Blue Seal G518B-B Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Cooktop with 600mm Griddle - Bench Model

The Blue Seal G518B-B is a 1200mm bench-model commercial gas cooktop from the Evolution Series, combining four powerful 28MJ/hr open burners with a 600mm smooth mild steel gas griddle on the right-hand side. Built in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, it is engineered for the rigours of high-output restaurant, café, hotel, and institutional kitchen environments where reliable, versatile cooking performance is non-negotiable.

The unit integrates cast iron burners with forged brass caps, vitreous enamel pot stands with extended finger supports, flame failure protection across all burners, and push-button piezo ignition on the griddle. Four stainless steel bench legs with adjustable feet and two rear rollers make positioning and levelling straightforward, while the modular Evolution Series format allows seamless integration into complete Blue Seal cooking suites or standalone bench installations.

Key Benefits

• Four 28MJ/hr open burners deliver rapid heat-up and highly responsive flame control for boiling, simmering, sautéing, and sauce work across multiple pots simultaneously.
• The 600mm smooth mild steel griddle expands cooking versatility, handling burgers, bacon, eggs, steaks, seafood, and breakfast menus alongside open-burner cooking in a single unit.
• Flame failure protection on every burner and griddle position provides a critical safety layer, automatically cutting gas if a flame is extinguished during service.
• Extended vitreous enamel pot-stand fingers improve stability for small pans and allow easy sliding between burners without tip-over risk, keeping service flowing safely.
• Forged brass burner caps and a non-clogging burner design maintain consistent flame spread and reliable ignition even under the heavy daily use of commercial kitchens.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs with clear, non-fade markings allow precise heat adjustment from high output to gentle simmer and resist wear that would otherwise require frequent replacement.
• Adjustable stainless steel feet (80–105mm height range) and two rear rollers simplify installation, levelling, and routine cleaning access beneath and behind the unit.
• 304 stainless steel construction throughout supports hygiene, corrosion resistance, and long service life in demanding commercial kitchen conditions.
• Modular Evolution Series design integrates directly with other Blue Seal 600mm-depth suite components, enabling a cohesive, space-efficient cooking line.
