Blue Seal EP516-RB Evolution Series 900mm Electric Griddle with Refrigerated Base

The Blue Seal EP516-RB Evolution Series combines a high-performance 900mm electric griddle with an integrated refrigerated base, delivering a compact, self-contained cooking solution purpose-built for busy commercial kitchens. The 12kW griddle features a 20mm thick smooth mild steel plate for exceptional heat retention and even distribution, while the refrigerated base maintains ingredients at a safe -2°C to +8°C with a tropical climate rating, keeping produce close at hand throughout a demanding service.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel inside and out, the EP516-RB is engineered for durability and hygiene. The suite-matched modular design allows it to integrate seamlessly with other Evolution Series equipment, and the ventilated R134a refrigeration system requires no condensate drain, simplifying installation. Optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate surfaces extend the griddle's versatility, making this unit an efficient all-in-one workstation for high-volume griddle cooking.
