Overview

Blue Seal E516A-B Evolution Series 900mm Electric Griddle Cooktop - Bench Model

The Blue Seal E516A-B Evolution Series is a 900mm electric griddle cooktop designed for high-volume commercial kitchens. Built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it features three 3.4kW radiant elements beneath a 20mm smooth mild steel griddle plate, delivering consistent, controllable heat across a generous 892 x 530mm cooking surface. Each 300mm griddle section is independently governed by a 50-320°C thermostat with dedicated power and heating indicator lights, giving chefs precise zone control during service.

Engineered for demanding environments, the E516A-B sits on four stainless steel legs with adjustable feet and two additional rollers for straightforward repositioning and levelling. Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with clear, non-fade markings allow subtle heat adjustments from simmer to full output without the need for frequent replacement. The bench model configuration suits modular suite installations or standalone benchtop use, and the 165mm splashback, easy-clean surfaces, and accessible design keep maintenance time to a minimum between services.

Key Benefits

• Three independently controlled 300mm griddle zones let you run different temperatures simultaneously, reducing the need to move food around during busy service.
• A 20mm smooth mild steel griddle plate retains heat evenly and recovers quickly after cold food is loaded, keeping cook times consistent.
• Per-zone indicator lights for power and heating give kitchen staff instant visual confirmation that each section is active and up to temperature.
• Adjustable leg feet and two additional rollers make it easy to level the unit on uneven floors and reposition it for cleaning or reconfiguration.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with non-fade markings withstand daily heavy use and reduce the frequency and cost of knob replacement.
• The 165mm splashback protects walls and adjacent equipment, while the straightforward design streamlines daily cleaning and periodic servicing.
• Optional hot plate elements provide cooking surface flexibility when a different heat transfer method is needed for specific menu items.
• A freestanding bench model format integrates neatly into modular Evolution Series suites or operates as a standalone unit on existing benchtops.
