Overview

Blue Seal GPE56 Evolution Series 900mm Gas Griddle Electric Convection Oven Range

The Blue Seal GPE56 Evolution Series combines a full-width 900mm thermostatically controlled gas griddle with an integrated 2/1 GN electric fan-forced convection oven, delivering a versatile, high-output cooking solution for restaurants, cafes, hotels, catering operations and busy hospitality venues. The 80MJ/hr thermostatic burner system powers a 20mm thick smooth mild steel griddle plate with top-weld sealed construction, providing outstanding heat retention and even distribution across the entire cooking surface for everything from breakfasts and burgers to steaks and seafood.

Beneath the griddle, the electric convection oven uses fan-forced heat circulation for faster, more consistent results when roasting, baking, reheating or batch cooking. Available in Natural Gas or LPG configurations and constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout, the GPE56 is engineered for durability, straightforward cleaning and reliable service in demanding commercial kitchens. It integrates seamlessly into the modular Blue Seal Evolution Series, allowing complete professional kitchen suites to be configured to any layout.
