Lincat GS6/TFR Electric Fully Ribbed Steel Plate Griddle

The Lincat GS6/TFR is an electric countertop griddle fitted with a fully ribbed, machined steel plate. The ribbed surface produces char marks during cooking — a practical alternative to a separate chargrill for meats, fish, vegetables, and panini-style products where presentation lines are part of the finished dish. It sits within Lincat's established range of steel plate griddles, built to the standard of construction the brand has maintained from its UK manufacturing base since 1971.

The machined steel plate is designed to distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface, reducing the risk of hot spots that cause inconsistent results during a busy service. Two independently controlled temperature zones allow the operator to run different temperatures at the same time — useful when cooking a mix of proteins and vegetables in parallel, or when holding one zone at a lower standby temperature during quieter periods to avoid unnecessary energy draw.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the GS6/TFR offers some practical advantages worth noting:

• Ribbed surface delivers char marks without a separate chargrill taking up additional bench space
• Dual zone control supports varied menu output from a single piece of equipment
• Thermostatically controlled zones help hold consistent temperatures throughout service
• Fully welded plate construction reduces crevices, making end-of-service cleaning more manageable
• Electric operation suits kitchens without gas supply or where gas infrastructure is limited

Being electric, installation is generally more straightforward than gas alternatives. That said, supply requirements should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before purchase — particularly where the griddle is being added to an existing bank of equipment and circuit capacity needs checking. As with any griddle, adequate overhead extraction or a canopy will be required to meet ventilation standards.

The GS6/TFR is well suited to small and medium-volume operations — cafés, pub kitchens, hotel breakfast services, and smaller restaurant settings — where a ribbed cooking surface is needed regularly but bench space is at a premium. Sites running very high continuous volumes of grilled product across a long service may find a heavier-duty model with a larger cooking area a more appropriate fit for their throughput demands.
