Overview

Austheat AH860 Freestanding Electric Hotplate 600mm

The Austheat AH860 is an Australian-made freestanding electric hotplate built for high-output grilling in busy commercial kitchens, fast food outlets, and burger stations. Its 12mm thick heavy-duty machined steel cooking plate delivers exceptional heat retention and even temperature distribution across a generous 645 x 585mm cooking surface, making it equally suited to hamburgers, steaks, eggs, bacon, and pancakes.

Designed for operational flexibility, the AH860 features independent left and right Cook/Idle controls so operators can heat only the cooking area needed, conserving electricity during quieter periods. A dedicated toaster element with its own Cook/Idle setting enables one-sided toasting or salamander-style finishing. The unit can operate as a standalone machine or configured alongside Austheat deep fryers in a modular line, and twin digital temperature displays keep both zones clearly visible at a glance. Under-hotplate storage, a removable three-position adjustable shelf, rear castors, and adjustable front legs round out a practical, easy-to-maintain package.
