Overview

Blue Seal E512S-B Evolution Series 300mm Electric Cooktop Sealed Hobs – Bench Model

The Blue Seal E512S-B is a compact 300mm bench model electric cooktop from the Evolution Series, purpose-built for commercial kitchens, cafés, food kiosks, and hospitality venues where reliable cooking performance is required in a tight footprint. Fitted with two 2.6 kW sealed cast iron hot plate elements, it delivers consistent, even heat across a range of cooking tasks including boiling, simmering, sautéing, and pan cooking, all on a single-phase power supply.

Constructed from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel with an aluminised steel internal construction, the E512S-B is designed for long-term durability and easy day-to-day maintenance. Its bench model format allows flexible placement on existing benchtops, equipment stands, or refrigeration bases, making it a practical choice for modular kitchen layouts or operations where floor space is limited.

Key Benefits

• Compact 300mm width makes it well suited to smaller kitchens, food kiosks, and modular cooking setups without sacrificing usable cooking area.
• Sealed cast iron hot plate elements prevent spills and food debris from reaching internal components, improving hygiene and reducing cleaning time.
