Blue Seal EP518-LS Evolution Series 1200mm Electric Griddle on Leg Stand

The Blue Seal EP518-LS is a 1200mm wide electric griddle mounted on a purpose-built leg stand, forming part of the Evolution Series range designed for demanding commercial kitchen environments. Constructed with solid, seamlessly welded 304 stainless steel and featuring a 20mm thick mild steel griddle plate, it delivers outstanding heat retention and consistent cooking performance across the entire surface. Manufactured in New Zealand, the EP518-LS is thermostatically controlled across a single zone with a temperature range of 90 to 300°C, making it well suited to high-volume cooking of breakfasts, burgers, seafood, and more.

The leg stand features 63mm diameter heavy-duty 1.2mm 304 stainless steel legs, with two adjustable feet at the front and two rollers at the rear for easy repositioning and levelling on site. A framed top connects directly to the griddle unit, and the fully modular design allows the EP518-LS to be paired with other Evolution Series equipment for a matched suite finish. A stainless steel grease drawer, 165mm splashback, and suite-matching undershelf are all included, while optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate surfaces provide added versatility for different cooking applications.

Key Benefits

• The 20mm thick mild steel griddle plate retains and distributes heat evenly across the full 1200 x 480mm cooking surface, reducing hot spots and ensuring consistent food quality during peak service.
• Thermostat control across the full 90 to 300°C range gives operators precise temperature management, allowing a variety of foods to be cooked simultaneously or sequentially without quality compromise.
• Top weld sealed plates prevent grease and food debris from penetrating beneath the surface, making the griddle significantly easier to clean and maintain between services.
• The stainless steel grease drawer captures drippings efficiently and pulls out for quick emptying and cleaning, reducing downtime and supporting hygiene compliance.
• Two front adjustable feet and two rear rollers make levelling straightforward during installation and allow the unit to be repositioned in the kitchen without heavy lifting.
• Fully modular construction and a framed stand top allow the EP518-LS to connect directly with other Evolution Series units, enabling a cohesive, matched suite configuration that maximises bench space.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs are built to withstand the rigours of continuous commercial use, minimising maintenance requirements over the life of the unit.
• Optional ribbed plate surface or chrome mirror plate finish extends the range of cooking styles possible, while the mirror chrome option also helps trap heat on the cooking surface to reduce energy loss.
