Lincat GS7/R Electric Half Ribbed Steel Plate Griddle

The Lincat GS7/R is an electric countertop griddle with a split cooking surface machined from solid steel plate — one smooth half and one ribbed half. That configuration allows a kitchen to run two distinct cooking styles from a single unit: flat-plate cooking for eggs, pancakes, and delicate items on one side, and ribbed cooking for burgers, chicken breasts, and anything where char marks and fat drainage matter on the other.

In a busy service environment, the thick machined steel plate earns its keep. Dense steel retains heat effectively when food loads hit the surface, helping to maintain consistent cooking temperatures through sustained service rather than dipping sharply and recovering between batches. Each half has its own thermostat, so both zones can be dialled to different temperatures simultaneously — practical when the two surfaces are handling items with genuinely different heat requirements, and useful for reducing energy draw by turning one section back during quieter periods.

The fully welded plate construction removes the joins and seams found on lesser-built units, which tend to trap grease and debris over time. That makes end-of-service cleaning more straightforward and reduces the risk of build-up that affects both hygiene and long-term cooking performance.

• Dual independent temperature zones for simultaneous different-heat cooking
• Smooth and ribbed sections on one plate — no need for two separate units
• Welded plate construction with no grease-trapping seams
• Independent thermostat control supports energy management between services
• Electric operation — no gas supply or interlock ventilation system required

Being electric, the GS7/R is straightforward to position and connect provided the correct electrical supply is available at the counter. It does not require a gas interlock system or dedicated flue, which makes it a practical option where gas infrastructure is limited or where countertop flexibility matters. It is worth confirming the supply specification with your installation team before ordering.

This griddle is well suited to cafés, pubs, hotel kitchens, and casual dining operations running a mid-volume breakfast or lunch service. For sites running extended service periods at consistently high throughput, a heavier-duty or larger-format griddle may be worth considering. Equally, smaller operations with limited counter space may find a compact single-zone unit a better fit.

If you would like to talk through whether the GS7/R suits your service volume and kitchen setup before committing, the team at Advantage Catering Equipment is happy to have that conversation.
