The Lincat LGR is a countertop electric griddle built around a one-piece cast iron cooking plate. Cast iron is a well-established material choice for commercial griddles — it holds heat effectively, distributes it evenly across the surface, and recovers well when cold food is loaded onto it. For operators who need consistent results across the full plate rather than localised hot spots that compromise cook quality, it remains a reliable and proven option.

Even heat distribution matters in a working kitchen. Whether you are cooking burgers, bacon, eggs, or flatbreads, the cast iron plate helps maintain a consistent output during service. The thermostatic rotary control allows temperature to be set and held, which also means the plate is not running hotter than necessary during quieter periods — a practical consideration for both energy use and food quality.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the LGR offers several practical advantages:

  • Even heat across the full plate surface reduces inconsistent cook results
  • Thermostat control lets operators match temperature to the food being cooked
  • One-piece plate simplifies cleaning between and after service
  • Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or gas safety certification
  • Low-profile countertop design suits kitchens with limited overhead clearance

Installation is straightforward relative to gas alternatives — no gas connection, no flue, and no gas safety sign-off required for the appliance itself. You will need an appropriate electrical supply and adequate countertop space. As with any griddle, extraction ventilation above the cooking position is required to manage steam and grease-laden air in line with kitchen hygiene and building regulations.

The LGR is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and similar operations with moderate griddle throughput. If your service volume is consistently high, or the griddle is functioning as a primary cooking surface across a broad menu, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or wider-plate model would be a better long-term fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this griddle suits your kitchen setup and service style, we are happy to help before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is the LGR suitable for a high-volume breakfast or brunch service?

The LGR performs well in cafés and smaller operations with moderate throughput, but if breakfast is a core, high-volume part of your trade and the griddle will be in near-continuous use across a long service, a heavier-duty or wider-plate model may be a more practical long-term choice. It is worth having a conversation with us about your expected covers and service pattern before deciding.

What are the installation requirements for the Lincat LGR?

Being electric, the LGR requires no gas connection, no flue, and no gas safety certification for the appliance itself — you simply need an appropriate electrical supply and sufficient countertop space. Like any commercial griddle, it should be positioned beneath suitable extraction ventilation to manage grease-laden air and steam in line with current kitchen hygiene and building regulations.

How does cast iron compare to a smooth steel plate on a commercial griddle?

Cast iron is particularly valued for its ability to hold and distribute heat evenly, which helps deliver consistent results across the full cooking surface and maintains temperature more effectively when cold food is loaded. Smooth steel plates typically heat up more quickly and can be easier to season and maintain for certain cooking styles, so the best choice often depends on the menu and volume you are working with.
