Three burners heat a 1192mm x 530mm griddle plate 20mm thick, with separate left, centre and right heat zones each on their own 90-300°C thermostat, so you can run different heats across the width of the plate at once. 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 GP518-CB sits on a fully enclosed double skin stainless steel cabinet base with adjustable feet and rear rollers as standard, and takes an optional GN 1/1 four position racking kit across one or two cabinet bays, up to eight 65mm GN 1/1 pans in total. 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: high volume kitchens that want enclosed under-bench storage built into the widest 1200mm griddle footprint, rather than an open leg stand.

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 GP518-CB 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.

Can I fit shelving inside the GP518-CB cabinet?

Yes. It takes an optional GN 1/1 four position racking kit, available across one or two cabinet bays for up to eight 65mm GN 1/1 pans of storage.

Does the GP518 range come on other bases besides cabinet?

Yes. This GP518-CB is the cabinet base version specifically. The GP518-B comes on bench legs, the GP518-LS comes on an open leg stand, and the GP518-RB comes on a refrigerated base with two GN 2/1 drawers underneath.
