Blue Seal GP514-B Evolution Series 600mm Gas Griddle – Bench Model

The Blue Seal GP514-B is a 600mm bench-model gas griddle from the Evolution Series, built in New Zealand for demanding commercial kitchen environments. Its solid, seamlessly welded 304 stainless steel body houses a 20mm thick mild steel griddle plate that delivers outstanding heat retention and even distribution across a 590mm x 530mm cooking surface, making it well suited to high-volume breakfast service, burger cooking, and general short-order cooking.

Powered by a 53MJ/hr thermostatic burner system with a 90–300°C control range, the GP514-B offers precise temperature management across four burners and accepts both natural gas and LPG connections via a 3/4" BSP male fitting. Practical design details including push-button piezo ignition, a stainless steel grease drawer, heavy-duty reinforced control knobs, and adjustable feet with two additional rollers make daily operation, cleaning, and servicing straightforward. Optional ribbed mild steel or chrome mirror plate surfaces are available to suit varied cooking styles.

Key Benefits

• The 20mm thick griddle plate retains and distributes heat evenly, reducing hot spots and ensuring consistent cooking results during busy service periods.
• A wide 90–300°C thermostat range allows operators to move between delicate items and high-sear cooking without switching equipment.
• Push-button piezo ignition enables fast, reliable start-up without the need for a separate lighter, reducing prep time.
• The stainless steel grease drawer simplifies clean-down between service periods, supporting hygiene compliance and faster turnaround.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers make it easy to level the unit on uneven surfaces and reposition it for cleaning or maintenance.
• Top weld sealed plates prevent grease and food debris from penetrating joints, making the cooking surface easier to clean and more hygienic over time.
• Compatibility with both natural gas and LPG gives operators flexibility when installing in venues with different gas supplies.
• The optional chrome mirror plate surface minimises heat loss by reflecting heat back onto the cooking surface, improving energy efficiency and cooking performance.
• A bench-model footprint of 600mm wide suits kitchens where space is limited, while still delivering a generous 590mm x 530mm usable cooking area.
