Product Description
The Lincat GS4/C is an electric countertop griddle with a chrome plated cooking surface. It is designed for commercial kitchens that need a flat, controllable cooking surface for daily service — breakfast menus, all-day operations, or any kitchen where consistency across the plate directly affects food quality and presentation.
Chrome behaves differently to bare steel in a working kitchen. Food releases more readily from the surface, which makes it particularly well suited to eggs, pancakes, delicate proteins, and other ingredients that can suffer on a more reactive surface. The chrome also responds well to temperature changes during a busy service, where cooking conditions are rarely constant. Two independently controlled zones allow the operator to hold different temperatures across the plate at the same time — a useful arrangement when working across a varied menu, or when only part of the plate is needed during quieter periods.
From a practical operational standpoint:
- Two-zone thermostatic control allows varied cooking temperatures across the plate simultaneously
- Chrome surface reduces sticking and suits a wider range of ingredients than bare steel
- Fully welded plate construction minimises joints where grease and debris can accumulate
- Electric operation suits sites without gas supply or where gas is not preferred
- Straightforward to clean down after service
As an electric unit, the GS4/C requires connection to a suitable power supply and should be installed by a qualified electrician. It is designed for countertop use on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around it. Extraction above the cooking position should be included in ventilation planning.
This griddle suits cafés, hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, and similar operations running a regular breakfast or all-day menu — particularly where gas infrastructure is not available. For kitchens handling significantly higher throughput or requiring a larger cooking area, a heavier-duty model may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your service pattern or kitchen setup, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — chrome plated griddles are commonly used for breakfast service because the surface handles eggs, pancakes, bacon, and similar items well, with less sticking than bare steel. The two-zone control also helps when managing multiple items with different heat requirements at the same time.
- The GS4/C needs to be connected to a suitable electrical supply by a qualified electrician and positioned on a stable, heat-resistant countertop with adequate clearance around it. You should also ensure adequate extraction is in place above the cooking position as part of your kitchen ventilation setup.
- This griddle is well suited to cafés, smaller hotel kitchens, and pub restaurants with a regular but not exceptionally high-volume breakfast or all-day menu. If you are running a high-turnover service or need a larger cooking area to maintain throughput, it is worth speaking to us — there are heavier-duty options that may be a better fit.
