  • Pros: The griddle plate offers fantastic, even heat distribution for consistent results.
  • Cons: Needs a 3-phase supply, so you'll need a sparky for the installation.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Saltwater Kitchen, a popular seaside café in Brighton, East Sussex, was struggling to keep up with breakfast and  lunch orders from a single, ageing range. They needed more cooking flexibility but had very limited space for new equipment.

"The Blue Seal combi unit was the perfect fit for our countertop. We can now have the breakfast grill going while the pans are on for lunch prep. It’s streamlined our whole morning service and  the chefs are much happier."

Robert Davies – Owner

The addition of the cooktop helped them reduce average customer wait times by 25% during peak weekend service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit is 3-phase and  must be hardwired by a qualified commercial electrician.
  • Place it on a flat, stable, and  non-combustible countertop.
  • Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
  • Use the adjustable feet to make sure the cooktop is perfectly level before first use.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces daily with a damp cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Clean the griddle plate while it's still warm (not hot!) using a scraper and  appropriate griddle cleaner.
  • Never use harsh abrasive pads or caustic chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
  • Regularly check and  tighten the control knobs if they become loose over time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cooktop

Not sure which cooktop is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider.

Gas vs. Electric

Electric cooktops, like this Blue Seal Evolution electric cooktop, offer incredibly consistent and  even heat, whereas gas provides instant visual feedback and  response.

Countertop vs. Freestanding

Countertop models are brilliant for saving space, adding flexibility to an existing kitchen, or for mobile catering setups.

Check Your Power

Always check the power requirements. A standard 13A plug is simple, but high-power units often need a 3-phase supply installed by an electrician.

Surface Matters

Radiant elements offer a great blend of speed and  durability. They work with any flat-bottomed pan, unlike induction which requires specific cookware.

Combination Units

If you need both hobs and  a flat-top grill, a commercial electric cooktop 600mm with a griddle can save you space and  the cost of two separate machines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a radiant element cooktop?

A: It's a type of electric cooktop where heating elements under a smooth ceramic or cast iron top glow red hot to heat the pan. They are fast, powerful, and  easy to clean.

Q: Can I use my existing pots and  pans on this?

A: Yes, unlike induction hobs, radiant elements work with any type of flat-bottomed pan, including copper, aluminium, and  stainless steel.

Q: How do I clean the griddle?

A: It's best cleaned while still warm. Use a griddle scraper to remove food debris, then a griddle stone or pad with a small amount of oil to season and  protect it.

Q: Are the hob and  griddle controlled separately?

A: Yes, each of the two hobs and  the griddle has its own independent control knob, so you can run them at different temperatures simultaneously.

Q: Can the griddle be on the left-hand side instead?

A: This E514C-B model is configured with the griddle on the right-hand side as standard.

Q: Is this unit portable?

A: While it is a countertop model, it weighs 70kg and  requires hardwiring, so it's designed to be professionally installed in a fixed position.

Q: What does '3-phase power' mean?

A: It's a type of electrical supply common in commercial properties that can deliver more power than a standard single-phase household supply. It requires installation by a qualified electrician.

Q: How durable are the control knobs?

A: They are heavy-duty, reinforced knobs specifically designed for the demands of a commercial kitchen and  constant use.

How Radiant Elements Give You Pinpoint Heat Control

Ever used an old electric hob that’s either off or scorching hot, with nothing in between? That’s where radiant elements with energy regulators come in. Unlike basic hotplates, these elements are hidden beneath a smooth, tough surface and  heat up very quickly. The magic is in the ‘energy regulator’ control knob.

Think of it less like a switch and  more like the dimmer on a light. Instead of just ‘low, medium, high,’ it gives you a whole spectrum of heat to play with. You can dial in the perfect gentle heat to melt butter without it burning, or crank it right up for a powerful sear. This precision stops you from constantly moving pans on and  off the heat, giving you more control, more consistency, and  ultimately, better food.

    Perfect for whipping up full English breakfasts and  toasted sandwiches during the morning rush, all on one machine.
