface temperature matter more than the high-reflectivity finish of chrome plate.
In service, the thick machined plate distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, reducing the risk of hot spots that can produce inconsistent results during a busy period. The thermostatically controlled rotary knob lets the operator dial in the right temperature for the product being cooked and pull back during quieter spells — a sensible way to manage energy use across a long shift without interrupting workflow.
The fully welded plate construction is a practical advantage in any kitchen environment. Joints and seams are common collection points for grease and food debris; eliminating them makes end-of-service cleaning more straightforward and supports better hygiene standards over time. Key operational advantages include:
- Fully welded plate with no seams or joints to trap grease
- Even heat distribution for consistent results across the cooking surface
- Thermostatically controlled temperature via simple rotary knob
- Electric operation with no gas connection required
- Compact countertop footprint for bench or cooking suite installation
Being electric, the GS3 does not need a gas supply or dedicated flue, though it should be positioned within reach of adequate overhead extraction. Circuit capacity at the intended installation point should be confirmed before ordering, and the supporting surface needs to be sufficiently robust to take the weight of a solid steel plate unit.
The GS3 is well suited to smaller restaurants, cafés, pub kitchens, and hospitality operations where a reliable, no-frills electric griddle is needed without a large footprint. It suits operators cooking to order rather than batch-cooking at high volume. For sites running very high covers or extended continuous service, a larger or heavier-duty griddle may be the more appropriate choice.
If you are weighing up plate type, output capacity, or how this unit fits into your existing setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The GS3 performs reliably for moderate-volume cooking to order — a busy café breakfast service or a pub kitchen running lunches, for example. For sites pushing very high covers continuously across a long service period, a larger or heavier-duty griddle with a bigger cooking surface is likely to be the more practical choice, and it is worth discussing your expected throughput with the team before deciding.
- The GS3 is electric, so there is no gas supply, gas pipework, or dedicated flue required. You will need to confirm that the circuit at the intended installation point has sufficient capacity for the unit before ordering. It should be positioned beneath adequate overhead extraction, and the bench or surface it sits on needs to be sturdy enough to support the weight of a solid steel plate griddle.
- Steel plate is the preferred choice in kitchens where a strong, consistent sear is the priority — burgers, bacon, eggs, and similar items benefit from the surface characteristics steel provides. Chrome plate tends to be favoured where a cleaner, lighter finish is needed, such as for delicate fish or where presentation is a higher consideration. If you are unsure which plate type is right for your menu, it is worth a conversation before you order.
