Overview

Blue Seal GPE58 Evolution Series 1200mm Gas Griddle Electric Convection Oven Range

The Blue Seal GPE58 is a heavy-duty 1200mm commercial cooking range combining a full-width thermostatic gas griddle with an integrated 2/1 GN electric convection oven, purpose-built for high-volume hospitality environments including restaurants, cafés, hotels, takeaway shops and catering kitchens. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it forms part of the modular Blue Seal Evolution Series and integrates seamlessly into complete professional kitchen suites.

The griddle section runs a 108MJ/hr thermostatic burner system across four burners beneath a 20mm thick smooth mild steel plate with top-weld-sealed construction, delivering outstanding heat retention and even temperature distribution across the full cooking surface. Below, the fan-forced electric convection oven circulates heat evenly for consistent roasting, baking, reheating and batch cooking, with a 50–320°C thermostat and a drop-down door for easy access to the 2/1 GN cavity.

Key Benefits

• The 108MJ/hr thermostatic burner system with three independent 90–300°C griddle zones allows different proteins, vegetables and breakfast items to be cooked simultaneously at precise temperatures, improving workflow during peak service.
• A 20mm thick mild steel griddle plate provides superior heat retention and rapid recovery between loads, reducing wait times and maintaining consistent food quality throughout a busy service period.
• The fan-forced electric convection oven delivers faster, more even cooking than static ovens, cutting cooking times and improving thermal consistency for baked goods, roasts and reheated items.
• Push-button piezo ignition on all griddle burners allows quick, safe start-up without a separate ignition tool, speeding up kitchen readiness at the start of service.
• Flame failure protection on all burners automatically cuts gas supply if a flame is extinguished, protecting kitchen staff and complying with commercial safety requirements.
• Adjustable stainless steel feet and two additional rear rollers make levelling straightforward and allow the unit to be repositioned easily for cleaning or reconfiguration.
• The stainless steel grease drawer collects griddle run-off in one removable container, simplifying daily cleaning and helping maintain a hygienic cooking environment.
• Optional ribbed, chrome mirror or smooth griddle plate surfaces provide flexibility for different menu styles, with the chrome mirror option minimising heat loss by reflecting heat back to the cooking surface.
• As part of the modular Evolution Series, the GPE58 aligns with companion suite pieces for a consistent, professional kitchen line-up.
