Blue Seal GP518-CB Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Griddle – Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal GP518-CB is a heavy-duty 1200mm gas griddle from the Evolution Series, designed for high-volume commercial kitchens that demand consistent, precise cooking performance. Built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it sits on a fully enclosed cabinet base and delivers 108MJ/hr of thermostatic heat across a generous 1192mm x 530mm smooth mild steel cooking surface, making it ideal for large-scale breakfast, burger, and à la carte service.

Three independent 90–300°C thermostats give operators zone-by-zone temperature control across the 20mm thick griddle plate, ensuring even heat distribution and the flexibility to cook multiple menu items simultaneously. Practical features throughout – from push-button piezo ignition and a stainless steel grease drawer to adjustable feet and rear rollers – make the GP518-CB straightforward to operate, clean, and reposition on the kitchen floor.

Key Benefits

• 108MJ/hr burner output delivers rapid heat recovery during busy service periods, reducing wait times between batches.
• Three independent thermostats across the 1200mm surface allow different temperature zones to be maintained simultaneously for versatile, multi-product cooking.
• A 20mm thick griddle plate retains heat evenly and resists warping, producing consistent results across the entire cooking surface.
• Push-button piezo ignition enables fast, tool-free startup so the griddle is ready for service quickly.
• The stainless steel grease drawer centralises fat collection and slides out for fast, hygienic cleaning between services.
• Adjustable feet and two rear rollers make it easy to level the unit on uneven floors and reposition it for cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate alternatives allow the same unit to be configured for a wider range of cooking styles and menu requirements.
• Top weld sealed plates and a welded construction minimise food and grease traps, supporting faster turnaround and better hygiene compliance.
• Freestanding, fully modular cabinet base with a hinged door and internal shelf provides convenient under-griddle storage while keeping the kitchen footprint compact.
