Two 40MJ burners heat an 892mm x 530mm griddle plate 20mm thick, giving separate left and right heat zones with their own 90-300°C thermostat each, so you can run one side hotter for searing and the other lower for holding. The plate is top weld sealed with an overlapping finish front and rear, so there's no lip or trap for grease and food debris to catch in during cleaning.

Each burner runs on full pilot and flame failure protection with piezo ignition.

The GP516-B sits on four 63mm diameter heavy-duty stainless steel bench legs with adjustable feet, for mounting straight onto an existing bench. Ribbed or mirror chromed plate options and joining caps are available for multi-unit runs. Blue Seal Evolution Series is made by Moffat in New Zealand, and comes complete with a gas type conversion kit if you ever need to switch between natural gas and LPG.

Best for: kitchens that already have a bench to mount onto and want a wide 900mm griddle for breakfast and high-volume flat-top service.

What's the difference between a Grill top and a griddle?

Grill top, also called a grill plate, is the option you'll find on our gas stoves and cooktops. It uses a thinner plate, around 12mm, with a single burner per 300mm section controlled by a simple valve rather than a thermostat, so it's either on high or turned down low. That plate is removable for cleaning, which leaves a gap front and back around it, and over time cleaning fluids like caustic can work into that gap and cause corrosion. Grease is caught in a shallow tray per 300mm section.

The GP516-B is a griddle, a different piece of equipment entirely. The plate is much thicker at 20mm, thermostatically controlled from 90-300°C rather than just high or low, and welded in as a sealed, non-removable unit with no gap for anything to get into. Grease drains into one deep tray under the whole plate instead of several shallow ones per section.

Does the GP516 range come on other bases besides bench?

Yes. This GP516-B is the bench model specifically. The GP516-LS comes on a leg stand, the GP516-CB comes on a fully enclosed cabinet base, and the GP516-RB comes on a refrigerated base with two GN 1/1 drawers underneath.
