Overview

Blue Seal EP56 Evolution Series 900mm Electric Griddle Convection Oven Range

The Blue Seal EP56 is a heavy-duty all-electric cooking range from the Evolution Series, combining a 900mm smooth mild steel griddle plate with an integrated GN 2/1 fan-assisted electric convection oven. Built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel with fully welded construction, the EP56 is engineered to deliver consistent, high-output performance across the griddle and oven simultaneously, making it a versatile centrepiece for busy commercial kitchens, cafes, and catering operations.

The griddle section features a 20mm thick mild steel plate divided into separate left and right heat zones, each with its own thermostat, allowing different temperatures to be maintained across the cooking surface at the same time. Below, the convection oven offers GN 2/1 capacity with 4-position racking and fan-assisted heat distribution, producing even results for roasting, baking, and finishing. Indicator lights for power and heating on each griddle control, a stainless steel grease drawer, cool-touch door handle, adjustable feet, and rear rollers round out a unit designed for ease of use, cleaning, and service.

Key Benefits

• Separate left and right griddle heat zones let chefs cook multiple items simultaneously at different temperatures, maximising flexibility during service.
• Fan-assisted convection oven reduces cooking times and delivers more even heat distribution than a static oven, improving consistency across every tray.
• GN 2/1 capacity with 4-position racking supports batch cooking and accommodates large gastronorm trays, increasing throughput without additional equipment.
• The 20mm thick mild steel griddle plate provides superior heat retention and even heat distribution, reducing hot spots and delivering reliable sear and cook results.
• Vitreous enamel oven liner resists staining and is straightforward to wipe down, reducing cleaning time between services.
• Indicator lights for power and heating status on each griddle control zone give staff clear, at-a-glance feedback during busy service periods.
• Adjustable feet and two rear rollers make levelling and repositioning the unit simple during installation or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Fully welded, top-sealed griddle plate construction prevents grease and food debris penetrating joins, supporting hygiene and extending equipment life.
• Smooth machined mild steel griddle surface suits a wide range of proteins, vegetables, and breakfast items, with optional ribbed or mirror chrome surface configurations also available.
